Imido analogues of p-block oxoanions

摘要

The synthesis of imido analogues of p-block oxoanions is a relatively new area of investigation. This review summarises synthetic routes towards such anions and gives an analysis of the structure and reactivity of complexes containing the following anions, [B(NR)_3]~3-; [C(NR)_3]~2-; [Si(NR)-4]~4-; [P(NR)_4]~3-; [HP(NR)_3]~2-; [As(NR)_3]~3-; [Sb(NR)3]~3-; [S(NR)-3~]2-; [Se(NR)_3]~2-; [Te(NR)_3]~2- and [S(NR)_4]~2-.
