Abstract
Chapter 1. General introduction
This chapter comprises a comprehensive overview of group 13 chemistry, including the elements
of group 13, the trihydrides of aluminium and gallium and their Lewis base adducts, and a brief
overview of aluminium and gallium trihalides and their respective Lewis base adducts.
Chapter 2. Lewis base adducts of group 13 mixed halide-hydrides
This chapter consists of an overview of the existing mixed halohydrides of aluminium and
gallium, and an introduction to carbenes, including NHCs. The synthesis and discussion of
numerous new mixed halohydrides of aluminium and gallium is presented.
Chapter 3. Selected reductions with mixed halohydride reagents
This chapter discusses the application of compounds from Chapter 2 as organic reducing agents
and comparison with literature concerning hydrometallation with trihydride congeners.
Chapter 4. Triazenide complexes of alane and gallane
This chapter includes the synthesis of several new triazene species and their precursors, and their
application as support ligands for aluminium and gallium mono- and dihydrides.
Chapter 5.
This chapter includes the synthesis of several “super-bulky” NHCs, their precursor
diazabutadienes and terphenyls, and preliminary use in coordination chemistry.
