Organometallic Chemistry of the Group 15 Elements

The theme of this symposium is chemistry where transition-metal interactions with group 15 elements plays a central role. Interest in these kinds of interactions has been heightened by a resurgence in the chemistry of the main-group elements. However, the relationship between the transition metals and group 15 elements is long standing, harkening back to early organometallic systems supported by tertiary phosphines and to the use of amine ligands in seminal work on coordination complexes.
This topic remains current as metals complexes in biological and synthetic systems are known to
- activate and functionalize elemental forms of the group 15 elements, notably nitrogen and phosphorus.
- promote the formation of pnictogen-element bonds in stoichiometric or catalytic reactions that afford fine chemicals, biological molecules, or new materials.
- provide enatiomerically enriched products through chirality transfer from frequently pnictogen-derived ancillary ligands.
- activate pnictogen-hydrogen bonds for synthesis and catalysis.
- engage in high-energy processes often supported by ligands that incorporate group 15 elements.
