The chemistry of Group 13 elements in oxidation states lower than+ 3 has been a subject of increasing importance in maingroup chemistry over the last 20 years. Particular attention has focused on the chemistry of compounds containing Group 13 elements in the+ 1 oxidation state (EI) for both fundamental and practical purposes.[1–3] The presence of the “lone pair” of electrons on EI (Scheme 1a) often makes the normally Lewis acidic Group 13 center behave as a Lewis base instead. Such altered reactivity means that compounds containing EI centers can be used as ligands for main-group [4] and transition-metal acceptors;[5, 6] some of the coordination complexes thus obtained have proven to be useful precursors for the formation of intermetallic and other materials.[6] Although sterically demanding substituents such as terphenyl [7, 8] and β-diketiminate [9–13] ligands have been used to obtain some examples, the vast majority of stable monomeric compounds containing EI centers (apart from thallium [14]) have the Group 13 element bound to either a cyclopentadienyl (Cp) substituent [15] or to an isolobal tris (pyrazolyl) borate group.[16] These σ-and π-donating substituents stabilize
