Abstract
This study describes the synthesis, structural characterization, and catalytic application of a bis(germylene)-stabilized stannylone (2). The reduction of digermylated stannylene (1) with 2.2 equiv of potassium graphite (KC8) leads to the formation of stannylone 2 as a green solid in 78% yield. Computational studies showed that stannylone 2 possesses a formal Sn(0) center and a delocalized 3-c-2-e π-bond in the Ge2Sn core, which arises from back-donation of the p-type lone pair electrons on the Sn atom to the vacant orbitals of the Ge atoms. Stannylone 2 can serve as an efficient precatalyst for the selective reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitroarenes (ArNO2) with the formation of dinitrogen (N2) and hydrazines (ArNH-NHAr), respectively. Exposure of 2 with N2O (1 atm) resulted in the insertion of two oxygen atoms into the Ge-Ge and Ge-Sn bonds, yielding the germyl(oxyl)stannylene (3). Moreover, the stoichiometric reaction of 2 with 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene afforded an amido(oxyl)stannylene (4) through the complete scission of the N-O bonds of the nitroarene. Stannylenes 3 and 4 serve as catalytically active species for the catalytic reduction of nitrous oxide and nitroarenes, respectively. Mechanistic studies reveal that the cooperation of the low-valent Ge and Sn centers allows for multiple electron transfers to cleave the N-O bonds of N2O and ArNO2. This approach presents a new strategy for catalyzing the deoxygenation of N2O and ArNO2 using a zerovalent tin compound.

Abstract
Due to their limited capacity for π-backdonation, isolation of π-complexes of main-group elements remains a great challenge. We report herein the synthesis of a homoleptic diphosphene lead complex (2) from the degradation of P4 with a bis(germylene)-stabilized Pb(0) complex. Structural and computational studies showed that 2 possesses significant π bonding interactions between Pb atom and diphosphene ligands, which is reminiscent of transition-metal diphosphene complexes. Consistent with its unique electronic structure, complex 2 can deliver Pb(0) atoms to perform redox reaction with an iminoquinone to produce a cyclic plumbylene (4) and perform 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-dimethylimidazol-1-ylidene (IMe2 Me2 ) induced phosphorus cation abstraction to give an anionic PbP3 complex (6).

Abstract
The germylone dimNHCGe (dimNHC=diimino N-heterocyclic carbene) reacts with azides N3 R (R=SiMe3 or p-tolyl) to furnish the first examples of germanium π-complexes, i. e. guanidine-ligated compounds (dimNHI-SiMe3 )Ge (NHI=N-heterocyclic imine, R=SiMe3 ) and (dimNHI-Tol)Ge (R=p-tolyl). DFT calculations suggest that these species are formed by a Staudinger type replacement of dinitrogen in the azide by a nucleophilic germylone, leading to a transient carbene adduct of iminogermylidene. Heating a solution of compound (dimNHI-SiMe3 )Ge to 70 °C results in extrusion of the iminogermylidene that further aggregates to produce the known [Me3 SiNGe]4 tetramer, whereas the imidazolylidene fragment transforms into an unusual heptatriene species that can be considered as a product of carbene insertion into the C-C bond of a pendant Ar substituent at the imidazolylidene nitrogen of the dimNHC. Reaction of (dimNHI-SiMe3 )Ge with tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone results in the net transfer of a germanium atom and formation of the free diimino-guanidine ligand. This ligand also forms when (dimNHI-SiMe3 )Ge is treated with azide N3 (p-Tol), with the germanium product being [(p-Tol)NGe]n.

Abstract
ConspectusSilylenes are divalent silicon species with an unoccupied 3p orbital and one lone pair of electrons at the SiII center. Owing to the excellent σ-donating ability of amidinato-based silylenes, which stems from the intramolecular imino-N donor interaction with the vacant 3p orbital of the silicon atom, N-heterocyclic amidinato bis(silylenes) [bis(NHSi)s] can serve as versatile strong donating ligands for cooperative stabilization of central atoms in unusually low oxidation states. Herein, we present our recent achievement on the application of bis(NHSi) ligands with electronically and spatially different spacers to main-group chemistry, which has allowed the isolation of a variety of low-valent compounds consisting of monatomic zero-valent group 14 E0 complexes (named "metallylones", E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb); monovalent group 15 EI complexes (E = N, P, isoelectronic with metallylones); and diatomic low-valent E2 complexes (E = Si, Ge, P) with intriguing electronic structures and chemical reactivities.The role of the SiII···SiII distance was revealed to be crucial in this chemistry. Utilizing the pyridine-based bis(NHSi) (Si···Si distance: 7.8 Å) ligand, germanium(0) complexes with additional Fe(CO)4 protection at the Ge0 site have been isolated. Featuring a shorter Si···Si distance of 4.3 Å, the xanthene-based bis(NHSi) has allowed the realization of the full series of heavy zero-valent group 14 element E0 complexes (E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), while the o-carborane-based bis(NHSi) (Si···Si distance: 3.3 Å) has enabled the isolation of Si0 and Ge0 complexes. Remarkably, reduction of the o-carborane-based bis(NHSi)-supported Si0 and Ge0 complexes induces the movement of two electrons into the o-carborane core and provides access to SiI-SiI and GeI-GeI species as oxidation products. Additionally, the o-carborane-based bis(NHSi) reacts with adamantyl azide, leading to a series of nitrogen(I) complexes as isoelectronic species of a carbone (C0 complex). Moreover, cooperative activation of white phosphorus gives bis(NHSi)-supported phosphorus complexes with varying and unexpected electronic structures when employing the xanthene-, o-carborane-, and aniline-based bis(NHSi)s. With the better kinetic protection provided by the xanthene-based bis(NHSi), small-molecule activation and functionalization of the bis(NHSi)-supported central E or E2 atoms (E = Si, Ge, P) are possible and furnish several novel functionalized silicon, germanium, and phosphorus compounds.With knowledge of the ability of chelating bis(NHSi)s in coordinating and functionalizing low-valent group 14 and 15 elements, the application of these ligand systems to other main-group elements such as group 2 and 13 is quite promising. To fully understand the role of the NHSi in a bis(NHSi) ligand, introducing a mixed ligand, i.e., the combination of an NHSi with other functional groups, such as Lewis acidic borane or Lewis basic borylene, in one chelating ligand could lead to new types of low-valent main-group species. Furthermore, the development of a genuine acyclic silylene, without an imino-N interaction with the vacant 3p orbital at the silicon(II) atom, as part of a chelating bis(acyclic silylene) has the potential to form very electronically different main-group element complexes that could achieve even more challenging bond activations such as N2 or unactivated C-H bonds.

Abstract
We report herein the synthesis of a stable plumbylone (3) by reduction of a bromodigermylplumbylene (2) with 2.2 equiv of potassium graphite (KC8 ). The molecular structure of 3 was established by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study and features a two-coordinated Pb center with an acute Ge-Pb-Ge bond angle. Computational studies showed that this complex (3) possesses a singlet electronic ground state with a Pb0 center. Its high thermal stability can be most likely ascribed to the delocalization of π electrons over the Ge-Pb-Ge moiety. A preliminary reactivity study demonstrates that complex 3 can deliver Pb0 atoms to an organic azide producing a tetrameric imido complex [(PbNDipp)4 ] (Dipp=2,6-i Pr-C6 H3 , 4) and perform a metathesis reaction with GeCl2 ⋅dioxane to produce a bis(germylene)-stabilized germylone (5), highlighting the synthetic utility of 3.

Abstract
The germanium iron carbonyl complex 3 was prepared by the reaction of dimeric chloro(imino)germylene [IPrNGeCl]2 (IPrN=bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-iminato) with one equivalent of Collman's reagent (Na2 Fe(CO)4 ) at room temperature. Similarly, the reaction of chloro(imino)stannylene [IPrNSnCl]2 with Na2 Fe(CO)4 (1 equiv) resulted in the Fe(CO)4 -bridged bis(stannylene) complex 4. We observed reversible formation of bis(tetrylene) and tetrylene-tetrylone character in complexes 3 vs. 5 and 4 vs. 6, which was supported by DFT calculations. Moreover, the Li/Sn/Fe trimetallic complex 12 has been isolated from the reaction of [IPrNSnCl]2 with cyclopentadienyl iron dicarbonyl anion. The computational analysis further rationalizes the reduction pathway from these chlorotetrylenes to the corresponding complexes.

Abstract
A new benchmark set termed SnS51 for assessing quantum chemical methods for the computation of 119Sn NMR chemical shifts is presented. It covers 51 unique 119Sn NMR chemical shifts for a selection of 50 tin compounds with diverse bonding motifs and ligands. The experimental reference data are in the spectral range of ±2500 ppm measured in seven different solvents. Fifteen common density functional approximations, two scalar- and one spin-orbit relativistic approach are assessed based on conformer ensembles generated using the CREST/CENSO scheme and state-of-the-art semiempirical (GFN2-xTB), force field (GFN-FF), and composite DFT methods (r2SCAN-3c). Based on the results of this study, the spin-orbit relativistic method combinations of SO-ZORA with PBE0 or revPBE functionals are generally recommended. Both yield mean absolute deviations from experimental data below 100 ppm and excellent linear regression determination coefficients of ≤0.99. If spin-orbit calculations are not affordable, the use of SR-ZORA with B3LYP or X2C with ωB97X or M06 may be considered to obtain qualitative predictions if no severe spin-orbit effects, for example, due to heavy nuclei containing ligands, are expected. An empirical linear scaling correction is demonstrated to be applicable for further improvement, and respective empirical parameters are given. Conformational effects on chemical shifts are studied in detail but are mostly found to be small. However, in specific cases when the ligand sphere differs substantially between conformers, chemical shifts can change by up to several hundred ppm.

Abstract
Various compounds are known for transition metals in their formal zero-oxidation state, while similar compounds of main-group elements are recently realized and limited to only a few examples. Lewis-base-stabilized mono and diatomic molecular species (B2, C, C2, Si, Si2, Ge, Ge2, Sn, P2, As2, Sb2) represent groundbreaking examples of main-group compounds with formally zero-oxidation state. In recent years, the isolation of low-valent main-group compounds has attracted increasing attention of both experimental and theoretical chemists. This is not only due to their fascinating electronic structures and exceptional reactivities, but also their use as valuable precursors for the synthesis of exotic yet important chemical species. This has led to a better understanding of the intricate balance of the donor-acceptor properties of the ligand(s) used to stabilize elements in a formally zero-oxidation state. Owing to the unusual oxidation state of the central element, many compounds containing formally zero-valent elements can efficiently activate otherwise inert small molecules. This review describes the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of reported mono and diatomic formal zero-oxidation state main-group compounds. This review also emphasizes the comparative description of systems where different ligands are used to stabilize an element in its formal zero-oxidation state.

Abstract
Herein, we present the synthesis and characterization of heteroleptic lanthanide complexes bearing a dianionic η5-plumbole ligand in their coordination sphere. The reaction proceeds via a salt elimination reaction between the dilithioplumbole ([Li(thf)]2[1,4-bis-tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl-2,3-bis-phenyl-plumbolyl] = [Li2(thf)2(η5-LPb)]) and specifically designed [Ln(η8-COTTIPS)BH4] precursors (Ln = lanthanide, La, Ce, Sm, Er; COTTIPS = 1,4-bis-triisopropylsilyl-cyclooctatetraenyl), that are capable of stabilizing a planar plumbole moiety in the coordination sphere of different trivalent lanthanide ions. In-depth ab initio calculations show that the aromaticity of the dianionic plumbole is retained upon coordination. Electron delocalization occurs from the plumbole HOMO to an orbital of mainly d-character at the lanthanide ion. The magnetic properties of the erbium congener were investigated in detail, leading to the observation of magnetic hysteresis up to 5 K (200 Oe s-1), an unequivocal proof for single molecule magnet behavior in this system. The magnetic behavior of the erbium species can be modulated by manipulating the position of the lithium cation in the complex, which directly influences the bonding metrics in the central [(η5-LPb)Er(η8-COTTIPS)]- fragment. This allowed us to assess a fundamental magneto-structural correlation in an otherwise identical inner coordination sphere.

Abstract
The monoatomic zero‐valent tin complex (stannylone) {[SiII(Xant)SiII]Sn0} 5 stabilized by a bis(silylene)xanthene ligand, [SiII(Xant)SiII=PhC(NtBu)2Si(Xant)Si(NtBu)2CPh], and its bis‐tetracarbonyliron complex {[SiII(Xant)SiII]Sn0[Fe(CO)4]2} 4 are reported. The stannylone 5 bearing a two‐coordinate zero‐valent tin atom is synthesized by reduction of the precursor 4 with potassium graphite. Compound 4 results from the SnII halide precursor {[SiII(Xant)SiII]SnIICl}Cl 2 or {[SiII(Xant)SiII]SnBr2} 3 through reductive salt‐metathesis reaction with K2Fe(CO)4. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and HOMO‐1 of 5 correspond to a π‐type lone pair with delocalization into both adjacent vacant orbitals of the SiII atoms and a σ‐type lone pair at the Sn0 center, respectively, indicating genuine stannylone character.

Abstract
The aromatic metallole dianions are important metallaaromatic compounds because of their various reactivities and extensive synthetic applications. Herein we report the reactions of dilithionickelole with MgCl2 , EtAlCl2 , Cp*ScCl2 , Cp*LuCl2 and Pt(COD)Cl2 (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene) affording a series of Ni/M heterobimetallic complexes of the general formula (η4 -C4 R4 M)Ni(COD), in which the metalloles act as diene ligands, as suggested by single-crystal X-ray, NMR and theoretical analyses. In these reactions, two electrons of the nickelole dianion transferred to Ni, representing different reactivity compared with main-group metallole dianions.

Abstract
While the implication of the aromaticity concept has been dramatically expanded to date since its emergence in 1865, the classical [4n+2]/4n-electron counting protocol still plays an essential role in evaluating the aromatic nature of compounds. Over the last few decades, a variety of heavier heterocycles featuring the formal [4n+2] π-electron arrangements have been developed, which allows for assessing their aromatic nature. In this review, we present recent developments of the [4n+2]-electron systems of heavier heterocycles involving group 13-15 elements. The synthesis, spectroscopic data, structural parameters, computational data, and reactivity are introduced.

Abstract
Since the prediction of the existence of metallabenzenes in 1979, metallaaromatic chemistry has developed rapidly, due to its importance in both experimental and theoretical fields. Now six major types of metallaromatic compounds, metallabenzenes, metallabenzynes, heterometallaaromatics, dianion metalloles, metallapentalenes and metallapentalynes (also termed carbolongs), and spiro metalloles, have been reported and extensively studied. Their parent organic analogues may be aromatic, non-aromatic, or even anti-aromatic. These unique systems not only enrich the large family of aromatics, but they also broaden our understanding and extend the concept of aromaticity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of metallaaromatic chemistry. We have focused on not only the six major classes of metallaaromatics, including the main-group-metal-based metallaaromatics, but also other types, such as metallacyclobutadienes and metallacyclopropenes. The structures, synthetic methods, and reactivities are described, their applications are covered, and the challenges and future prospects of the area are discussed. The criteria commonly used to judge the aromaticity of metallaaromatics are presented.

Abstract
Stabilization for tetrylone complexes, which carry ylidone(0) ligands [(CO)5W-X (YCp*)2] (X = Ge, Sn, Pb; Y = B-Tl), has become an active theoretical research because of their promising application. Structure, bonding, and quantum properties of the transition-metal donor-acceptor complexes were theoretically investigated at the level of theory BP86 with several types of basis sets including SVP, TZVPP, and TZ2P+. The optimized structures reveal that all ligands X (YCp*)2 are strongly bonded in tilted modes to the metal fragment W(CO)5, and Cp* rings are mainly η5-bonded to atom X. DFT-based bonding analysis results in an implication that the stability of W-X bond strength primarily stems from the donation (CO)5W ← X(YCp*)2 formed by both σ- and π-bondings and the electrostatic interaction ΔE elstat. The W-X bond possesses a considerable polarizability toward atom X, and analysis on its hybridization is either sp2-characteristic or mainly p-characteristic. EDA-NOCV-based results further imply that the ligands XY perform as significant σ-donors but minor π-donors. The visual simulations of NOCV pairs and the deformation densities assemble a comprehensive summary on different components of the chemical bond via σ- and π-types in the complexes. This work contributes to the literature as an in-depth overview on predicted molecular structures and quantum parameters of the complexes [(CO)5W-X(YCp*)2] (X = Ge, Sn, Pb; Y = B-Tl), conducive to either further theoretical reference or extending experimental research.

Abstract
The germylone dimNHCGe (5, dimNHC = diimino N-heterocyclic carbene) was successfully prepared via the reduction of the germanium cation [dimNHCGeCl]+ with KC8. The molecular structure of 5 was unambiguously established by both NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The reactivity of 5 was investigated, revealing that it undergoes oxidative addition of HCl, CH3I, and PhI, accompanied by an unusual migration of the H, Me, and Ph groups from germanium to the carbene ligand. Related chemistry was also observed with C5F5N, which results in the migration of the fluorinated pyridine moiety to the carbene ligand. Compound 5 also undergoes cycloaddition with tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone to afford a Ge(IV) adduct.

Abstract
Group 14 element heteroles are the heavier analogues of cyclopentadienes in which a heavier group 14 element atom replaces the sp3 carbon atom. In particular siloles and, to a somewhat smaller degree, germoles attracted considerable attention since the early 1990s due to their favorable photophysical properties which allowed the construction of OLEDs using group 14 element heteroles as emissive or electron-transport layers. Anions and in particular dianions derived from group 14 element heteroles have been of substantial interest due to the possible occurrence of Hückel aromaticity involving the heavier main group atom. Aromaticity is not the only notable electronic feature of silole and germole dianions; the spatial and energetic alignment of their frontier orbitals is equally remarkable. With a high lying lone pair at the heteroatom, which is orthogonal to a delocalized π-system, their frontier orbital sequence closely resembles that of N-heterocyclic carbene analogues. Despite these intriguing parallels between carbene analogues and silole and germole dianions, disappointingly little is known about their reactivity. The installation of trialkylsilyl substituents in the 2,5-positions of the heterocyclopentadiene ring as in K2[I] has a remarkable effect on the stability of silole and germole dianions and allows us to study their reactivity and to evaluate their synthetic potential in detail. Simple double salt metathesis reactions with different dihalides provided heterofulvenes. These were detected either as intermediates or, in the case of carbon dihalides, isolated in the form of their ylidic isomers II. In other cases, the heterofulvenes were the starting point for complex reaction sequences leading to novel binuclear complexes of titanium and zirconium III or for simple isomerization reactions that lead to bicyclohexene-type tetrylenes (BCH-tetrylenes) IV, a novel class of heavier carbenes. These bicyclic carbene analogues are significantly stabilized by homoconjugation between the electron deficient tetrel atom and the remote C═C double bond. Compound IV with E'R2═SiR2 and E = Si is a valence isomer of disilabenzene and is a stable derivative of the global minimum of the Si2C4H6 potential energy surface. With group 13 dihalides, as for example with boron dichlorides, topological closely related compounds V were isolated. These Ge(II) complexes of borole dianions are isolobal to half-sandwich complexes of main group elements such as aluminum(I) cyclopentadienide or can be viewed as nido-type clusters. These analogies already open a broad field for future investigations of their reactivity. Trialkylsilyl-substituted heterole dianions I provide a facile synthetic approach to several novel intriguing compound classes with the tetrel element in unusual coordination states. The reactivity and the synthetic potential of these new compounds is however widely unexplored and calls for future systematic studies. Gratifyingly, the periodic table of the elements stills holds a lot of potential for future research on the reactivity of silole and germole dianions.

Abstract
The Lewis acid-base complexation chemistry of dimethyl- and diphenylstannylene (SnMe2 and SnPh2, respectively) in hexanes solution has been studied by laser photolysis methods. Complexation of the two stannylenes with a series of nine O-, S-, and N-donors (including cyclic and acyclic dialkyl ethers and sulfides, a primary, secondary, and tertiary amine, ethyl acetate and acetone), two alkenes, and an alkyne proceeds rapidly and reversibly to generate the corresponding stannylene-donor Lewis pairs, which have been detected in each case by time-resolved UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The complexes exhibit UV-vis absorption maxima in the range of λmax ∼ 310-405 nm depending on the donor and substitution at tin. Bimolecular rate constants for complexation (kC), which could be determined for 14 of the 24 Lewis pairs that were studied, were found to fall within a factor of four of the diffusional limit in all cases, with SnMe2 showing consistently higher reactivity than SnPh2. Equilibrium constants for complexation (KC) could be measured for all but one of the stannylene-π- and O-donor pairs, the values corresponding to (gas phase) binding free energies in the range of +1.1 to -3.9 kcal mol-1. Comparison of the experimental equilibrium constants for complexation of SnMe2 and SnPh2 with methanol and diethyl ether to those measured previously for the homologous silylenes and germylenes indicates that Lewis acidity decreases in the order SiR2 > SnR2 > GeR2 for both the dimethyl- and diphenyltetrylene series, the diphenyl derivatives exhibiting significantly stronger Lewis acidity in all three cases. The experimental trends in the binding energies and UV-vis spectra of the complexes are reproduced well by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which have been carried out at the (TD)ωB97XD/def2-TZVP level of theory. The experimental data also show evidence of a reaction between tetramethyldistannene (Me2Sn[double bond, length as m-dash]SnMe2, 4a) and amine donors, which is suggested to afford the corresponding amine-stabilized stannylidenestannylene structure. The mechanistic proposal is supported by DFT calculations of the complexation of 4a and SnMe2 with model O-, S- and N-donors.

Abstract
Tetrylones (ylidones) represent a class of zero-valent group 14 compounds with the general formula EL2 (E=C, Si, Ge, Sn, or Pb; L=neutral σ-donating ligand), wherein the tetrel atom, E(0), possess its four valence electrons in the form of two electron lone pairs, and is moreover coordinated by two ligands (L) via donor-acceptor interactions (L→E←L). This review focuses on the synthesis, structure, reactivity, and computational examination of the isolable heavier tetrylones (Si, Ge, Sn) that have been discovered recently. A comprehensive review on carbone chemistry is beyond the scope of this review. It should also be noted that tetrylones contain two different types of lone pairs, that is, one that exhibits p-type and one that exhibits s-type characteristics. Different behavior should thus be expected when these lone pairs react with Lewis acids.

Abstract
The synthesis of dilithio-stannoles and -plumboles, dianionic aromatic compounds containing tin and lead atoms in their π-skeletons, opened a new field of transition-metal chemistry. Since the discovery of ferrocene (Cp2Fe), which is composed of anionic aromatic ligands (Cp: cyclopentadienyl) and Fe(II), ferrocene-type sandwich complexes have long played important roles in many fields of chemistry. During the last few decades, the electronic and structural properties of the Cp ligand have been modified by introducing electron-donating, electron-withdrawing, and sterically encumbered substituents on the skeletal carbon atoms to obtain desirable properties of the resulting sandwich complexes. In terms of modifying the Cp ligand, we focused our attention on introducing a heavy group 14 atom into the π-skeleton. This idea was originally inspired by a question of whether or not aromaticity was retained after the replacement of a skeletal carbon atom by a heavy group 14 atom. After we succeeded in the synthesis of aromatic dilithio-stannoles and -plumboles, revealing that the concept of conventional aromaticity was expanded to lead-containing π-systems, we undertook the present project on applying these dianionic aromatic heavy Cp analogues as ligands for transition-metal complexes. The combination of a stannole and Cp*Ru units accomplished the creation of a neutral triple-decker complex and an anionic ruthenocene, which was not be accessible using Cp and its related ligands that are composed of only carbon atoms. The anionic ruthenocene reacted with electrophiles to afford ruthenocene-type sandwich complexes, and the structures of the stannole skeletons were highly dependent on the substituents on the tin atoms, in sharp contrast to the planar Cp ligand. The dianionic plumbole ligand was also found to function as an η5-coordinating ligand in an anionic ruthenocene, which is noteworthy in terms of incorporating the heaviest group 14 atom into a π-ligand to produce a ferrocene-type sandwich complex. The anionic ruthenocene bearing the plumbole ligand reacted with electrophiles to afford ruthenocene-type plumbole complexes, which have oxidation potentials lower than those of the corresponding tin analogues, demonstrating the effect of introduction of a lead atom heavier than a tin atom. In the reactions of dilithiostannoles with group 4 metals, the resulting complexes were found to have exotic electronic structures that cannot be constructed by the Cp ligand. The transition-metal complexes derived from dilithio-stannoles and -plumbole therefore exhibit remarkable differences as well as similarities to the traditional Cp-based transition-metal complexes. These results spotlight the introduction of heavy group 14 atoms into carbon-based π-skeletons, which can perturb the electronic properties of conventional transition-metal complexes and open a new chemistry of transition-metal complexes.

Abstract
Monoatomic zerovalent main-group element complexes emerged very recently and attracted increasing attention of both theoretical and experimental chemists. In particular, zerovalent silicon complexes and their congeners (metallylones) stabilized by neutral Lewis donors are of significant importance not only because of their intriguing electronic structure but also because they can serve as useful building blocks for novel chemical species. Featuring four valence electrons as two lone pairs at the central atoms, such complexes may form donor-acceptor adducts with Lewis acids. More interestingly, with the central atoms in the oxidation state of zero, they could pave a way to new classes of compounds and functional groups that are otherwise difficult to realize. In this Account, we mainly describe our contributions in the chemistry of monatomic zerovalent silicon (silylone) and germanium (germylone) supported by a chelate bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (bis-NHC) ligand in the context of related species developed by other groups in the meantime. Utilizing the bis-NHC stabilized chlorosilyliumylidene [:SiCl]+ and chlorogermyliumylidene [:GeCl]+ as suitable starting materials, we successfully isolated silylone (bis-NHC)Si and germylone (bis-NHC)Ge, respectively. The electronic structures of the latter complexes established by theoretical calculations and spectroscopic data revealed that they are genuine metallylone species with electron-rich silicon(0) and germanium(0) centers. Accordingly, they can react with 1 molar equiv of GaCl3 to form Lewis adducts (bis-NHC)E(GaCl3) (E = Si, Ge) and with 2 molar equiv of ZnCl2 to furnish (bis-NHC)Si(ZnCl2)2. Conversion of the metallylones with elemental chalcogens affords isolable monomeric silicon(II) and germanium(II) monochalcogenides (bis-NHC)EX(GaCl3) (X = Se, Te), representing molecular heavier congeners of CO. Moreover, their reaction with elemental chalcogens can also yield monomeric silicon(IV) and germanium(IV) dichalcogenides (bis-NHC)EX2 (X = S, Se, Te) as the first isolable complexes of the molecular congeners of CO2. Moreover, (bis-NHC)Si could even activate CO2 to afford the monomolecular silicon dicarbonate complex (bis-NHC)Si(CO3)2 via the formation of SiO and SiO2 complexes as intermediates. Furthermore, starting with a chelate bis-N-heterocyclic silylene supported [:GeCl]+, we developed two bis-N-heterocyclic silylene stabilized germylone→Fe(CO)4 complexes. Our achievements in the chemistry of metallylones demonstrate that the characteristic of monatomic zerovalent silicon and its analogues can provide novel reaction patterns for access to unprecedented species and even extends the series of functional groups of these elements. With this, we can envision that more interesting zerovalent complexes of the main-group elements with unprecedented reactivity will follow in the near future.

Abstract
An anionic ruthenocene with an η5-coordinating plumbole ligand was prepared and reacted with electrophiles to afford plumbole complexes.
An anionic ruthenocene derived from a dilithioplumbole complex was prepared. In the complex, the plumbole ligand coordinates a ruthenium atom in an η5-fashion, similar to the cyclopentadienyl ligand in ferrocene. The ruthenocene that has the aromatic π-ligand with the heaviest group 14 element reacted with electrophiles to afford the plumbole complexes wherein the plumbole ligands show deviation from planarity, in contrast to the planar plumbole ring in the anionic ruthenocene. The bent angles of the plumbole ligands are dependent on the substituents on the lead atoms. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that the plumbole complexes are oxidized more easily than the corresponding stannole complexes.
