  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Organometallic Pincer Chemistry

Part of the book series: Topics in Organometallic Chemistry ((TOPORGAN,volume 40))

Abstract

Recent achievements in the chemistry of selected group 13–15 elements containing pincer type coordinating ligands are summarized. This chapter covers chemistry of heavier elements Ga, In, Tl from the group 13; Ge, Sn, Pb—especially low valent compounds with formal oxidation state +II or +I and their reactivity from the group 14; and As, Sb, Bi from the group 15. Only the classical pincer type ligands containing nitrogen or oxygen atoms as in-built donor functionalities are considered, i.e., 2,6-(R2NCH2)2C6H3 (L N1), 2,6-(ArN=C(CH3))2C6H3 (L N2), 2,6-(ROCH2)C6H3 (L O1, 2, R = Me, t-Bu), 2-(Me2NCH2)-6-(ROCH2)C6H3 (L NO1,2, R = Me, t-Bu), 2,6-((RO)2P(O))2-4-(t-Bu)C6H3 (L PO). The influence of the present pincer ligands on the structures of the compounds as well as their key role in the stabilization of these compounds is discussed.
