Long‐Lived Radicals of the Heavier Group 15 Elements Arsenic, Antimony, and Bismuth

The syntheses and properties of long‐lived arsenic, antimony, and bismuth‐centered radicals are reviewed. In contrast to the rich phosphorus‐based radical chemistry, that of the heavier congeners is far less advanced, which can be attributed to the increased instability of coordinatively and electronically unsaturated heavy main‐group element centers. However, the development of new synthetic strategies and stabilization methods particularly in the last decade enabled the isolation and characterization of several unpaired electron‐containing heavy group 15 element species featuring various structural motifs and electronic properties. The long‐lived character of these radicals allowed for the elucidation of their electronic structures and bonding properties, as well as the exploration of their unique reactivity.
