Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are key steps in a wide variety of catalytic
reactions mediated by transition-metal complexes. Historically, this reactivity has been …

Since the discovery that the so‐called “double‐bond” rule could be broken, the field of
molecular main group multiple bonds has expanded rapidly. With the majority of …

Since the latter quarter of the twentieth century, main group chemistry has undergone
significant advances. Power's timely review in 2010 highlighted the inherent differences …

Homodinuclear multiple-bonded neutral Al compounds, aluminum analogues of alkenes,
have been a notoriously difficult synthetic target over the past several decades. Herein, we …

The past decade has witnessed staggering progress in the chemistry of compounds with low‐
valent main‐group elements. Although these discoveries are mostly fundamental by nature …

The Al (I) compound NacNacAl (1, NacNac=[ArNC (Me) CHC (Me) NAr]− and Ar= 2, 6-
Pri2C6H3) reacts with H–X (X= H, Si, B, Al, C, N, P, O) σ bonds of H2, silanes, borane …

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 …

Reduction of the aluminum iodide AlI2Ar i Pr8 (1; Ar i Pr8= C6H-2, 6-(C6H2-2, 4, 6-Pr i 3) 2-
3, 5-Pr i 2) with 5% w/w Na/NaCl in hexanes gave a dark red solution from which the …

While a stable base-free arylalumylene bearing a sterically encumbered terphenyl
substituent has been reported previously, we herein report that our attempts to form a base …

Room temperature hydrogenation of an SIDep‐stabilized diboryne (SIDep= 1, 3‐bis
(diethylphenyl)‐4, 5‐dihydroimidazol‐2‐ylidene) and a cAAC‐supported diboracumulene …
