Non‐covalent interactions play a crucial role in (supramolecular) chemistry and much of
biology. Supramolecular forces can indeed determine the structure and function of a host …

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 …

The ability of Lewis acids to coordinate to transition metals as σ-acceptor ligands was
recognized as early as in the 1970's, but so-called Z-type ligands remained curiosities until …

Names: Stradiotto, Mark, author.| Lundgren, Rylan, author. Title: Ligand design in metal
chemistry: reactivity and catalysis/[edited by] Mark Stradiotto, Rylan Lundgren. Description …

Efficient protocols for the syntheses of well-defined, solvent-free cations of the large alkaline-
earth (Ae) metals (Ca, Sr, Ba) and their smaller Zn and Mg analogues have been designed …

Over the past decade, the chemistry of σ-accepting or Z-type ligands based on main group
elements has drawn renewed attention because of the realization that their interaction with a …

Turn on the lantern! The stibine donor ligand of a cationic palladium complex acts as a
Lewis acid and reacts with a fluoride anion to afford the corresponding fluorostiboranyl …

Publisher Summary Ambiphilic derivatives, also called “amphoteric derivatives”, are
polyfunctional compounds combining Lewis bases and Lewis acids. Such donor–acceptor …

Gold (I) chloride complexes are stable, widespread precatalysts that generally require
activation by halide abstraction to display useful catalytic activity. Chloride scavenging is …

A new mode of bond activation involving M→ Z interactions is disclosed. Coordination to
transition metals as σ-acceptor ligands was found to enable the activation of fluorosilanes …
