N-Heterocyclic Germylenes: Structural Characterisation of Some Heavy Analogues of the Ubiquitous N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
TL;DR: The X-ray crystal structures of three N-heterocyclic germylenes (NHGes) have been elucidated including the previously unknown 1,3-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)diazagermol-2-ylidene (1).
Investigation of the acid catalysed Diels-Alder reactions of furan derivatives
TL;DR: In this paper, the trifluoroacelJc acid catalysed Diels-Alder reaction of furan, 2,5-dimethylfuran and 2.5-diphenylfuran with,8-ferroccnyl-a-enones was used to obtain a formal [4+3 ] cycioaddition product containing 1,2-disubstituted ferrocene.

Donor-activated alkali metal dipyridylamides: co-complexation reactions with zinc alkyls and reactivity studies with benzophenone
David R. Armstrong,Etienne V. Brouillet,Alan R. Kennedy,Jennifer A. Garden,Markus Granitzka,Robert E. Mulvey,Joshua J. Trivett +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was reported that altering the Lewis donor or alkali metal within the metalloligand influenced the reaction outcome, exhibiting a strong influence on alkylation yields and reaction selectivity.

Solid state and solution studies of lithium tris(n-butyl)magnesiates stabilised by Lewis donors
TL;DR: Several Lewis base adducts of the synthetically important lithium tris(n-butyl)magnesiate LiMg((n)Bu)3 have been prepared and structurally characterised and adopted a ladder conformation which is commonly observed in lithium amide chemistry.
A new polymeric alkyl/alkoxide magnesium-sodium inverse crown complex.
TL;DR: Exhibiting a centrosymmetric core of a heterobimetallic eight-membered cationic ring, hosting two alkoxide ligands at its core, the title compound forms a two-dimensional coordination polymer in the crystallographic bc plane through Na···Me contacts.
