2 (3: X= Br; 4: X= Cl; L= PhC (NtBu) 2, Ar= 2, 4, 6-Me3C6H2) were described. Compounds 3 …

Three amide ligands of varying steric bulk and electronic properties were utilized to prepare
a series of amido‐germanium (II)/tin (II) halide compounds,(LEX) n,(L=‐N {B (DipNCH) …

Silafulleranes with endohedral Cl–ions are a unique, scarcely explored class of structurally
well-defined silicon clusters and host-guest complexes. Herein, we report regioselective …

The growth of (semi‐) metal clusters is pivotal for nucleation processes in gaseous and
condensed phases. We now report the isolation of intermediates during the expansion of a …

Featuring an extra electron in the π* antibonding orbital, species with a 2‐center‐3‐electron
(2c3e) π bond without an underlying σ bond are scarcely known. Herein, we report the …

Abstract Group 14/16 adamantane‐type hybrid clusters of the type [(RT) 4E6](T= group 14
element, E= group 16 element, R= organic group) have been reported to emit white‐light …

Isolation of the neutral homocyclic silylene 2 is possible via amine ligand abstraction with
potassium graphite (KC8) and subsequent reaction with SiMe3Cl from a bicyclic silicon (I) …

The activation of small molecules by silylenes bearing unique electronic properties has
been well established in the past few decades. Here, we disclose the reactivity study of …
