Due to unfilled d-shells, transition metal atoms exhibit multiple oxidation states and rich chemistry. While zinc is often classified as a transition metal, electrons in its filled 3d10 shell do not participate in chemical reactions; hence, its oxidation state is +2. Using calculations based on density functional theory, we show that the chemistry of zinc can fundamentally change when it is allowed to interact with highly stable super-electrophilic trianions, namely, BeB11(CN)123- and BeB23(CN…

Using density functional theory, it is shown that an oxidation state of +III for Zn can be realized by choosing specific ligands with large electron affinities by a systematic study of the interaction of Zn with the ligands F, BO(2), and AuF(6), whose electronAffinities are progressively higher.

Can zinc really exist in its oxidation state +III?

It is shown by quantum chemical calculations that (a) Zn(AuF(6))(3) is not a thermochemically feasible compound, and (b) even if it could be made, it would not represent aZn(III) oxidation state by any valid definition.
