Abstract: Metal-ligand cooperativity has emerged as an important strategy to tune the reactivity of transition-metal complexes for the catalysis and activation of small molecules. Studies of main-group compounds, however, are scarce. Here, we report the synthesis,… read more here.

Abstract: Herein, we describe the facile and selective one-pot synthetic route to silylene-aluminum and silylene-gallium adducts. Reduction of silylene LSiCl (L = PhC(NtBu)2) with KC8 in the presence of bulky and sterically hindered cyclopentadienyl aluminum Cp'''AlCl2… read more here.
