We go further than the usual design rule of only considering the cation to also consider the present anions. For the negatively charged ions, group six elements make up the majority of the compostion, accounting for 76%. Such a high prevalence of chalcogenides is quite surprising, especially as oxygen is known to be very electronegative; second only to flourine in its ability to attract and hold electron density. That said, perhaps the most well-known and well applied electride is the oxide 𝐶𝑎 12 𝐴𝑙 14 𝑂 32 . Hopefully this result indicates that yet more air and water stable electrides can be made if the systems are already oxidised in their native form. There are only 6% of the total results set is composed of halogens. Halogen electrides have been predicted to exists, but are not prevalent among experimentally demonstrated electrides. It is however, once again not necessarily in line with expectations as a strongly electronegative ion could draw the anionic electron out of the structure. The final surprising result is the relatively small proportion of nitrides among these candidates, considering that nitride compounds comprise the majority of experimentally confirmed electrides. Overall, these findings indicate a surprising breadth to potential electride chemistry that has barely begun to be accessed, the lanthanide and transitionmetal combinations with group VIA elements especially represent a promising but relatively unexplored research area that merits further investigation.
