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.

AbstractDensity functional theory calculations suggest that l-glutamyl-l-glutamate [H-Glu-Glu-H]2– can act as an efficient chelating ligand in basic beryllium carboxylates of type Be4O(RCO2)6. An exergonic energy balance of –10.6 kcal mol–1 for the substitution of two [AcO]– anions by one [H-Glu-Glu-OH]2– dianion in Be4O(AcO2)6 has been calculated; for a second and third substitutions, the computed energy release amounts to –9.3, and –11.3 kcal mol–1. The coordination geometry of the complexes shows a trend toward less deviation from local octahedral symmetry with increasing number of [H-Glu-Glu-OH]2– ligands. The implications of these findings for the yet unknown molecular origins of chronic beryllium disease (CBD) are discussed, and a Be4O moiety is suggested as the beryllium species engaged in CBD.

Interest in the Mn+1AXn phases (M = early transition metal; A = group 13–16 elements, and X = C or N) is driven by their ceramic and metallic properties, which make them attractive candidates for numerous applications. In the present study, we use the density functional theory to calculate the elastic properties and the incorporation of lithium atoms in the 312 MAX phases. It is shown that the energy to incorporate one Li atom in Mo3SiC2, Hf3AlC2, Zr3AlC2, and Zr3SiC2 is particularly low, and thus, theoretically, these materials should be considered for battery applications.
