Most of the chemical and biological processes involving the fixation and transformation of
small molecules have long been exclusive for metal complexes. Meanwhile, the last …

While the implication of the aromaticity concept has been dramatically expanded to date
since its emergence in 1865, the classical [4n+ 2]/4n-electron counting protocol still plays an …

Monophosphorus compounds are of enormous industrial importance due to the crucial roles
they play in applications such as pharmaceuticals, photoinitiators and ligands for catalysis …

Heavier group 13/15 multiple bonds have been under investigation since the late 80s and to
date, several examples have been published, which shows the obsoleteness of the so …

Boron-containing aromatic systems exhibit unique electronic properties and reactivities that
have been extensively studied for a long time. This review highlights the recent …

Conjugated boron heterocycles have emerged as attractive synthetic targets due to their
potential in medicinal chemistry and as electronic materials. However, the development of …

Dipnictenes are molecules comprising a double bond between two Group 15 elements
(referred as pnictogens (Pn)= P, As, Sb, Bi). Over the last decades, the chemistry of …

The synthesis and reactivity study of the first isolable boraphosphaketene, cyclic
(alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC)‐borafluorene‐P= C= O (2), is described. Photolysis of …

The reactions of 9-borafluorenes with organic azides result in either the insertion of the α-
nitrogen and elimination of N2 or the insertion of the γ-nitrogen to generate the …

Heterocycles containing group 13 and 15 elements such as borazines are an integral part of
organic, biomedical and materials chemistry. Surprisingly, heterocycles containing P and Al …
