Main-group elements as transition metals

TL;DR: The last quarter of the twentieth century and the beginning decade of the twenty-first witnessed spectacular discoveries in the chemistry of the heavier main-group elements, which led to new structural and bonding insights as well as a gradually increasing realization that the science more resembles that of transition-metal complexes than that of their lighter main- group congeners.

π-Bonding and the Lone Pair Effect in Multiple Bonds Involving Heavier Main Group Elements: Developments in the New Millennium

TL;DR: The key unifying feature of almost all molecules discussed in this review is that they are generally stabilized by the use of bulky substituents which block associative or various decomposition pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable Heavier Carbene Analogues

TL;DR: The early silylene research was concerned largely with comparing the chemistry of the dihalosilylenes with that of carbenes, so it might be difficult to isolate metallylenes as stable compounds under ambient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A stable silicon(0) compound with a Si=Si double bond.

TL;DR: Complementary computational studies confirm the nature of the bonding in L:(Cl)Si–Si(Cl):L and L:Si=Si:L, a carbene-stabilized diatomic silicon molecule with the Si atoms in the formal oxidation state of zero.

Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs): Recent Developments

TL;DR: The most important results published up to the end of 2013 are briefly summarized, while the majority of this Review focuses on findings reported within the last three years.

The chemistry of organic silicon compounds

TL;DR: A.R.Bassindale and P.G.Taylor as mentioned in this paper discussed the photochemistry of organosilicon compounds, A.R., B.B.Birkofer and O.Ojima.

Chemical Bonding in Higher Main Group Elements

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the XO bonds in phosphane oxides, sulfoxides, oxo acids and related compounds are better formulated as semipolar rather than as true double bonds, even if they behave in some respects like double bonds.
