Arene hydrogenation provides direct access to saturated carbo‐and heterocycles and thus
its strategic application may be used to shorten synthetic routes. This powerful …

Carbenes and nitrenes can exist in both singlet and triplet states, sometimes equally stable
and interconverting either thermally or photochemically. Many carbene and nitrene reactions …

Over fifty years ago, the 1, 2‐rearrangement of acylsilanes was first described by Adrian
Brook and co‐workers. This rearrangement (now termed the Brook rearrangement) yields …

Selenium NMR has become a standard tool for scaling the π‐accepting character of
carbenes. Herein, we highlight that non‐classical hydrogen bonding (NCHB), likely resulting …

The synthesis of chiral C1‐symmetrical copper (I) complexes supported by chiral carbene
ligands is described. These complexes are yellow emitters with modest quantum yields …

Abstract N‐Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐and cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC)‐
stabilized borafluorene radicals have been isolated and characterized by elemental …

Reaction of a tethered triamine ligand with Bi (NMe2) 3 gives a Bi triamide, for which a BiI
electronic structure is shown to be most appropriate. The T‐shaped geometry at bismuth …

Lewis bases are well known to stabilize electron‐deficient species. We demonstrate herein
that the redox property of a monocoordinated aluminylene 1 featuring only four valence …

No metal needed: Boron does the job! The activation of the inert dinitrogen molecule has
fascinated chemists for ages. In a ground-breaking study Braunschweig and co-workers …

Under a CO atmosphere, the dihydrodiborene [(cAAC) HB= BH (cAAC)] underwent
coordination of CO concomitant with reversible hydrogen migration from boron to the …
