We report the first synthesis and structural characterization of free, uncomplexed phosphet-2-
ones. These unsaturated four-membered phosphacycles were prepared by phosphinidene …

This literature review focuses on the use of metal-or metalloid-based reagents to generate
ortho-arynes from stable precursors via organometallic intermediates or to generate …

Systematic explorations of organozirconium chemistry over the past quarter of a century
have led to the discoveries and development as well as structural and mechanistic …

The base-free benzoborirene 1, 2-BR-1, 2-C6H4 (7) and its three-dimensional inorganic
analogue 1, 2-BR-1, 2-C2B10H10 (13) have been successfully synthesized by Cp2ZrBr2 …

We describe the synthesis of π‐extended phosphetene rings (4‐member P‐rings) flanked
with PAH systems of various topologies. These compounds are fully characterized including …

Transition-metal benzyne complexes exhibit a rich smallmolecule chemistry, with potential
application in organic synthesis.[1] For example, the prototypal benzyne complex,[Cp2Zr (η2 …

This account describes recent development in carbon–carbon bond cleavage reactions and
selective transformation of 5-membered zirconacycles, including zirconacyclopentanes …

The cycloaddition of 1-phosphabutadienes with AuI and PdII proceeds very differently when
the hydrogen substituent in the 3-position is replaced by methyl. Specifically, 1 …

A highly stereo-and chemoselective intermolecular coupling of diverse heterocycles with
dialkynylphosphine oxides has been realized via cobalt/rhodium-catalyzed C–H bond …

A transition metal free route to phosphetes featuring an exocyclic alkene unit is presented. In
this approach phosphanides are added to a variety of diynes generating phosphaallylic …
