Im Jahr 2025 waren aller guten Dinge der Hauptgruppenchemie drei: ein dreifach geladenes Triborattrianion, ein Molekül mit linearer Al3-Einheit, das dritte Erdalkalimetall, das Stickstoff bindet, ein ...

We report the transition-metal-like reactivity of a geometrically constrained, ambiphilic bismuth(III) trisamide. Planarization of the Bi(III) center unlocks Bi–C bond formation when reacted with mild...

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 ...

We describe the reaction between the linear iron(I/II) silylamides [FeL2]0,– (L = N{Dipp}SiMe3) and aryl azides N3R with different steric demand (R = Ph, 2-Me-C6H4 (Tol), 2,4-Me2-C6H3 (Xyl), 2,6-iPr2-...

Low-valent cadmium compounds have remained largely unexplored as electron reservoirs, with no precedent for their use in reduction or bond activation chemistry. Here, we address this gap by integratin...

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).

A series of cationic nido-clusters [E(η4-IDP)]+/2+ was prepared from the imidazolium-substituted diphosphate-diide (IPr)2C2P2 (IDP), including [1]+ (E = Ga) and [2b,c]2+ (E = Sn, Pb). As analogues of ...
