Semantics, definitions? The description of the electronic structure of main‐group compounds with dative bonds significantly enriched the chemistry of sp block elements. The new viewpoint has proved to be a useful guideline for the synthesis of unusual donor–acceptor complexes and for explaining novel molecular structures. New compound classes such as carbones CL 2 and borylene complexes (BH)L 2 have been found.
