Among main group (groups 1, 2, 13–17) alkyl derivatives QR n, where n is the standard bonding number for Q (see lambda convention), the group 14 derivatives QR 4 are notable in being electron-precise: they are neither electron-deficient (having fewer electrons than an octet and tending to be Lewis acidic at Q and usually existing as ...
A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula −C n H 2n−1. [2] Typically an alkyl is a part of a larger molecule. In structural formulae, the symbol R is used to designate a generic (unspecified) alkyl group. The smallest alkyl group is methyl, with the formula −CH 3 ...
Most homoleptic organo-main group compounds adopt a characteristic oxidation state: RLi, R 2 Be, R 3 B/R 3 Al, R 4 Si, R 3 P, R 2 S. Members where the simplest stoichiometry violates the octet rule often aggregate by formation of bridging alkyl groups. When the alkyl group bridges two main group elements, the bonding is called three-center two ...
Group 14 carbene analogs do not form hybrid orbitals but instead retain (ns) 2 (np) 2 electron configuration due to the increasing s p gap for larger elements. Two electrons remain in an s-orbital and therefore their compounds have exclusively singlet ground states and not the triplet ground state which can be observed in carbenes depending on ...

Dec. 18—MOSES LAKE — Moses Lake's Group 14 BAM-2 plant began installing equipment in its first module, topped out its second module, and is on track to ship its SCC55 silicon-carbon composite ...
A trivalent group 14 radical (also known as a trivalent tetrel radical) is a molecule that contains a group 14 element (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) with three bonds and a free radical, having the general formula of R 3 E•. Such compounds can be categorized into three different types, depending on the structure (or equivalently the orbital in which ...
Some metal alkyls feature agostic interactions between a C-H bond on the alkyl group and the metal. Such interactions are especially common for complexes of early transition metals in their highest oxidation states. [18] One determinant of the kinetic stability of metal-alkyl complexes is the presence of hydrogen at the position beta to the metal.
