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 …

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 …

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 …

Isolation and characterization of stable radicals has been a long-pursued quest. While there
has been some progress in this field particularly with respect to carbon, radicals involving …

Cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes with a six-membered backbone were prepared. Compared to
their five-membered analogues, they feature increased% V bur and enhanced donor and …

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are recognized for their ability to stabilize various main
group radicals; however, NHC-derived, sulfur-based radicals remain rare. In this study, we …

One‐electron reduction of C2‐arylated 1, 3‐imidazoli (ni) um salts (IPrAr) Br (Ar= Ph, 3 a; 4‐
DMP, 3 b; 4‐DMP= 4‐Me2NC6H4) and (SIPrAr) I (Ar= Ph, 4 a; 4‐Tol, 4 b) derived from …

The cyclic alkyl (amino) carbene (cAAC) anchored silylene with two phosphinidenes was
isolated as (cAAC) Si {P (cAAC)} 2 (3) at room temperature, which was synthesized from the …

Various compounds are known for transition metals in their formal zero-oxidation state, while
similar compounds of main-group elements are recently realized and limited to only a few …
