Platinum Complexes Featuring Terminally Bound Ga+ and In+ Ions

摘要

The coordination chemistry of lowvalent Group 13 ligand systems represents a synthetically challenging and highly topical area of modern maingroup chemistry that has experienced considerable progress in recent years.[1] In part, this stems from a desire to elucidate fundamental patterns of electronic structure/bonding and reactivity, and to compare such properties with the textbook organometallic ligand systems of Group 14 (for example, carbonyls, carbenes, vinylidenes).
