| Abstract: | Different synthetic routes for the preparation of diiodo(methylthio)gallane are given. Some reactions of this compound with Lewis bases, such as O(CH3)2, S(CH3)2, S2(CH3)2, N(CH3)3, P(CH3)3, and other compounds, such as CH3I, CH3OH, C2H5OH, C2H5SH, i-C3H7SH, and C2H5SeH are investigated. Spectra and some physical and chemical properties of the new compounds are reported. The structure of diiodo(methylthio)gallane is discussed in view of some interesting differences of this molecule in solution and in crystal form. |
