Salen supported Al–O–CP and Ga–PCO complexes†
Abstract
The first OCP adducts of aluminium and gallium are reported. The complexes are supported by sterically encumbered salen ligands and reveal a selective binding to O and P, respectively. Their reactivity with diazaphosphenium Lewis acids and N-heterocyclic carbene Lewis bases is described, in addition to cycloaddition reactions with s-tetrazines.
