Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are key steps in a wide variety of catalytic
reactions mediated by transition-metal complexes. Historically, this reactivity has been …

The geometry at an element centre can generally be predicted based on the number of
electron pairs around it using valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory …

The creative design and exploration of new bonding motifs and molecular architectures in
main group chemistry have pushed the boundaries of reactivity in this field of research. In …

Use of a silyl supported stannylene (MesTerSn (SitBu3)[MesTer= 2, 6‐(2, 4, 6‐Me3C6H2)
2C6H3] enables activation of white phosphorus under mild conditions, which is reversible …

The activation of phosphorus remains a popular and competitive area of research driven by
the dual goals of finding ways to avoid the environmentally questionable P–Cl compounds …

Odd-electron bonds, ie, the two-center, three-electron (2c/3e), or one-electron (2c/1e) bonds,
have attracted tremendous interest owing to their novel bonding nature and radical …

Organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) have wide application in organic synthesis, material
sciences, and drug discovery. Generally, the vast majority of phosphorus atoms in OPCs are …

In 2005, a facile dihydrogen activation was reported by the Power group using an alkyne
analog of germanium [ArGe≡ GeAr; Ar= 2, 6‐Trip2‐C6H3 (Trip= 2, 4, 6‐iPr3‐C6H2)]. After …

Abstract Bismuth diphenylphosphanides Bi (NONR)(PPh2)(NONR=[O (SiMe2NR) 2], R= tBu,
