Bond-length distributions for ions bonded to oxygen: metalloids and post-transition metals

ABSTRACT: Bond-length distributions are examined for 33 configurations of the metalloid ions and 56 configurations of the post-transition metal ions bonded to oxygen. Lone-pair stereoactivity is discussed. Bond-length distributions have been examined for 33 configurations of the metalloid ions and 56 configurations of the post-transition metal ions bonded to oxygen, for 5279 coordination polyhedra and 21 761 bond distances for the metalloid ions, and 1821 coordination polyhedra and 10 723 bond distances for the post-transition metal ions. For the metalloid and post-transition elements with lone-pair electrons, the more common oxidation state between nversusn+2 is n for Sn, Te, Tl, Pb and Bi and n+2 for As and Sb. There is no correlation between bond-valence sum and coordination number for cations wi
