While the implication of the aromaticity concept has been dramatically expanded to date
since its emergence in 1865, the classical [4n+ 2]/4n-electron counting protocol still plays an …

Conspectus Group 14 element heteroles are the heavier analogues of cyclopentadienes in
which a heavier group 14 element atom replaces the sp3 carbon atom. In particular siloles …

Using dianionic metallole ligands (silole or germole) and the cyclooctatetraendiide dianion,
heteroleptic lanthanide multi-decker complexes have been prepared. Due to the heteroatom …

As heavier aromatic analogs of the cyclopentadienides, group 14 dianionic metalloles
exhibit more versatile reactivity and coordination modes due to the additional lone pair at the …

Since the dawn of organometallic chemistry, transition metal complexes of unsaturated
organic molecules, namely π-complexes, have remained a central focus: our thorough …

The reactions of dipotassium 3, 4-dimethyl-2, 5-bis (trimethylsilyl)-germole dianion K2 [1]
with YCl3 and Cp* YCl2 (Cp*= cyclopentadienyl) in THF at room temperature afforded the …

The synthesis of dipotassio-2, 5-bis (trialkylsilyl) silacyclopentadienediides K2 [3] and
germacyclopentadienediides K2 [4] is reported. The prepared silole dianions, 3, are …

The reduction of a 1‐mesityl‐2, 5‐bis‐trimethylsilylchlorogermole 8 with KC8 is reported.
While the reaction with one equivalent of KC8 gave the dimer with a Ge− Ge bond 10 …

The salt metathesis reaction of dipotassium germacyclopentadienediide with aluminum (III)
dichlorides provides either half‐sandwich alumole complexes of germanium (II) or …

This manuscript includes a comprehensive study of the synthesis and spectroscopic features
of 2, 5-disilyl boroles. Reacting boron trichloride BCl3 with 2, 3-Ph* 2-1, 4-(SiMe3) 2-1, 4 …
