Pnictogen Chemistry: From Light to Heavy Compounds

Pnictogen compounds offer a broad and highly tunable set of characteristics, including pronounced Lewis acidity and basicity, privileged ligand behavior, the reversible switching between different oxidation states, the accessibility of low‐valent species, and intriguing photophysical properties. In the recent renaissance of p‐block chemistry, researchers are focusing their efforts to investigate and exploit these properties, to reveal unprecedented reactivity patterns and to design fascinating applications based on modern and innovative pnictogen chemistry. This special issue presents current trends in the field of pnictogen chemistry. This special issue highlights recent findings in the topical field of pnictogen chemistry, covering the heavier elements in this group – from light to heavy, P−Bi. The guest editors Prof. Christian Müller, Prof. Evamarie Hey‐Hawkins, and Prof. Crispin Lichtenberg put the innovative and interdisciplinary contributions of this special issue into the context of the latest developments in the chemistry of group 15 elements.
