This review serves to document advances in the synthesis, versatile bonding, and reactivity
of molecular main group metal hydrides within Groups 1, 2, and 12–16. Particular attention …

The chemistry of group 14 element (II) hydride complexes has rapidly expanded since the
first stable example of such a compound was reported in 2000. Since that time it has …

Since the first heavy alkene analogues of germanium and tin were isolated in 1976, followed
by West's disilene in 1981, the chemistry of stable group 14 dimetallenes and dimetallynes …

Conspectus N-Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) have gone from the topic of a few scattered (but
important) reports in the early 1990s to very recently being a ligand/reagent of choice in the …

Reversibility is fundamental for transition metal catalysis, but equally for main group
chemistry and especially low-valent silicon compounds, the interplay between oxidative …

This review article summarizes recent progress in the synthesis and optoelectronic
properties of conjugated materials containing heavy main group elements from Group 13 …

Abstract Vinylidene (H2C= C) is a member of the family of compounds of composition CH
(and isomeric with ethyne, HC≡ CH), but it has been observed only transiently—with a …

Oligosilanes are of great interest in the fields of organic photonics and electronics. In this
communication, a highly efficient visible‐light‐mediated hydrosilylation of electron‐deficient …

Intramolecular germylene, stannylene, and plumbylene Lewis pairs were reacted with
hexanal and yielded the cyclic addition products only with the germanium and tin reagents …

Reaction of a tethered triamine ligand with Bi (NMe2) 3 gives a Bi triamide, for which a BiI
electronic structure is shown to be most appropriate. The T‐shaped geometry at bismuth …
