Abstract

The chemistry of the group 13 M-M bond (M = Al, Ga, In) has emerged as an exciting, unpredictable, and provocative area of main-group organometallic chemistry. This review seeks to draw a sharper focus on some of the more notable discoveries in this area, with a particular emphasis on group 13 multiple bonding and the concept of metalloaromaticity.
