The discovery of fullerenes in 1985 opened a new chapter in the chemistry of highly
symmetric molecules. Fullerene-like metal clusters, characterized by (multi) shell-like …

As members of the same group in the periodic table, the industrially significant elements
aluminum and gallium exhibit strong similarities in the majority of their compounds. In …

Although tetrameric Al (I) compounds have been known for a long time, the monomeric Al (I)
compounds that are analogous to carbenes are very recent entrants in Al (I) chemistry. They …

The last two decades have seen a renaissance in interest in the chemistry of the main group
elements. In particular research on the metals of group 13 (aluminium, gallium, indium and …

By combining selected former results with very recent ones, we will try to bring across the
following message: because of the thermodynamical instability of metalloid clusters as …

Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry II, Nine Volume Set reviews and examines topics of
relevance to today's inorganic chemists. Covering more interdisciplinary and high impact …

The chemistry of low valent aluminum and gallium compounds is a very topical area of
research. Accompanying the preparative challenge in synthesizing novel types of main …

Atom‐precise, ligand‐stabilized metalloid clusters have emerged as outstanding model
systems to study fundamental structure and bonding situations of compositionally related …

Abstract Die technisch wichtigen Elemente Aluminium und Gallium weisen als Nachbarn im
Periodensystem in den meisten ihrer Verbindungen starke Ähnlichkeiten auf. Dagegen gibt …

Subvalent compounds, that is, metal‐rich substances in which the average oxidation state of
the cation is smaller than would be expected from the (8− N) rule, have proved to be a rich …
