STRONTIUM POWER: Although this series follows the octet rule, only neutral Ph3N is stable. Ph3B is very resistant to double reduction. Only Ar3B.- radical anions are known. However, it had to surrender to strontium. doi.org/10.1002/anie...

OXIDATION STATE CONFUSION in look-alike Mg-Ca and Mg-Yb complexes. Formally Mg(0)-Ca(II)/Yb(II) but E decomposition analysis EDA-NOCV suggests a combination of neutral (BDI*)Mg(I)/(Am*)Yb(I) radicals @chemicalscience.rsc.org doi.org/10.1039/d6sc...

Even microwave conditions did not lead to deprotonation of the arm. But the tridentate nacnac ligand stabilizes even heteroleptic Sr complexes which are normally very much prone to Schlenk equilibria. doi.org/10.1002/zaac...

SOLVENT-FREE ALKALINE-EARTH ALKYLS are very useful precursors in group 2 chemistry. Here we report facile syntheses of highly reactive Ca, Sr and Ba complexes, partially by ball-mill methods. doi.org/10.1021/acs....
