Reaktionen von Diorganogallium(indium)fluoriden. Die Kristallstruktur von Mes2InF

Reaction of Diorganogallium(indium) Fluorides. The Crystal Structure of Mes₂InF Mes₂GaF ( 1 ) reacts with t-BuNH₂ at 20°C to the amine adduct [Mes₂Ga(F)(t-BuNH₂)] ( 2 ). Treatment of 1 with H₂S gives after a redox reaction γ-S₈-Sulfur (Muthmanns' Sulfur) ( 3 ) as the only isolated product. When i-Pr₂InF ( 4 ) is reacted with [SnCl₂(dioxane)] in toluene at 70°C one yields after workup [i-PrInCl₂(dioxane)] ( 5 ), which is formed after ligand exchange and reaction with dioxane. 2 and 5 were investigated by NMR-, IR- and MS-techniques. In addition, 2 · 2,5 THF, 3, 5 and Mes₂InF were characterized by an X-ray structure determination. According to that 2 · 2,5 THF contains dimeres, associated by hydrogen brigdes, while 5 possesses a polymeric structure with bridging dioxane molecules. 3 forms eightmembered rings with C ₂-symmetry. Me₂InF is a trimer in the solid state with an In₃F₃-backbone.
