Homo- and heteroleptic complexes of four-membered group 13 metal(I) N-heterocyclic carbene analogues with group 10 metal(0) fragments.
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)]2CNCy2}3] (Ar = C6H3Pri2-2,6; 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.
