The geometry at an element centre can generally be predicted based on the number of
electron pairs around it using valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory …

The utility of carbazole in photo-, electro-, and medicinal applications has ensured its
widespread use also as the backbone in tridentate pincer ligands. In this review, the aim is …

Anti-van't Hoff–Le Bel configured p-block element species possess intrinsically high
reactivity and are thus challenging to isolate. Consequently, numerous elements in this …

Herein we present the catalytic activation of N2O at a BiI⇄ BiIII redox platform. The activation
of such a kinetically inert molecule was achieved by the use of bismuthinidene catalysts …

The synthesis, isolation, and reactivity of a cationic, geometrically constrained σ3-P
compound in the hexaphenyl-carbodiphosphoranyl-based pincer-type ligand (1+) are …

A geometrically constrained phosphenium cation in bis (pyrrolyl) pyridine based NNN pincer
type ligand (1+) was synthesized, isolated and its preliminary reactivity was studied with …

Delivering metallomimetic reactivity from simple p-block compounds is highly desirable in
the search to replace expensive, scarce precious metals by cheap and abundant elements …

A geometrically constrained phosphine bearing a tridentate NNS pincer ligand is reported.
The effect of the geometric constraint on the electronic structure was probed by theoretical …

Geometrical constriction of main group elements leading to a change in the reactivity of
these main group centers has recently become an important tool in main group chemistry. A …

Geometric deformation in main group compounds can be used to elicit unique properties
including strong Lewis acidity. Here we report on a family of planar bismuth (III) complexes …
