The geometry at an element centre can generally be predicted based on the number of
electron pairs around it using valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory …

Since the late 19th century, heavier tetrylene-and tetrylyne-transition metal chemistry has
formed an important cornerstone in both main-group and organometallic chemistry alike …

IUPAC defines Lewis acidity as the thermodynamic tendency for Lewis pair formation. This
strength property was recently specified as global Lewis acidity (gLA), and is gauged for …

Anti-van't Hoff–Le Bel configured p-block element species possess intrinsically high
reactivity and are thus challenging to isolate. Consequently, numerous elements in this …

The synthesis, isolation, and reactivity of a cationic, geometrically constrained σ3-P
compound in the hexaphenyl-carbodiphosphoranyl-based pincer-type ligand (1+) are …

For a long time, planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC) represented an exotic coordination
mode in organic and organometallic chemistry, but it is now a useful synthetic building block …

Fundamental research on germanium as the central element in compounds for bond
activation chemistry and catalysis has achieved significant feats over the last two decades …

The design and development of diverse functional systems in recent years have achieved a
plethora of landmarks in the two cornerstones of supramolecular chemistry, ie, molecular …

A geometrically constrained phosphenium cation in bis (pyrrolyl) pyridine based NNN pincer
type ligand (1+) was synthesized, isolated and its preliminary reactivity was studied with …

Lewis superacids enable the activation of highly inert substrates. However, the permanent
presence of a Lewis superacidic center comes along with a constantly increased intolerance …
