As a part of our fundamental research interest on the Lewis acid chemistry exhibited by main group Lewis acids, we chose to explore the activity of electron deficient pnictogen cationic species particularly, stibonium ...
Catalytic hydroboration of carbonyl compounds using pinacolborane is an important technique for synthesizing organoboranes and for synthesizing corresponding alcohols in organic chemistry. There is always a quest of better ...
Silylenes, previously only known as fugitive and transient laboratory curiosities in the 1960s, are now one of the most laboriously investigated classes of compounds in modish chemistry. The discovery of the first ...
Pincer ligands have emerged as a handy class of ligands in the past years. When complexed with metals, these ligands form highly active catalysts which can be used in organic transformations. In this thesis, we have ...
NHC-based iron catalysts for water splitting are significantly less investigated since the development of iron-based catalysts began in 2010. Most of the catalysts reported previously were ruthenium and iridium based, but ...
C4-bound N-heterocyclic carbene (NHCs) referred to as ‘abnormal’ carbenes grabs considerable
attention among the researchers as the zwitterionic form of C-4 bound carbenes are stronger
sigma donor than classical C-2 bound ...
N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) are alkylidene counterparts of N-heterocyclic carbenes
(NHCs) where a = CR2 (R: H, alkyl, aryl) group is attached to carbene carbon. Compared to NHCs, NHOs are stronger Lewis base and softer. ...
For 160 years, carbene as a ligand has played a powerful role in organometallic
chemistry, but carbene is first considered a fugitive species. Arduengo and co workers synthesize the first stable carbene known as NHCs ...
The chemistry of N-heterocyclic silylenes (NHSis) [a higher analogue of NHC], is one of the hottest research topics in current low-valent organometallic chemistry. In this work, a hybrid N-heterocyclic silylene (NHSi) and ...
The homoleptic lanthanide-amide complexes (Ln[N(SiMe3)2]n (n = 2, 3), (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Yb and Lu) were introduced in 1973 by Bradley and co-workers. However, their catalytic potential is not well ...
The chemistry of heavier group 14 elements in their low oxidation state has gained much attention over the last decades. The higher congeners of group 14 known as tetrylenes are very much known for their amphiphilic nature ...
