This review is essentially an update of one entitled “π-Bonding and The Lone Pair Effect in
Multiple Bonds Between Heavier Main Group Elements” which was published more than 10 …

Biradicals are molecules consisting of two unpaired electrons in two nearly degenerate non-
bonding molecular orbitals (NBMOs). They play a central role in bond breaking and …

Although tetrameric Al (I) compounds have been known for a long time, the monomeric Al (I)
compounds that are analogous to carbenes are very recent entrants in Al (I) chemistry. They …

Heavier group 14 multiple bonds have intrigued chemists since more than a century. The
synthesis of stable compounds with double and triple bonds with silicon, germanium, tin and …

This review summarises some recent results on synthesis, structures, and reactivity of the
heavier analogues of carbenes, alkenes, and dienes. With the isolation of the first …

The small ring systems consisting of Group 14 elements heavier than carbon, ie, Si, Ge, Sn,
and Pb, have always been among the most attractive synthetic challenges in the chemistry …

The synthesis and characterization of multiply bonded heavier main group element
compounds is a major area of interest in organometallic chemistry.[1] A primary focus of this …

The rapidly growing chemistry of the cations, radicals, and anions based on the group 14
elements heavier than carbon (Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) is one of the most important …

Organosilyl anions are highly useful reagents in organic and inorganic synthesis. Although
the structure and reactivity of lithiated derivatives have been studied in detail,[1] information …

Recent advances in the chemistry of stable heteronuclear heavy alkenes> EE '<(E, E '=
group 14 elements) are reviewed, covering silenes (> Si C<), germenes (> Ge C<) …
