Starting out from dipotassium 1,5-oligosiloxanylene diide 2, a 3,7,10-trioxa-octasilabicyclo[3.3.3]undecane was prepared, which represents the third known example of this cage structure type. Reaction of 1,3-dichlorotetramethyldisiloxane with 1,1&rsq...

The reactivity of the racemic N-heterocyclic stannylene [{MeHCN(^tBu)}Sn] (1) with the chalcogenide elements O₂, S, Se, and Te has been investigated. In the case of the reaction of 1 with molecular oxygen, the cyclic tristannoxane complex [{MeHCN(^tBu)...

An unusual series of germylenes and stannylenes stabilized by new tetradentate bis(amidine) ligands RNC(R′)N-linker-NC(R′)NR with a rigid naphthalene backbone has been prepared by protonolysis reaction of Lappert’s metallylenes [M(H...

A new series of tin(II) complexes (1, 2, 4, and 5) were successfully synthesized by employing hydroxy functionalized pyridine ligands, specifically 2-hydroxypyridine (hpH), 8-hydroxyquinoline (hqH), and 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline (hbqH) as stabilizi...

The regioselective C-2-O-acrylation and metacrylation of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside and methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-galactopyranosidethrough their corresponding organotin intermediates have been studied. Regioselectivitywas achived...

Molecules containing catenated heavy group 14 atoms are known to exhibit the interesting property of σ-bond electron delocalization. While this is well studied for oligo- and polysilanes the current paper addresses the UV-absorption properties of sma...

Heavier element analogues of a ketone, a C=O double-bond compound, have been fascinating compounds from the viewpoint of main-group element chemistry because of their unique structural features and reactivity as compared with those of a ketone, which...

Syntheses of heavier Group 14 analogues of “Arduengo-type” N-heterocyclic carbene majorly involved the use of conventional alkali metal-based reducing agents under harsh reaction conditions. The accompanied reductant-derived metal salts a...
