Summary: The synthesis and characterization of a series of divalent Ge and Sn compounds with an ambiphilic nature is described. These compounds are obtained by forcing divalent group 14 elements into a planar geometry using a sterically constrained pincer-type ligand. The reactions of these compounds with various Lewis bases and acids are investigated, showing formation of both dimeric and monomeric species.

Summary: The impact of metalloligands on Au catalysed alkyne hydrofunctionalisation is investigated, with ambiphilic PMP-type ligands (M = Cu-I, Ag-I, Zn-II) stabilizing Au -> M bonds, including unprecedented Au-I ? Zn-II interactions. The Lewis acidity of Au increases in the order Cu-I < Ag-I < Zn-II, promoting catalytic cycloisomerisation of propargylamide 14. Au/Zn complex 8 serves as an excellent catalyst for alkyne hydroamination.

Summary: Gem-dichloroalkanes can be used as precursors for asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions of alkenes. The process involves a cobalt catalyst and shows high levels of enantioselectivity for monosubstituted, 1,1-disubstituted, and internal alkenes. The reaction is compatible with alkyl-substituted carbenes.

Summary: This study highlights the recent developments of N-heterocyclic silylenes (NHSis) as ambiphilic activators and ligands in organometallic chemistry, comparing their properties with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) and phosphine ligands. NHSis show different ligation properties due to their unique frontier orbital region compared to NHCs, with donor properties closer to phosphines. They exhibit a stronger tendency to act as bridging ligands between metal centers and achieve more facile insertion reactions into metal-ligand bonds than NHCs, providing novel reactivities in basic organometallic chemistry and catalysis.

Summary: New manganese complexes with di-triazolylidene ligands display different ligand coordination modes, bridging and chelating, depending on the substituents and synthetic procedure. The structures of monometallic and bimetallic complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Cyclic voltammetry studies indicate reversible redox processes for monometallic Mn(i) complexes and a quasi-reversible EC mechanism for the oxidation of bimetallic complexes.

Summary: A palladium(ii) hydride complex supported by a benzene-based PNCNP pincer ligand has been synthesized via two different routes and exhibits strong deprotonating ability and versatile catalytic activity. It can readily deprotonate acetamide to form the corresponding acetamido complex and catalyze the dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde under mild conditions, as well as the direct hydration of nitriles to primary amides. The direct hydration of nitriles catalyzed by this complex is the most efficient palladium catalytic system for this type of reaction, achieving 100% selectivity and good to excellent yields.

Summary: In this work, Pd complexes derived from ambiphilic ligands were found to preferentially activate acyl chlorides over other functional groups, enabling efficient catalysis in Stille and Negishi couplings. This provides a simple and effective method to selectively form C(=O)-C bonds and access functionalized ketones. Key Pd complexes have been authenticated and reaction profiles analyzed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations to gain insight into their role and influence in the process.

Summary: Low valent group 14 compounds with diazaborolyl substituents exhibit unique structures and reactivity due to the combination of sigma-electron donation and steric hindrance. The modulation of the HOMO-LUMO gap by the diazaborolyl substituents results in novel reaction patterns in the activation of small molecules and inert chemical bonds.
