Synthesis, Characterization and Reactivity of Ylidyne and ?-Ylido Complexes Supported by Scorpionato Ligands

This book explores the development of the first open-shell heavier tetrylidyne complexes featuring a tetrel-centered unpaired electron, and unprecedented metallatetrylidynes containing a multiply-bonded, linear-coordinated single heavier tetrel atom embedded between two metal centers.

The chemistry of compounds featuring triple bonds of the heavier Group-14 elements Si–Pb with transition metals is...
