Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are key steps in a wide variety of catalytic
reactions mediated by transition-metal complexes. Historically, this reactivity has been …

Carbenes (R2C:), compounds with a divalent carbon atom containing only six valence shell
electrons, have evolved into a broader class with the replacement of the carbene carbon or …

The chemistry of group 14 element (II) hydride complexes has rapidly expanded since the
first stable example of such a compound was reported in 2000. Since that time it has …

Since the first heavy alkene analogues of germanium and tin were isolated in 1976, followed
by West's disilene in 1981, the chemistry of stable group 14 dimetallenes and dimetallynes …

Since the first report of their isolation in 2007, magnesium (i) dimers have transitioned from
being chemical curiosities to versatile reducing agents that are used by an ever-increasing …

The potassium aluminyl complex K [Al (NONAr)](NON= NONAr=[O (SiMe2NAr) 2] 2−, Ar= 2,
6‐iPr2C6H3) reacts with 1, 3, 5, 7‐cyclooctatetraene (COT) to give K [Al (NONAr)(COT)]. The …

Heavier group 14 multiple bonds have intrigued chemists since more than a century. The
synthesis of stable compounds with double and triple bonds with silicon, germanium, tin and …
