As a Humboldt grantee as well as a JSPS grantee, he spent the academic year 2008–2010 at the Technische Universitat¨ Berlin. In 2010, he established an independent research group within the framework of the Sofja Kovalevskaja program at the Technische Universitat¨ Berlin. Since 2015, he has been on the faculty at the Technische Universita¨ Munchen,¨ where he holds a professorship of silicon chemistry. His current research interests focus on the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity investigation of compounds containing low-valent main group elements (Group 13, 14, and 15 elements) with unusual structures and unique electronic properties, with the goal of finding novel applications in the synthesis and catalysis. vii inorganics Editorial Coordination Chemistry of Silicon Shigeyoshi Inoue WACKER-Institute of Silicon Chemistry and Catalysis Research Center, Technische Universität München, Lichtenbergstraße 4, 85748 Garching, Germany; [email protected]; Tel.: +49-89-289-13596 Received: 3 January 2019; Accepted: 7 January 2019; Published: 14 January 2019 It is with great pleasure to welcome readers to this Special Issue of Inorganics, devoted to “Coordination Chemistry of Silicon”. Investigations into silicon compounds continue to afford a wealth of novel complexes, with unusual structures and brand-new reactivities. In fact, the ongoing quest for silicon complexes with novel properties has led to a large number of silicon compounds, that contain various types of ligands or substituents. Use of the divergent coordination behavior of silicon to construct sophisticated low- and hyper-valent silicon complexes makes it possible to change their electronic structures and properties. Therefore, progress of the coordination chemistry of silicon can be the key concept for the design and development of next generation silicon compound-based applications. This Special Issue is associated with the most recent advances in coordination chemistry of silicon with transition metals, as well as main group elements, including the stabilization of low-valent silicon species through the coordination of electron-donor ligands, such as N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and their derivatives [1,2]. This Special Issue is also dedicated to the development of novel synthetic methodologies, structural elucidations, bonding analyses, and possible applications in catalysis or chemical transformations, using related organosilicon compounds [3]. Besides, recent years have witnessed great research efforts in silicon-based polymer chemistry, as well as silicon surface chemistry, which have become increasingly important for unveiling the correlations between nanoscopic structural features and macroscopic material properties, including the coordination behavior at silicon.
