Lewis Acid−Base Adducts of Pentamethylcyclopentadienylgallium with Trivalent Group 13-Element Compounds

Abstract

In the reaction of (η5-pentamethylcylopentadienyl)gallium (Cp*Ga) with B(C6F5)3, GatBu3, and Cp*GaX2 (X = Cl, I) the new complexes Cp*GaB(C6F5)3, 1, Cp*GaGatBu3, 2, and Cp*GaGa(X)2Cp* (X = Cl, 3; I, 4), respectively, were obtained. Alternatively, complex 3 was formed in the reaction of Cp*Ga with InCl. Compounds 1−4 were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. In addition, X-ray crystal structure analyses of 1, 3, and 4 were performed.
