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 …

The chemistry of low valent p-block metal complexes continues to elicit interest in the
research community, demonstrating reactivity that replicates and in some cases exceeds …

Regioselective functionalization of arenes remains a challenging problem in organic
synthesis. Steric interactions are often used to block sites adjacent to a given substituent, but …

An alumanyl anion possessing N, N′-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-1, 3-propanediamine
ligand was synthesized and characterized. Transmetalation of this Al anion with …

With fluoroaromatic compounds increasingly employed as scaffolds in agrochemicals and
active pharmaceutical ingredients, the development of methods which facilitate …

Homologation of carbon monoxide is central to the heterogeneous Fischer–Tropsch process
for the production of hydrocarbon fuels. C–C bond formation has been modeled by …

Expanding knowledge of low valent aluminium chemistry, rubidium and caesium aluminyls
are reported to complete the group 1 (Li–Cs) set of metal aluminyls. Both compounds …

The dearomatization reaction is a powerful method for transformation of simple aromatic
compounds to unique chemical architectures rapidly in synthetic chemistry. Over the past …

To date, aluminyl anions have been exclusively isolated as their potassium salts. We report
herein the synthesis of the lithium and sodium aluminyls, M2 [Al (NONDipp)] 2 (M= Li, Na …

The photochemical activation of dimagnesium (I) compounds, and subsequent high yielding,
regioselective reactions with inert arenes are reported. Irradiating benzene solutions of …
