Unraveling Terminal Cobalt-Antimony Double Bond: Breaking New Ground in Heavy Pnictogen Multiple Bonds.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Terminal pnictinidene complexes featuring heavy group 15 elements (Sb, Bi) doubly bonded to transition metals remain exceptionally elusive compared to their lighter congeners. Herein, we demonstrate that N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) can effectively cleave the Sb═Sb double bond of distibenes to yield monomeric, zwitterionic stibinide species. Subsequent transfer of the antimony moiety to a cobalt center generates a terminal cobalt-stibinidene complex. Structural analysis reveals a very short Co─Sb bond distance, which is corroborated by Wiberg and Mayer bond indices as well as frontier molecular orbital and natural bond orbital analyses, providing compelling evidence for an unprecedented covalent Co═Sb double bond. In addition, we demonstrate that this compound reacts with an alkyne in a (2π+2π) cycloaddition and with phenyl azide to form a three-membered ring, providing initial insight into its reactivity and drawing parallels with reactivity patterns established for lighter phosphinidene analogs. This work establishes a rational route to stabilize heavy-element multiple bonds via a controlled and operationally-simple distibene cleavage.
