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 …

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 …

The transition-metal (TM) chemistry of heavier tetrylenes (HTs), also known as heavier
carbene analogs, group 14 metalenes or group 14 metalylenes (compounds containing Si …

Since the late 19th century, heavier tetrylene-and tetrylyne-transition metal chemistry has
formed an important cornerstone in both main-group and organometallic chemistry alike …

The current state of the chemistry of mono‐and bidentate N‐heterocyclic germylenes,
stannylenes, plumbylenes, and related compounds is reviewed with special emphasis …

The N-heterocyclic stannylenes (NHSns),[(Dipp) N (CH2) n N (Dipp) S n](Dipp= 2, 6-
iPr2C6H3; n= 2, 1; n= 3, 5) and [(t Bu) N (CHMe) 2N (t Bu) S n](10) are competent ligands …

Reaction of the N, N′-diisobutyl-substituted benzannulated N-heterocyclic plumbylene
(NHPb) 1 with [Pd (PPh3) 4] and [Pt (PPh3) 4] gave the complexes [M (NHPb)(PPh3) 3](M …

The reactions of [Co2 (CO) 8] with one equiv of the benzamidinate (R2bzam) group‐14
tetrylenes [M (R2bzam)(HMDS)](HMDS= N (SiMe3) 2; 1: M= Ge, R= iPr; 2: M= Si, R= tBu; 3 …

The coordination chemistry of cyclic stannylene‐based intramolecular Lewis pairs is
presented. The P→ Sn adducts were treated with [Ni (COD) 2] and [Pd (PCy3) 2](COD= 1, 5 …

Four N, N′-disubstituted 1, 2-diaminobenzes (1a: R= t-Bu, 1b: R= adamantyl, 1c: R= Ph, 1d:
R= Dipp) have been prepared and reacted with E [N (SiMe3) 2] 2 (E= Ge, Sn) to give the …
