Since the discovery that the so‐called “double‐bond” rule could be broken, the field of
molecular main group multiple bonds has expanded rapidly. With the majority of …

The carboxylate ligand,[RCO 2]−, is one of the most versatile and hence also one of the most
ubiquitous ligands in coordination chemistry.(1-4) Although fairly simple coordination modes …

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 …

Homodinuclear multiple-bonded neutral Al compounds, aluminum analogues of alkenes,
have been a notoriously difficult synthetic target over the past several decades. Herein, we …

Main group multiple bonds have proven their ability to act as transition metal mimics in the
last few decades. However, catalytic application of these species is still in its infancy. Herein …

The synthesis and isolation of stable main group compounds featuring multiple bonds has
been of great interest for several decades. A plethora of such multiply bonded complexes …

Metal phosphonates have been recognized as promising catalysts due to their unique
properties such as convenient synthesis routes, lower cost, tunable acidity and basicity, and …
