Addition of Hydrogen or Ammonia to a Low‐Valent Group 13 Metal Species at 25 °C and 1 Atmosphere

Abstract

Mild-mannered: The low-valent aryl gallium(I) species :GaAr' (Ar' = 2,6-(2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3))(2)C(6)H(3)) undergoes addition to H(2) or NH(3) at room temperature and one atmosphere of pressure to afford 1 or 2 (see scheme), which were characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR and IR spectroscopy.
