N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many
research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group …

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 …

In recent years bond arrows “!” have been used more and more frequently in the structural
formulae of main-group compounds.[1, 2] Thereby, the terminology of a central atom and …

Ligands with flexible donor properties exhibit the unique ability to transition within the
continuum of neutral (L-type) and anionic (X-type) metal bonding in response to their local …

The explosive growth of computational catalysis over the past two decades is reflected by
the exponentially increasing number of citations. The Essay traces the historical …

This Perspective article summarizes recent progress from our laboratory in the isolation of
reactive main group species using a general donor–acceptor protocol. A highlight of this …

Phase-transfer catalysts (PTCs), currently, are one of the most important tools of chemists for
performing organic reactions. PTCs accelerate several types of reactions in biphasic …

This review covers the preparation, physical properties, and applications of cyclopropenium
ions bearing one, two, or three amino substituents. It provides a description of the most …

The reactions of two highly strained cyclopropenimine ligands L1H and L2H (L1H= N 1, N 1,
N 2, N 2-tetraisopropyl-3-iminocycloprop-1-ene-1, 2-diamine, L2H= N 1, N 1, N 2, N 2 …

Folgt man dieser Beschreibung, sollte der Einfluss des Carben-Liganden gering sein, was
angesichts einer berechneten Si-C-Bindungsenergie von 169kJmolÀ1 fraglich ist. Analog …
