Since the late 19th century, heavier tetrylene-and tetrylyne-transition metal chemistry has
formed an important cornerstone in both main-group and organometallic chemistry alike …

This study describes the first use of a silicon (II) complex, NHC-parent silyliumylidene cation
complex [(IMe) 2SiH] I (1, IMe=: C {N (Me) C (Me)} 2) as a versatile catalyst in organic …

The isolation of unusual compounds with low‐valent main‐group elements would not have
been possible without the development of a series of sterically demanding ligands with …

Activation of atmospherically abundant dinitrogen (N2) under mild conditions has been a
great challenge in chemistry for decades because of the significantly strong N≡ N triple …

The isolable chelating bis (N-heterocyclic silylenyl)-substituted terphenyl ligand [SiII (Terp)
SiII] as well as its bis (phosphine) analogue [PIII (Terp) PIII] have been synthesised and fully …

In stark contrast to the reactivity of the bis-silylenyl dicarborane CB–Si2 (1)[CB= ortho-C, C′-
C2B10H10, Si= PhC (tBuN) 2Si] towards O2, N2O, and CO2, yielding the same …

This work describes the synthesis and coordination behavior of a new mixed‐donor ligand
PhC (NtBu) 2SiC6H4PPh2 (1) containing both silylene and phosphine donor sites. Ligand 1 …

Isocyanides, being isoelectronic and isolobal to carbon monoxide, are an important class of
compounds in organic synthesis and coordination chemistry. In terms of reactivity, the …

Bis (chlorotetrylene) s of Si, Ge, and Sn have been synthetically realized starting from the
backbone‐bridged bis (amidine) 1. Double deprotonation of 1 and subsequent reaction with …

Several new, very bulky arene-bridged bis (amine)(viz. 1, 3-and 1, 4-{N (H)(SiPri3)} 2 (μ-
C6H4), L1H2 and L2H2, respectively) and bis (amidine) pro-ligands (viz. 4, 6-{[Dip (H) …
