Abstract
In this work, we report a low-valent Ga(I) complex, [Ga@Bi10(NbMes)2]3-, with a linear Nb-Ga-Nb fragment, representing the first compound with Nb-Ga and Nb-Bi bonds. Quantum-chemical calculations reveal that the complex is an electron-precise cluster. The possible fragmentation pathway of the title cluster was studied by using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and theoretical calculations.

Abstract
"GaOTf" is a simple, convenient source of low-valent gallium for synthetic chemistry and catalysis. However, little is currently known about its composition or reactivity. In this work, 71 Ga NMR spectroscopy shows the presence of [Ga(arene)n ]+ salts on oxidation of Ga metal with AgOTf in arene solvents. However, a more complex picture of speciation is uncovered by X-ray diffraction studies. In all cases, mixed-valence compounds containing Ga-arene and Ga-OTf coordination motifs, in addition to an unusual "naked" [Ga]+ ion, are found. Addition of 18-crown-6 allows for the isolation of a discrete GaI crown complex. Evidence of a potential intermediate in the formation of "GaOTf" has been isolated in the form of the bimetallic silver(I)/gallium(I) cluster anion [Ag4 {Ga(OTf)3 }4 (μ-Ga)6 (OTf)4 ]2- .

Abstract
Density functional theory calculations at the M06-D3/def2-TZVPPD level of the group-13 anion complexes EFe(CO)3- (E = B-Tl) and the isoelectronic neutral and charged boron adducts BTM(CO)3q (TMq = Fe-, Ru-, Os-, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni+, Pd+, Pt+) give tetrahedral (C3v) geometries in the 1A1 electronic ground state as equilibrium structures. The analysis of the bonding situation with the energy decomposition analysis in combination with natural orbital for chemical valence method suggests that the E-TM(CO)3q bonds possess four bonding components: (a) one strong electron-sharing σ bond E-TM(CO)3q; (b) two π backdonations E⇇TM(CO)3q and (c) one weak σ donation E→TM(CO)3q. The relative strength of the four bonding components depends on the charge of the system, the transition metal TM and the group-13 atom E. The σ donation E→TM(CO)3q is in all systems rather weak while the associated charge migration is not negligible. A similar situation of the bonding of terminal group-13 atoms Ga and In is found in Ga-TM(GaCp)4+ and E-Pt(PMe3)3+ (TM = Ni, Pd, Pt; E = Ga, In), which are model compounds for the stable complexes GaTM(GaCp*)4+ (TM = Ni, Pt) and InPt(PPh3)3+. The quadruple bonds E→TML2 are hybrids of electron-sharing and dative bonds.

Abstract
The chemistry of the p-block elements is a huge playground for fundamental and applied work. With their bonding from electron deficient to hypercoordinate and formally hypervalent, the p-block elements represent an area to find terra incognita. Often, the formation of cations that contain p-block elements as central ingredient is desired, for example to make a compound more Lewis acidic for an application or simply to prove an idea. This review has collected the reactive p-block cations (rPBC) with a comprehensive focus on those that have been published since the year 2000, but including the milestones and key citations of earlier work. We include an overview on the weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) used to stabilize the rPBC and give an overview to WCA selection, ionization strategies for rPBC-formation and finally list the rPBC ordered in their respective group from 13 to 18. However, typical, often more organic ion classes that constitute for example ionic liquids (imidazolium, ammonium, etc.) were omitted, as were those that do not fulfill the - naturally subjective -"reactive"-criterion of the rPBC. As a rule, we only included rPBC with crystal structure and only rarely refer to important cations published without crystal structure. This collection is intended for those who are simply interested what has been done or what is possible, as well as those who seek advice on preparative issues, up to people having a certain application in mind, where the knowledge on the existence of a rPBC that might play a role as an intermediate or active center may be useful.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the cationic mixed metal Ga/Zn cluster [Zn2(GaCp*)6](2+) (1) is presented. The reaction of [Zn2Cp*2] with [Ga2Cp*][BAr4(F)] leads to the formation of the novel complex being the first example of a [Zn2](2+) core exclusively ligated by metalloid group-13 organyl-ligands. Compound 1 exhibits two different coordination modes: In the solid state, two of the six GaCp* ligands occupy bridging positions, whereas VT (1)H NMR indicates the coexistence of a second isomer in solution featuring six terminal GaCp* ligands. Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to assign the gallium and zinc positions; the bonding situation in 1 is characterized and the importance of dispersion forces is discussed.
