- Abstract
The d or not the d, that is the question that F. M. Bickelhaupt, M. G. Goesten et al. address in their Communication on six‐coordinate Group 13 complexes on page 12034 ff. The structural resemblance between the complexes and transition‐metal analogues had formerly been suggested to hint at the involvement of the d atomic orbitals of the Group 13 elements. It is now shown that these orbitals play essentially no role, and that the bonding in these six‐coordinate complexes is best described in terms of 7‐center‐12‐electron bonds.
