A new iminophosphorane‐based scorpionate ligand enabled the characterization of a head‐to‐head silylene dimer with unsupported Si─Si bonding, whereas the tetrylene species of Sn and Pb afforded head‐to‐tail coordination polymers in the solid state. ABSTRACT N,N‐chelating ligands disfavor element–element bonding in heavier alkene analogs of group 13 and

The Asymmetric Self‐Replicative Alkylation of N‐Arylaldimines Using Organolithium Reagents
Here, we report a new asymmetric autoinductive reaction; the addition of nBuLi to N‐arylaldimines to form chiral lithium amides. The reaction proceeds with full conversion and complete transfer of chirality, representing the first example of an asymmetric autoinductive reaction with organolithium reagents.

Open halogen‐bonded networks have been prepared from building blocks that incorporate both iodoalkyne halogen bond donors and a pyridine‐N‐oxide halogen bond acceptor. An initially‐formed 3D network containing dioxane in its channels undergoes an unprecedented transition to a 2D material when crystals are exposed to diethyl ether.

Alkali‐Metal Base Catalyzed Electrocyclization of Isoprene Derivatives
Simple and abundant alkali‐metal base catalysis in combination with Lewis basic polyamines enables the electrocyclization of isoprene‐derived trienes to cycloheptadienes under neat conditions. Mechanistic insight supported by DFT guides a scalable route to seven‐membered carbocycles which, after reduction, give saturated cycloalkanes relevant as ...

Homo‐ and heterodinuclear group 4 metallocene complexes of the type [(Cp2M)2(μ‐Me)(μ‐C2R)] (M = Ti, Zr) are active catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of aluminium‐free activators. The catalytically active species are proposed to have dinuclear character and depending on the type of activator, unique reactivity was observed ...

Photosensitizing Au(I) Catalysis With Coumarins
A Au(I) complex with a tethered coumarin fragment was synthesized and characterized by UV‐vis and emission spectroscopy. Its ability to facilitate photo‐driven cross‐coupling reactions through single‐electron and energy transfer events was evaluated. ABSTRACT Gold catalysis shows versatility in a wide range of challenging transformations, wherein light‐

Oxidative Generation and Reactivity of the Cyclopropyl Radical From a Martin Silicate
A photoredox strategy employing Martin silicates enables the oxidative generation and controlled capture of cyclopropyl radicals, including the naked one, long considered challenging intermediates. The method affords functionalized cyclopropanes through both Giese‐type additions and dual nickel/photoredox C(sp3)−C(sp2) cross‐couplings.

Azidophosphonamido Rhodium(I) and Iridium(I) Complexes: Synthesis, Properties, and Linkage Isomerism
A family of azidophosphonamido ligands and their corresponding rhodium(I) and iridium(I) complexes were synthesized. The rich reaction chemistry of these species revealed unusual linkage isomerization processes and bonding motifs. M = Rh, Ir; Mes = 2,4,6‐Me3C6H2. ABSTRACT A series of azidophosphonamido rhodium(I) and iridium(I) complexes ([iPr2P(N3R)NR]

Expanding Cyanide‐Bridged Weakly Coordinating Anions Through the Brominated Silver Salt Ag[BCNBBr]
The brominated weakly coordinating anion [μ‐(CN)(B(C6F4Br)3)2] ([BCNBBr]−), based on two B(C6F4Br)3 units bridged by cyanide, is obtained as its silver salt Ag[BCNBBr] from CH2Cl2. Ag[BCNBBr] enables oxidation and halide abstraction reactions, affording diverse [BCNBBr]− salts with oxidizing and electrophilic cations.
