A pnictogen of peculiar posture.

چکیده
In 2001, Bridgeman et al. synthesized a rare species having a T-shaped phosphorus atom centering an organometallic cluster, [{Cp(OC)2Mo}2PMn(CO)4]. Our DFT and extended Hückel electronic structure calculations indicate that the T-shaped geometry results from an unusual Mo-Mn-Mo three-center, two-electron bond that "ties" back the two-center, two-electron Mo-P bonds. Additional stabilization of the planar structure arises from Mo-P pi back-donation in a three-center, four-electron Mo-P-Mo pi bond. We find that this compound best resembles a mu2-phosphinidene system, and we also attempt to reconcile 18- and 8-electron rule considerations with the delocalized bonding in this intriguing cluster.

Cationic phosphorus-carbon-pnictogen cages isolobal to [C5R5]+.
The cationic cages nido-[C2Bu(t)2P2E]+ (E = As, Sb), which are isolobal to the cyclopentadienyl cation, adopt square based pyramidal structures with the heavy pnictogen atom at the apex; NMR and computational methods have been used to probe the dynamic behaviour of the complexes.
متن کاملPnictogen-directed synthesis of discrete disulfide macrocycles.
Cyclic disulfide macrocycles were rapidly synthesized cleanly and selectively from rigid dithiols via oxidation with iodine when activated by pnictogen additives (As and Sb). Macrocycles were confirmed by (1)H-NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. A p-xylyl-based disulfide trimer and tetramer crystallized in hollow, stacked columns stabilized by intermolecular, sulfur···sulfur close conta...
متن کاملSynthesis of III-V Nanocrystals by Co-reduction Reactions
This paper describes a co-reduction colloidal method for the synthesis of In-containing III-V nanocrystals (NCs) by using pnictogen halides (such as PCl3, AsCl3, and SbCl3) as the pnictogen-sources and superhydride (LiBH(C2H5)3) as the reducing agent. The syntheses were generally carried out in octadecene in the presence of fatty acids at ~250 oC. The as-synthesized InP NCs were quasi-monodispe...
