This review serves to document advances in the synthesis, versatile bonding, and reactivity
of molecular main group metal hydrides within Groups 1, 2, and 12–16. Particular attention …

Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

The chemistry of group 14 element (II) hydride complexes has rapidly expanded since the
first stable example of such a compound was reported in 2000. Since that time it has …

This third review in a series involving reactions of hydrosilanes and transition metal
complexes and characterization of the products covers the period 2009 thru 2013. After a …

Conspectus N-Heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) have gone from the topic of a few scattered (but
important) reports in the early 1990s to very recently being a ligand/reagent of choice in the …

There is growing interest in the design of bimetallic cooperative complexes, which have
emerged due to their potential for bond activation and catalysis, a feature widely exploited …

This Award Article targets the evolving, yet surprisingly fruitful, chemistry of N-heterocyclic
carbenes with low-oxidation-state main-group elements. Specifically, the chemistry of …

This account is a review on the synthesis and transition‐metal coordination chemistry of N‐
heterocyclic silylenes (NHSi's) over the last 20 years till the present time (2012). Recently …

Isolating stable compounds with low-valent main group elements have long been an
attractive research topic, because several of these compounds can mimic transition metals …
