New horizons in low oxidation state group 2 metal chemistry
Bastian Rösch, Sjoerd Harder
Abstract
Although the chemistry of the group 2 metals has always been dominated by their +II oxidation state, there is an increasing interest in their low-valent complexes. Recent developments include zero-valent complexes and observation of N 2 fixation.
