TL;DR: Several tetraalkylammonium pentaorganosilicates, derived from 9,9-spirobi(9H, 9-silafluorene) were prepared from the corresponding lithium silicates and isolated and characterized as storable high melting solids.

TL;DR: The preparation of a series of new macrocyclic carbodiazasilane molecules functionalized with the monoanionic [2,6-(CH2NMe2)2C6H3](-)[triple bond]N,C,N-pincer ligand has been accomplished, showing higher reaction rates for the dendritic structure than for the corresponding mononuclear systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel μ-oxo diiron(III) complex is proposed for the selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols in the presence of H2O2 and a remarkable increase in reaction rate is achieved by addition of 1 eq.

TL;DR: The transient bicyclo[1.1.0]tetraphosphabutane anion, generated from white phosphorus (P4) and Mes*Li (Mes*=2,4,6-tBu3C6H2), can be trapped by BPh3 in THF and enables a simple, stepwise functionalization of white phosphorus.

TL;DR: The design and preparation of an asymmetrically substituted and bulky phosphinine was achieved by introducing sterically demanding substituents into specific positions of a rigid phosphorus-heterocyclic framework and shows axial chirality and a sufficiently high energy barrier for internal rotation to prevent enantiomerization.
