Abstract
Over recent decades, numerous landmark discoveries in the area of main-group chemistry have been realised. Of most relevance to this thesis are the advances that have been made in regards to complexes incorporating the heavier group 14 elements in unusual co-ordination environments and oxidation states. This work has led us to a far greater understanding of discrepancies between the chemistries of these heavier elements and carbon. This chapter discusses these recent advances, and our more recent efforts towards this end, specifically regarding the heavier alkyne analogues, LEEL (L = a bulky ligand; E = Si-Pb).
