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 emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes as ligands across the Periodic Table had an
impact on various aspects of the coordination, organometallic, and catalytic chemistry of the …

The chemistry of low-valent main group compounds represents one of the most exciting and
quickly developing areas in the field of organometallic and organoelement chemistry. In this …

Phospha–Wittig reagents, RPPMe3 (R= Mes* 2, 4, 6-tBu3-C6H2; MesTer 2, 6-(2, 4, 6-
Me3C6H2)-C6H3; DipTer 2, 6-(2, 6-iPr2C6H3)-C6H3), can be considered as phosphine …

Syntheses, properties, and reactivity of N‐heterocyclic carbene–phosphinidene adducts are
reviewed. These adducts, formally built by combining a phosphinidene with a carbene, are …

This article contains a comprehensive review of the work carried out within the last three
decades on the synthesis, structural studies and reactivity of the binuclear complexes of …

An examination of several catalytic reactions among the group 15 elements is presented.
The connections between the chemistry of the pnictogens can sometimes be challenging …

Cage-opening reactions of the highly strained tri-tert-butylphosphatetrahedrane (1), shown
here to function as a synthon of (tri-tert-butylcyclopropenyl) phosphinidene, are described …

Phosphinidenes [R‐P] are convenient P1 building blocks for the synthesis of a plethora of
organophosphorus compounds. Thus far, transition‐metal‐complexed phosphinidenes have …
