Alone at the apex : The first metal complexes with Ga + or In + cations as terminally bound ligands have recently been synthesized. Structural and computational studies suggest a Lewis acid/base PtGa interaction for [GaPt(GaCp*) 4 ] + ( 1 ; Pt blue, Ga violet, C gray; Ar F =C 6 H 3 (CF 3 ) 2 ‐3,5). The Group 13 cation therefore functions as an acceptor ligand, with significant components of both σ and π symmetry contributing to the PtGa linkage.
