Abstract
Recent developments in the chemistry of compounds containing group 13 (triel) elements with coordination numbers of less than 3 are presented. Low coordination numbers are typically the consequence of the group 13 element: (1) having a lower-than-usual valence state; (2) being multiply bonded to another atom; or (3) having a cationic charge. Numerous families of ligands that have been used to isolate low-coordinate triel species are presented and the structural features of the resultant compounds are described. The presence of a low-coordinate element often has a great effect on the chemistry of such compounds and the reactivity of these species is detailed.
