Abstract

The neutral complex, [GaF3(L)] (L = 1-benzyl-4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, BzMe2-tacn), acts as a ‘metalloligand’ to Na+, K+ and [NH4]+ cations in aqueous solution, forming supramolecular assemblies containing significant Na/K–F and H3N+H⋯F coordination. κ1-[BF4]− and κ2-[PF6]− coordination is also evident to Na+ and K+, respectively.
