Phosphorus ylides are 1, 2-dipolar compounds with a negative charge on the carbon atom.
This charge is stabilized by the neighbouring onium moiety, but can also be shifted towards …

Among a plethora of σ-donor ligands available, carbon-centered ones have become
essential, in particular with the emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), positioning …

Thermal Sn–C cleavage in the diarylstannylene Sn (AriPr4) 2 (AriPr4= C6H3-2, 6-(C6H3-2,
6-iPr2) 2) was used to generate˙ Sn (AriPr4) and˙ AriPr4 radicals for alkyne arylstannylation …

The reaction of readily available imidazolium–phosphonium salt [MesIm (CH2) 3PPh3](OTf)
2 with PdCl2 in the presence of an excess of Cs2CO3 afforded selectively in one step the …

Anionic, metal‐centered nucleophiles are emerging compounds with unique reactivities.
Here, we describe the isolation and full characterization of the first tetraamido tin (II) dianion …

A series of novel organogermanium (IV) catecholates 1–9 of the general formula R'2Ge
(Cat), where R'= Ph, Et, have been synthesized. Compounds were characterized by 1H, 13C …

The germylone dimNHCGe (dimNHC= diimino N‐heterocyclic carbene) reacts with azides
N3R (R= SiMe3 or p‐tolyl) to furnish the first examples of germanium π‐complexes, ie …

Control of the metal ligand interaction by changes in the ligand protonation state is vital to
many catalytic transformations based on metal–ligand cooperativity. Herein, we report on …

The bis (yldiide) mercury complex,(L–Hg–L)[L= C (PPh3) P (S) Ph2], is prepared from the
corresponding potassium yldiide and used to access the first substituted yldiide actinide …

The coordinating properties of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)(A), phenolate (B), and
phosphonium ylide (C) moieties were investigated systematically through the preparation of …
