London dispersion forces are the weakest component of Van der Waals interactions. They
arise from attractions between instantaneously induced dipoles on neighbouring atoms …

Chemists generally believe that covalent and ionic bonds form much stronger links between
atoms than the van der Waals force does. However, this is not always so. We present cases …

The open‐shell cationic stannylene‐iron (0) complex 4 (4=[PhiPDippSn⋅ Fe⋅ IPr]+;
PhiPDipp={[Ph2PCH2Si (iPr) 2](Dipp) N}; Dipp= 2, 6‐iPr2C6H3; IPr=[(Dipp) NC (H)] 2C:) …

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 …

The long-known, ubiquitously present, and always attractive London dispersion (LD)
interaction was probed with hexaphenylethane (HPE) derivatives. A series of all-meta …

This frontiers article highlights recent developments of the use of N-heterocyclic silylenes
(NHSis), the higher homologues of the Arduengo-carbenes, as ambiphilic activators and …

An arene-tethered silylene ligand, L (L= PhC (tBuN) 2SiCH2C (tBu) NAr, Ar= 2, 6-
iPr2C6H3), allowed the synthesis of three-coordinate Fe (II) silylamido and piano-stool Fe …

A study on the reactivity of the N‐heterocyclic silylene Dipp2NHSi (1, 3‐bis
(diisopropylphenyl)‐1, 3‐diaza‐2‐silacyclopent‐4‐en‐2‐yliden) with the transition metal …

The synthesis and characterization of Fe, Co and Ni complexes supported by silylene
ligands in the past ten years are summarized. Due to the decrease of the electron cloud …

The binding constants of several monodentate Lewis bases (L) having different donor atoms
[L= tetrahydrofuran (THF), tetrahydrothiophene (THT), pyridine, 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine …
