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 …

Cyclic structures represent a well-studied structural class due to the novel bonding modes
and reactivity these units possess and the ubiquitous role of cyclic intermediates in a wide …

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 development of bulky monodentate alkoxide, chalcogenolate (ER, E= S, Se or Te),
amide, pnictide (ER2= N, P, As), alkyl, aryl and silyl ligands is briefly surveyed. These …

The reaction of bisdicyclohexylphosphinoethane (dcpe) and the subvalent MI sources [MI
(PhF) 2][pf](M= Ga+, In+;[pf]−=[Al (ORF) 4]−; RF= C (CF3) 3) yielded the salts [{M (dcpe)} …

Significant progress in the chemistry of main group compounds (group 13, 14, and 15)
containing homonuclear multiple bonds has been made over the past three decades. This …

The formal bond order is half the difference between the number of bonding and anti-
bonding electrons. The relation between delocalization index (DI) from QTAIM and formal …

The growth and development of organometallic chemistry in both organic and inorganic
chemistry started 150 years ago. 1, 2a As part as this huge area, organolithium compounds …

Recent advances in the chemistry of stable heteronuclear heavy alkenes> EE '<(E, E '=
