The past decade has witnessed tremendous advances in the synthesis of polymers that
contain elements from the main groups beyond those found in typical organic polymers …

Recent advances in polymer synthesis have significantly enhanced the ability to rationally
design block copolymers with tailored functionality. The self‐assembly of these …

A survey of the state-of-the-art in the development of synthetic methods to incorporate p-
block elements into polymers is given. The incorporation of main group elements (groups 13 …

Despite the historic analogy between boron–nitrogen compounds and those of carbon [1]
and the expanding interest in polymeric materials based on main-group elements,[2] …

Cationic imidazoliumyl (phosphonio)-phosphanides [LC–P–PR3]+(1a–e+, LC= 4, 5-dimethyl-
1, 3-diisopropylimidazolium-2-yl; R= alkyl, aryl) are obtained via the nucleophilic …

Treatment of dichlorophenylphosphine with two equivalents of carbonyl-decorated carbenes
results in a two-electron reduction of the phosphorus centre concomitant with carbene …

Many parallels have been drawn between the chemistry of low-valent phosphorus and
carbon. This Perspective is intended to highlight some emerging reactivity of …

The synthesis and study of main-group-element analogues of alkenes and alkynes
containing genuine (pÀp) π bonds involving p-block elements is a central theme of inorganic …

Amphiphilic block copolymers containing phosphine moieties in the main chain are
employed as macromolecular ligands for gold (I). The sequential living anionic …
