title: Experimental validation of 'pnicogen bonding' in nitrogen by charge density analysis.
abstract: The participation of a nitrogen atom acting as an electrophile in pnicogen bonding, a hitherto unexplored interaction has been established by experimental charge density analysis. QTAIM and NBO analyses ratify this observation.
