Abstract
We describe the synthesis, solid state and electronic structures of a series of tunable five-membered cationic and charge-neutral inorganic heterocycles featuring a P3CN core. 1-Aza-2,3,4-triphospholenium cations [(PR)3N(H)CR']+, [1R]+ (R' = Me, Ph, 4-MeOC6H4, 4-CF3C6H4) were formed as triflate salts by the formal [3 + 2]-cyclisation reactions of strained cyclic triphosphanes (PR)3 (R = t Bu, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (Mes), 2,6- i Pr2C6H3 (Dipp), 2,4,6- i Pr3C6H2 (Tipp)) with nitriles R'CN in the presence of triflic acid. The corresponding neutral free bases (PR)3NCR' (2R) were readily obtained by subsequent deprotonation with NEt3. The P3CN cores in 2R show an envelope conformation typical for cyclopentenes and present as yellow to orange compounds in the solid state as well as in solution depending on both substituents R and R' in (PR)3NCR'. The P3CN cores in [1R]+ show a significant deviation from planarity with increasing steric bulk of the R groups at phosphorus, which results in a decrease in the HOMO-LUMO gap and distinct low-energy UV-Visible absorption bands. This allows access to colours spanning red, blue, indigo, and magenta. TD-DFT calculations provide valuable insight into this phenomenon and indicate an intramolecular charge-transfer from the HOMO located on the P3 framework to the N[double bond, length as m-dash]C-R'-based LUMO in the cationic species. The cations [1R]+ represent rare examples of phosphorus-rich heterocycles with tunable colour, which can be incorporated into polymers by post-polymerization modification to afford coloured polymers, which demonstrate utility as both proton and ammonia sensors.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, the low-valent compounds of group-14 elements have received significant attention in several fields of chemistry owing to their unique electronic properties. The low-valent group-14 species include tetrylenes, tetryliumylidene, tetrylones, dimetallenes and dimetallynes. These low-valent group-14 species have shown applications in various areas such as organic transformations (hydroboration, cyanosilylation, N-functionalisation of amines, and hydroamination), small molecule activation (e.g. P4, As4, CO2, CO, H2, alkene, and alkyne) and materials. This review presents an in-depth discussion on low-valent group-14 species-catalyzed reactions, including polymerization of rac-lactide, L-lactide, DL-lactide, and caprolactone, followed by their photophysical properties (phosphorescence and fluorescence), thin film deposition (atomic layer deposition and vapor phase deposition), and medicinal applications. This review concisely summarizes current developments of low-valent heavier group-14 compounds, covering synthetic methodologies, structural aspects, and their applications in various fields of chemistry. Finally, their opportunities and challenges are examined and emphasized.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and structure of two bis(germanocenes) and a bis(stannocene), obtained by the reaction of unsymmetric ansa bis(cyclopentadienyl) ligands with germanium and tin dichloride. DFT calculations show that the formation of these bis(tetrelocenes) is energetically favoured over the formation of the corresponding [1]tetrelocenophanes. In the crystal structure authenticated structural motif, the two tetrel(II) centers are forced into close proximity to each other, resulting in weak donor-acceptor interactions, according to Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) and Atoms in Molecules (AIM) analyses.

Abstract
The reaction of bisdicyclohexylphosphinoethane (dcpe) and the subvalent MI sources [MI (PhF)2 ][pf] (M=Ga+ , In+ ; [pf]- =[Al(ORF )4 ]- ; RF =C(CF3 )3 ) yielded the salts [{M(dcpe)}2 ][pf]2 , containing the first dicationic, trans-bent digallene and diindene structures reported so far. The non-classical MI ⇆MI double bonds are surprisingly short and display a ditetrylene-like structure. The bonding situation was extensively analyzed by quantum chemical calculations, QTAIM (Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules) and EDA-NOCV (Energy Decomposition Analysis with the combination of Natural Orbitals for Chemical Valence) analyses and is compared to that in the isoelectronic and isostructural, but neutral digermenes and distannenes. The dissolved [{Ga(dcpe)}2 ]2+ ([pf]- )2 readily reacts with 1-hexene, cyclooctyne, diphenyldisulfide, diphenylphosphine and under mild conditions at room temperature. This reactivity is analyzed and rationalized.

Abstract
There have been remarkable advances in the syntheses and applications of groups 13 and 14 homonuclear ethene analogues. However, successes are largely limited to aryl- and/or silyl-substituted species. Analogues bearing two or more heteroatoms are still scarce. In this work, the block-localized wavefunction (BLW) method at the density functional theory (DFT) level was employed to study dialumene and disilene bearing two amino substituents whose optimal geometries exhibit significantly stretched central M=M (M=Al or Si) double bonds compared with aryl- and/or silyl-substituted species. Computational analyses showed that the repulsion between the lone electron pairs of amino substituents and M=M π bond plays a critical role in the elongation of the M=M bonds. Evidently, replacing the substituent groups -NH2 with -BH2 can enhance the planarity and shorten the central double bonds due to the absence of lone pair electrons in BH2 .

Abstract
The classic pnictogen dichotomy stands for the great contrast between triply bonding very stable N2 molecules and its heavier congeners, which appear as dimers or oligomers. A banner example involves phosphorus as it occurs in nature as P4 instead of P2 , given its weak π-bonds or strong σ-bonds. The P2 synthetic value has brought Lewis bases and metal coordination stabilization strategies. Herein, we discuss the unrealized encapsulation alternative using the well-known fullerenes' capability to form endohedral and stabilize otherwise unstable molecules. We chose the most stable fullerene structures from Cn (n = 50, 60, 70, 80) and experimentally relevant from Cn (n = 90 and 100) to computationally study the thermodynamics and the geometrical consequences of encapsulating P2 inside the fullerene cages. Given the size differences between P2 and P4 , we show that the fullerenes C70 -C100 are suitable cages to side exclude P4 and host only one molecule of P2 with an intact triple bond. The thermodynamic analysis indicates that the process is favorable, overcoming the dimerization energy. Additionally, we have evaluated the host-guest interaction to explain the origins of their stability using energy decomposition analysis.

Abstract
The BP unsaturated unit is a very attractive functional group as it provides novel reactivity and unique physical properties. Nonetheless, applications remain limited so far due to the bulky nature of B/P‐protecting groups, required to prevent oligomerization. Herein, we report the synthesis and isolation of a N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐stabilized phosphaborene, bearing a trimethylsilyl (TMS) functionality at the P‐terminal, as a room‐temperature‐stable crystalline solid accessible via facile NHC‐induced trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) elimination from its phosphinoborane precursor. This phosphaborene compound, bearing a genuine B=P bond, exhibits a remarkable ability for undergoing P‐centre metathesis reactions, which allows the isolation of a series of unprecedented phosphaborenes. X‐ray crystallographic analysis, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and DFT calculations provide insights into the B=P bonding situation.

Abstract
Secondary Li-ion batteries have enabled a world of portable electronics and electrification of personal and commercial transportation. However, the charge storage capacity of conventional intercalation cathodes is reaching the theoretical limit set by the stoichiometry of Li in the fully lithiated structure. Increasing the Li:transition metal ratio and consequently involving structural anions in the charge compensation, a mechanism termed anion redox, is a viable method to improve storage capacities. Although anion redox has recently become the front-runner as a next-generation storage mechanism, the concept has been around for quite some time. In this perspective, we explore the contribution of anions in charge compensation mechanisms ranging from intercalation to conversion and the hybrid mechanisms between. We focus our attention on the redox of S because the voltage required to reach S redox lies within the electrolyte stability window, which removes the convoluting factors caused by the side reactions that plague the oxides. We highlight examples of S redox in cathode materials exhibiting varying degrees of anion involvement with a particular focus on the structural effects. We call attention to those with intermediate anion contribution to redox and the hybrid intercalation- and conversion-type structural mechanism at play that takes advantage of the positives of both mechanistic types to increase storage capacity while maintaining good reversibility. The hybrid mechanisms often invoke the formation of persulfides, and so a survey of binary and ternary materials containing persulfide moieties is presented to provide context for materials that show thermodynamically stable persulfide moieties.

Abstract
Multiply-bonded main group metal compounds are of interest as a new class of reactive species able to activate and functionalize a wide range of substrates. The aluminium sulfido compound K[Al(NONDipp)(S)] (NONDipp = [O(SiMe2NDipp)2]2-, Dipp = 2,6-iPr2C6H3), completing the series of [Al(NONDipp)(E)]- anions containing Al-E{16} multiple bonds (E{16} = O, S, Se, Te), was accessed via desulfurisation of K[Al(NONDipp)(S4)] using triphenylphosphane. The crystal structure showed a tetrameric aggregate joined by multiple K⋯S and K⋯π(arene) interactions that were disrupted by the addition of 2.2.2-cryptand to form the separated ion pair, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][Al(NONDipp)(S)]. Analysis of the anion using density functional theory (DFT) confirmed multiple-bond character in the Al-S group. The reaction of the sulfido and selenido anions K[Al(NONDipp)(E)] (E = S, Se) with CO2 afforded K[Al(NONDipp)(κ2 E,O-EC{O}O)] containing the thio- and seleno-carbonate groups respectively, consistent with a [2 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction and C-E bond formation. An analogous cycloaddition reaction took place with benzophenone affording compounds containing the diphenylsulfido- and diphenylselenido-methanolate ligands, [κ2 E,O-EC{O}Ph2]2-. In contrast, when K[Al(NONDipp)(E)] (E = S, Se) was reacted with benzaldehyde, two equivalents of substrate were incorporated into the product accompanied by formation of a second C-E bond and complete cleavage of the Al-E{16} bonds. The products contained the hitherto unknown κ2 O,O-thio- and κ2 O,O-seleno-bis(phenylmethanolate) ligands, which were exclusively isolated as the cis-stereoisomers. The mechanisms of these cycloaddition reactions were investigated using DFT methods.

Abstract
The generation of diphosphorus molecules P2 under mild conditions in solution is a useful strategy to generate diphosphines via [4+2] cycloadditions. We recently described the release of P2 units from the nickel butterfly complex [{(IMes)Ni(CO)}2(μ2,η2:η2-P2)] (IMes=1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) upon addition of CO gas. Herein, we developed an alternative protocol for the same process using heterocumulenes. In addition to formation of P4 (the dimerisation product of P2), the reactions afford nickel complexes of novel pincer-type ligands. Aryl isothiocyanates undergo a trimerisation within the coordination sphere of nickel and afford square planar nickel complexes with S-C-S pincer-ligand frameworks. Carbon disulfide coordinates to the [(IMes)Ni]-fragment in an η2-fashion, affording a dinuclear complex. Similar products are formed when the N-heterocyclic carbene nickel(0) complex [(IMes)Ni(vtms)2] is used as a precursor (vtms=vinyltrimethylsilane).

Abstract
The metallostannylene Cp*(iPr2MeP)(H)2Fe-SnDMP (1; Cp* = η5-C5Me5; DMP = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl), formed by hydrogen migration in a putative Cp*(iPr2MeP)HFe[Sn(H)DMP] intermediate, serves as a robust platform for exploration of transition-metal main-group element bonding and reactivity. Upon one-electron oxidation, 1 expels H2 to generate the coordinatively unsaturated [Cp*(iPr2MeP)Fe═SnDMP][B(C6F5)4] (3), which possesses a highly polarized Fe-Sn multiple bond that involves interaction of the tin lone pair with iron. Evidence from EPR and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, along with DFT studies, shows that 3 is primarily an iron-based radical with charge localization at tin. Upon reduction of 3, C-H bond activation of the phosphine ligand was observed to produce Cp*HFe(κ2-(P,Sn)═Sn(DMP)CH2CHMePMeiPr) (5). Complex 5 was also accessed via thermolysis of 1, and kinetics studies of this thermolytic pathway indicate that the reductive elimination of H2 from 1 to produce a stannylyne intermediate, Cp*(iPr2MeP)Fe[SnDMP] (A), is likely rate-determining. Evidence indicates that the production of 5 proceeds through a concerted C-H bond activation. DFT investigations suggest that the transition state for this transformation involves C-H cleavage across the Fe-Sn bond and that a related transition state where C-H bond activation occurs exclusively at the tin center is disfavored, illustrating an effect of iron-tin cooperativity in this system.

Abstract
We report on the reactivity of magnesium(I) dimers, [Mg(nacnac)]2 (nacnac = HC[C(Me)N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)]2 ([DippLMg]2) and HC[C(Me)N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)]2 ([MesLMg]2)), towards the phosphaalkyne tBuCP. The steric profile of the magnesium(I) dimer results in selectivity for different products. The larger diisopropylphenyl derivative yields exclusively the monomeric dimagnesiated phosphaalkene [DippLMg]PC(tBu)([DippLMg]) (1), while the mesityl derivative facilitates reductive coupling of two phosphaalkyne equivalents to give access to the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadienediide [MesLMg]2[(tBu)2C2P2](2). The reactivity differs in coordinating solvents such as THF, which allowed for the observation of C-P coupled products. For sake of comparison, reactions of magnesium(I) compounds with Me3SiCN were carried out. In contrast to the reactions involving tBuCP, these afforded 1,3-diazabutadienediyl complexes via reductive coupling and silyl migration processes.

Abstract
A novel non‐innocent ligand class, namely cationic single‐centre ambiphiles, is reported in the phosphine‐functionalised cationic tetrylene Ni0 complexes, [PhRDippENi(PPh3)3]+ (4 a/b (Ge) and 5 (Sn); PhRDipp={[Ph2PCH2SiR2](Dipp)N}−; R=Ph, iPr; Dipp=2,6‐iPr2C6H3). The inherent electronic nature of low‐coordinate tetryliumylidenes, combined with the geometrically constrained [N−E−Ni] bending angle enforced by the chelating phosphine arm in these complexes, leads to strongly electrophilic EII centres which readily bind nucleophiles, reversibly in the case of NH3. Further, the GeII centre in 4 a/b readily abstracts the fluoride ion from [SbF6]− to form the fluoro‐germylene complex PhRDippGe(F)Ni(PPh3)39, despite this GeII centre simultaneously being a σ‐donating ligand towards Ni0. Alongside the observed catalytic ability of 4 and 5 in the hydrosilylation of alkynes and alkenes, this forms an exciting introduction to a multi‐talented ligand class in cationic single‐centre ambiphiles.

Abstract
![]()
While the metathesis
reaction between alkynes and thiocarbonyl
compounds has been thoroughly studied, the reactivity of alkynes with
isoelectronic main group R2E=S compounds is rarely reported
and unknown for [R2P=S]+ analogues. We show
that thiophosphonium ions, which are the isoelectronic phosphorus
congeners to thiocarbonyl compounds, undergo [2 + 2]-cycloaddition
reactions with different alkynes to generate 1,2-thiaphosphete ions.
The four-membered ring species are in an equilibrium state with the
corresponding P=C–C=S heterodiene structure and thus undergo
hetero-Diels–Alder reactions with acetonitrile. Heteroatom
and substituent effects on the energy profile of the 1,2-thiaphosphete
formation were elucidated by means of quantum chemical methods. We show that thiophosphonium ions, which

Abstract
Two novel disilenes of type ABSi[double bond, length as m-dash]SiAB bearing N-heterocyclic imino (A = NItBu) and trialkylsilyl (B = SitBu31, B = SitBu2Me 2) groups are reported. The reduced steric demand in 2 results in a highly stable, nonetheless flexible system, wherefore (E/Z) isomerization is observed from room temperature up to 90 °C. The proposed isomerization mechanism proceeds via monomeric silylenes in line with experimental results. Despite enhanced stability, disilene 2 retains high reactivity in the activation of small molecules, including H2. The rare example of a disilene radical cation 7 is isolated and shows reversible redox behavior. White phosphorous (P4) selectively reacts with 2 to give the unique cage-compound 8. Selective thermal rearrangement of 2 at higher temperatures yields the A2Si[double bond, length as m-dash]SiB2-type disilene 9 (A = NItBu, B = SitBu2Me), which bears characteristics of a zwitterionic and a dative central Si-Si bond. The proposed mechanism proceeds via an initial NHI migration followed by silyl migration.

Abstract
The topic of heavier main group compounds possessing multiple bonds is the subject of momentous interest in modern organometallic chemistry. Importantly, there is an excitement involving the discovery of unprecedented compounds with unique bonding modes. The research in this area is still expanding, particularly the reactivity aspects of these compounds. This article aims to describe the overall developments reported on the stable derivatives of silicon and germanium involved in multiple bond formation with other group 13, and heavier groups 14, 15, and 16 elements. The synthetic strategies, structural features, and their reactivity towards different nucleophiles, unsaturated organic substrates, and in small molecule activation are discussed. Further, their physical and chemical properties are described based on their spectroscopic and theoretical studies.

Abstract
The silene molecule (H2 SiCH2 ; X1 A1 ) has been synthesized under single collision conditions via the bimolecular gas phase reaction of ground state methylidyne radicals (CH) with silane (SiH4 ). Exploiting crossed molecular beams experiments augmented by high-level electronic structure calculations, the elementary reaction commenced on the doublet surface through a barrierless insertion of the methylidyne radical into a silicon-hydrogen bond forming the silylmethyl (CH2 SiH3 ; X2 A') complex followed by hydrogen migration to the methylsilyl radical (SiH2 CH3 ; X2 A'). Both silylmethyl and methylsilyl intermediates undergo unimolecular hydrogen loss to silene (H2 SiCH2 ; X1 A1 ). The exploration of the elementary reaction of methylidyne with silane delivers a unique view at the widely uncharted reaction dynamics and isomerization processes of the carbon-silicon system in the gas phase, which are noticeably different from those of the isovalent carbon system thus contributing to our knowledge on carbon silicon bond couplings at the molecular level.

Abstract
Since the prediction of the existence of metallabenzenes in 1979, metallaaromatic chemistry has developed rapidly, due to its importance in both experimental and theoretical fields. Now six major types of metallaromatic compounds, metallabenzenes, metallabenzynes, heterometallaaromatics, dianion metalloles, metallapentalenes and metallapentalynes (also termed carbolongs), and spiro metalloles, have been reported and extensively studied. Their parent organic analogues may be aromatic, non-aromatic, or even anti-aromatic. These unique systems not only enrich the large family of aromatics, but they also broaden our understanding and extend the concept of aromaticity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of metallaaromatic chemistry. We have focused on not only the six major classes of metallaaromatics, including the main-group-metal-based metallaaromatics, but also other types, such as metallacyclobutadienes and metallacyclopropenes. The structures, synthetic methods, and reactivities are described, their applications are covered, and the challenges and future prospects of the area are discussed. The criteria commonly used to judge the aromaticity of metallaaromatics are presented.

Abstract
The methylgermylene species (HGeCH3 ; X1 A') has been synthesized via the bimolecular gas phase reaction of ground state methylidyne radicals (CH) with germane (GeH4 ) under single collision conditions in crossed molecular beams experiments. Augmented by electronic structure calculations, this elementary reaction was found to proceed through barrierless insertion of the methylidyne radical in one of the four germanium-hydrogen bonds on the doublet potential energy surface yielding the germylmethyl (CH2 GeH3 ; X2 A') collision complex. This insertion is followed by a hydrogen shift from germanium to carbon and unimolecular decomposition of the methylgermyl (GeH2 CH3 ; X2 A') intermediate by atomic hydrogen elimination leading to singlet methylgermylene (HGeCH3 ; X1 A'). Our investigation provides a glimpse at the largely unknown reaction dynamics and isomerization processes of the carbon-germanium system, which are quite distinct from those of the isovalent carbon system thus providing insights into the intriguing chemical bonding of organo germanium species on the most fundamental, microscopic level.

Abstract
Since the first heavy alkene analogues of germanium and tin were isolated in 1976, followed by West's disilene in 1981, the chemistry of stable group 14 dimetallenes and dimetallynes has advanced immensely. Recent developments in this field veered the focus from the isolation of novel bonding motifs to mimicking transition metals in their ability to activate small molecules and perform catalysis. The potential of these homonuclear multiply bonded compounds has been demonstrated numerous times in the activation of H2, NH3, CO2 and other small molecules. Hereby, the strong relationship between structure and reactivity warrants close attention towards rational ligand design. This minireview provides an overview on recent developments in regard to bond activation with group 14 dimetallenes and dimetallynes with the perspective of potential catalytic applications of these compounds.

Abstract
The molecular energy of Si2H2 geometric structures increases in the order dibridged < trans-bent < linear, in contrast to acetylene, C2H2, for which the linear structure is the global minimum. In this study, the intra-atomic (antibonding) and bonding contributions to the total molecular energy of these valence isoelectronic molecules are computed by expressing the density matrices of the full valence space multiconfiguration self-consistent field wave function in terms of quasi-atomic orbitals. The analysis shows that the intra-atomic contributions to the molecular energy become less favorable in the order dibridged → trans-bent → linear for both C2H2 and Si2H2. By contrast, the inter-atomic bonding contributions become energetically more favorable in that order for both C2H2 and Si2H2. The two systems differ as follows. For Si2H2, the antibonding intra-atomic energy changes that occur when the dibridged molecule reconstructs into the trans-bent and linear structures prevail over the interatomic interactions that induce bond formation. In contrast, for C2H2, the interatomic interactions that create bonds prevail over the intra-atomic energy changes that occur when the dibridged molecule reconstructs into the trans-bent and linear structures. The intra-atomic energy changes that occur in these systems are related to the hybridization of the heavy atoms in an analogous manner to the hybridization of C in CH4 from (2s)2(2p)2 to sp3 hybrid orbitals.

Abstract
Heterodiatomic multiple bonds have never been observed within Group 13. Herein, we disclose a method that generates [(CAAC)PhB=AlCp3t ] (1), a complex featuring π bonding between boron and aluminum through the association of singlet fragments. We present the properties of this multiple bond as well as the reactivity of the complex with carbon dioxide, which yields a boron CO complex via an unusual metathesis reaction.

Abstract
In our efforts to prepare a diarsenic allotrope supported by two cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) ligands we stumbled upon the synthesis of the first carbene-supported chloroarsinidene 3, which has been fully characterized by a combination of NMR spectroscopic and XRD methods. Although further reduction of 3 was not possible, we found that addition of a second equivalent of CAAC in refluxing toluene afforded the first example of a crystallographically characterized arsamethine cyanine dye (4). The arsenic(I) dye is structurally similar to phosphorus analogues, and contains an arsenide anion with two stereochemically active lone pairs supported by two iminium ligands. The UV/Visible spectrum and redox chemistry of 4 were also explored. Upon reduction with one equivalent of KC8 , 3 is reduced to the originally targeted CAAC2 As2 allotrope 6, whereas oxidation provides access to the first example of an arsenic(II) radical dication (5).

Abstract
The chemistry of group 14 element(ii) hydride complexes has rapidly expanded since the first stable example of such a compound was reported in 2000. Since that time it has become apparent that these systems display remarkable reactivity patterns, in some cases mimicking those of late transition-metal (TM) hydride compounds. This is especially so for the hydroelementation of unsaturated organic substrates. Recently, this aspect of their reactivity has been extended to the use of group 14 element(ii) hydrides as efficient, "TM-like" catalysts in organic synthesis. This review will detail how the chemistry of these hydride compounds has advanced since their early development. Throughout, there is a focus on the importance of ligand effects in these systems, and how ligand design can greatly modify a coordinated complex's electronic structure, reactivity, and catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
The use of bulky aryl(silyl)amides (R) as substituents for the stabilisation of phospha-germynes and phospha-stannynes (R-Ge≡P and R-Sn≡P, respectively) is described. Such species can be transiently generated by photolysis of the phosphaketene precursors (RE(PCO); E=Ge, Sn). Utilisation of bulky amides R1 and R2 (R1 =Ar**NSi(OtBu)3 , where Ar**=2,6-bis[bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)methyl]-4-methylphenyl; R2 =Ar***NSi(iPr)3 , where Ar***=2,6-bis[bis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)methyl]-4-methylphenyl) facilitates the formation of diphosphene-type dimers, [(RGe)P]2 and [(RSn)P]2 . In an effort to circumvent dimerisation, the bulkier R3 substituent (R3 =Ar***NSi(4-tert-butylphenyl)3 ) was employed in an analogous series of experiments. This affords cyclic germylenes and stannylenes due to insertion of the terminal phosphide into Si-C bonds of the R3 substituent, which in case of the stannylene could act as a trap for another R3 -Sn≡P moiety. All attempts to isolate terminal phosphide species were unsuccessful due to the reactivity of such compounds towards the organic periphery of the bulky amides, highlighting the limitations of highly sterically demanding functionalities.

Abstract
Facile oxygenation of the acyclic amido-chlorosilylene bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) Ni0 complex [{N(Dipp)(SiMe3 )ClSi:→Ni(NHC)2 ] (1; Dipp=2,6-i Pr2 C6 H4 ; N-heterocyclic carbene=C[(i Pr)NC(Me)]2 ) with N2 O furnishes the first Si-metalated iminosilane, [DippN=Si(OSiMe3 )Ni(Cl)(NHC)2 ] (3), in a rearrangement cascade. Markedly, the formation of 3 proceeds via the silanone (Si=O)-Ni π-complex 2 as the initial product, which was predicted by DFT calculations and observed spectroscopically. The Si=O and Si=N moieties in 2 and 3, respectively, show remarkable hydroboration reactivity towards H-B bonds of boranes, in the former case corroborating the proposed formation of a (Si=O)-Ni π-complex at low temperature.

Abstract
A synthesis of the 2-phosphathioethynolate anion, PCS-, under ambient conditions is reported. The coordination chemistry of PCO-, PCS- and their nitrogen-containing congeners is also explored. Photolysis of a solution of W(CO)6 in the presence of PCO- [or a simple ligand displacement reaction using W(CO)5(MeCN)] affords [W(CO)5(PCO)]- (1). The cyanate and thiocyanate analogues, [W(CO)5(NCO)]- (2) and [W(CO)5(NCS)]- (3), are also synthesised using a similar methodology, allowing for an in-depth study of the bonding properties of this family of related ligands. Our studies reveal that, in the coordination sphere of tungsten(0), the PCO- anion preferentially binds through the phosphorus atom in a strongly bent fashion, while NCO- and NCS- coordinate linearly through the nitrogen atom. Reactions between PCS- and W(CO)5(MeCN) similarly afford [W(CO)5(PCS)]-; however, due to the ambidentate nature of the anion, a mixture of both the phosphorus- and sulfur-bonded complexes (4a and 4b, respectively) is obtained. It was possible to establish that, as with PCO-, the PCS- ion also coordinates to the metal centre in a bent fashion.

Abstract
The lowest excited state of the acetylenyl radical, HCC, is a (2)Π state, only 0.46 eV above the ground state, (2)Σ(+). The promotion of an electron from a π bond pair to a singly occupied σ hybrid orbital is all that is involved, and so we set out to tune those orbital energies, and with them the relative energetics of (2)Π and (2)Σ(+) states. A strategy of varying ligand electronegativity, employed in a previous study on substituted carbynes, RC, was useful, but proved more difficult to apply for substituted acetylenyl radicals, RCC. However, π-donor/acceptor substitution is effective in modifying the state energies. We are able to design molecules with (2)Π ground states (NaOCC, H2NCC ((2)A″), HCSi, FCSi, etc.) and vary the (2)Σ(+)-(2)Π energy gap over a 4 eV range. We find an inconsistency between bond order and bond dissociation energy measures of the bond strength in the Si-containing molecules; we provide an explanation through an analysis of the relevant potential energy curves.
