In analogy with carbocatalysis, thermal catalysis on extended surfaces of Group 15 elements is coined here as “pnictocatalysis” (phospho‐, arsene‐, antimony‐ and bismuth‐catalysis). We show the few examples reported so far, which however include C−C, C−O, C−S, C−N and C‐halide bond‐forming reactions, thus showcasing the synthetic potential of this new ...
