The influence of various p-block element motifs on the photophysical properties of conjugated inorganic-organic hybrid polymers is surveyed regarding applications in organic electronics. Recent advan...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the simplest and most fundamental molecules that has fascinated chemists for decades. Early-on, chemists have recognized and exploited its favorable properties as a key ...

The simplistic methylbismuth dication has been captured only by the aid of monodentate tetrahydrofuran (thf) ligands, [BiMe(thf)5]2+. The hexacoordinate species shows a very unusual pentagonal pyrami...

Despite its notorious reputation as a war gas, phosgene (COCl2${\rm COCl}_2$) is one of the most important intermediate chemicals in industry. In this study, we present the crystal structures of two ....

Bismuth radical chemistry has attracted increased interest in recent years. Here, we report a series of bismuth–manganese complexes that catalyze the intramolecular redox-neutral coupling of alkyl iod...

A nickel-silylene complex is shown to reversibly activate benzene via C–H bond activation at ambient temperature. The benzene C–H bond formally adds across the Ni–Si core to form a nickel-silyl comple...

A series of cationic main-group complexes was obtained using the neutral, zwitterionic ligand IDP. The Lewis acidity of these complexes is explored by catalytic hydrophosphinations and halide additio...

The reactivity of the kinetically stabilized stannylene (MesTer)2Sn (1) (MesTer = –C6H3-2,6-(2,4,6-Me3-C6H2)2) toward N2O is revisited, yielding the terminal tin(IV) hydroxide 2 via formal intramolecular C(sp3)–H activation of a putative terminal stannanone intermediate. By switching to Eind ligation (Eind = 1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octaethyl-s-hydrindacen-4-yl) at the tin center, the synthesis and characterization of the crystalline lithium salt (Eind)Li(THF)2 (3) is reported, serving as a straightforward precursor for the clean generation of the corresponding stannylene (Eind)2Sn (4). Compound 4 can be further cleanly converted into the heteroleptic Eind/halide stannylene (Eind)SnCl (6). Both 4 and 6 serve as suitable precursors for the synthesis of the heteroleptic s-hydrindacene-/amido-substituted stannylene (Eind)Sn{N(SiMe3)2} (5).

We present the synthesis and characterization of the parent isolable monomeric triplet titanocene complex, stabilized by the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) IMe4. Investigated by SQUID magnetometry and…

Well-defined cationic bismuth compounds have been exposed to simple α-olefins, including the benchmark substrate ethylene. Unprecedented and facile insertion, extrusion, and olefin exchange scenarios....
