The stabilization and isolation of highly reactive species has long been the subject of
chemical research. This review will focus on a large and important class of reactive species …

In recent decades, it has generally been recognized that carbenes play an important role as
transient intermediates. As a result of a number of stable carbenes having been isolated and …

The transition-metal (TM) chemistry of heavier tetrylenes (HTs), also known as heavier
carbene analogs, group 14 metalenes or group 14 metalylenes (compounds containing Si …

The chemistry of stable silylenes has received wide interest since the first isolation of N-
heterocyclic silylenes (NHSis) by Denk and West et al.[1] While stable silylenes have …

A series of new germylene compounds has been synthesized offering systematic variation in
the σ‐and π‐capabilities of the α‐substituent and differing levels of reactivity towards E− H …

New monomeric O, N-heterocyclic germylene AdAPGe (1) based on 4, 6-di-tert-butyl-N-
adamantyl-o-aminophenol is synthesized and structurally characterized. Germylene 1 in the …

The current state of the chemistry of mono‐and bidentate N‐heterocyclic germylenes,
stannylenes, plumbylenes, and related compounds is reviewed with special emphasis …

The ditopic germanium complex FGe (NIPr) 2Ge [BF4](3 [BF4]; IPr= 1, 3‐bis (2, 6‐
diisopropylphenyl) imidazolin‐2‐ylidene) is prepared by the reaction of the amino (imino) …

The synthesis, structure, and full characterization of a redox‐switchable germylene based on
a [3] ferrocenophane ligand arrangement,[Fc (NMes) 2Ge](4), is presented. The mesityl …

The reactions of the germylenoid Li (THF) 3GeCl2C (SiMe3) 3 with the carbonyl metalates Li
[CpMo (CO) 3] and K [CpW (CO) 3](Cp= η5-C5H5) in toluene afford selectively the …
