Abstract

Bonding direct! The compounds [(dpp-bian)GaM(Et2O)3] (M=Li, and Na; dpp-bian=1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) featuring direct metal–gallium bonds, have been prepared by the reduction of [(dpp-bian)GaGa(dpp-bian)] with two equivalents of Li or Na, respectively. The calculated GaLi distance of 2.726 Å for the Li complex is in good agreement with the crystal data (structure shown here).
