When treated with dialkyl ethers, [(BDI)Ca-μ-H-Zn(t-Bu)2(η6-C7H8)] (BDI = HC{C(Me)NDipp}2 initiates a sequence of twofold ether dealkylation and oxide sequestration as tert-butoxide in a process pred...

Organic radicals play pivotal roles in chemistry, biology, and materials science. Although typically short-lived and highly reactive, considerable efforts have been devoted to stabilizing open-shell m...

Reactions of the doubly reduced distannynes, [Ar′SnSnAr′M2], (Ar′ = C6H3-2,6-Dipp; M ═ ′Li, Na, K), with the successively heavier alkali metals (M) result in reduction of M, which is proposed to occu...

The β-diketiminato calcium hydride, [(BDI)CaH]2 (BDI = HC{(Me)CNDipp}2, where Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3), reacts with [Zn{N(SiMe3)2}2] and [Zn(TMP)2] (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide) to provide labile...
