Radical species are significant in modern chemistry. Their unique chemical bonding and
novel physicochemical properties play significant roles not only in fundamental chemistry …

Nitrogen fixation is essential for the maintenance of life and development of society,
however, the large bond dissociation energy and nonpolarity of the triple bond constitute a …

The complex diberyllocene, CpBeBeCp (Cp, cyclopentadienyl anion), has been the subject
of numerous chemical investigations over the past five decades yet has eluded experimental …

Here we report that attempted preparation of low-valent CaI complexes in the form of LCa-
CaL (where L is a bulky β-diketiminate ligand) under dinitrogen (N2) atmosphere led to …

Two-dimensional metal carbides or nitrides (MXenes) demonstrate various excellent
properties; however, their poor permeability precludes their application in water treatment. In …

The synthesis of molecules that feature main-group elements in unusual oxidation states
and coordination environments is a primary pursuit of main-group chemistry. The p-block …

The reactions of anionic aluminium or gallium nucleophiles {K [E (NON)]} 2 (E= Al, 1; Ga, 2;
NON= 4, 5-bis (2, 6-diisopropylanilido)-2, 7-di tert-butyl-9, 9-dimethylxanthene) with …

In order to isolate a monometallic Mg radical, the precursor (Am) MgI⋅(CAAC)(1) was
prepared (Am= tBuC (N‐DIPP) 2, DIPP= 2, 6‐diisopropylphenyl, CAAC= cyclic …

Low-valent group 2 (E= Be and Mg) stabilized compounds have been long synthetically
pursued. Here we discuss the electronic structure of a series of Lewis base-stabilized Be …

Isolation of cyclic (alkyl) amino carbenes (cAACs) in 2005 has been a major achievement in
the field of stable carbenes due to their better electronic properties. cAACs and bicyclic …
