Abstract

Coordination numbers N between 5 and 16 in inorganic and organo-metallic compounds are discussed, and special cases of the Lewis paradigm, such as the hybridization hypothesis and the Kimball model, are critically compared with the more recent cross-fertilization between quantum chemistry and experimental studies of optical and photoelectron spectra. The relation between acidity and oxidizing character is shortly analyzed.
