Reliable Comparison of Pnicogen, Chalcogen, and Halogen Bonds in Complexes of 6-OXF2-Fulvene (X = As, Sb, Se, Te, Be, I) With Three Electron Donors
The pnicogen, chalcogen, and halogen bonds between 6-OXF2-fulvene (X = As, Sb, Se, Te, Br, and I) and three nitrogen-containing bases (FCN, HCN, and NH3) are compared. For each nitrogen base, the halogen bond is strongest, followed by the pnicogen bond, and the chalcogen bond is weakest. For each ty...
