Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

Abstract Discovered in 2005, cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) are among the most
nucleophilic (σ donating) and also electrophilic (π‐accepting) stable carbenes known to …

The energy decomposition analysis (EDA) is a powerful method for a quantitative
interpretation of chemical bonds in terms of three major components. The instantaneous …

The focus of this review is the presentation of the most important aspects of chemical
bonding in molecules of the main group atoms according to the current state of knowledge …

Breaking down the calculated interaction energy between two or more fragments into well-
defined terms enables a physically meaningful understanding of chemical bonding. Energy …

The progress in experimental and theoretical research in the area of main group compounds
that possess dative bonds, which was made in the last decade, is summarized. The focus …

We discuss the fundamental aspects of the EDA-NOCV method and address some critical
comments that have been made recently. The EDA-NOCV method unlike most other …

Ein Kennzeichen der seit 2005 bekannten cyclischen Alkylaminocarbene (CAACs) ist ihre
ausgeprägte Nucleophilie (σ‐Donor) und zugleich Elektrophile (π‐Akzeptor). Diese …

We report the synthesis and spectroscopic identification of the trisbenzene complexes of
strontium and barium M (Bz) 3 (M= Sr, Ba) in low‐temperature Ne matrix. Both complexes …

We challenge the assignment of the oxidation state+ 2 for beryllium and magnesium in the
complexes Be (cAACDip) 2 and Mg (cAACDip) 2 as suggested by Gimferrer et al., Chem …
