Synthesis and Structure of Group 13 POCOP Complexes

This dataset includes characterisation data of a series of new compounds wherein we explore the coordination complexes of the resorcinol bis(diphenylphosphinite) (POCOP) pincer ligand with Group 13 (aluminum, gallium and indium) metal centers. This includes six new Group 13 POCOP complexes that have all been structurally characterized. The aluminum and indium complexes all crystallize in a five-coordinate “closed” geometry; however, for gallium, an “open” four-coordinate complex is additionally observed in the crystal structure, similar to an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair. The data includes raw NMR and spectral data as well as X-ray data.
