Recent advances in heavier group 15 (P, As, Sb, Bi) radical chemistry – frameworks, small molecule reactivity, and catalysis

Abstract

Main group radical chemistry has been a targeted research area for several decades. With growing examples of phosphorus radicals, even heavier pnictogen radicals including arsenic, antimony, and bismuth have also become important targets. A diverse framework of group 15 radicals has been reported in the 21st century and is covered herein. Reactivity and applications of selected radicals and future directions for this field are discussed.
