A thorough investigation of the reactions of diynes, R (C⋮ C) 2R, and polyynes, R (C⋮ C) n
R, with titanocene and zirconocene was performed using the metallocene sources Cp2M …

In the 1970s, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was borrowed from physics and adapted to
chemistry by a handful of visionaries. Now chemical DFT is a diverse and rapidly growing …

Two-electron reduction of the amidate-supported U (III) mono (arene) complex U (TDA) 3 (2)
with KC8 yields the anionic bis (arene) complex [K [2.2. 2] cryptand][U (TDA) 2](3)(TDA= N …

Metalated three-dimensional icosahedral boron clusters often exhibit high chemical and
thermal stability relative to their simple borane counterparts thus making them a convenient …

Anti-aromatic compounds, as well as small cyclic alkynes or carbynes, are particularly
challenging synthetic goals. The combination of their destabilizing features hinders attempts …

We report the first observed Pd-catalyzed isomerization (“cage-walking”) of B (9)-bromo-
meta-carborane during Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling, which enables the formation of B–O …

The first example of a transition metal (BB)-carboryne complex containing two boron atoms
of the icosahedral cage connected to a single exohedral metal center (POBBOP) Ru (CO) 2 …

The rather exotic and uncommon five-membered metallacyclocumulenes (1-
metallacyclopenta-2, 3, 4-trienes) Cp '2M (η4-RC4R)(Cp '= substituted η5-cyclopentadienyl) …

A series of nickel (II) and palladium (II) aryl complexes substituted in the ortho position of the
aromatic ring by a (pinacolato) boronic ester group,[MBr {o-C6H4B (pin)} L2](M= Ni, L2 …

Ortho-Benzyne [1]/aryne [2] are reactive and versatile intermediates in organic synthesis.[3]
Their diverse chemistry has been further enriched via the formation of metal aryne …
