The development of extremely sterically demanding, monodentate amide ligands facilitates the isolation of main group species with new and highly reactive coordination modes. An outstanding feature of these ligands is the ability to tune their steric demands. Reactivity investigations highlight the potential for small molecule activation chemistry and catalysis for these compounds.

Singlet Carbenes

Although small-molecule activation has long been the exclusive domain of transition metal chemistry, it has been increasingly realized that subvalent heavier main-group element compounds, too, are capable of activating H2, NH3, CO, etc. In a remarkable breakthrough, it was recently discovered that this is even possible with certain selected carbon(ii) compounds, viz. (alkyl)(amino)carbenes. However, N-heterocyclic carbenes and related diaminocarbenes, which represent the largest and most widely applied class of singlet carbenes, have been judged to be incapable of exhibiting similar reactivity. It now turns out that this is not quite true and that their reactivity needs to be reassessed.
