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 …

A growing number of organopnictogen redox catalytic methods have emerged—especially
within the past 10 years—that leverage the plentiful reversible two-electron redox chemistry …

The focus of this review is the presentation of the most important aspects of chemical
bonding in molecules of the main group atoms according to the current state of knowledge …

The chemistry of the p-block elements is a huge playground for fundamental and applied
work. With their bonding from electron deficient to hypercoordinate and formally hypervalent …

This tutorial explores the diversity and characteristics of C-donor ligands. Particular
emphasis is put on the conceptual design of the electronic properties for applications in …

Motivated by the discovery of main group Lewis acids that could compete or possibly
outperform the ubiquitous organoboranes, several groups, including ours, have engaged in …

The ability of an atom or molecular fragment to bind multiple carbon monoxide (CO)
molecules to form multicarbonyl adducts is a fundamental trait of transition metals. Transition …

Under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide (CO), a (phosphino) diazomethyl anion salt [[P]‐
CN2][K (18‐C‐6)(THF)](1)([P]=[(CH2)(NDipp)] 2P; 18‐C‐6= 18‐crown‐6; Dipp= 2, 6 …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable as ancillary
ligands in organotransition metal chemistry, with an enormous variety of NHC types known …
