We present a computational study on tetrapnictide dianionsPn(4)(2-)(Pn = P, As, Sb, Bi), using density functional theory (DFT), coupled-cluster [DLPNO-CCSD(T)] and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) methods. Environmental effects such as solvation and coordination of counterions are included. The calculations reveal that out of three isomers (square-planar, butterfly and capped-triangle), the square planar isomers are generally the most stable. The counterion (Li(+)and Mg2+) used in the calculations have a substantial effect on the relative stabilities. The square planar isomers show considerable biradical character. Calculated reactions toward alkenes indicate that this unusual electronic structure has significant implications on the reactivity of thePn(4)(2-)dianions.
