Abstract
Due to their intrinsic high reactivity, isolation of heavier analogues of carbynes remains a great challenge. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a neutral monosubstituted Sn(I) radical (2) supported by a sterically hindered hydrindacene ligand, which represents the first tin analogue of a free carbyne. Different from all Sn(I/III) species reported thus far, the presence of a sole Sn-C σ bond in 2 renders the remaining two Sn 5p orbitals energetically almost degenerate, of which one is singly occupied and the other is empty. Consequently, its S = 1/2 ground state possesses two-fold orbital pseudo-degeneracy and substantial unquenched orbital angular momentum, as evidenced by one component of its g matrix (1.957, 1.896, and 1.578) being considerably less than 2. Consistent with this unique electronic structure, 2 can bind to an N-heterocyclic carbene to afford a neutral two-coordinate Sn(I) radical and initiate a one-electron transfer to benzophenone to furnish a Sn(II)-ketyl radical anion adduct. As a manifestation of its Sn-centered radical nature, 2 reacts with diphenyl diselenide and p-benzoquinone to form Sn-S and Sn-O bonds, respectively.

Abstract
Isolation of cyclic (alkyl) amino carbenes (cAACs) in 2005 has been a major achievement in the field of stable carbenes due to their better electronic properties. cAACs and bicyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (BicAAC) in essence are the most electrophilic as well as nucleophilic carbenes are known till date. Due to their excellent electronic properties in terms of nucleophilic and electrophilic character, cAACs have been utilized in different areas of chemistry, including stabilization of low valent main group and transition metal species, activation of small molecules, and catalysis. The applications of cAACs in catalysis have opened up new avenues of research in the field of cAAC chemistry. This review summarizes the major results of cAAC chemistry published until August 2021.

Abstract
Several examples of stable low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements (Si, Ge, Sb, Pb) such as divalent species and multiple-bond compounds have been reported. With the goal in mind to create unprecedented low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements that exhibit considerably increased redox stability, ferrocenyl (Fc)-substituted low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements were designed. In this short account article, recent progress on the synthesis of Fc-based low-coordinated species of heavier group 14 elements is summarized.

Abstract
DMAP-stabilized silylenes 1a–c are obtained from the reductive debromination of the corresponding dibromosilanes in the presence of DMAP. Their distinctly different thermal isomerization reactions via C–H bond activation, dearomative ring expansion and silyl migration are discussed. Furthermore, complexes 1 dissociate at elevated temperatures, providing the corresponding free silylenes in situ, which are even capable of single-site activation of H2. Additionally, a potassium-substituted silicon-centered radical 2 is isolated from overreduction of (tBu3Si)2SiBr2. DMAP-stabilized silylenes 1a–c, which are convenient, room temperature stable synthetic equivalents for the corresponding highly reactive free bis(silyl)silylenes are reported.![]()

Abstract
Bis(ferrocenyl)germylene Fc*2 Ge: [2; Fc*=2,5-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-1-ferrocenyl] was isolated in the form of red crystals from the reaction of the sterically demanding ferrocenyl lithium dimer (Fc*Li)2 and GeI2 . Bis(ferrocenyl)germylene 2 exhibits extraordinary thermal stability in hydrocarbon solution and the solid state, as well as stable redox behavior. Moreover, it undergoes a ligand-redistribution reaction with GeCl2 ⋅(dioxane) to afford the corresponding chlorogermylene, which was isolated upon coordination with PBu3 .

Abstract
The first tricoordinate fluorosilylenoid, (t-Bu2MeSi)2SiFLi.3THF (1), was synthesized, and its X-ray molecular structure was determined. 1 was synthesized in 40% yield by a bromine-lithium exchange reaction in THF of the corresponding fluorobromosilane with t-Bu2MeSiLi. 1 is best described as an R2SiF- anion attracted to a (Li.3THF)+ cation with a small contribution of resonance structure that consists of a silylene fragment and FLi.3THF. 1 reacts as a nucleophile with MeCl, PhH2SiCl, H2O, and MeOH, as an electrophile with MeLi, and as a silylene with Li (or t-BuLi) and Na, yielding alpha-lithium and alpha-sodium silyl radicals, respectively. Either photolysis or thermolysis of 1 yields the corresponding disilene R2Si=SiR2 (R = t-Bu2MeSi), probably via dimerization of R2Si:.

Abstract
Reduction of Cl2Si[(NR)2C6H4-1,2] (R = CH2Bu(t)) with potassium is known to lead to the stable silylene Si[(NR)2C6H4-1,2] (1). However, silylene is now shown to react further with an alkali metal (Na or K) to yield the (1)(2)2-, c-(1)(3)-*, c-(1)(3)2- or c-(1)(4)2- derivatives. Reduction of Cl2Si[(NR)2C6H4-1,2] (R = CH2CH3 or CH2CHMe2) with potassium does not lead to an isolable silylene, but such a silylene is proposed to be an intermediate and, as for 1, reacts further to afford the potassium salts of c-[Si{(NR)2C6H4-1,2}]4-* and c-[Si{(NR)2C6H4-1,2}](4)2-. The pathways leading to the anionic cyclotri- and cyclotetrasilanes are discussed and supported experimentally; including by X-ray structures of relevant intermediates.

Abstract
Recently, Ishida and co-workers have isolated silylene radical anions via the one-electron reduction of isolable cyclic dialkylsilylenes, discovering these corresponding radical anions to be relatively stable at low temperatures. Herein we report theoretical predictions of the adiabatic electron affinities (AEA), vertical electron affinities, and vertical detachment energies of a series of methyl, silyl, and halosubstituted silylene compounds. This research utilizes the carefully calibrated DZP++ basis with the combination of the popular nonhybrid and hybrid DFT functionals, BLYP, B3LYP, and BHHLYP. The level of theory employed and the ensemble of species under study confirm the ability of silylenes to bind excess electrons with Si(SiH(3))(2) being the most effective, having a predicted AEA of 1.95 eV. While it is known that methyl substituents have a diminishing effect on the computed electron affinities (EAs), it is shown that fluorine shows an analogous negative effect. Similarly, previous suggestions that Si(CH(3))(2) will not bind an electron appear incorrect, with EA[Si(CH(3))(2)] predicted here to be 0.46 eV.

Abstract
Recent studies of the synthesis, structures, spectroscopic properties, and reactions of a series of isolable metallylenes (R2E:, E = Si (1), Ge (2), and Sn (3); R2 = 1,1,4,4-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)butane-1,4-diyl) are summarized. Because these group-14 metallylenes bear the same helmet-like ligand, a straightforward discussion of the element-dependence of the intrinsic properties of the group-14 element divalent compounds is possible. All these metallylenes were monomeric both in solution and in the solid state, indicating the effective steric protection by the ligand against dimerization. A small sigma-pi conjugation between C-Si(substituent) sigma orbitals and the vacant npz orbitals of divalent atoms in R2E: exists and the extent decreases in the order E = Si > Ge > Sn, as evidenced by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopies and X-ray crystallography. However, the extent of the sigma-pi conjugation in metallylenes 1-3 was much smaller than the electron-donating effects of neighboring nitrogen atoms in known stable cyclic diamino-substituted metallylenes, and hence metallylenes 1-3 are regarded as the least electronically perturbed. Comparative studies of the unique reactions among these metallylenes are also discussed.
