The development of group 13 metal complexes implementing non-innocent ligands has the potential to significantly broaden the reaction chemistry of these elements. Herein we report the chemistry of coordination complexes of Group 13 metals implementing nitroxide-based ligands. We will specifically present our work on a tripodal, tris(nitroxide) ligand system: N(benylNO)33-. Synthetic details and full characterization (1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, and DFT) data for the Al, Ga, and In complexes will be presented. We will also disclose the diverse reaction chemistry of the complexes that includes redox chemistry, metal-ligand cooperative activation, and frustrated Lewis acid-base pair chemistry.
