Catalytic reactions that enable the formation of new bonds to carbon centres play a
pervasive role in the state-of-the-art synthesis of organic molecules and macromolecules. In …

This review summarizes selected mechanistic insight garnered from reactions that form
bonds between main group elements with liberation of hydrogen, dehydrocoupling or …

Mono-substituted TSA precursor Si-containing film forming compositions are disclosed. The
precursors have the for mula:(SiHz) N—SiH, X, wherein X is selected from a halogen atom; …

A review of σ-bond metathesis is presented using Watson's 1983 observation of
degenerative methyl ligand exchange at metallocene compounds as a starting point. This …

A Pd-catalyzed dehydrogenative phosphorylation of thiols is developed. A variety of thiols
dehydrogenatively couple readily with all three kinds of P (O)–H compounds, ie, H …

The abilities of transition metal species to activate P–H and P–P bonds are emerging. Such
investigations provide novel M–P species, as well as stoichiometric and catalytic routes to P …

The Rh (I) complex RhCl (PHCy2) 3 (1)(Cy= cyclohexyl, C6H11) has been investigated as a
catalyst for the dehydrogenation/dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane adduct Me2NH …

An examination of several catalytic reactions among the group 15 elements is presented.
The connections between the chemistry of the pnictogens can sometimes be challenging …

Silicon and its compounds with other heteroatoms have received considerable attention,
particularly because of their applicative ability. Silicon forms a large number of compounds …

We describe the facile synthesis of [(Me3Si) 2CH] 2E= PMes*(E= Ge, Sn) from the reaction
of the tetrylenes with the phospha‐Wittig reagent, Me3P− PMes*. Their reactivity towards a …
