ABSTRACT
Propellane-like structures are an important building block for group-14 compounds. Therefore, in the present work, we study theoretically various such structures of the form E[Formula: see text] starting with the pure molecules for which E = E' = Eâ³ = C, Si, Ge, or Sn. Subsequently, we study the systems with E ≠ E' = Eâ³ and finally, we consider some selected cases molecules for which E, E', and Eâ³ all are different. Special emphasis is put on identifying structural trends for the molecules with at least two different group-14 elements. The resulting scheme is, we believe, generally valid for group-14 based systems with more than one type of group-14 elements.
