Oxidative addition and reductive elimination are key steps in a wide variety of catalytic reactions mediated by transition-metal complexes. Historically, this reactivity has been considered to be the exclusive domain of d-block elements. However, this paradigm has changed in recent years with the demonstration of transition-metal-like reactivity by main-group compounds. This Review highlights the substantial progress achieved in the past decade for the activation of robust single bonds by main-group compounds and the more recently realized activation of multiple bonds by these elements. We also discuss the significant discovery of reversible activation of single bonds and distinct examples of reductive elimination at main-group element centers. The review consists of three major parts, starting with oxidative addition of single bonds, proceeding to cleavage of multiple bonds, and culminated by the discussion of reversible bond activation and reductive elimination. Within each subsection, the discussion is arranged according to the type of bond being cleaved or formed and considers elements from the left to the right of each period and down each group of the periodic table. The majority of results discussed in this Review come from the past decade; however, earlier reports are also included to ensure completeness.

主族元素中心的氧化加成和还原消除

氧化加成和还原消除是过渡金属络合物介导的各种催化反应的关键步骤。从历史上看，这种反应性一直被认为是d嵌段元素的排他域。然而，近年来随着主族化合物证明类似过渡金属的反应性，这一范例发生了变化。这篇综述重点介绍了过去十年中，主要基团化合物激活坚固的单键以及最近这些元素激活的多个键所取得的重大进展。我们还讨论了可逆激活单键的重大发现，以及在主族元素中心进行还原消除的独特例子。审查包括三个主要部分，从单键的氧化加成开始，进行多个键的断裂，并以可逆键激活和还原消除的讨论告终。在每个小节中，根据要裂解或形成的键的类型安排讨论，并从每个周期的左侧到右侧以及元素周期表的每个组下考虑元素。本评论中讨论的大多数结果来自过去十年。但是，还包括较早的报告以确保完整性。本评论中讨论的大多数结果来自过去十年。但是，还包括较早的报告以确保完整性。本评论中讨论的大多数结果来自过去十年。但是，还包括较早的报告以确保完整性。
