Oxidative bond formation and reductive bond cleavage at main group metal centers: reactivity of five-valence-electron MX₂ radicals.

Monomeric five-valence-electron bis(boryl) complexes of gallium, indium, and thallium undergo oxidative M-C bond formation with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, in a manner consistent with both the redox properties expected for M(II) species and with metal-centered radical character. The weaker nature of the...
