Radical species are significant in modern chemistry. Their unique chemical bonding and
novel physicochemical properties play significant roles not only in fundamental chemistry …

Heteroatom-centered diradical (oid) s have been in the focus of molecular main group
chemistry for nearly 30 years. During this time, the diradical concept has evolved and the …

Singlet fission (SF) is a photophysical downconversion pathway, in which a singlet excitation
transforms into two triplet excited states. As such, it constitutes an exciton multiplication …

The synthesis, structures, and reactivity of the first neutral 2π-aromatic Si4 rings [LSiSiAr (X)]
2 (3: X= Br; 4: X= Cl; L= PhC (NtBu) 2, Ar= 2, 4, 6-Me3C6H2) were described. Compounds 3 …

A carbon–carbon double bond consists of a σ bond and a π bond. Recently, the concept of a
π single bond, where a π bond is not accompanied by a σ bond, has been proposed in …

In this feature article, an overview of the chemistry of pyramidanes, as a novel class of main
group element clusters, is given. A general introduction sets the scene, briefly presenting the …

Isolable compounds that contain π bonding without an underlying σ-bond framework (π-type
single bonding) remain scarce. Herein we report the synthesis and properties of 1, 3 …

Silicon and its related organosilicon chemistry has become a mainstay in synthetic chemistry
as they can participate in numerous organic transformations. Due to space limitations, this …

Herein, we reported the isolation of 2π-aromatic disiladiboretenes (L2Si2B2Ph2)[L= ArC (N t
Bu) 2, Ar= Ph (1), Mes (2)], which have been synthesized from the straightforward reduction …

Featuring an extra electron in the π* antibonding orbital, species with a 2‐center‐3‐electron
(2c3e) π bond without an underlying σ bond are scarcely known. Herein, we report the …
