Since the prediction of the existence of metallabenzenes in 1979, metallaaromatic chemistry
has developed rapidly, due to its importance in both experimental and theoretical fields …

This review article summarizes recent progress in the synthesis and optoelectronic
properties of conjugated materials containing heavy main group elements from Group 13 …

Until recently the low-coordinate compounds of the heavier elements of group 14 were
known only as transient, unstable species which were difficult to isolate. However recent …

Substituting carbon with silicon in organic molecules and materials has long been an
attractive way to modify their electronic structure and properties. Silicon-doped graphene …

Abstract The first 1, 4‐distibabenzene‐1, 4‐diide compound [(ADC) Sb] 2 (5) based on an
anionic dicarbene (ADC)(ADC= PhC {N (Dipp) C} 2, Dipp= 2, 6‐iPr2C6H3) is reported as a …

The isolation of silicon analogues of phenyl anions such as (C6H5)− and (C6H4) 2–is
challenging owing to their extremely high reactivity associated with their silylene character …

Transition metal-containing metallabenzenes and metallabenzynes are organometallic
compounds derived from formal replacement of a CH group or a C atom in benzene and …

The heavier analogues of graphene, namely silicene and germanene, are known to be
buckled. Such buckling leads to interesting properties like direct band gap in hydrogenated …

The synthesis of the first inorganic four-membered neutral 2π-aromatic compound 2 is
reported. This unique ring has been synthesized from a simple and straightforward reaction …

The reduction of an overcrowded (E)-1, 2-dibromodigermene, Bbt (Br) Ge Ge (Br) Bbt
(2)[Bbt= 2, 6-bis [bis (trimethylsilyl) methyl]-4-[tris (trimethylsilyl) methyl] phenyl], with KC8 …
