Since the seminal discovery of phenyl azide by Grieß in 1864, a variety of organic azides (R–
N3) have been developed and extensively studied. The amenability of azides to a number of …

The synthesis of the first inorganic four-membered neutral 2π-aromatic compound 2 is
reported. This unique ring has been synthesized from a simple and straightforward reaction …

Aromaticity is a key concept that underpins the behavior and applications of a wide range of
chemical compounds. Its impact on stability, reactivity, biological functions, material …

Herein, we reported the isolation of 2π-aromatic disiladiboretenes (L2Si2B2Ph2)[L= ArC (N t
Bu) 2, Ar= Ph (1), Mes (2)], which have been synthesized from the straightforward reduction …

Carbon compounds continue to show extensive structural diversity and expand chemical
bonding concepts to new frontiers. Although the bonding in di-coordinated carbon …

Herein, we report the stabilization of nitrene reagents as the source of a nitrogen atom to
synthesize nitrogen‐incorporated R1LSi‐N← SiLR2 (1)[L= PhC (NtBu) 2; R1= NTMS2, R2 …

Lithium reagents have long played important roles in synthetic chemistry. However,
unsaturated organosilicon lithium reagents are few in number. Herein, we describe the first …

The exploration of main group compounds with multiple bonds has significantly enhanced
our understanding of chemical bonding and expanded transition-metal-free bond activation …

The classification of π-/σ-aromaticity depends on the electrons with the dominating
contributions. Traditionally, π-and σ-aromaticity are used to describe the unsaturated and …

The synthesis, structures, and reactivity of the first unsaturated AlSi2 three-membered ring
systems were described. Reactions of dilithiodisilene [(NHB) LiSi═ SiLi (NHB)](1, NHB …
