Unusual properties of novel Li₃F₃ring: (LiF₂–Li₂F) superatomic cluster or lithium fluoride trimer, (LiF)₃?

Ab initio prediction of novel alkalides FLi2–M–Li2F (M = Li, Na and K)

“…This hypervalent cluster has been extensively studied theoretically [10][11][12][13][14] as well as experimentally [15][16][17][18][19]. Furthermore, it has been used to design a variety of charge transfer salts possessing interesting physical and chemical properties [20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Stability and bonding of new superalkali phosphide species

“…Srivastava et al 10,11 investigated the unusual properties of Li 3 F 3 superatomic cluster and the structures, stability, and electronic properties of various computationally designed superalkali-halogen clusters. It is proposed that Li 3 X 3 supersalts are thermodynamically more stable than LiX salts due to the binding energy and larger HOMO-LUMO energy gaps.…”

Structures and basicity of LiNOH (N = 1 − 5) species

“…These interesting species possess potential reducing capability, which can be exploited in the synthesis of a variety of charge transfer salts. Previous studies reveal that the interaction between superalkalis and their counterpart, namely, superhalogen leads to the formation of supersalts …”
