Recent synthetic advances have afforded opportunities for the creation of a wide range of potentially tetradentate N 2 O 2 n − ligands. When combined with group 13 elements, robust functional molecular materials can be realized. This concept article describes advances surrounding group 13 complexes of selected families of N 2 O 2 n − ligands, including examples with unique chirality, sensing/detection capabilities, utility in organic electronics, and redox properties. It also highlights the bridge between fundamental main group chemistry and useful application that is being established within this research field.
