Odd-Electron Bonds.
Timothy ClarkPublished in: Chemphyschem : a European journal of chemical physics and physical chemistry (2017)
The history and theory of one- and three-electron bonds are presented and discussed. It is shown that the dependence of the odd-electron bond energy on the difference in ionization potentials of the bonding partners must be corrected to include the ion-pairing energy for neutral odd-electron bonded complexes.
