    A silylene-stabilized distannavinylidene with a highly labile substituent

    Vinylidene and its heavier analogues are fundamentally important in synthetic chemistry, but their stabilization and structural characterization remains extremely challenging. Herein we describe that the reduc...

    A silylene-stabilized ditin(0) complex and its conversion to methylditin cation and distannavinylidene

    Due to their intrinsic high reactivity, isolation of tin(0) complexes remains challenging. Herein, we report the synthesis of a silylene-stabilized ditin(0) complex (2) by reduction of a silylene-supported dibrom...

    Isolation and characterization of bis(silylene)-stabilized antimony(I) and bismuth(I) cations

    Monovalent group 15 cations L2Pn + (L = σ-donor ligands, Pn = N, P, As, Sb, Bi) have attracted significant experimental and theoretical interest because of their unusual electronic structures and growing syntheti...
