A bidentate pnictogen bonding host-system based on 1,8-diethynylanthracene was synthesized by a selective tin-antimony exchange reaction and investigated regarding its ability to act as a Lewis acidic host component for the complexation of Lewis basic or anionic guests. In this work, the novel C≡C-Sb(C F ) unit was established to study the potential of antimony(III) sites as representatives for the scarcely explored pnictogen bonding donors. The capability of this partly fluorinated host system was investigated towards halide anions (Cl , Br , I ), dimethyl chalcogenides Me Y (Y=O, S, Se, Te), and nitrogen heterocycles (pyridine, pyrimidine). Insights into the adduct formation behavior as well as the bonding situation of such E⋅⋅⋅Sb-C moieties were obtained in solution by means of NMR spectroscopy, in the solid state by X-ray diffraction, by elemental analyses, and by computational methods (DFT, QTAIM, IQA), respectively.

Inorganic semiconductors based on heavy pnictogen cations (Sb and Bi) have gained significant attention as potential nontoxic and stable alternatives to lead-halide perovskites for solar cell applications. A limitation of these novel materials, which is being increasingly commonly found, is carrier localization, which substantially reduces mobilities and diffusion lengths. Herein, CuSbSe is investigated and discovered to have delocalized free carriers, as shown through optical pump terahertz probe spectroscopy and temperature-dependent mobility measurements.

Article Synopsis
- * The study evaluated interaction energy through comparisons with spectroscopic data, geometric properties, and other factors to uncover correlations, particularly focusing on the C═O stretching frequency and nuclear magnetic resonance changes.
- * While the interaction energy can be estimated from experimental measurements, standard AIM measurements correlate less effectively, and the σ-hole depth on the Lewis acid does not strongly relate to bond strength due to the limitations of electrostatic metrics.

Halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, and tetrel bonds in organocatalysis have gained noticeable attention. In this work, carbon-bromide bond activation in the Ritter reaction by bidentate imidazole-type halogen, chalcogen, pnicogen, and tetrel bond donors was studied by density functional theory. All of the above four kinds of catalysts exhibited excellent catalytic performance.

The reactivity of the V[triple bond, length as m-dash]C Bu multiple bonds in the complex (dBDI)V[triple bond, length as m-dash]C Bu(OEt) (C) (dBDI = ArNC(CH)CHC(CH)NAr, Ar = 2,6- PrCH) with unsaturated substrates such as N[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR (R = Ad or Ph) and P[triple bond, length as m-dash]CAd leads to the formation of rare 3d transition metal compounds featuring α-aza-vanadacyclobutadiene, (dBDI)V(κ- , - BuC(R)N) (R = Ad, 1; R = Ph, 2) and β-phospha-vanadacyclobutadiene moieties, (dBDI)V(κ- , - BuPAd) (3). Complexes 1-3 are characterized using multinuclear and multidimensional NMR spectroscopy, including the preparation of the 50% N-enriched isotopologue (dBDI)V(κ- , - BuCC(Ad)N) (1-N). Solid-state structural analysis is used to determine the dominant resonance structures of these unique pnictogen-based vanadacyclobutadienes.

The synthesis and isolation of a bismuth-based analogue of the venerable triphenylphosphine oxide (PhPO) has remained a chimera to synthetic chemists for many years, due to its predicted high reactivity and instability. Through the hydrolysis of a cationic fluorotriarylbismuthonium(V) salt, we report here the isolation of unique hydroxytriarylbismuth(V) complexes, which served as precursor for the formation of the elusive monomeric triarylbismuthine oxide DippBi=O. Combined spectroscopic, crystallographic and computational studies provided insight into the bonding situation of the first monomeric triorganobismuth oxide complex.
