Trivalent aluminium compounds are well known for their reactivity as Lewis
acids/electrophiles, a feature that is exploited in many pharmaceutical, industrial and …

The synthesis and isolation of novel low oxidation state aluminium (Al) compounds has seen
relatively slow progress over the 30 years since such species were first isolated. This is …

Synthetic routes to lithium, magnesium, and zinc aluminyl complexes are reported, allowing
for the first structural characterization of an unsupported lithium–aluminium bond …

The dearomatization reaction is a powerful method for transformation of simple aromatic
compounds to unique chemical architectures rapidly in synthetic chemistry. Over the past …

Lewis bases are well known to stabilize electron‐deficient species. We demonstrate herein
that the redox property of a monocoordinated aluminylene 1 featuring only four valence …

Like the previously reported potassium-based system, rubidium and cesium reduction of
[{SiNDipp} AlI]({SiNDipp}={CH2SiMe2NDipp} 2) with the heavier alkali metals [M= Rb and …

The large steric profile of the N-heterocyclic boryloxy ligand,–OB (NDippCH) 2, and its ability
to stabilize the metal-centered HOMO, are exploited in the synthesis of the first example of a …

The potassium aluminyl [K {Al (NONDipp)}] 2 ([NONDipp] 2−=[O {SiMe2NDipp} 2] 2−, Dipp=
2, 6‐iPr2C6H3) activates ethene towards carbonylation with CO under mild conditions. An …

Reaction of the ruthenium carbene complex Cp*(IPr) RuCl (1)(IPr= 1, 3-bis (Dipp) imidazol-2-
ylidene; Dipp= 2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) with sodium phosphaethynolate (NaOCP) led to …

Heterocycles containing group 13 and 15 elements such as borazines are an integral part of
organic, biomedical and materials chemistry. Surprisingly, heterocycles containing P and Al …
