Combination of the Lewis bases Cp2MH2 (where M = W or Mo) with the Group III Lewis acids AlR3 (where R = Me, Et, or Ph) and AlMe2H has yielded a series of 1:1 complexes of the type Cp2MH2•AlR3. A number of the complexes undergoes a slow elimination of hydrogen or alkane in benzene solution. Attempts to isolate mixed hydride adducts of the type, Cp2MH2•M′H3 (where M′ = Al or Ga), were unsuccessful.

While conventional approaches to stabilizing main group radicals have involved the use of Lewis acids or bases, this tutorial review focuses on new avenues to main group radicals derived from combinations of donor and acceptor molecules.

The Lewis acid-base interaction between B(iii) Lewis acids and the pyridazine moiety reduced the electron density from the Ni center and in situ modulated the pyridazine-imine nickel catalyzed ethylene (co)polymerisation.

It is a fundamental property of conjugated systems to accept a proton or Lewis acid and form a stable carbonium ion. Polyenes that are protonated or add Lewis acids in this manner undergo substantial red shifts. For example, vitamin A1 acetate absorbs at 350 mµ in neutral and at 650 mµ in acidic benzene solution. The fundamental basis for absorption of polyene systems was described in detail in quantum mechanical terms. Applying the carbonium ion treatment to the visual chromophores retinal1 and retinal2 gives a very satisfactory explanation why these polyenes can be made to absorb in the visual region. Furthermore, by proper placement of the Lewis acid several absorption maxima can be gained from the carbonium ions which result. This treatment can be applied to explain experimental results. Individual cones from the frog are now known to absorb at 455, 537, and 625 mµ. If the value for the green cone (537 mµ) is used to calculate the Vo value in Kuhn's equation, the other two wave lengths may then be calculated. The calculated values are 460 and 600 mµ; this is in good agreement with the results from experiment.

Crystals of 1,10-phenanthrolinium pentafluoridooxidotungstate(VI), (1,10-phen-H)[WOF5] (1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, C12H8N2), were obtained upon hydrolysis of WF6(1,10-phen) in CH3CN at 193 K. The (1,10-phen-H)[WOF5] salt contains a rare example of a [WOF5]− anion in which the oxygen and fluorine atoms are ordered. This ordering was verified by bond-valence determinations and structural comparisons with [Xe2F11][WOF5] and Lewis acid-base adducts of WOF4 with main-group donor ligands. The crystal packing is controlled by N—H...F hydrogen bonding that is directed exclusively to the axial F atom as a result of its increased basicity caused by the trans influence of the oxido ligand.

Enthalpies of complexation of the α,β-unsaturated Lewis bases crotonaldehyde, 1; methyl crotonate, 2; mesityl oxide, 3; and crotononitrile, 4; with each of the Lewis acids SnCl4, TiCl4, SbCl5, and BCl3 were measured in solution in CH2Cl2. The results indicate that while a qualitative agreement exists in the ranking of Lewis acids for each of the Lewis bases, there is only a modest quantitative correlation. Similarly, when compared with an nmr-derived Lewis acid scale, the enthalpies were found to agree with the qualitative ranking of Lewis acids, but exhibited only a poor correlation.

High-level quantum-chemical computations (G4MP2) are carried out in the study of complexes featuring tetrel bonding between the carbon atom in the carbenoid CB11H11—obtained by hydride removal in the C-H bond of the known closo-monocarbadodecaborate anion CB11H12(−) and acting as Lewis acid (LA)—and Lewis bases (LB) of different type; the electron donor groups in the tetrel bond feature carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine atomic centres in neutral molecules as well as anions H(−), OH(−), and F(−). The empty radial 2pr vacant orbital on the carbon centre in CB11H11, which corresponds to the LUMO, acts as a Lewis acid or electron attractor, as shown by the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and electron localization function (ELF). The thermochemistry and topological analysis of the complexes {CB11H11:LB} are comprehensively analysed and classified according to shared or closed-shell interactions. ELF analysis shows that the tetrel C⋯X bond ranges from very polarised bonds, as in H11B11C:F(-) to very weak interactions as in H11B11C⋯FH and H11B11C⋯O=C=O.
