Abstract

As described in Chap. 1, the isolation of some of the first examples of low-oxidation state main-group (MG) complexes has involved the use of sterically demanding and poly-dentate ligand systems, which kinetically stabilise reactive element centres. Two main classes of mono-anionic ligand have been successful applied in such MG chemistry: chelating ligands and mono-dentate ligands. Here, some of the more important examples of such ligands will be discussed, as will their use in the synthesis of group 14 element halide complexes, alongside our efforts in this regard.
