Phosphines have played an important role in the rapid rise of transition metal-catalysed
processes and with the possibility of fine-tuning the electronic and steric properties of these …

Beyond the characterization of coordination bonding by various experimental or theoretical
signatures, an energetic measure of the quantitative dative character of a bond is derived by …

We describe nonmetal adducts of the phosphorus center of terminal phosphinidene
complexes using classical C-and N-ligands from metal coordination chemistry. The nature of …

Geometric perturbation away from classical structures can engender unusual frontier MO
situations leading to high Lewis acidity. Recently we reported a T-shaped bismuth triamide …

Modification of C–F bonds with main-group catalysts has typically employed electron-
deficient Lewis superacids in high oxidation states, and the challenges of preparing and …

While the chemistry of phosphenium compounds, including metal complexes thereof, is very
well established, few derivatives having a P–H bond have been described, yet. This work …

This article provides a means to classify and represent compounds that feature 3-center 4-
electron (3c–4e) interactions in terms of the number of electrons that each atom contributes …

A series of phosphine–stibine and phosphine–stiborane peri‐substituted acenaphthenes
containing all permutations of pentavalent groups SbClnPh4–n (5–9), as well as trivalent …

This work reports synthesis of a germylene based donor‐acceptor molecule and its thermal
excitation to a triplet state by coordination with a Lewis acid. Products have been …

Reductive elimination of [R3PPR3] 2+,[11 (R)] 2+, from the highly electrophilic SbIII centres
in [(R3P) 3Sb] 3+,[8 (R)] 3+, gives SbI containing cations [(R3P) Sb] 1+,[9 (R)] 1+, which …
