The geometry at an element centre can generally be predicted based on the number of
electron pairs around it using valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory …

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 …

Anti-van't Hoff–Le Bel configured p-block element species possess intrinsically high
reactivity and are thus challenging to isolate. Consequently, numerous elements in this …

The combination of (AlCp*) 4, a source of monomeric: AlCp* at elevated temperatures, with
DipTerPnPMe3 (Pn= P, As), so-called pnicta-Wittig reagents, at 80° C cleanly gives the …

Forcing a priori tetracoordinate atoms into planar configuration represents a promising
concept for enhanced reactivity of p-block element-based systems. Herein, the synthesis …

While a variety of compounds containing planar tetracoordinated carbon (ptC), the so-called
anti-van't Hoff/Le Bel carbon, are known experimentally, stable systems containing planar …

Calix [4] pyrroles are readily synthesized in one step from pyrroles and ketones. For several
decades, these macrocycles have been exploited as powerful anion receptors or ligands for …

The tetrahedron is the primary structural motif among the p-block elements and determines
the architecture of our bio-and geosphere. However, a broad understanding of the …

N-alkylation and N-metallation of pyridine are explored herein to understand how metal-
ligand complexes can model NAD+ redox chemistry. Syntheses of substituted …

Geometrically‐constrained pnictogen pincer complexes have emerged in recent years as
platforms for unique stoichiometric and catalytic chemical transformations. These complexes …
