Cationic terminal gallylene complexes by halide abstraction: coordination chemistry of a valence isoelectronic analogue of CO and N2.

Journal article

While N(2) and CO have played central roles in developing models of electronic structure, and their interactions with transition metals have been widely investigated, the valence isoelectronic diatomic molecules EX (E = group 13 element, X = group 17 element) have yet to be isolated under ambient conditions, either as the "free" molecule or as a ligand in a simple metal complex. As part of a program designed to address this deficiency, together with wider issues of the chemistry of cationic s...
