IntroductionClick to copy section linkSection link copied!Multifunctional transition metal complexes containing Sb offer potential electronic flexibility controlled by various accessible Sb oxidation states. (1−4) SbIII typically coordinates to a transition metal as a σ-donor whereas SbV has an empty orbital and can function as a σ-acceptor. Therefore, depending on the Sb oxidation state, Sb can act as either a net electron-donor or an electron-acceptor.

AbstractSubstitution of a C=C bond by an isoelectronic B–N bond is a well-established strategy to alter the electronic structure and stability of acenes. BN-substituted acenes that possess narrow energy gaps have attractive optoelectronic properties. However, they are susceptible to air and/or light. Here we present the design, synthesis and molecular structures of fully π-conjugated cationic BN-doped acenes stabilized by carbodicarbene ligands.
