Cyclonona‐3, 5, 7‐trienylidene (1) changes from being a transition state (TS) to minimum
states when substituted by α‐methyl groups and ά‐X, where X= CMe2, NMe, PMe, O, S …

Phosphazene chemistry continues to expand in its breadth and application. This article
discusses new research published in 2013 covering mono-and dimeric structures …

Assuming aromaticity (cyclic continuous conjugation, planarity, and obeying the Hückel 4n+

The synthesis of a bis (α-spirocyclopropyl) silylene is reported and its reactivity revealed.
Liberation of the silylene was accomplished by UV-light-mediated photolysis of a trisilane …

Substitution effects on stability (ΔΕ st) of novel singlet and triplet forms of bicyclo [2.2. 1]
hepta-7-silylenes are compared and contrasted, at B3LYP/6–311++ G** level of theory. All …

DFT calculations in combination with appropriate isodesmic reactions are employed to
assess topological effects of nitrogens on thermodynamic parameters of novel mono-, di-, tri …

The density functional theory (DFT) calculations are carried out to assay the effects of
nitrogen atoms on the stability and reactivity of singlet (s) and triplet (t) forms of novel …

Following our interest in exotic silylenes, here we compare and contrast 20 novel five-
membered cyclic silylenes, including saturated (sila) 0–4 cyclopentasilylenes (1–10) and …

The isomeric structures, energies, and properties of the substituted silacyclopropylidenoids,
SiC2H3RLiBr (R=-H,-CH3,-SiH3,-CN,-OH,-NH2), were studied by ab initio calculations at …
