Metal ions are ubiquitous in nature and play significant roles in assembling functional
materials in fields spanning chemistry, biology, and materials science. Metal–phenolic …

Confining molecules can fundamentally change their chemical and physical properties.
Confinement effects are considered instrumental at various stages of the origins of life, and …

Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

The chemistry of the p-block elements is a huge playground for fundamental and applied
work. With their bonding from electron deficient to hypercoordinate and formally hypervalent …

In recent decades, it has generally been recognized that carbenes play an important role as
transient intermediates. As a result of a number of stable carbenes having been isolated and …

Electron-pair bonding is a central chemical paradigm. Here, we show that alongside the two
classical covalent and ionic bond families, there exists a class of charge-shift (CS) bonds …

Cyclophanes, especially those where pyridinium units in conjugation with each other are
linked up face-to-face within platforms that are held approximately 7 Å apart by rigid linkers …

Mononuclear metal–oxygen species, such as metal-superoxo,-peroxo,-hydroperoxo and-
oxo complexes, are key intermediates involved in dioxygen activation and oxidation …

The article discusses the coordination chemistry of silicon (II). It states that the Si< sup> 2+
are high reactive and two-valence-electron species which were generated in laser-induced …
