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 …

Carbenes (R2C:), compounds with a divalent carbon atom containing only six valence shell
electrons, have evolved into a broader class with the replacement of the carbene carbon or …

Trivalent aluminium compounds are well known for their reactivity as Lewis
acids/electrophiles, a feature that is exploited in many pharmaceutical, industrial and …

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 …

Over the past few decades, β-diketiminate ligands have been widely used in coordination
chemistry and are capable of stabilizing various metal complexes in multiple oxidation …

Since the groundbreaking discovery in 2018 that the synthesis of a bottleable nucleophilic
aluminyl anion is feasible, a handful of derivatives have been developed to date, which are …

Bismuth has recently been shown to be able to maneuver between different oxidation states,
enabling access to unique redox cycles that can be harnessed in the context of organic …

Since the discovery that the so‐called “double‐bond” rule could be broken, the field of
molecular main group multiple bonds has expanded rapidly. With the majority of …

Synthetic routes to lithium, magnesium, and zinc aluminyl complexes are reported, allowing
for the first structural characterization of an unsupported lithium–aluminium bond …

The synthesis and isolation of novel low oxidation state aluminium (Al) compounds has seen
relatively slow progress over the 30 years since such species were first isolated. This is …
