The previous post demonstrated the simple iso-electronic progression from six-coordinate carbon to five coordinate nitrogen. Here, a further progression to oxygen is investigated computationally. The systems are formally constructed from a cyclobutadienyl di-anion and firstly the HO 5+ cation, giving a tri-cationic complex. There are no examples of the resulting motif in the Cambridge structure database.
