Since the discovery of the first stable N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) in the beginning of the
1990s, these divalent carbon species have become a common and available class of …

In the last two decades, tremendous progress has been made towards the development of
compounds with s-and p-block elements. β-Diketiminate ligands have been widely used in …

Over the past few decades, β-diketiminate ligands have been widely used in coordination
chemistry and are capable of stabilizing various metal complexes in multiple oxidation …

The synthesis and isolation of stable main group compounds featuring multiple bonds has
been of great interest for several decades. A plethora of such multiply bonded complexes …

Since aluminum is the most electropositive element among the p-block elements, the
construction of molecules bearing a dianionic Al–Al σ-bond is inherently highly challenging …

Through a combined experimental and computational (DFT) approach, the reaction
mechanism of the addition of fluoroarenes to Mg–Mg bonds has been determined as a …

With the isolation of Cp3tAl (1), the first monomeric Cp-based Al (I) species could be realized
in a pure form via a three-step reaction sequence (salt elimination/adduct formation/adduct …

Additions of beryllium–halide bonds in the simple beryllium dihalide adducts,[BeX2
(tmeda)](X= Br or I, tmeda= N, N, N′, N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine), across the metal …

Anionic donor-functionalized NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes of Al are rare. We
report one such case here, an NHC-aryloxido AlMe2 complex [Al (L) Me2](2), following a …

The synthesis and characterization of novel N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) stabilized
dialanes Al2Mes4 as well as first investigations concerning the reactivity of these …
