Homo- and heteroleptic complexes of four-membered group 13 metal(I) N-heterocyclic carbene analogues with group 10 metal(0) fragments

摘要

A series of complexes between recently developed four-membered group 13 metal(I) heterocycles and group 10 metal(0) fragments have been prepared and structurally characterized. One prepared complex, [Pt{Ga[N(Ar)](2)CNCy2}(3)] (Ar = C6H3Pr2i-2,6; Cy = cyclohexyl), possesses the shortest Pt-Ga bonds yet reported, the covalent components of which are suggested by theoretical studies to have significant pi character.
