This review serves to document advances in the synthesis, versatile bonding, and reactivity
of molecular main group metal hydrides within Groups 1, 2, and 12–16. Particular attention …

There is growing interest in the design of bimetallic cooperative complexes, which have
emerged due to their potential for bond activation and catalysis, a feature widely exploited …

The Click reaction that involves Cu (I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) serves
as the most potent and highly dependable tool for the development of many complex …

Some scientists might consider group 2 chemistry as “boring, closed shell and all ionic,
aqueous chemistry, where everything is known! It is not worth investigating”. How wrong …

We present the graph-based molecule software Molassembler for building organic and
inorganic molecules. Molassembler provides algorithms for the construction of molecules …

The nature of transition-metal–olefin bonding has been explained by the Dewar–Chatt–
Duncanson model within a continuum of two extremes, namely, a π-complex and a …

The presence of a delocalized π-bond is often considered an essential criterion for
achieving planar hypercoordination. Herein, we show that σ-delocalization could be …

Conspectus As one of the most important and versatile elements, carbon renders itself as
one of the most fundamental and cutting-edge topics in chemistry, physics, and materials …

This review surveys the synthesis and reactivity of low-oxidation state metalate anions of the
d-block elements, with an emphasis on contributions reported between 2006 and 2022 …

Planar hypercoordinate compounds are fascinating but challenging to be realized. The
difficulty in stabilizing and fabricating such compounds prevent us from in‐deep …
