Theoretical study on the stability and aromaticity in silapentafulvenes towards triplet ground state species

Main Group Pentafulvenes: Challenges and Opportunities in Heavy Main Group Isolobal Substitution of Pentafulvene

Heterofulvenes based on isolobal substitution of carbon fragments by (heavier) main group motifs provide a rich source of structurally interesting building blocks with electronic situations that can vastly differ from all-carbon congeners. Group 13, heavier 14 & 16 fulvenes are rare and pose significant stability challenges, while group 15 derivatives, particularly phosphorus and arsenic, have led to many derivatives with intriguing opto-electronic properties.

Density functional theory investigations on the coordination of Pa(v) with N,N-dialkylamide

The density functional theory (DFT) method was used to study the coordination of a series of N,N-dialkylamides with Pa(v) to shed light on the inherent principles for screening amide extractants of Pa(v) from aqueous solution.
