DESCRIPTION:Unleashing New Patterns of Reactivity with Electron-Rich Main 
 Group Compounds\n\nThe development of main group compounds for small molec
 ule activation\, traditionally the domain of transition metals\, is a rapi
 dly growing area. p-Block systems can activate diverse substrates and are 
 increasingly applied in heavy-metal-free catalysis. Our research targets g
 roup 13 and 14 metals with frontier orbitals suited for cooperative activa
 tion of H₂\, NH₃\, and CO\, with reactivity tuned via HOMO–LUMO ener
 gies. Aluminyl systems (AlX₂⁻) show unusual reactivity due to high nuc
 leophilicity\, including arene C–H activation\, CO homologation\, and un
 precedented benzene C–C bond cleavage. Their electron-rich nature also e
 nables use as metallo-ligands in bimetallic compounds. Recent Be(I) specie
 s act as strong σ-donor ligands\, opening access to novel valence states 
 and reactivity in d-block metals.
