Ligands, especially phosphines and carbenes, can play a key role in modifying and
controlling homogeneous organometallic catalysts, and they often provide a convenient …

The focus of this review is the presentation of the most important aspects of chemical
bonding in molecules of the main group atoms according to the current state of knowledge …

Abstract Die Chemie der heterocyclischen Carbene hat sich in den letzten Jahren stürmisch
entwickelt. Nach den Imidazolin‐2‐ylidenen wurden weitere cyclische Diaminocarbene mit …

The use of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in chemistry has developed rapidly over the
past twenty years. These interesting compounds are predominantly employed in …

Breaking down the calculated interaction energy between two or more fragments into well-
defined terms enables a physically meaningful understanding of chemical bonding. Energy …

The last quarter of the twentieth century and the beginning decade of the twenty-first
witnessed spectacular discoveries in the chemistry of the heavier main-group elements. The …

In this Account we have compiled a list of reliable bond energies that are based on a set of
critically evaluated experiments. A brief description of the three most important experimental …

This review is essentially an update of one entitled “π-Bonding and The Lone Pair Effect in
Multiple Bonds Between Heavier Main Group Elements” which was published more than 10 …

Beginning as chemical curiosities with the pioneering work of Curtius, 1a Staudinger, 1b and
even earlier efforts, 1c carbenes have played an important role as transient intermediates …

The chemistry of heterocyclic carbenes has experienced a rapid development over the last
years. In addition to the imidazolin‐2‐ylidenes, a large number of cyclic diaminocarbenes …
