AI Article Synopsis

  • Pnictogen-mediated Lewis acidity is gaining attention in organic and supramolecular chemistry, especially concerning its application with arsenic, which has seen less research compared to phosphorus and antimony.
  • The study introduced new tetrachlorocatecholates from triarylarsines and analyzed their structures, electronic properties, and Lewis acidities through both experimental and computational methods.
  • This research represents the first comprehensive examination of how the structure of arsenic-based Lewis acids relates to their acidity, providing a basis for future comparisons with similar compounds of phosphorus and antimony.

Article Abstract

Pnictogen-mediated Lewis acidity is an emerging research subject in organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, . In contrast to the extensive studies on phosphorus and antimony, the diversity of arsenic-Lewis acids was quite limited. Herein, tetrachlorocatecholates of triarylarsines were newly synthesized. Their structures, electronic properties, and Lewis acidities were experimentally and computationally examined and compared with the corresponding phosphorus and antimony analogs. This is the first systematic study on the relationship between the structure and Lewis acidity of arsenic-mediated Lewis acids.
