'Quintuple' Bond Makes Its Debut

(1/1)

Mitch:
A nice extension from Cotton's quadruple bond. Link to article can be found here, again apologies for those without access. http://pubs.acs.org/isubscribe/journals/cen/83/i39/html/8339notw1.html

lemonoman:
Nice.  Very nice.

I didn't even know quadruple bonds existed.  I guess since the first one was discovered, research in multiple bonds like these ones has exploded...I wonder how long it'll be until they develop that penultimate Sextuple bond, eh?

Garneck:
Quadruple bonds can exist between, AFAIK, two rhenium atoms.

Marcin:
Have a look at the KS orbitals. :)

AgG:
12e- centers. huh...  Those chromiums ought to be really labile.  And I can't imagine the Cr-Cr bond distance is very short. Must be some big, unreactive R groups...  Oh well, scrap that thesis proposal!
