Until recently the low-coordinate compounds of the heavier elements
of group 14 were known only as transient, unstable species which
were difficult to isolate. However recent developments have led to
the stabilisation of these compounds and today heavier group 14
element cations, radicals, anions, carbene analogues, alkene and
alkyne analogues and aromatics have all been prepared as highly
reactive, stable, fully characterizable and readily available
organometallic reagents. Organometallic Compounds of Low-Coordinate
Si, Ge, Sn and Pb describes the chemistry of this exciting new
class of organometallics, with an emphasis on their major
similarities and differences with the analogous species in organic
chemistry. Topics covered include include the synthesis, structure,
reactions and synthetic applications of : * Si-, Ge-, Sn and
Pb-centered cations, radicals and anions * heavy analogues of
carbenes: silylenes, germylenes, stannylenes and plumbylenes *
heavy analogues of alkenes: disilenes, digermenes, distannenes,
diplumbenes * heavy analogues of alkynes: disilynes, digermynes,
distannynes, diplumbynes, and their valence isomers * heteronuclear
derivatives: silenes, germenes, stannenes, silagermenes,
silastannenes, germastannenes * heavy analogues of alkenes of the
type: >E14=E13-, >E14=E15-, >E14=E16 [where E13, E14, E15
and E16 are elements of the groups 13, 14, 15 and 16] * cyclic
compounds (three-, four-, five-, and six-membered rings) * heavy
analogues of 1,3-dienes, allenes and other cumulenes * heavy
analogues of aromatic compounds; including a comparison between
organometallic and organic aromaticity Organometallic Compounds of
Low-Coordinate Si, Ge, Sn and Pb is an essential guide to this
emerging class of organometallic reagents for researchers and
students in main group, organometallic, synthetic and silicon
chemistry
