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 …

An important role in organometallic chemistry is predicted for N‐heterocyclic carbenes,
which are no longer laboratory curiosites but have developed into an industrially interesting …

This review is based on the following premises:(i) that heterocyclic chemistry is a key to the
understanding of life processes and to our efforts to improve the quality of life for humankind; …

Phosphorus is a group 15 element of the periodic table. It is analogous with nitrogen,
perhaps the most common heteroatom in different aromatic systems (see pyridine 1 and …

Carbenes based on imidazole heterocycles (A, Scheme 1) have attracted considerable
attention owing to their inherent stability, 1 their interesting features of structure and bonding …

The first use of phosphenium cations in asymmetric catalysis is reported. A
diazaphosphenium triflate, prepared in two or three steps on a multigram scale from …

A variety of differently substituted 1, 3, 2‐diazaphospholenium salts and P‐halogeno‐1, 3, 2‐

This article summarizes experimental and theoretical evidence for the existence of four
distinct binding modes for complexes of anions with charge-neutral arenes. These include C …

This article summarizes the synthetic strategies that have been used to prepare anionic five-
