Herein we describe a new class of zwitterionic heavier pnictogen species with bis(NHC)borate as stabilizing ligands, enabling the isolation Sb and Bi in +1, +2, +3 oxidation states. Computational analysis pnictinidines revealed their cationis character, well unique electronic properties that contribute to nucleophilicity stability. These systems participate key organometallic transformations, including oxidative addition reductive elimination pro-cesses, display redox catalytic activity...
The classic pnictogen dichotomy stands for the great contrast between triply bonding very stable N2 molecules and its heavier congeners, which appear as dimers or oligomers. A banner example involves phosphorus it occurs in nature P4 instead of P2 , given weak π-bonds strong σ-bonds. synthetic value has brought Lewis bases metal coordination stabilization strategies. Herein, we discuss unrealized encapsulation alternative using well-known fullerenes' capability to form endohedral stabilize...
[(HMDS)(Cp*)Al]2Zn (1) is an intriguing trimetallic zinc aluminyl for which reactivity and quantum chemical studies remain elusive. Through a combined experimental computational approach 1 revisited showcasing its reversible formation reaction chemistry. As revealed computationally, the compound prone to eliminate transfer monomeric [AlCp*] – reminiscent of Schnöckels (AlCp*)4. Experimental validation provided based on NMR showcase one two equivalents possible with suitable trapping...
