| Organic chemistry and organosilicon and organogermanium compounds |
The multiply bonded compounds has greatly enrich organic chemistry. Of equal importance, multiply bonded compounds of the heavy main group elements named as (Ditetrelenes) have proven to be powerful building blocks in organometallic/inorganic synthesis just as alkenes and alkynes are in organic synthesis. Out of many uses and applications of these interesting species, cycloaddition reactions of silenes (R2Si=CR2) disilenes (R2Si=SiR2), germenes (R2Ge=CR2), and digermenes (R2Ge=GeR2) as rout for the synthesis of novel organometallic/inorganic is main interest of us. As is well-recognized in carbon chemistry, to achieve the full potential of unsaturated heavier main group compounds, it is critical to have a firm understanding of their reaction mechanisms. |
