The previously known dimeric arylantimony oxides (Ph3SbO)2 and [2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3SbO]2 were disaggregated by the Lewis acid B(C6F5)3 giving rise to the formation of the Lewis pair complexes Ph3SbOB(C6F5)3 and 2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3SbOB(C6F5)3 having short bipolar single Sb-O bonds.
The syntheses of the diaryltelluride 6-Ph 2 P(O)-Ace-5-TeMes (1O), the tellurenyl(II) chlorides 6-Ph 2 P(E)-Ace-5-TeCl (2O, E = O; 2S, E = S; 2Se, E = Se), the ditelluroxonium(IV) bis(triflate) [6-Ph 2 P(O)-Ace-5-TeO] 2 (O 3 SCF 3 ) 2 (3O), the diaryltellurium(IV) dichloride 6-Ph 2 P(O)-Ace-5-TeMesCl 2 (4O), the diarylhalotelluronium(IV) polyhalides [6-Ph 2 P(O)-Ace-5-TeMesBr]Br 3 (5O) and [6-Ph 2 P(O)-Ace-5-TeMesI] 2 I 8 (6O), and the aryltellurium(IV) trihalides 6-Ph 2 P(O)-Ace-5-TeX 3 (7O, X = Cl; 8O, X = Br; 9O, X = I) are reported. All compounds have been characterized experimentally by means of multinuclear NMR spectroscopy as well as single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The diverse P−E•••Te bonding situations (E = O, S, Se) in the peri region have also been investigated in detail by complementary DFT studies including the calculation of peri interaction energies (α-PIE) as well as topological analyses of the electron and pair densities according to the AIM and ELI-D space-partitioning schemes and evaluation of noncovalent bonding aspects applying the NCI index. To illustrate the different bond situations, appropriate Lewis formula representations have been suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
