      abstract = {This book presents an in-depth study into the utility of  ℓℓ-bond metathesis in Group 2 mediated reactivity. A  comprehensive introduction defines the state of the art in  both Group 2 mediated catalysis and dehydrocoupling.  Structural investigations giving rise to a range of mixed  s-block metal hydrides including a remarkable  dodecabimetallic decahydride are then described. Subsequent  extensive mechanistic work focussing on both  silicon-nitrogen and boron-nitrogen dehydrocoupling gives  insights into both congeneric effects down Group 2 and  ligand effects centring upon magnesium. These studies show  the striking effects of these factors, as well as the  electronic nature of the hydridic coupling partner.℗ℓ  Finally, the unprecedented introduction of single-electron  transfer steps into Group 2 catalytic manifolds is  described. The use of the stable radical TEMPO to induce  single-electron transfer to substituents bound to Group 2  centres coupled with ℓℓ-bond metathesis allows a novel  hydrogen release from silanes.},
