title: New Avenues in s-Block Chemistry: Beryllium(0) Complexes.
abstract: A rarely used element: The chemistry of ligand-stabilized complexes in oxidation state zero was recently extended to the s block with the discovery of a Be1complex stabilized by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene. Combined experimental and theoretical studies provided conclusive evidence that the complex contains beryllium(0).
