Bis(stibahousene)

摘要

Strained hydrocarbons constitute one of the most prominent classes of organic compounds. Among them, bicyclo[2.1.0]pentene ("housene") derivatives represent a highly challenging and very attractive class. Although organic housenes have been known for more than five decades, there are still very few of them containing heavier main group elements. In this paper, we report on the two housene-type structures, novel monomeric stibahousene and dimeric bis(stibahousene). The bonding natures of both compounds were approached from both experimental and computational directions to reveal their peculiar structural features.
