Stereochemistry of post-transition metal oxides: revision of the classical lone pair model.
TL;DR: This recent work has led to a revised model, which highlights the important role of covalent interaction with oxygen in mediating lone pair formation for metal oxides, based on quantum chemical calculations and X-ray spectroscopic measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereochemistry of Post‐Transition Metal Oxides: Revision of the Classical Lone Pair Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the anion p atomic orbital in chemical bonding is highlighted, which is key to explaining why chalcogenides display a weaker preference for structural distortions in comparison to oxides and halides.
