Tricoordinate Nontrigonal Pnictogen-Centered Radical Anions: Isolation, Characterization and Reactivity.
Abstrak
The search for main-group element-based radicals is one of the main research topics in contemporary chemistry because of their fascinating chemical and physical properties. The Group 15 element-centered radicals mainly feature a V-shaped two coordinate structure, with a couple of radical cations featuring trigonal tricoordinated geometry. In this work, we successfully synthesized nontrigonal compounds R3E (E = P, As and Sb) by introducing a new rigid tris-amide ligand. The selective one-electron reduction of R3E afforded the first stable tricoordinate pnictogen-centered radical anion salts, in which the pnictogen atoms retain planar T-shaped structures. Electron paramagnetic spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that the spin density mainly resides at the p orbitals of the pnictogen atoms, which are perpendicular to the N3E planes.
