Abstract

The concept of the oxidation state of an atom in a chemical compound is formulated in terms of the quantum theory of many-electron systems and illustrated by calculations of oxidation numbers of calcium(I, II), phosphorus(0–V), sulfur(0–VI), fluorine(–I), oxygen(–II), and krypton(0) in CaCB11H6Cl6, CaCB11H12, CaC5H5, C a ( C 5 H 5 ) 2 , Ca@C60, P@C60, PF, PF3, PF5, POF3, P4O6, P4O10, SO, OSSO, SO2, SF2, SF4, SF6, SOF4, SO2F2, S3O9, and Kr@C60 molecules. In [ P O 4 ] 3 − @ a q u a , [ P 3 O 9 ] 3 − @ a q u a , [ P F 6 ] − @ a q u a , [ S O 3 ] 2 − @ a q u a , and [ S O 4 ] 2 − @ a q u a ions, high oxidation states of phosphorus(V) and sulfur(IV, VI) are realized.
