Key challenges in modern synthetic chemistry include the design of reliable, selective, and
more sustainable synthetic methods, as well as the development of promising candidates for …

Homoleptic cyanide compounds exist of almost all main group elements. While the alkali
metals and alkaline earth metals form cyanide salts, the cyanides of the lighter main group …

Thousands of crystal structures containing bismuth have been deposited in various crystal
structure databases since late last century; in many, a covalently or coordinately bonded …

A convenient synthesis of dicyanophosphide and dicyanoarsenide anions is reported.
These heavy homologues of the long‐known and fundamentally important dicyanamide …

A facile hydrothermal route without additives was used to prepare novel Ba bismuthate
nanobelts. The Ba bismuthate nanobelts were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD) …

When [PPN] SCN (1; PPN=[Ph3P–N–PPh3]) is treated with Me3Si–SCN in
methanol,[PPN][H (NCS) 2](2), a hydrogen diisothiocyanate salt bearing the [H (NCS) 2] …

Intermolecular bonds play a crucial role in the rational design of crystal structures, dubbed
crystal engineering. The relatively new term tetrel bonds (TBs) describes a long-known type …

The chemistry of arsenic cyanides has been investigated and is found to be completely
different to the chemistry of the heavier analogs antimony and bismuth as well as …

The rare octahedral EC6 coordination skeleton type is unknown for complexes with
coordination centers consisting of group 14 elements. Here, the first examples of such EC6 …

Within the second funding period of the SPP 1708 “Material Synthesis near Room
Temperature”, which started in 2017, we were able to synthesize novel anionic species …
