Journal ArticleDOI
NHCs in Main Group Chemistry.
Vitaly Nesterov,Dominik Reiter,Prasenjit Bag,Philipp Frisch,Richard Holzner,Amelie Porzelt,Shigeyoshi Inoue +6 more
TL;DR: A general overview of the chemistry of low-coordinate main group element compounds, basic synthetic approaches, key features of NHC-main group element adducts, and might be useful for the broad research community are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stable two-coordinate acyclic silylene.
Andrey V. Protchenko,Krishna Hassomal Birjkumar,Deepak Dange,Andrew D. Schwarz,Dragoslav Vidovic,Cameron Jones,Nikolas Kaltsoyannis,Philip Mountford,Simon Aldridge +8 more
TL;DR: Simple two-coordinate acyclic silylene species, SiR(2), can be synthesized which is stable in the solid state up to 130 °C and undergoes facile oxidative addition reactions with dihydrogen and with alkyl C-H bonds, thus demonstrating fundamental modes of reactivity more characteristic of transition metal systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zwitterionic and Donor-Stabilized N-Heterocyclic Silylenes (NHSis) for Metal-Free Activation of Small Molecules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe recent progress in the synthesis and structural characterization of isolable N-heterocyclic silylenes and their fascinating reactivities with respect to an emergent topic in main-group chemistry: metal-free small-molecule activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Road Travelled: After Main‐Group Elements as Transition Metals
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the last 10 years since Power's seminal review, and the progress made for catalytic application is presented, where the use of low oxidation state and/or low coordinate group 13 and 14 complexes towards small molecule activation (oxidative addition step in a redox based cycle) is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
London dispersion forces in sterically crowded inorganic and organometallic molecules
David J. Liptrot,Philip P. Power +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the influence of attractive dispersion forces on physical and chemical properties of organometallic and inorganic molecules can be found in this article, which highlights how structure and reactivity of inorganic and organic molecules are greatly affected by the cumulative effect of this force.

Heterocyclic Carbenes: Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry
TL;DR: New methods for the synthesis of complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands such as the oxidative addition or the metal atom template controlled cyclized isocyanides have been developed recently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversible, Metal-Free Hydrogen Activation
TL;DR: The compound (C6H2Me3)2PH(C 6F4)BH(C6F5)2 (Me, methyl), which is derived through an unusual reaction involving dimesitylphosphine substitution at a para carbon of tris(pentafluorophenyl) borane, cleanly loses H2 at temperatures above 100°C.

Catalytic Hydrogenation of Carbon Dioxide Using Ir(III)-Pincer Complexes
TL;DR: Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide in aqueous potassium hydroxide was performed using a newly synthesized isopropyl-substituted PNP-pincer iridium trihydride complex as a catalyst, resulting in potassium formate obtaining the highest values reported to date.
