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 …

An alumanyl anion possessing N, N′-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl)-1, 3-propanediamine
ligand was synthesized and characterized. Transmetalation of this Al anion with …

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 …

This review deals with advances in the chemistry of organic isocyanide complexes of the
main group metals. Isocyanides acting as functional groups show a great dichotomy …

Since aluminum is the most electropositive element among the p-block elements, the
construction of molecules bearing a dianionic Al–Al σ-bond is inherently highly challenging …

We present facile access to an alumaborane species with electron precise Al− B σ‐bond.
The reductive rearrangement of 1‐(AlI2), 8‐(BMes2) naphthalene (Mes= 2, 4, 6‐Me3C6H2) …

Sequential addition of CNXyl (Xyl= 2, 6-dimethylphenyl) and CO to a tetrametallic
magnesium hydride cluster results in stepwise reduction and cross-coupling of these …

Activation of dihydrogen by masked dialumenes (Al= Al doubly bonded species) is reported.
Reactions of barrelene‐type dialumanes, which have the reactivity as masked equivalents of …

Dialuminenes RAlAlR (R= m-terphenyl or bulky aryl) react with the aromatic solvents (eg
benzene or toluene) in which they dissolve. We synthesized–SiMe3 substituted derivatives …

Using a V (II) complex as a reducing reagent, we demonstrate controlled reduction of
isocyanides, resulting in decyanation of alkyl isocyanides to form a V (III) cyanide complex or …
