Using density functional theory (M06-2X-D3/def2-TZVP), we investigated the 1,2-addition reactions of NH3 with a series of heavy imine analogues, G13=P-Rea (where G13 denotes a Group 13 element; Rea = reactant), featuring a mixed G13–P–Ga backbone. Theoretical analyses revealed that the bonding natur...
