Main-group chemistry
an asymmetric electron density on heavy post-transition metal cations that distorts structures, explained as mixing of metal s and anion p states rather than plain s-p hybridization.In main-group chemistry, stereochemically active lone pair refers to an asymmetric electron density on heavy post-transition metal cations that distorts structures, explained as mixing of metal s and anion p states rather than plain s-p hybridization. This meaning comes from Walsh (2011) in Chemical Society Reviews.[1]
