Originally, the concepts of aromaticity and antiaromaticity were introduced to explain the stability and reactivity of unsaturated organic compounds. Since then, they have been extended to other species with delocalized electrons including various saturated systems, organometallic compounds, and even inorganic clusters and molecules. In this Minireview, we focus on the most recent progress of using these concepts to guide experimental synthesis and rationalize geometrical and electronic structures of a particular family of polyanions composed of Group 14 and 15 elements, namely Zintl clusters.
最初，芳香性和反芳香性的概念被引入以解释不饱和有机化合物的稳定性和反应性。从那时起，它们已经扩展到其他具有离域电子的物种，包括各种饱和体系、有机金属化合物，甚至无机簇和分子。在这篇综述中，我们专注于使用这些概念来指导实验合成和合理化由第 14 和 15 族元素组成的特定多阴离子家族，即 Zintl 簇的几何和电子结构的最新进展。
