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 ...
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 ...
