Overview

Theoretical and Physical Chemistry of Triel Bonding: Properties, Mechanisms, and Catalysis explores triel and their compounds, providing a detailed analysis of their molecular and electronic structures, areas often disputed and controversial. It offers a comprehensive description and explanation, emphasizing the unique differences between boron and heavier triel atoms. Key sections cover theoretical foundations, types of interactions, and examples of triel bonds and their characteristics. Additionally, the book highlights triel elements functioning as catalysts and boron compounds in hydrogen storage. Designed for advanced students and researchers in physical or theoretical/computational chemistry, it will also interest organic and inorganic chemists. Compounds of boron and other triel centres have been the subject of numerous studies for a long time, with their properties well-known and frequently discussed. However, the more detailed characteristics of triel compounds have not been well analyzed in existing research and their molecular and electronic structures have often been the subject of dispute and controversy. Triel bonds as a thematic area have garnered significant interest in recent years and this book provides a much broader description and explanation of their properties and characteristics than has previously been available, discussing aspects which are unique to triel bonds such as the differences between boron and the heavier triel atoms.

Author Information

Sławomir Janusz Grabowski was born in Warsaw, Poland (1956) and received his M.Sc. degree (1981) and his Ph.D. (1986) at the University of Warsaw. He received his D.Sc. (habilitation, 1998) at the Technical University of Łódź, Poland. Currently he is employed as an Ikerbasque Research Professor at the University of the Basque Country, Spain. Dr. Grabowski has authored or co-authored over 200 papers, 13 book chapters and he has edited books on hydrogen bonding (Hydrogen Bonding – New Insights, Springer, Dordrecht 2006; Analysis of Hydrogen Bonds in Crystals, Printed Edition of the Special Issue Published in Crystals, MDPI, Basel-Beijing-Wuhan-Barcelona 2016). He is also an author of the book Understanding Hydrogen Bonds: Theoretical and Experimental Views, The Royal Chemical Society, 2021. His work encompasses the analysis of hydrogen bonding, halogen bonding and the other Lewis acids – Lewis base interactions in the gas phase as well as in crystals. He is a member of the Editorial Boards of Crystals (as editor-in-chief of the section Interactions in Crystals, an MDPI journal), Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry and of Computational and Theoretical Chemistry as well as an ongoing reviewer in numerous physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry journals (40-50 reports a year).
