Bhowmick T, Orthaber A. Main Group Pentafulvenes: Challenges and Opportunities in Heavy Main Group Isolobal Substitution of Pentafulvene. Chemphyschem 2024; 25:e202300940. [PMID: 38709950 DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202300940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
Heterofulvenes based on isolobal substitution of carbon fragments by (heavier) main group motifs provide a rich source of structurally interesting building blocks with electronic situations that can vastly differ from all-carbon congeners. Group 13, heavier 14 & 16 fulvenes are rare and pose significant stability challenges, while group 15 derivatives, particularly phosphorus and arsenic, have led to many derivatives with intriguing opto-electronic properties.

Abstract
Heteroatom-centered diradical(oid)s have been in the focus of molecular main group chemistry for nearly 30 years. During this time, the diradical concept has evolved and the focus has shifted to the rational design of diradical(oid)s for specific applications. This review article begins with some important theoretical considerations of the diradical and tetraradical concept. Based on these theoretical considerations, the design of diradical(oid)s in terms of ligand choice, steric, symmetry, electronic situation, element choice, and reactivity is highlighted with examples. In particular, heteroatom-centered diradical reactions are discussed and compared with closed-shell reactions such as pericyclic additions. The comparison between closed-shell reactivity, which proceeds in a concerted manner, and open-shell reactivity, which proceeds in a stepwise fashion, along with considerations of diradical(oid) design, provides a rational understanding of this interesting and unusual class of compounds. The application of diradical(oid)s, for example in small molecule activation or as molecular switches, is also highlighted. The final part of this review begins with application-related details of the spectroscopy of diradical(oid)s, followed by an update of the heteroatom-centered diradical(oid)s and tetraradical(oid)s published in the last 10 years since 2013.

Abstract
Radical species are significant in modern chemistry. Their unique chemical bonding and novel physicochemical properties play significant roles not only in fundamental chemistry, but also in materials science. Main group element radicals are usually transient due to their high reactivity. Highly stable radicals are often stabilized by π-delocalization, sterically demanding ligands, carbenes and weakly coordinating anions in recent years. This review presents the recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, reactivity and physical properties of isolable main group element radicals.

Abstract
The one-electron reduction reactions of indeno[2,1-a]fluorene-11,12-dione ( IF ) with various alkali metals bring about the radical anion salts. The different structures and properties are characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements and physical property measurement system (PPMS). IF •- K + (18-c-6) is regarded as a one-dimensional magnetic chain through C-H-C interaction. Theoretical calculations and magnetic results prove that [ IF •- K + (15-c-5)] 2 is a dimer with an open-shell ground state. IF •- Na + (15-c-5) and IF •- K + (cryptand) are monoradical anion salts. IF 2 •- Li + possesses unique π-stack structure with an interplanar separation less than 3.46 Å, making it a semiconductor ( δ RT = 1.9 Χ 10 -4 S•cm -1 ). This work gives a wealth of insights into multifunctional radical anions, and makes the design and development of different functional radicals attractive.

Abstract
The exploration of heavy main-group radicals is rapidly expanding, for which electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic characterisation plays a key role. EPR spectroscopy has the capacity to deliver information of the radical's electronic, geometric and bonding structure. Herein, foundations of electron-nuclear hyperfine analysis are detailed before reviewing more recent applications of EPR spectroscopy to As, Sb, and Bi centred radicals. Additional diverse examples of the application of EPR spectroscopy to other heavy main group radicals are highlighted.

Abstract
We highlight recent advances in organopnictogen chemistry contrasting the properties of lighter and heavier pnictogens. Exploring new bonding situations, discovering unprecedented reactivities and producing fascinating opto-electronic materials are some of the most prominent directions of current organopnicogen research. Expanding the chemical toolbox towards the heavier group 15 elements will continue to create new opportunities to tailor molecular properties for small molecule activation/reactivity and materials applications alike. This frontier article illustrates the elemental substitution approach in selected literature examples.
