Recent advances in the syntheses of homopolyatomic cations of the non metallic elements C, N, P, S, Cl, Br, I and Xe

摘要: Abstract The electronegative non metallic elements have high electron affinities and ionization potentials thus a strong tendency to form anions. To work against the naturally negative charge of non-metals, inspired continues inspire chemists around world. Nevertheless, it still is one tough challenges in inorganic chemistry selectively synthesize pure homopolyatomic cations metals. Over last hundred years characterization most those were described literature. Even very recent brought new exciting examples, e.g. N, P, Sb others. Herein advances towards syntheses over fifteen are reviewed.
