Dipnictenes are molecules comprising a double bond between two Group 15 elements
(referred as pnictogens (Pn)= P, As, Sb, Bi). Over the last decades, the chemistry of …

Abstract The reagent RK [R= CH (SiMe3) 2 or N (SiMe3) 2] was expected to react with the
low‐valent (DIPPBDI) Al (DIPPBDI= HC [C (Me) N (DIPP)] 2, DIPP= 2, 6‐iPr‐phenyl) to give …

The reactions of the cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) 1 with phosphaalkynes generate the
kinetically unstable CAAC‐derived phosphirenes 4 and 5, which undergo rearrangement …

Modulating the electronic structures of main group element compounds is crucial to control
their chemical reactivity. Herein we report on the synthesis, frontier orbital modulation, and …

The olefinic C− H bond functionalization of (NHC) CHPh (NHC= IPr= C {(NAr) CH} 2 1; SIPr=
C {(NAr) CH2} 2 2; Ar= 2, 6‐iPr2C6H3), derived from classical N‐heterocyclic carbenes …

Abstract The first divinyldiarsenes [{(NHC) C (Ph)} As] 2 (NHC= IPr 3 a, SIPr 3 b; IPr= C
{(NAr) CH} 2; SIPr= C {(NAr) CH2} 2; Ar= 2, 6‐iPr2C6H3) are reported. Compounds 3 a and …

In this contribution we describe the general use of aryl-substituted triphosphiranes (Ar3P3;
Ar= Mes, Dip, Tip) as phosphinidene transfer reagents towards N-heterocyclic carbenes …

Classically tetraaryl diphosphanes have been synthesized through Wurtz-type reductive
coupling of halophosphanes R2PX or more recently, through the dehydrocoupling of …

Phosphaenones, like their carbon analogue enones (CC–CO), are promising building
blocks for synthetic chemistry and materials science. However, in contrast to the α-and β …

NHC–phosphinidene (NHCP) adducts are an emerging class of ligands with proven binding
ability for main group and transition metal elements. They possess electron-rich P atoms …
