The addition of a B–H bond to an unsaturated bond (polarized or unpolarized) is a powerful
and atom-economic tool for the synthesis of organoboranes. In recent years, s-block …

The Grignard reaction offers a straight forward atom‐economic synthesis of
organomagnesium halides, which undergo redistribution reactions (Schlenk equilibrium) …

The large alkaline earths (Ae), calcium, strontium and barium, have in the past 15 years
yielded a brand new generation of heteroleptic molecular catalysts for the production of fine …

This chapter provides details of the recent progress in heavier Group 2-catalyzed small
molecule transformations mediated by well-defined heteroleptic and homoleptic complexes …

Sterically hindered amide anions have found widespread application as deprotonation
agents or as ligands to stabilize metals in unusual coordination geometries or oxidation …

The factors governing the stability and the reactivity towards cyclic esters of heteroleptic
complexes of the large alkaline earth metals (Ae) have been probed. The synthesis and …

Heteroleptic alkaline earth metal (Ae= Ca, Sr, Ba) amide complexes with the superbulky β-
diketiminate ligand DIPePBDI (CH [C (Me) N-DIPeP] 2, DIPeP= 2, 6-di-iso-pentylphenyl) …

Abstract Disilazanes (eg, hexamethyldisilazane, tetramethyldisilazane, etc.) are a group of
compounds containing a direct silicon-nitrogen bond, which can be easily cleavage and …

A series of new pyrazolate and mixed pyrazolate/pyrazole magnesium complexes is
described and their reactivity toward carbon dioxide is examined. The dimeric complex [Mg …

The previously described reaction of the low sterically hindered heteroscorpionate lithium
acetamidinates [Li (κ3-pbpamd)(THF)] and [Li (κ3-tbpamd)(THF)] with a series of …
