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 …

The energy decomposition analysis (EDA) is a powerful method for a quantitative
interpretation of chemical bonds in terms of three major components. The instantaneous …

The progress in experimental and theoretical research in the area of main group compounds
that possess dative bonds, which was made in the last decade, is summarized. The focus …

Recent theoretical studies are reviewed which show that the naked group 14 atoms E= C–
Pb in the singlet 1D state behave as bidentate Lewis acids that strongly bind two σ donor …

A summary of theoretical and experimental work in the area of low-coordinated compounds
of boron and group-14 atoms C–Sn in the last decade is presented. The focus of the account …

Diazoolefins tend to be highly reactive compounds that rapidly lose dinitrogen. So far, most
experimental evidence for diazoolefins is indirect, via trap** experiments. Here we show …

Quantum chemical calculations using density functional theory at the BP86‐D3 (BJ)/def2‐
TZVPP level of theory are reported for transition metal compounds [TM]‐L in high and low …

The cyclic alkyl (amino) carbene (cAAC:)-stabilized acyclic germylones (Me2-cAAC:) 2Ge (1)
and (Cy2-cAAC:) 2Ge (2) were prepared utilizing a one-pot synthesis of GeCl2 (dioxane) …

In recent decades, N‐heterocyclic carbenes have become established as a prevalent family
of organocatalysts. N‐Heterocyclic olefins, the alkylidene derivatives of N‐heterocyclic …

Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to study the electronic structure of
metalated ylides particularly in comparison to their neutral analogues, the bisylides. A series …
