Siloxanes have evolved into a multi‐million dollar business due to their manifold of
commercial and industrial applications. As siloxanes have high hydrophobicity, low basicity …

Given the alleged extreme toxicity of beryllium and its compounds, it is the least investigated
nonradioactive element. However, beryllium exhibits unique properties among the elements …

The inhalation of beryllium and its compounds can cause the development of chronic
beryllium disease in susceptible individuals. This is caused by a distinct autoimmune …

Abstract 9Be solution NMR spectroscopy is a useful tool for the characterisation of beryllium
complexes. An updated comprehensive table of the 9Be NMR chemical shifts of beryllium …

Reactions of the beryllium dihalide complexes [BeX2 (OEt2) 2](X= Br or I) with N, N, N′,
N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), a series of diazabutadienes, or bis …

The reactivity of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3) towards BeCl2, BeBr2, BeI2 and [Be3Ph6]
3 was investigated. While BeCl2 only showed unselective reactivity, BeBr2, BeI2 and …

The interplay of metal ions with polysaccharides is important for the immune recognition in
the lung. Due to the localization of beryllium associated diseases to the lung, it is likely that …

Alkaline earth metal catalysis has been a growing field in recent years. To enhance reactivity
and to understand the metal-substrate interactions in more detail, reactions are increasingly …

Herein we present the synthesis and coordination chemistry of the partially silicon based
crown ether analogues 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrasila-benzo [15] crown-5 (1) and 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrasila [18] …

Various pathways for the synthesis of beryllium triflate were investigated. The reaction of
triflic acid or trimethylsilyl triflate with beryllium metal in liquid ammonia led to the formation …
