Accessing low denticity coordination modes of a high denticity tripodal ligand to complete its coordinative repertoire.
New coordination complexes of the neutral tripodal tetra-amine Me(6)TREN with tBu(3)Ga or tBu(2)Zn have been synthesised and studied with their molecular structures revealing, for the first time, coordination to metal centres via an η(1) or η(2) mode, adding to previously reported η(3) and η(4) ligated examples.
