The quest for alternatives to cyclopentadienyl-based ligands has led to a recent renaissance
of N-centered donor ligands in various fields of organometallic and coordination chemistry …

Polytopic ligands have become ubiquitous in coordination chemistry because they grant
access to a variety of mono‐and polynuclear complexes of transition metals as well as rare …

A series of mono-and dinuclear aluminum alkyl complexes stabilized by phenolato ligands
have been prepared through alkane elimination reactions. Treatment of piperazidine …

Defined arrays of transition metal ions embedded in tailored polydentate ligand scaffolds
allow for a systematic design of their physical properties. Such molecular strings of closed …

Binuclear monomeric L1Zn2R2 (R= Me 1 and Et 2; L2Zn2R2, R= Me 3 and Et 4) and dimeric
ketodiiminate zinc alkyl complexes [L1 (H) ZnR] 2 (R= Me 5 and Et 6; L1=(Me2NC2H4NC …

Principal trends in modern organometallic chemistry of transition and main group elements

The activation and functionalization of small-molecule substrates at biological and chemical
active sites typically proceed by bond-making and bond-breaking processes that …

Bis (amidinate) ligands attached to rigid dibenzofuran and phenanthrene backbones have
been introduced into lanthanide chemistry for the first time. Depending on the ligand and on …
