Low-valent early transition metals are often intrinsically highly reactive as a result of their
strong propensity toward oxidation to more stable high-valent states. Harnessing these …

The identity and oxidation state of the metal in a coordination compound are typically
thought to be the most important determinants of its reactivity. However, the coordination …

This paper summarizes recent developments involving the preparation and reactivity of
molecular species stabilized by terphenyl ligands that feature new bonding environments …

While small carbon molecules have been found in locations as diverse as interstellar
molecular clouds, carbon stars, hydrocarbon flames and laserablated carbon, bulk …

Carbide complexes remain a rare class of molecules. Their paucity does not reflect
exceptional instability but is rather due to the generally narrow scope of synthetic …

The synthesis of the first terminal imido complex of cobalt,[PhBP3] Co⋮ Np-tolyl, is reported.
Its synthesis proceeds by oxidative group transfer from cobalt (I) upon addition of tolyl azide …

Reduction of (silox) 3TaCl2 (1, silox= lBu3SiO") with Na/Hg in THF leads to a three-
coordinate, Ta (III) siloxide,(silox) 3Ta (2). Derivatization of 2 with excess 02 or H2 provides …

Bulky siloxide and alkoxide ligands, notably silox (tBu3SiO), and tritox (tBu3CO), have been
employed as ancillary ligands in the chemistry of low-coordinate early transition metal …

Carbon dioxide is the ultimate source of the fossil fuels that are both central to modern life
and problematic: their use increases atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, and their …

The crystalline trilithium salt Li3 [N3N](N3N=[(MesSiNCHjCHjhN]*-) reacts with VC14
(DME)(DME= 1, 2-dimethoxyethane) to give [N3N] VC1 in 45% yield. The structure of [N3N] …
