This review covers the recent (1995–2003) functional group transformations incorporating a chalcogen (oxygen, sulfur, selenium, or tellurium) and a silicon, germanium, boron, or metal. Specifically, functions bearing oxygen, sulfur, selenium or tellurium with a silicon, germanium, and boron are reviewed in the first section. Similarly, functions containing a chalcogen along with metals such as lithium, sodium or potassium, magnesium, titanium or aluminum, copper or zinc, mercury, tin, lead, indium, or gallium are covered in a second section. Notably, novel examples of compounds in which a chalcogen and a silicon, germanium, boron, or metal are attached to a sp3 carbon atom are provided in the 1990s.

Narayan G. Bhat was born in Navilgon, India. He studied at Karnatak University, India, where he obtained a B.Sc. in 1976 and an M.Sc. in 1978. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1982 from Pune University, India (for the work carried out at the National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India) under the direction of Dr. G. H. Kulkarni. After spending 8 years (1982–1990) as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the laboratory of Professor Herbert C. Brown, 1979 Nobel laureate in chemistry, at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA, he joined Ethyl Corporation, Baton Rouge, LA. After working at the Indian Institute of Science as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and as an instructor of organic chemistry at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, he joined the University of Texas-Pan American, Edinburg, Texas in 1996 as an Assistant Professor of chemistry. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of chemistry and his scientific interests include all aspects of organic chemistry, in particular organoborane chemistry, selective organometallic syntheses, and bioorganometallic chemistry. Currently, his research activities at the University of Texas-Pan American are supported by the Robert A. Welch Foundation of Texas and the National Institute of Health.
