“…The majority of studies in the past three decades have concerned neutral frameworks containing lighter, non-metallic bridgehead atoms Y(2-py') 3 (Y = CR, COR, CH, N, P, P=O; 2-py' = an unsubstituted or substituted 2-pyridyl group) (e.g., Figure 1b). 8 More recently, however, attention has turned to the effects of incorporating more metallic Group 13, 9 14 10,11 and 15 12 bridgeheads. 13 These isoelectronic metallic relatives now span almost the entire range of p-block elements, from anionic aluminate ligands (e.g., inset to Figure 1, A), 9 through to the heaviest counterpart containing a Bi III bridgehead (inset to Figure 1, C).…”
