Synthesis and Reactivity of Heavy Azadipnictiridines and Stabilized-Iminobismuthane
Three- and four-membered organic rings are important molecular entities in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Subsequently, such motifs readily release ring-strain through cycloaddition reactions or by reacting with nucleophiles or electrophiles, allowing for facile diversification. Similarly, small inorganic rings have shown promise in promoting bond activation and, in some cases, catalysis. However, their synthesis is […]
