Abstract
A simplified and stepwise synthetic method for producing sterically congested unsymmetrical 1,2-dicarbonyl radicals was successfully demonstrated including detailed characterization of each radical cation. Using this approach, an aryl- and N-heterocyclic carbene-substituted 1,2-dicarbonyl radical in its neutral form is generated, revealing the stabilizing role of N-heterocyclic carbenes.

Abstract
Distonic radical cations (DRCs) with spatially separated charge and radical sites are expected to show both radical and cationic reactivity at different sites within one molecule. However, such "dual" reactivity has rarely been observed in the condensed phase. Herein we report the isolation of crystalline 1λ2,3λ2-1-phosphonia-3-phosphinyl-cyclohex-4-enes 2a,b˙+, which can be considered delocalized DRCs and were completely characterized by crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational methods. These DRCs contain a radical and cationic site with seven and six valence electrons, respectively, which are both stabilized via conjugation, yet remain spatially separated. They exhibit reactivity that differs from that of conventional radical cations (CRCs); specifically they show sequential radical and cationic reactivity at separated sites within one molecule in solution.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of carbene-stabilized 1,3-diaza-2,4-diphosphabutenes CAACMePNPNCAACMe 4CAAC (CAACMe = 1-[2,6-bis(isopropyl)phenyl]-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-2-pyrrolidinylidene) and IPrPNPNIPr 4NHC (IPr = 1,3-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene). The bonding in both systems is defined by a delocalized polar covalent π-system, with 4NHC exhibiting increased conjugation relative to 4CAAC. The nature of the stabilizing carbene also influences the redox properties of the compound, with 4CAAC undergoing potassium-mediated reduction to the closed-shell P-P bonded dimer K252, which upon treatment with Kryptofix-2,2,2 converts to the transient radical anion [Kcrypt][5], the formal one-electron reduction product of 4CAAC. In contrast, 4NHC undergoes reversible one-electron oxidation to the stable radical cation [6NHC][SbF6]. Computational and spectroscopic analyses of both radical species are suggestive of unevenly delocalized spin, with the bulk of the spin density residing on phosphorus in both cases.

Abstract
Quantum chemical studies using density functional theory were carried out for the (L)4C4 complexes with L = cAAC, DAC, NHC, SNHC, MIC1, and MIC2. The results show that the title complexes are highly stable with respect to dissociation, (L)4C4 → C4 + 4L. However, their stability with respect to (L)4C4 → 2(L)2C2 is crucial for the assessment of their experimental viability. The (L)4C4 complexes with L = cAAC and DAC dissociate exergonically at room temperature into two (L)2C2 units. In contrast, the other (L)4C4 complexes with L = NHC, SNHC, MIC1, and MIC2 are thermochemically stable with respect to dissociation, (L)4C4 → 2(L)2C2. The computed adiabatic ionization potentials of (L)4C4 complexes with L = NHC, MIC1, and MIC2 are lower than those for the cesium atom. Particularly, (MIC1)4C4 and (MIC2)4C4 will very easily lose electrons to form cationic complexes. The SNHC ligand is the best for the experimental realization of (L)4C4 complexes, followed by NHC. The bonding analysis using charge and energy decomposition methods suggests that the (L)3C4-CL bond can be best described as a typical electron-sharing double bond with a strong σ-bond and a weaker π-bond. Therefore, the core bonding pictures in the title complexes resemble a [4]radialene. Larger substituents at the carbene ligands enhance the stability of the complexes (L)4C4 against dissociation.

Abstract
Gallium phosphide is a three-dimensional polymeric material of the hetero-diatomic GaP unit, which has a wurtzite type structure, and captivating application as a light emitting diode (LED). As a result, there is a constant search for suitable precursors to synthesise GaP-based materials. However, the corresponding monomeric species is exotic in nature due to the expected Ga[triple bond, length as m-dash]P multiple bond. Herein, we report on the theoretical studies of stability, chemical bonding, and reactivity of the monomeric gallium phosphides with two donor base ligands having tuneable binding energies. We have performed detailed investigations using density functional theory at three different levels (BP86/def2-TZVPP, B3LYP/def2-TZVPP, M06-2X/def2-TZVPP), QTAIM and EDA-NOCV (BP86-D3(BJ)/TZ2P, M06-2X/TZ2P) to analyse various ligand-stabilised GaP monomers, which revealed the synthetic viability of such species in the presence of stable singlet carbenes, e.g., cAAC, and NHC as ligands [cAAC = cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene, NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene] due to the larger bond dissociation energy compared to a phosphine ligand (PMe3). The calculated bond dissociation energies between a pair of ligands and the monomeric GaP unit are found to be in the range of 87 to 137 kcal mol-1, predicting their possible syntheses in the laboratory. Further, the reactivity of such species with metal carbonyls [Fe(CO)4, and Ni(CO)3] have been theoretically investigated.

Abstract
New strategies for the design and synthesis of stable organic radicals without additives are highly desirable. Herein, we design a series of donor-acceptor structured triarylphosphines and disclose the fast color change triggered by UV-irradiation in the crystalline state. Photoinduced organic radicals are undoubtedly verified and proved to be the reason for the color change by time-dependent and quantitative electron paramagnetic resonance analysis, X-ray crystallographic analysis, and theoretical calculations. It is revealed that the intrinsic symmetry breaking of peripheral architecture helps to form continuous molecular chains by donor-acceptor counterpart pairing. Intermolecular electron-transfer occurs among molecular chains and results in radical ion pairs upon photoirradiation.

Abstract
The development of ligands capable of effectively stabilizing highly reactive main-group species has led to the experimental realization of a variety of systems with fascinating properties. In this work, we computationally investigate the electronic, structural, energetic, and bonding features of proximity-enforced group 13-15 homodimers stabilized by a rigid expanded pincer ligand based on the 1,8-naphthyridine (napy) core. We show that the redox-active naphthyridine diimine (NDI) ligand enables a wide variety of structural motifs and element-element interaction modes, the latter ranging from isolated, element-centered lone pairs (e.g., E = Si, Ge) to cases where through-space π bonds (E = Pb), element-element multiple bonds (E = P, As) and biradical ground states (E = N) are observed. Our results hint at the feasibility of NDI-E2 species as viable synthetic targets, highlighting the versatility and potential applications of napy-based ligands in main-group chemistry.

Abstract
An extended class of stable mesoionic N-heterocyclic imines (mNHIs), containing a highly polarized exocyclic imine moiety, were synthesized. The calculated proton affinities (PA) and experimentally determined Tolman electronic parameters (TEPs) reveal that these synthesized mNHIs have the highest basicity and donor ability among NHIs reported so far. The superior nucleophilicity of newly designed mNHIs was utilized in devising a strategy to incorporate CO2 as a bridging unit under reductive conditions to couple inert primary amides. This strategy was further extended to hetero-couplings between amide and amine using CO2 . These hitherto unknown catalytic transformations were introduced in the diversification of various biologically active drug molecules under metal-free conditions. The underlying mechanism was explored by performing a series of control experiments, characterizing key intermediates using spectroscopic and crystallographic techniques.

Abstract
Modulating the electronic structures of main group element compounds is crucial to control their chemical reactivity. Herein we report on the synthesis, frontier orbital modulation, and one-electron oxidation of two L(X)Ga-substituted diphosphenes [L(X)GaP]2 (X = Cl 2a, Br 2b; L = HC[C(Me)N(Ar)]2, Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3). Photolysis of L(Cl)GaPCO 1 gave [L(Cl)GaP]22a, which reacted with Me3SiBr with halide exchange to [L(Br)GaP]22b. Reactions with MeNHC (MeNHC = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) gave the corresponding carbene-coordinated complexes L(X)GaPP(MeNHC)Ga(X)L (X = Cl 3a, Br 3b). DFT calculations revealed that the carbene coordination modulates the frontier orbitals (i.e. HOMO/LUMO) of diphosphenes 2a and 2b, thereby affecting the reactivity of 3a and 3b. In marked contrast to diphosphenes 2a and 2b, the cyclic voltammograms (CVs) of the carbene-coordinated complexes each show one reversible redox event at E 1/2 = -0.65 V (3a) and -0.36 V (3b), indicating their one-electron oxidation to the corresponding radical cations as was confirmed by reactions of 3a and 3b with the [FeCp2][B(C6F5)4], yielding the radical cations [L(X)GaPP(MeNHC)Ga(X)L]B(C6F5)4 (X = Cl 4a, Br 4b). The unpaired spin in 4a (79%) and 4b (80%) is mainly located at the carbene-uncoordinated phosphorus atoms as was revealed by DFT calculations and furthermore experimentally proven in reactions with n Bu3SnH, yielding the diphosphane cations [L(X)GaPHP(MeNHC)Ga(X)L]B(C6F5)4 (X = Cl 5a, Br 5b). Compounds 2-5 were fully characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as by single crystal X-ray diffraction (sc-XRD), and compounds 4a and 4b were further studied by EPR spectroscopy, while their bonding nature was investigated by DFT calculations.

Abstract
A theoretical investigation of ligand-stabilized MX diatomics (M = group 13, X = group 15 element) with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands has been carried out to assess bonding and electronic structure. Binding of two ligands in the form L-MX-L is generally preferred over binding of a single ligand as L-MX or MX-L. Binding of carbene donor ligands is predicted to be thermodynamically favorable for all the systems, and is very favorable for the lighter group 15 systems (nitrogen and phosphorus). Detailed analysis of the bonding in these complexes has been carried out with energy decomposition analysis (EDA). In all cases, the carbene to boron and carbene to nitrogen bonding is described as an electron-sharing double bond with both σ and π bonding interactions. For the heavier elements, bonding to C (except for PC interactions) is best described as a donor-acceptor σ single bond.

Abstract
![]()
In this computational study, we report on the stability
of cyclic
phosphinyl radicals with an aim for a systematical assessment of stabilization
effects. The radical stabilization energies (RSEs) were calculated
using isodesmic reactions for a large number of carbocyclic radicals
possessing different ring sizes and grades of unsaturation. In general,
the RSE values range from −1.2 to −14.0 kcal·mol–1, and they show practically no correlation with the
spin populations at the P-centers. The RSE values correlate with the
reaction Gibbs free energies calculated for the dimerization of the
studied simple radicals. Therefore, the more easily accessible RSE
values offer a cost-effective estimation of global stability in a
straightforward manner. To explore the effect of unsaturation on the
RSE values, delocalization energies were determined using appropriate
isodesmic reactions. Introducing unsaturations beside the P-center
into the backbone of the rings leads to an additive increase in the
magnitude of the delocalization energy (∼10, 20, and 30 kcal·mol–1, respectively, for radicals with one, two, and three
C=C bonds in the conjugation). Parallelly, the spin populations
at the P-centers also dwindle gradually by ∼0.1 e in the same
order, indicating that the lone electron delocalizes over the π-system.
Radicals containing exocyclic C=C π-bonds were also investigated,
and all of these radicals have rather similar stabilities independently
of the ring size, outlining the primary importance of the two exocyclic
π-bonds in the conjugation. Among the radicals involved in our
study, those with the best electronic stabilization are the unsaturated
three-, five-, six-, and seven-membered rings containing the maximum
number of conjugated vinyl fragments. The largest delocalization energy
of 31.5 kcal·mol–1 and the lowest obtained
spin population of 0.665 e were found for the fully unsaturated seven-membered
radical (phosphepin derivative). Importantly, the electronic stabilization
effects alone are insufficient for stabilizing the radicals in monomeric
forms epitomized by the exothermic dimerization energies (−40
to −58 kcal·mol–1). Therefore, it is
essential to apply sterically demanding bulky substituents on the
α-C-atoms. Tweaking the steric congestion enabled us to propose
radicals that are expected to be stable against dimerization and,
consequently, may be realistic target species for synthetic investigations.
The effects contributing to the stability of radicals having sterically
encumbered substituents have also been explored. To systematically evaluate the stabilization
effects, the
radical stabilization energies of various carbocyclic phosphinyl radicals
having saturated backbones or unsaturation(s) in either endocyclic
or exocyclic manner have been determined and analyzed. As the electronic
stabilization is alone insufficient to hamper the possible dimerization
of these species, the effect of several sterically demanding substituents
has been explored for the congeners with best electronic stabilizations,
thus enabling us to propose synthetically accessible candidates in
the future.

Abstract
Phosphorus mononitride (PN) only has a fleeting existence on Earth, and molecular precursors for the release of this molecule under mild conditions in solution have remained elusive. Here we report the synthesis of an anthracene-based precursor-an anthracene moiety featuring an azidophosphine bridge across its central ring-that dissociates into dinitrogen, anthracene and P≡N in solution with a first-order half-life of roughly 30 min at room temperature. Heated under reduced pressure, this azidophosphine-anthracene precursor decomposes in an explosive fashion at around 42 °C, as demonstrated in a molecular-beam mass spectrometry study. The precursor is also shown to serve as a PN transfer reagent in the synthesis of an Fe-NP coordination complex, through ligand exchange with its Fe-N2 counterpart. The terminal N-bonded complex was found to be energetically preferred, compared to its P-bonded linkage isomer, owing to a significant covalent Fe-pnictogen bond character and an associated less unfavourable Pauli repulsion in the metal-ligand interaction.

Abstract
Stable heavy main group element radicals are challenging synthetic targets. Although several strategies have been developed to stabilize such odd-electron species, the number of heavier pnictogen-centered radicals is limited. We report on a series of two-coordinated pnictogen-centered radical cations [(MecAAC)EGa(Cl)L][B(C6F5)4] (MecAAC = [H2C(CMe2)2NDipp]C; Dipp = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3; E = As 1, Sb 2, Bi 3; L = HC[C(Me)NDipp]2) synthesized by one-electron oxidation of L(Cl)Ga-substituted pnictinidenes (MecAAC)EGa(Cl)L (E = As I, Sb II, Bi III). 1-3 were characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction (sc-XRD) (1, 2), while quantum chemical calculations support their description as carbene-coordinated pnictogen-centered radical cations. The low thermal stability of 3 enables access to metalloid bismuth clusters as shown by formation of [{LGa(Cl)}3Bi6][B(C6F5)4] (4).

Abstract
Synthesis of a testbed of P-H functional diheterophospholane complexes (3 and 6a,b) with no or little steric bulk at the α-position was achieved using [NEt4][WH(CO)5] as a combined reductant and complexation reagent. Reaction with TEMPO leads to P-OTEMP substituted tungsten complexes (4 and 7a,b) possessing different thermostabilities towards N-O bond cleavage. The transient phosphanoxyl complexes obtained were used for the polymerisation of styrene and acrylonitrile. DFT calculations were performed on the formation of various open-shell complexes and Loewdin spin density distributions.

Abstract
Herein, we report on the stability and bonding analysis of donor-base-stabilized monomeric AlP species (1-6) of the general formula (L)P-Al(L'); [L = cAACMe, L' = cAACMe, NHCMe, PMe3, (N i Pr2)2 (1-4); L = L' = NHCMe, PMe3 (5 and 6); cAAC = cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene; NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene]. Energy decomposition analysis coupled with natural orbitals for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV) analysis indicates the synthetic viability of this class of species, stabilized in their singlet ground state, in the laboratory. The CL-P bond is found to be a partial double bond (WBI ∼ 1.45), while the CL/PL-Al bond is a single bond (WBI ∼ 0.42-0.69). These bonds are mostly covalent or dative σ/π bonds depending upon the ligands attached. The central P-Al bond is an electron-sharing covalent polar single bond (WBI ∼ 0.80; P-Al) for 1-4 and a dative σ bond for 5 and 6 (WBI ∼ 0.89-0.93; P-Al). The calculated intrinsic interaction energies of the central P-Al bonds are found to be in the range from -116 to -216 kcal/mol (1-3 and 5 and 6). This value is the highest for compound 3, possibly due to the push and pull effects from the ligands PMe3 and cAAC, respectively.

Abstract
The donor ligand bonded singlet (L)2Si2C containing a bent Si2C unit in the middle has been studied by theoretical quantum mechanical calculations (NBO, QTAIM, EDA-NOCV analyses) [L = cAAC, NHC, Me3P]. EDA-NOCV analysis suggests that this Si2C is possible to stabilize by a pair of donor base ligands. The bond dissociation energy of the Si2C fragment is endothermic (85-45 kcal/mol) with a sufficiently high intrinsic interaction energy (ΔEint = -89 to -48 kcal/mol). Fifty percent of the total stabilization energy arises from electrostatic interactions, and nearly 45% is contributed by covalent orbital interaction between Si2C and (L)2 fragments in their singlet states. 75-80% of the orbital interaction energy is contributed by two sets of σ-donation L → SiCSi ← L. The π-back-donation is only 15-10%. The dispersion energy is not negligible (3-5%). The interaction energy is highest for 1 (L = cAAC) among three compounds. Additionally, (cAAC)2Si2C-Ni(CO)3 (4) has been studied. The interaction energy between 1 and Ni(CO)3 is nearly 61 kcal/mol with the major contribution coming from donation of electron cloud from electron rich Si2C backbone to empty hybrid orbital of Ni(CO)3 fragment. A sufficiently strong π-back-donation from (OC)3Ni to Si2C has also been identified.

Abstract
Various compounds are known for transition metals in their formal zero-oxidation state, while similar compounds of main-group elements are recently realized and limited to only a few examples. Lewis-base-stabilized mono and diatomic molecular species (B2, C, C2, Si, Si2, Ge, Ge2, Sn, P2, As2, Sb2) represent groundbreaking examples of main-group compounds with formally zero-oxidation state. In recent years, the isolation of low-valent main-group compounds has attracted increasing attention of both experimental and theoretical chemists. This is not only due to their fascinating electronic structures and exceptional reactivities, but also their use as valuable precursors for the synthesis of exotic yet important chemical species. This has led to a better understanding of the intricate balance of the donor-acceptor properties of the ligand(s) used to stabilize elements in a formally zero-oxidation state. Owing to the unusual oxidation state of the central element, many compounds containing formally zero-valent elements can efficiently activate otherwise inert small molecules. This review describes the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of reported mono and diatomic formal zero-oxidation state main-group compounds. This review also emphasizes the comparative description of systems where different ligands are used to stabilize an element in its formal zero-oxidation state.

Abstract
11-Azido-9,10-dihydro-9,10-phosphanoanthracene (N3PA) has been demonstrated recently as a transfer reagent for molecular phosphorus mononitride (PN) because it easily dissociates at room temperature into dinitrogen (N2), PN, and anthracene (A). Here we report further reactivity studies of the N3PA molecule including strain-promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with cyclooctyne and Staudinger-type reactivity. Calculations at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ//PBE0-D3(BJ)/cc-pVTZ level of theory indicate that the click reaction is faster than the dissociation of N3PA. The Staudinger-type reactivity enabled transfer of the NPA fragment to a base-stabilized silylene. The previously reported intermediate of vanadium trisanilide with an NPA ligand could be isolated in 61% yield and structurally characterized in a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment. In line with the previously reported phosphinidene reactivity of the transient vanadium phosphorus mononitride complex, thermolysis or irradiation of the complex leads to A elimination and formation of the corresponding vanadium PN dimer or trimer, respectively.

Abstract
Isolation of cyclic (alkyl) amino carbenes (cAACs) in 2005 has been a major achievement in the field of stable carbenes due to their better electronic properties. cAACs and bicyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbene (BicAAC) in essence are the most electrophilic as well as nucleophilic carbenes are known till date. Due to their excellent electronic properties in terms of nucleophilic and electrophilic character, cAACs have been utilized in different areas of chemistry, including stabilization of low valent main group and transition metal species, activation of small molecules, and catalysis. The applications of cAACs in catalysis have opened up new avenues of research in the field of cAAC chemistry. This review summarizes the major results of cAAC chemistry published until August 2021.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis, characterisation, and application of three aluminium alkyl complexes, [κ2-{NHIRP(Ph)NDipp}AlMe2] (R = Dipp (2a), Mes (2b); tBu (2c), Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, Mes = mesityl, and tBu = tert-butyl), supported by unsymmetrical imino-phosphanamide [NHIRP(Ph)NDipp]− [R = Dipp (1a), Mes (1b), tBu (1c)] ligands as molecular precursors for the catalytic synthesis of guanidines using carbodiimides and primary amines. All the imino-phosphanamide ligands 1a, 1b and 1c were prepared in good yield from the corresponding N-heterocyclic imine (NHI) with phenylchloro-2,6-diisopropylphenylphosphanamine, PhP(Cl)NHDipp. The aluminium alkyl complexes 2a, 2b and 2c were obtained in good yield upon completion of the reaction between trimethyl aluminium and the protic ligands 1a, 1b and 1c in a 1 : 1 molar ratio in toluene via the elimination of methane, respectively. The molecular structures of the protic ligands 1b and 1c and the aluminium complexes 2a, 2b and 2c were established via single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes 2a, 2b and 2c were tested as pre-catalysts for the hydroamination/guanylation reaction of carbodiimides with aryl amines to afford guanidines at ambient temperature. All the aluminium complexes exhibited a high conversion with 1.5 mol% catalyst loading and broad substrate scope with a wide functional group tolerance during the guanylation reaction. We also proposed the most plausible mechanism, involving the formation of catalytically active three-coordinate Al species as the active pre-catalyst. Three aluminium alkyl complexes, [κ2-{ImRNP(Ph)NDipp}AlMe2] (2a–2c), supported by unsymmetrical imino-phosphanamide were synthesised and utilised as competent precatalysts for the hydroamination of carbodiimides under ambient conditions.![]()

Radical anions 3 and 4 were characterized by EPR, UV-vis and single crystal X-ray diffraction, while quantum chemical calculations gave deeper insight into the nature of the chemical bonding.

Abstract
Polyhedral nitrogen containing molecules such as prismatic P3N3 - a hitherto elusive isovalent species of prismane (C6H6) - have attracted particular attention from the theoretical, physical, and synthetic chemistry communities. Here we report on the preparation of prismatic P3N3 [1,2,3-triaza-4,5,6-triphosphatetracyclo[2.2.0.02,6.03,5]hexane] by exposing phosphine (PH3) and nitrogen (N2) ice mixtures to energetic electrons. Prismatic P3N3 was detected in the gas phase and discriminated from its isomers utilizing isomer selective, tunable soft photoionization reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry during sublimation of the ices along with an isomer-selective photochemical processing converting prismatic P3N3 to 1,2,4-triaza-3,5,6-triphosphabicyclo[2.2.0]hexa-2,5-diene (P3N3). In prismatic P3N3, the P–P, P–N, and N–N bonds are lengthened compared to those in, e.g., diphosphine (P2H4), di-anthracene stabilized phosphorus mononitride (PN), and hydrazine (N2H4), by typically 0.03–0.10 Å. These findings advance our fundamental understanding of the chemical bonding of poly-nitrogen and poly-phosphorus systems and reveal a versatile pathway to produce exotic, ring-strained cage molecules. High-nitrogen content polyhedral molecules are of fundamental interest for theory and for synthesis applications. The authors, using isomer selective, tunable soft photoionization reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry, identify the formation of a hitherto elusive prismatic P3N3 molecule during sublimation of PH3 and N2 ice mixtures exposed to energetic electrons.

Abstract
Stable organic radicals have been of great academic interest not only in the context of fundamental understanding of reactive intermediates but also because of their numerous applications as functional materials. Apart from the early examples of triphenylmethyl and TEMPO derivatives, reports on air- and water-stable organic radicals are scarce, and their development remains a challenge. Herein, we present the design and synthesis of a novel organic radical based on a 1,2-dicarbonyl scaffold supported by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). The presented radical cations exhibit remarkable stability toward various harsh conditions, such as the presence of reactive chemicals (reductants, oxidants, strong acids, and bases) or high temperatures, by far exceeding the stability of triphenylmethyl and TEMPO radicals. In addition, physiological conditions including aqueous buffer and blood serum are tolerated. The steric and electronic stabilization provided by the two NHC moieties enabled the successful design of the highly stable radical.

Abstract
Fluoro- and chloro-phosphasilynes [X-Si[triple bond, length as m-dash]P (X = F, Cl)] belong to a class of illusive chemical species which are expected to have Si[triple bond, length as m-dash]P multiple bonds. Theoretical investigations of the bonding and stability of the corresponding Lewis base-stabilized species (L')PSi(X)(L) [L' = cAACMe (cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene); L = cAACMe, NHCMe (N-heterocyclic carbene), PMe3, aAAC (acyclic alkyl(amino) carbene); X = Cl, F] have been studied using the energy decomposition analysis-natural orbitals for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV) method. The variation of the ligands (L) on the Si-atom leads to different bonding scenarios depending on their σ-donation and π-back acceptance properties. The ligands with higher lying HOMOs prefer profoundly different bonding scenarios than the ligands with lower lying HOMOs. The type of halogen (Cl or F) on the Si-atom was also found to have a significant influence on the overall bonding scenario. The reasonably higher value and endergonic nature of the dissociation energies along with the appreciable HOMO-LUMO energy gap may corroborate to the synthetic viability of the homo and heteroleptic ligand-stabilized elusive PSi(Cl/F) species in the laboratory.

Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations using density functional methods were performed for complexes of type L2C2 with L = NHCMe (1), SNHCMe (2) (S = saturated), cAACMe (3), and diamidocarbene (DACMe) (4). The equilibrium structures of 1-4 possess almost linear C4 cores. A high thermochemical stability of the complexes with respect to dissociation, L2C2 → C2 + 2L, is indicated by the large bond dissociation energy following the order 3 > 4 > 2 > 1. The results show that the use of SNHCMe and DACMe as ligands is preferable over NHCMe. The bonding analysis using charge and energy decomposition methods reveals that (cAACMe)2C2 and (DACMe)2C2 possess genuine cumulene C4 moieties, which results from the electron-sharing bonding between quintet L2 and quintet C2 fragments. In contrast, the bonding in (NHCMe)2C2 and (SNHCMe)2C2 comes from a combination of dative and electron-sharing interactions between doublet L2+ and doublet C2- fragments.

Abstract
Distonic radical cations (DRCs) with spatially separated charge and radical sites have, so far, largely been observed by gas-phase mass spectrometry and/or matrix isolation spectroscopy work. Herein, we disclose the isolation of a crystalline dicarbondiphosphide-based β-distonic radical cation salt 3.+ (BARF) (BARF=[B(3,5-(CF3 )2 C6 H3 )4 )]- ) stable at room temperature and formed by a one-electron-oxidation-induced intramolecular skeletal rearrangement reaction. Such a species has been validated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, UV/Vis spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Compound 3.+ (BARF) exhibits a large majority of spin density at a two-coordinate phosphorus atom (0.74 a.u.) and a cationic charge located predominantly at the four-coordinate phosphorus atom (1.53 a.u.), which are separated by one carbon atom. This species represents an isolable entity of a phosphorus radical cation that is the closest to a genuine phosphorus DRC to date.

Abstract
Quantum chemical studies using density functional theory and ab initio methods have been carried out for the molecules L-C3 -L with L=PPh3 (1), NHCMe (2, NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene), and cAACMe (3, cAAC=cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene). The calculations predict that 1 and 2 have equilibrium geometries where the ligands are bonded with rather acute bonding angles at the linear C3 moiety. The phosphine adduct 1 has a synclinal (gauche) conformation whereas 2 exhibits a trans conformation of the ligands. In contrast, the compound 3 possesses a nearly linear arrangement of the carbene ligands at the C3 fragment. The bond dissociation energies of the ligands have the order 1<2<3. The bonding analysis using charge and energy decomposition methods suggests that 3 is best described as a cumulene with electron-sharing double bonds between neutral fragments (cAACMe )2 and C3 in the respective electronic quintet state yielding (cAACMe )=C3 =(cAACMe ). In contrast, 1 and 2 possess electron-sharing and dative bonds between positively charged ligands [(PPh3 )2 ]+ or [(NHCMe )2 ]+ and negatively charged [C3 ]- fragments in the respective doublet state.

Abstract
The N2 analogue phosphorus nitride (PN) was the first phosphorus-containing compound to be detected in the interstellar medium; however, this thermodynamically unstable compound has a fleeting existence on Earth. Here, we show that reductive coupling of iron(IV) nitride and molybdenum(VI) phosphide complexes assembles PN as a bridging ligand in a structurally characterized bimetallic complex. Reaction with C≡N t Bu releases the mononuclear complex [(N3N)Mo-PN]-, N3N = [(Me3SiNCH2CH2)3N]3-), which undergoes light-induced linkage isomerization to provide [(N3N)Mo-NP]-, as revealed by photocrystallography. While structural and spectroscopic characterization, supported by electronic structure calculations, reveals the PN multiple bond character, coordination to molybdenum induces a nucleophilic character at the terminal atom of the PN/NP ligands. Indeed, the linkage isomers can be trapped in solution by reaction with a Rh(I) electrophile.

C–PC framework has been established. Compounds 3a and 3b have a remarkably small HOMO–LUMO energy gap (3a: 5.09; 3b: 5.05 eV) with a very high-lying HOMO (−4.95 eV for each). Consequently, 3a and 3b readily undergo one-electron oxidation with the mild oxidizing agent GaCl3 to afford radical cations [{(IPr)C(Ph)}P(cAACR)]GaCl4 (R = Me 4a, Cy 4b) as crystalline solids. The main UV-vis absorption band for 4a and 4b is red-shifted with respect to that of 3a and 3b, which is associated with the SOMO related transitions. The EPR spectra of compounds 4a and 4b each exhibit a doublet due to coupling of the unpaired electron with the 31P nucleus. Further one-electron removal from the radical cations 4a and 4b is also feasible with GaCl3, affording the dications [{(IPr)C(Ph)}P(cAACR)](GaCl4)2 (R = Me 5a, Cy 5b) as yellow crystals. The molecular structures of compounds 3–5 have been determined by X-ray diffraction and analyzed by DFT calculations. The 2-phospha-1,3-butadiene derivatives 3 are readily accessible by reduction of 2 with Mg. Sequential one-electron oxidation of 3 with GaCl3 leads to the formation of radical cations 4 and dications 5 as crystalline solids.![]()

Abstract
The divinyldiarsene radical cations [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (GaCl4 ) (NHC=IPr: C{(NDipp)CH}2 3; SIPr: C{(NDipp)CH2 }2 4; Dipp=2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 ) and dications [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (GaCl4 )2 (NHC=IPr 5; SIPr 6) are readily accessible as crystalline solids on sequential one-electron oxidation of the corresponding divinyldiarsenes [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (NHC=IPr 1; SIPr 2) with GaCl3 . Compounds 3-6 have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, EPR/NMR spectroscopy, and UV/vis absorption spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations. The sequential removal of one electron from the HOMO, that is mainly the As-As π-bond, of 1 and 2 leads to successive elongation of the As=As bond and contraction of the C-As bonds from 1/2→3/4→5/6. The UV/vis spectrum of 3 and 4 each exhibits a strong absorption in the visible region associated with SOMO-related transitions. The EPR spectrum of 3 and 4 each shows a broadened septet owing to coupling of the unpaired electron with two 75 As (I=3/2) nuclei.

Abstract
Arsenic monophosphide (AsP) species supported by two different N‐heterocyclic carbenes were prepared by reaction of (IDipp)PSiMe3 (1) (IDipp=1,3‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin‐2‐ylidene) with (IMes)AsCl3 (2) (IMes=1,3‐bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)imidazolin‐2‐ylidene) to afford the dichloride [(IMes)As(Cl)P(IDipp)]Cl (3), which upon reduction with KC8 furnished heteroleptic [(IMes)AsP(IDipp)] (4). The corresponding mono‐ and dications [(IMes)AsP(IDipp)][PF6], [5]PF6, and [(IMes)AsP(IDipp)][GaCl4]2, [6][GaCl4]2, respectively, were prepared by one‐electron oxidation of 4 with ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate, [Fc]PF6, or by chloride abstraction from 3 with two equivalents of GaCl3, respectively. Compounds 4–6 represent rare examples of heterodiatiomic interpnictogen compounds, and X‐ray crystal structure determinations together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal a consecutive shortening of the As−P bond lengths and increasing bond order, in agreement with the presence of an arsenic–phosphorus single bond in 4 and a double bond in 62+. The EPR signal of the cationic radical [5]+. indicates a symmetric spin distribution on the AsP moiety through strong hyperfine coupling with the 75As and 31P nuclei.
