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 …

The successful isolation of phosphorene (atomic layer thick black phosphorus) in 2014 has
currently aroused the interest of 2D material researchers. In this review, first, the …

Prior to the year 2000, non‐aqueous uranium chemistry mainly involved metallocene and
classical alkyl, amide, or alkoxide compounds as well as established carbene, imido, and …

Low-valent early transition metals are often intrinsically highly reactive as a result of their
strong propensity toward oxidation to more stable high-valent states. Harnessing these …

This review comprehensively covers the coordination chemistry of elemental phosphorus
during the years 2011–2020. The main part is dedicated to the activation of white …

Organophosphorus compounds are important in everyday applications ranging from
agriculture to medicine and are used in flame retardants and other materials. Although …

This perspective summarizes recent results, which demonstrate that stable carbenes can
activate small molecules (CO, H2, NH3 and P4) and stabilize highly reactive intermediates …

Metal–ligand cooperativity has emerged as an important strategy to tune the reactivity of
transition-metal complexes for the catalysis and activation of small molecules. Studies of …

This Award Article targets the evolving, yet surprisingly fruitful, chemistry of N-heterocyclic
carbenes with low-oxidation-state main-group elements. Specifically, the chemistry of …

Monophosphorus compounds are of enormous industrial importance due to the crucial roles
they play in applications such as pharmaceuticals, photoinitiators and ligands for catalysis …
