Abstract Discovered in 2005, cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) are among the most
nucleophilic (σ donating) and also electrophilic (π‐accepting) stable carbenes known to …

Ein Kennzeichen der seit 2005 bekannten cyclischen Alkylaminocarbene (CAACs) ist ihre
ausgeprägte Nucleophilie (σ‐Donor) und zugleich Elektrophile (π‐Akzeptor). Diese …

Crystallography and quantum mechanics have always been tightly connected because
reliable quantum mechanical models are needed to determine crystal structures. Due to this …

The complexation of two equivalents of a cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene (CAAC) to
tetrabromodiborane, followed by reduction with four equivalents of sodium naphthalide, led …

We report herein the synthesis of a stable plumbylone (3) by reduction of a
bromodigermylplumbylene (2) with 2.2 equiv of potassium graphite (KC8). The molecular …

Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out at the BP86/TZ2P+ level for the
compounds SiC (L) 2 with L= NHCMe, CAACMe, PMe3 (NHC= N‐heterocyclic carbene …

Weak intermolecular interactions in organic semiconducting molecular crystals play an
important role in determining molecular packing and electronic properties. Single crystals of …

Abstract Upon stabilization by 5, 6‐bis (diisopropylphosphino) acenaphthene to form
compound 1, the fugitive antimony (I) cation exhibited nucleophilic behavior towards …

Herein, we present a general method for a reliable estimation of the extent of π-
backdonation (CcAAC← E) of the bonded element (E) to the carbene carbon atom and …

Reduction of the neutral carbene tetrachlorosilane adduct (cAAC) SiCl4 (cAAC= cyclic alkyl
(amino) carbene: C (CMe2) 2 (CH2) N (2, 6‐iPr2C6H3) with potassium graphite produces …
