Heavy cyclopropenes of Si, Ge, and Sn- a new challenge in the chemistry of Group 14 elements
Article Abstract:
The authors review the publications on small ring system consisting of Group 14 elements, such as silicon, germanium and tin, which are heavier than carbon. The topics of interest include the synthesis and reactivity of cyclotrimetallenes, the preparation of these compounds starting from cyclotrigermenes, and the analysis of different cyclotrimetallene reactions with the emphasis on cycloaddition and oxidation reactions.
