This review serves to document advances in the synthesis, versatile bonding, and reactivity
of molecular main group metal hydrides within Groups 1, 2, and 12–16. Particular attention …

This survey of metal–metal (MM) bond distances in binuclear complexes of the first row 3d-
block elements reviews experimental and computational research on a wide range of such …

The chemistry of the group 2 metals (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium)
is dominated by the+ 2 oxidation state. Here, we report the reductions of two magnesium (II) …

The preparation and characterization of a series of magnesium (II) iodide complexes
incorporating β‐diketiminate ligands of varying steric bulk and denticity, namely,[(ArNCMe) …

From time to time I have the opportunity to give lectures on topics related to aromaticity.
Quite often in these occasions I get comments from the audience complaining about the fact …

This article summarizes the development of a new class of very bulky guanidinate ligands.
These have been used to prepare unprecedented examples of heterocycles containing …

The chemistry of the s-block metals is dominated by the+ 1 oxidation state for the Alkali
metals (group 1) and the+ 2 oxidation state for the Alkaline Earth metals (group 2). In recent …

An energy decomposition analysis (EDA) for single chemical bonds is presented within the
framework of Kohn–Sham density functional theory based on spin projection equations that …

The formation of hydrides at heterogeneous copper surfaces results in dramatic structural
and reactivity changes, yet the morphologies of these materials and their respective roles in …

The reaction of bromo-2, 4, 6-triphenylbenzene with activated magnesium in THF yielded
the Grignard reagent [(thf) 2Mg (Br)-C6H2-2, 4, 6-Ph3](1) with a Mg− C bond length of 214.8 …
