“…1,2,5-Chalcogenadiazoles and especially their fused derivatives (chalcogen E = S, Se, Te; Scheme ) are important for chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine. − Notably, they feature Lewis ambiphilicity, i.e., the ability to be Lewis acids and bases simultaneously, − which is dualistic since in both acidic and basic behavior both σ- and π-molecular orbitals (MO) are involved. Examples include the self-association of 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazoles by means of [E···N] 2 supramolecular synthons in crystal lattices of neutral ,− and charged derivatives covering 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazolidyl and 1-methyl 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazolylium salts; the formation of radical anions (RAs) ,,− and charge transfer (CT) complexes (where they can function as both A and D); ,− and metal coordination compounds ,− (Scheme ).…”
