Diorganogalliumfluoride. Die Kristallstruktur des Mischkristalls [B(CH2Ph)3]0,92[Ga(CH2Ph)3]0,08 · NCMe

Diorganogallium Fluorides. The Crystal Structure of the Mixed Crystal B(CH₂Ph)₃]_0.92Ga(CH₂Ph)₃]_0.08 · NCMe The reaction of GaR₃ with BF₃ · OEt₂ in diethylether leads to the diorganogallium fluorides R₂GaF R = i-Pr ( 1 ), CH₂Ph ( 2 ), Mes ( 3 )]. Compound 1 is also available by the reaction of i-Pr₂GaBr ( 6 ) with KF at ?20°C in acetonitrile. The by-product B(CH₂Ph)₃, formed together with 2 during the first reaction, crystallizes with ca. 8% Ga(CH₂Ph)₃ in acetonitrile as B(CH₂Ph)₃]_0.92Ga(CH₂Ph)₃]_0.08 · NCMe ( 4 ) in the space group P2₁/n with a = 1050.32(7) pm, b = 1159.5(2) pm, c = 1591.6(1) pm and β = 96.931(6)°.
