An update on some recent developments in the bonding of compounds with multiple bonds between heavier main group elements is the major theme of this review. A brief historical summary of the field is given in the Introduction. This is followed by a discussion of the major factors affecting the multiple bonding between these elements and the approaches used in the interpretation of that bonding. This organizational format follows that used in two earlier comprehensive reviews covering the area. However, this review is not a comprehensive one and it concerns compounds with homonuclear multiple bonds only. It emphasizes two new themes which involve London dispersion force (LDF) energies and charge-shift (CS) effects that were not treated in the earlier reviews. Although LDF effects are always present in molecular species, it is now clear they can be of decisive importance in the stability of the multiple-bonded compounds, especially those where the multiple bond is weak.

较重的主族元素之间多重键合的更新：保利斥力，电荷转移特性和伦敦色散力效应的重要性

本综述的主要主题是有关化合物与较重的主族元素之间具有多个键的键合的最新进展。简介中简要介绍了该领域的历史。接下来是讨论影响这些元素之间多重键合的主要因素以及解释该键合的方法。该组织格式遵循了涉及该领域的两次较早的全面评估中使用的格式。但是，该综述不是全面的综述，它仅涉及具有同核多重键的化合物。它强调了两个新主题，其中涉及伦敦色散力（LDF）能量和电荷转移（CS）效应，而在较早的评论中没有讨论。尽管LDF效应始终存在于分子物种中，
