Abstract cyclo ‐Pn ), the planarcyclo ‐P4group is unique in its requirement of two additional electrons to achieve aromaticity. These electrons are supplied from one or more metal centers. However, the degree of charge transfer is dependent on the nature of the metal fragment. Unique examples of dianionic mononuclear η4‐P4complexes are presented that can be viewed as the simple coordination of the [cyclo ‐P4]2−dianion to a neutral metal fragment. Treatment of the neutral, molybdenumcyclo ‐P4complexes Mo(η4‐P4)I2(CO)(CNArDipp2)2and Mo(η4‐P4)(CO)2(CNArDipp2)2with KC8produces the dianionic, three‐legged piano stool complexes, [Mo(η4‐P4)(CO)(CNArDipp2)2]2−and [Mo(η4‐P4)(CO)2(CNArDipp2)]2−, respectively. Structural, spectroscopic, and computational studies reveal a similarity to the classic η6‐benzene complex (η6‐C6H6)Mo(CO)3regarding the metal‐center valence state and electronic population of the planar‐cyclic ligand π system. -

Abstract A new compound NaCd4Sb3(
R m ,a =4.7013(1) Å,c =35.325(1), Å, Z=3,T =100 K) featuring the RbCd4As3structure type has been discovered in the Na−Cd−Sb system, in addition to the previously reported NaCdSb phase. NaCd4Sb3and NaCdSb were herein synthesized using sodium hydride as the source of sodium. The hydride method allows for targeted sample composition, improved precursor mixing, and an overall quicker synthesis time when compared to traditional methods using Na metal as a precursor. The NaCd4Sb3structure was determined from single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and contained the splitting of a Cd site not seen in previous isostructural phases. NaCd4Sb3decomposes into NaCdSb plus melt at 766 K, as determined viain‐situ high‐temperature PXRD. The electronic structure calculations predict the NaCd4Sb3phase to be semi‐metallic, which compliments the measured thermoelectric property data, indicative of ap ‐type semi‐metallic material. The crystal structure, elemental analysis, thermal properties, and electronic structure are herein discussed in further detail. -

Abstract Low‐dimensional (low‐D) organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) have emerged as fascinating candidates for optoelectronics due to their integrated properties from both organic and inorganic components. However, for most of low‐D OMHHs, especially the zero‐D (0D) compounds, the inferior electronic coupling between organic ligands and inorganic metal halides prevents efficient charge transfer at the hybrid interfaces and thus limits their further tunability of optical and electronic properties. Here, using pressure to regulate the interfacial interactions, efficient charge transfer from organic ligands to metal halides is achieved, which leads to a near‐unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) at around 6.0 GPa in a 0D OMHH, [(C6H5)4P]2SbCl5.
In situ experimental characterizations and theoretical simulations reveal that the pressure‐induced electronic coupling between the lone‐pair electrons of Sb3+and the π electrons of benzene ring (lp‐π interaction) serves as an unexpected “bridge” for the charge transfer. Our work opens a versatile strategy for the new materials design by manipulating the lp‐π interactions in organic–inorganic hybrid systems. -
