A family of chelating aryl-functionalized germylene ligands has been developed and
employed in the synthesis of their corresponding 16-electron Ni0 complexes …

Control of the metal ligand interaction by changes in the ligand protonation state is vital to
many catalytic transformations based on metal–ligand cooperativity. Herein, we report on …

Polydentate ligands are used for thermodynamic stabilization of tetrylenes—low-valent
derivatives of Group 14 elements (E= Si, Ge, Sn, Pb). This work shows by DFT calculations …

Density functional theory calculations predict that strongly π-electron donating functionalities
such as ylidic groups can be used as an ideal structural motif for stabilizing the hitherto …

Computational investigations provide evidence toward the remarkable ability of strongly
electron-donating ylidic functionalities in stabilizing singlet group 13 carbenoids with …

peri-Substituted naphthalene complexes (Trip2Pn) 2Naph (Pn= Sb 1, Bi 2) were synthesised
and their redox behaviour investigated. Oxidation of 1 with [Fc][BArF](BArF= B (C6F5) 4) …

The chemistry of low valent main group compounds has grown as an alternative to the
chemistry of less abundant and less green transition metal complexes. It has been found that …

Owing to the strong electron‐donating ability of ylide substituents, diylidyltetrylenes are
usually highly nucleophilic species with strong donor capacities. Here, we demonstrate that …

Divalent group 14 element compounds (heavier carbenes) have been shown to serve as
transition metal mimics and thus can activate small molecules and strong bonds at mild …
