Abstract
The chemistry of Group 13 Monohalide is of great interest due to its isoelectronic relationship with carbon monoxide and dinitrogen. In recent years, theoretical and experimental studies have been evolved on the group-13 atom-based diatomic molecules as a ligand. The synthetic, characterisation and reactivity of various metal complexes have been well discussed in recent reviews. The nature of the metal bonding of these ligands of various types has been explained in addition by the variety of theoretical studies (using DFT methods) such as FMO and EDA. This chapter has a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of group 13 monohalides as a ligand in coordination chemistry.
