The stabilization and isolation of highly reactive species has long been the subject of
chemical research. This review will focus on a large and important class of reactive species …

This review is essentially an update of one entitled “π-Bonding and The Lone Pair Effect in
Multiple Bonds Between Heavier Main Group Elements” which was published more than 10 …

In recent decades, it has generally been recognized that carbenes play an important role as
transient intermediates. As a result of a number of stable carbenes having been isolated and …

Although tetrameric Al (I) compounds have been known for a long time, the monomeric Al (I)
compounds that are analogous to carbenes are very recent entrants in Al (I) chemistry. They …

The chemistry of gaseous silicon dichloride has attracted much attention over recent
decades owing to its carbene-like properties.[1] Gaseous silicon dichloride can be prepared …

N-heterocyclic germylenes (NHGe) are very versatile ligands and the heavier homologues
of the better known N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC). They are closely related to the Ge (II) …

Recent years have witnessed important developments in organosilicon chemistry, courtesy
to the high yield access of stable monomeric chlorosilylene (LSiCl, L= PhC (NtBu) 2) and N …

Interstellar space is among the most remarkable chemical laboratories in the universe. The
existence of many unstable species with low-valent main group elements in the interstellar …

Herein we report on the reactivity of the stable germanium (II) hydride LGeH (L= CH
{(CMe)(2, 6-i Pr2C6H3N)} 2)(2), which contains a low-valent germanium atom. 2 is prepared …

Give me four: The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of [GeCl]+ and [SnCl]+ cations bearing
a carbodiphosphorane as ancillary ligand are presented. In the Ge compound, simultaneous …
