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 …

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 …

Synthesis and structural characteristics of an isolable dialkylsilylene and its application for
the synthesis of unique silicon unsaturated compounds such as silanechalcogenones …

Deprotonation of benzoxazole, benzothiazole, benzo [b] thiophene, benzo [b] furan, N-Boc-
protected indole and pyrrole, and N-phenylpyrazole using an in situ mixture of ZnCl2⊙ …

Isolable compounds that contain π bonding without an underlying σ-bond framework (π-type
single bonding) remain scarce. Herein we report the synthesis and properties of 1, 3 …

We have developed a direct regio-and chemoselective method for generating functionalized
aromatic cuprate compounds through deprotonative directed ortho cupration using TMP …

Functionalized disilenes are valuable auxiliary tools in preparative chemistry. In the
following review the various synthetic potential of disilenes as precursors is presented. Upon …

1-Naphthyl-, 9-phenanthryl-, and 9-anthryl-substituted trialkyldisilenes 1− 3 were
synthesized as the first stable disilenes with single polycyclic aromatic substituents, allowing …

Sterically large substituents can provide kinetic stabilization to various types of low-
coordinate compounds. For example, regarding the chemistry of the group 14 elements …

Polysilyne with repeating disilyne units, a silicon analogue of polyacetylene, has a high
potential for application to various novel silicon-based electronic devices because of the …
