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 …

A series of benzyl (diphenylphosphino) and o‐phenyl (diphenlyphosphino) substituted
germylenes and plumbylenes were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution between the …

Quantum chemical calculations at the BP86/TZVPP//BP86/SVP level are performed for the
