While the coordination chemistry of heavier tetrylene ligands is generally well established, their effect on the electronic nature of open-shell metal centers is underexplored. This work takes steps t...

Using a reductive group elimination strategy, heavier alkyne (LEEL; E = Sn, Pb) complexes of Ni0 are accessed. In contrast to classical alkyne coordination, these systems are best described as σ-comp...

We report the high-yielding synthesis of a bis(hydridogermylene) complex of Ni0 (2). In contrast to known hydridotetrylene chemistry, this complex demonstrates a unique GeII–H/SiIV–H dehydrocoupling r...

A modular synthetic approach affords a series of cationic cobalt and manganese carbonyl half-sandwich complexes bearing onium-substituted diphosphacyclobutadienyl ligands. In this strategy, the onium....

We describe the catalyst-free Insertion of carbon monoxide (CO) into magnesium alkyl bonds, leading exclusively to enediolate compounds through C–C coupling. Computational investigations suggest a met...

The reaction of phosphine-appended (amido)(aryl)stannylenes (1) with Ni0 synthons leads to the facile formation of chelating-stannylene Ni0 complexes (2–4). Utilising the carbene-stabilised synthon IP...

Im Jahr 2025 waren aller guten Dinge der Hauptgruppenchemie drei: ein dreifach geladenes Triborattrianion, ein Molekül mit linearer Al3-Einheit, das dritte Erdalkalimetall, das Stickstoff bindet, ein ...

A nickel-silylene complex is shown to reversibly activate benzene via C–H bond activation at ambient temperature. The benzene C–H bond formally adds across the Ni–Si core to form a nickel-silyl comple...

It was a true honor to chair the honorary colloquium celebrating the remarkable career of Prof. Hubert Schmidbaur!  With over 100 attendees at Technische Universität München, the event featured inspir...

Researchers at TUM have developed a new material for solid-state batteries that conducts lithium ions over 30% faster than any previously known material.

A series of cationic nido-clusters [E(η4-IDP)]+/2+ was prepared from the imidazolium-substituted diphosphate-diide (IPr)2C2P2 (IDP), including [1]+ (E = Ga) and [2b,c]2+ (E = Sn, Pb). As analogues of ...

The synthesis of nitrogen-containing molecules through carbon–nitrogen (C–N) bond formation is critical for the discovery and preparation of medicines, agrochemicals, and materials. Here, we report th...

The Front Cover shows a naphthyl island that supports the growth of two P-trees, with a family of tigers moving from tree to tree. The tigers move towards the P-tree full of purple fruit, representin...

Dr. Terrance Hadlington (TUM Junior Fellow and ERC Starting Grant recipient) and co-authors report on a new design concept for cooperative catalysis in Chem (Cell Press).
