Figure 3

Congeneric volume. The 5 x 4 x 4 congeneric volume is formed when the 5 x 1 Li+ to Cs+ congeneric series of Lewis acids interacts with the 4 x 4 anonic Lobe-HOMO Lewis bases congeneric planar.

The congeneric volume shows linear trends with respect to percentage ionic character and metal to heteroatom bond length. The object has various properties. Brønsted base proton-abstraction behaviour sweeps from LiI (which is Brønsted neutral) to LiF (F– is a weak Brønsted base), through LiOH (HO– is a strong Brønsted base), LiNH2 and LiCH3 (two ‘super bases’ of synthetic chemistry), to CsCH3, which this analysis predicts is the strongest proton-abstracting Brønsted base of the set, although the species is unknown.

Caesium iodide is the highest density material and caesium fluoride has the most ionic bond.
