Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

Heavier alkene analogues possess unique electronic properties and reactivity, encouraging
multidisciplinary research groups to utilize them in the rational design of novel classes of …

While a stable base-free arylalumylene bearing a sterically encumbered terphenyl
substituent has been reported previously, we herein report that our attempts to form a base …

Triphosphiranes are three-membered phosphorus cycles and their fundamental reactivity
has been studied in recent decades. We recently developed a high-yielding, selective …

Treatment of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligated germylidenylphosphinidene MsFluid t Bu-
GeP (NHC i Pr)(where MsFluid t Bu is a bulky hydrindacene substituent, and NHC i Pr is 1, 3 …

Abstract Nitriles (R–C≡ N) have been investigated since the late eighteenth century and are
ubiquitous encounters in organic and inorganic syntheses. In contrast, heavier nitriles, which …

A facile synthesis for unprecedented stibastannene (10) featuring a Sn= Sb‐double bond
together with the homologous arsa‐(9) and phosphastannenes (8) is presented. Chloride …

Diphosphene TerMesP= PTerMes (1; TerMes= 2, 6-Mes2C6H3; Mes= 2, 4, 6-Me3C6H2)
and NHCMe42 (NHCMe4= 1, 3, 4, 5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) exist in an equilibrium …

The reaction of the bulky diphosphenes (Rind) P= P (Rind)(1; Rind= 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 7‐octa‐
R‐substituted s‐hydrindacen‐4‐yl) with two molecules of N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC; 1 …

Small unsaturated phosphacycles are versatile reagents owing to their strain and the added
functionality of the double bond and the phosphorus lone pair. Herein we report the …
