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 …

Transition-metal complexes featuring triple bonds to heavier Group 14 elements (Si, Ge, Sn,
and Pb), which have long been synthetic challenges in organometallic chemistry, have been …

The first N‐heterocyclic carbene adducts of arylchlorosilylenes are reported and compared
with the homologous germanium compounds. The arylsilicon (II) chlorides SiArCl (Im‐Me4) …

Abstract Tetrylidynes [TbbSn≡ Co (PMe3) 3](1 a) and [TbbPb≡ Co (PMe3) 3](2)(Tbb= 2, 6‐
[CH (SiMe3) 2] 2‐4‐(t‐Bu) C6H2) are accessed for the first time via a substitution reaction …

We describe facile synthetic methods for accessing linear cationic tetrylene nickel (0)
complexes [SiiPDippE· Ni (PPh3) 3]+(E= Ge (4) and Sn (5); SiiPDipp=[(iPr3Si)(Dipp) N]−) …

A chromium germylyne (or germylidyne) complex having a Cr≡ Ge triple bond,[Cp*(OC)
2Cr≡ GeTsi](1)(Tsi= C (SiMe3) 3), was directly synthesized by the photochemical reaction …

The synthesis of the m-terphenyl isocyanide ligand CNArMes2 (Mes= 2, 4, 6-Me3C6H2) is
described. Isocyanide CNArMes2 readily functions as a sterically encumbering supporting …

The first silylyne complex of a metal beyond group 6,[Cp*(i Pr3P)(H) Os Si (Trip)][HB
(C6F5) 3], was prepared by a new synthetic route involving hydride abstraction from silicon …

Two extremely bulky bis (aryl) amines, HN (Ar*)(Ph)(HLPh) and HN (Ar*)(Mes)(HLMes)(Ar*=
C6H2 {C (H) Ph2} 2Me-2, 6, 4; Mes= mesityl), have been prepared by palladium-catalyzed …

A molybdenum germylene complex having Mo–H and Ge–H bonds, Cp*(CO) 2 (H) Mo═ Ge
(H){C (SiMe3) 3}(1), was synthesized by the reaction of a methyl molybdenum complex with …
