Strong Tetrel Bonds: Theoretical Aspects and Experimental Evidence
In recent years, noncovalent interactions involving group-14 elements of the periodic table acting as a Lewis acid center (or tetrel-bonding interactions) have attracted considerable attention due to their potential applications in supramolecular ...

A novel photocatalytic strategy is presented for intermolecular amidative dual functionalization of alkenes using N‐benzoyloxyamides as bifunctional N─O reagents. The method enables efficient olefin 1,2‐amidooxygenation and significantly extends its reactivity to encompass amidoazidation, diamination, and formal anti‐Markovnikov hydroamidation.

Delocalized hypervalent silyl radical supported by amidinate and imino substituents [PDF]
The reaction of the amidinato silylsilylene with a functionalized diaminochlorosilyl substituent [LSiSi(Cl){(NtBu)2C(H)Ph}] (1, L = PhC(NtBu)2) with ArN=C=NAr (Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) in toluene afforded the delo-calized hypervalent silyl radical [LSi(-CNAr ...

The sequential functionalization of novel BCP‐substituted ethynylbenziodoxolone (EBX) reagents into heteroatom‐ and BCP‐substituted alkenes is described. The addition of N, O, and S nucleophiles on the EBXs was stereoselective and generated heteroatomic Z‐vinylbenziodoxolone (VBX) reagents.

Structural Conformers of (1,3-Dithiol-2-ylidene)ethanethioamides: The Balance Between Thioamide Rotation and Preservation of Classical Sulfur-Sulfur Hypervalent Bonds [PDF]
The reaction of N-(2-phthalimidoethyl)-N-alkylisopropylamines and S2Cl2 gave 4-N-(2-phthalimidoethyl)-N-alkylamino-5-chloro-1,2-dithiol-3-thiones that quantitatively cycloadded to dimethyl or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate to give stable thioacid ...

An Atomically Dispersed Photocatalyst for Undirected para‐Selective C─H Bond Functionalizations
This study presents an atomically dispersed recyclable heterogeneous photocatalytic method for para‐selective trifluoromethylation of electron‐deficient arenes without directing groups. Unlike previous substrate‐dependent approaches, this recyclable, atomically dispersed photocatalyst enables scalable synthesis of bioactive trifluoromethylated ...

An Electrochemical Study of Key Catalytically Active Gold Complexes
A systematic electrochemical investigation of Au(I) complexes sheds light on how ligand environments control gold oxidizability. Through cyclic voltammetry and density functional theory (DFT) analysis, key trends are established for phosphine, N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC), and hemilabile P^N ligands, offering valuable insights into the design of ...

π‐Electron Donation at the Sulfoximidoyl Nitrogen Atom
Density functional theory (DFT)‐based evidence for a strong positive mesomeric effect (+M‐effect) of the sulfoximidoyl group at N is presented. Our findings contrast with common characterizations of the sulfoximidoyl group as an exclusively electron‐withdrawing moiety.
