Recent theoretical studies are reviewed which show that the naked group 14 atoms E= C–
Pb in the singlet 1D state behave as bidentate Lewis acids that strongly bind two σ donor …

The progress in experimental and theoretical research in the area of main group compounds
that possess dative bonds, which was made in the last decade, is summarized. The focus …

A series of phosphorus ylide (P-ylide) CO2 adducts were synthesized and first used as
organocatalysts for CO2 transformation. Detailed studies on the cycloaddition reaction of …

Quantum‐chemical calculations with DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods [MP2, SCS‐MP2,
CCSD (T)] have been carried out for the molecules C (PH3) 2 (1), C (PMe3) 2 (2), C (PPh3) …

The article focuses on the chemistry of carbodiphosphoranes and states that the electronic
structure analysis revealed a very strong Lewis base chemistry of the protonated …

A summary of theoretical and experimental work in the area of low-coordinated compounds
of boron and group-14 atoms C–Sn in the last decade is presented. The focus of the account …

Quantum‐chemical calculations with DFT (BP86) and ab initio methods (MP2, SCS‐MP2)
were carried out for protonated and diprotonated compounds N‐H+ and N‐(H+) 2 and for …

The ability to bind CO2 through the formation of low-energy, easily-broken, bonds could
prove invaluable in a variety of chemical contexts. For example, weak bonds to CO2 would …

Quantum chemical studies show that there is a class of carbon compounds with the general
formular CL2 where the carbon atom retains its four valence electrons as two lone pairs. The …

Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to study the electronic structure of
metalated ylides particularly in comparison to their neutral analogues, the bisylides. A series …
