Sesquialkoxide von Gallium und Indium

Sesquialkoxides of Gallium and Indium Treatment of GaMe₃ with one equivalent of HO^cHex in toluene at 20 °C leads to [Me₂GaO^cHex]₂ ( 4 ) under evolution of methane. The reaction of InMe₃ with two equivalents of HO^cHex leads under similar conditions not to [MeIn(O^cHex)₂]_n but to the sesquialkoxide [In{Me₂In(O^cHex)₂}₃] ( 5 ). 5 can be described also as [{Me₂InO^cHex)}₂{MeIn(O^cHex)₂}₂]. The use of an excess of cyclohexanol in boiling toluene gives the same result. Under these reflux conditions, the reaction of GaMe₃ with an excess of PhCH₂OH leads exclusively to another type of sequialkoxides, [Ga{MeGa(OCH₂Ph)₃}₃] ( 6 ). 4 — 6 were characterized by NMR, vibrational and MS spectra, as well as by X‐ray structure determinations. According to this, 4 forms centrosymmetrical and therefore planar Ga₂O₂ four‐membered rings. 5 and 6 possess basically the same structural motif, central M³⁺ ion ( 5 : In³⁺; 6 : Ga³⁺) coordinated by three metalate units ( 5 : [Me₂In(O^cHex)₂]^—; 6 : [MeGa(OCH₂Ph)₃]^—). The central M³⁺ ions have always coordination number (CN) six while the three surrounding metal ions possess CN 4. Because of the spectroscopic findings 6 must exist in two isomers (1:1). The C₃‐symmetrical isomer C₃‐ 6 was characterized by X‐ray analysis, while the isomer C₁‐ 6 could by described mainly by the complex NMR data.     

Organometallic Diaza‐dimetalla‐Norbornanes and ‐Cyclohexanes of Aluminium,Gallium and Indium

Selective formation of 1,3,3,4,6,6‐hexamethyl‐1,4‐diaza‐3,6‐diinda‐norborane was achieved by the reaction of bis(lithiomethyl‐methylamino)methane with dimethylindium chloride by simultaneous formation of two dative metal‐carbon and two metal‐nitrogen bonds accompanied by two ring closures. The synthesis of heterometallic compounds of this type, namely 1,3,3,4,6,6‐hexamethyl‐3‐alumina‐1,4‐diaza‐6‐galla‐norborane [Me₂AlCH₂N(Me)]CH₂[N(Me)CH₂GaMe₂], was also attempted by the reaction of bis(lithiomethyl‐methylamino)methane with dimethylaluminium and ‐gallium chloride. This compound is formed, but cannot be separated from the simultaneously formed homometallic compounds [Me₂MCH₂N(Me)]₂CH₂(M = Al, Ga). The compounds were identified by elemental analyses, mass spectra, NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C), and by determination of their crystal structures in which they are present as monomers. The norbornane‐like structure is favoured over potential isomers containing three‐membered rings and over polymeric aggregation in both compounds. In addition, the crystal structure of dimethyl(dimethylaminomethyl)indium was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction, which shows an intermolecular aggregation into a six‐membered ring dimer.     

Amidoverbindungen von Aluminium und Gallium

Amido Derivatives of Aluminium and Gallium The treatment of GaCl₃ with LiN^cHex₂ (^cHex = C₆H₁₁) in the molar ratio 1 : 3 or 1 : 4 in THF at 20 °C gives the gallium amide Ga(N^cHex₂)₃ ( 1 ) which is monomer in solution and the solid state. Under similar conditions the reaction of AlCl₃ and GaCl₃ with LiN(CH₂Ph)₂ in the molar ration of 1 : 4 leads to the amido metalates [Li(THF)₄][M{N(CH₂Ph)₂}₄] (M = Al ( 2 ), Ga ( 3 )). 1 – 3 have been characterized by NMR, IR and MS techniques as well as by X‐Ray analyses. According to them 2 and 3 consist of separate ions [Li(THF)₄]⁺ and [M{N(CH₂Ph)₃}₄]^–. The reason for the monomeric character of 1 is the sterical demand of the N^cHex₂ group.     

Das unterschiedliche Reaktionsverhalten von basefreiem Tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl‐Lithium gegenüber den Trihalogeniden der Erdmetalle und des Eisens

The Variable Reaction Behaviour of Base‐free Tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl Lithium with Trihalogenides of Earth‐Metals and Iron Base‐free tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl Lithium, Tsi–Li, reacts with the earth‐metal trihalogenides (MHal₃ with M = Al, Ga, In and Hal = Cl, Br, I) primarily to give the metallates [Tsi–MHal₃]Li. Simultaneous to this simple metathesis a methylation also takes place, mainly with heavier halogenides of Ga and In with excess Tsi–Li, forming the mono and dimethyl compounds Tsi–M(Me)Hal (M = Ga, In; Hal = I), Tsi–MMe₂ (M = Ga), and the bis(trisyl)derivative (Tsi)₂InMe, respectively and the main by‐product 1,3‐disilacyclobutane. Representatives of each type of compound have been isolated by fractionating crystallizations or sublimations and characterized by spectroscopic methods (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si NMR, IR, Raman) and X‐ray elucidations. Reduction takes place, when FeCl₃ reacts with Tsi–Li (1 : 3 ratio) in toluene at 55–60 °C, yielding red‐violet Fe(Tsi)₂, 1,1,1‐tris(trimethylsilyl)‐2‐phenyl ethane and low amounts of Tsi–Cl. Fe(Tsi)₂ is monomeric, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and consists of a linear C–Fe–C skeleton with d(Fe–C) of 204,5(4) pm.     

Diorganomorpholinometallane von Gallium und Indium – Monomer‐Dimer‐Gleichgewichte in Lösung

Diorganomorpholinometalates of Gallium and Indium – Monomer‐Dimer‐Equilibrium in Solution The reaction of Li[N(CH₂CH₂)₂O] (LiMorpholinate; Li(Morph)) with Me₂GaCl and Me₂InCl gives by salt‐elimination the diorganoamidometalates Me₂M(Morph) ( M = Ga: 1 ; M = In: 2 ), respectively. 1 and 2 were characterized by NMR and vibrational spectroscopy as well as by X‐ray structure determinations. According to this, centrosymmetrical dimers are present in the solid state while a monomer‐dimer equilibrium was assumed for the THF‐solution. Cryoscopic molecular weight determinations confirmed our assumptions.     

Gallium and Indium Arsanido Metalates: Compounds Derived from the Zinc Blende and Wurtzite Structure

The reaction of InCl₃ with LiAs^tBu₂ in THF at –78 °C gives the indium arsenide Cl₂InAs^tBu₂ ( 1 ), which is dimer in solution and solid state. The corresponding reaction of InCl₃ with Li₂As^tBu leads to the metalate [Li(THF)₄]₂[(InCl)₄(InCl₂)₂(As^tBu)₆] ( 2 ). The arsanido metalate [Li(THF)₄]₂[(GaCl₂)₆(As^tBu)₄] · THF ( 3 · THF) could be obtained by treatment of GaCl₃ with Li₂As^tBu in the molar ratio 6 : 4. A comparable reaction with TlCl₃ and LiAsR₂ or LiPR₂, respectively, was not successful because of the oxidation potential of TlCl₃. The reaction mixture of TlCl₃ and LiPPh₂ for example gives TlCl and Ph₂P–PPh₂ ( 4 ) as redox products. The octaarsane [As(As^tBu)₃]₂ ( 5 ) can be obtained by the treatment of ^tBuAs(SiMe₃)₂ with TlCl₃ in THF. 1–5 were characterized by NMR, IR and MS techniques. The X‐ray analyses of 2 and 3 · THF show that 2 can be derived from the wurtzite structure while the zinc blende structure is the model for 3 with a adamantane‐like dianion [(GaCl₂)₆(As^tBu)₄]^2–.     

Dimethylerdmetall‐Heterocyclen als Derivate trimethylsilylierter, ‐germylierter und ‐stannylierter Phosphane und Arsane – Synthesen,Spektren und Strukturen

The mass, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ²⁹Si, ¹¹⁹Sn nmr, as well as the ir and Raman spectra have been discussed comparatively; selected representatives are characterized by X‐ray structure analyses. The dimeric species with four‐membered (E–M^III)₂ rings are isotypic and crystallize in the triclinic space group P1, the trimer [Me₂In–P(SnMe₃)₂]₃ with a strongly puckered (In–P)₃‐ring skeleton crystallizes with two formula units per cell in the same centrosymmetric triclinic space group.     

Arene Complexes of Univalent Gallium,Indium, and Thallium

Arene complexes of main-group metals were, until recently, rare species—in contrast to the now classical, analogous complexes of transition metals. In systematic investigations, it has been possible to prepare and structurally characterize arene complexes of the univalent elements gallium, indium, and thallium, which directly follow the d-block elements in the periodic table. This new type of compound is characterized by centric (η⁶) coordination of the metal to the arene; both mono- and bis(arene) complexes are known. The interaction can be explained by the perfect agreement between the HOMO/LUMO symmetry of the arene and of the low-valent metal. The electronic states of the nd¹⁰(n + 1)s² configuration, which are partially modified by relativistic effects, play a particularly important role. The relationship to the few known complexes of the neighboring elements (Sn^II, Pb^II) becomes plausible via the isoelectronic principle. The arene/Ga^I, In^I, Tl^I systems are of potential significance as homogeneous reducing agents and as agents for the activation of aromatic compounds, the purification of metals, and the separation of metals from nonaqueous media.

The mixed alkyl‐ or alkenylchloroaluminium alkoxides [Me(Cl)Al{μ‐O(CH₂)₂NMe₂}]₂ ( 6 ) and [{CH₂=C(CH₃)}(Cl)Al{μ‐O(CH₂)₂NMe₂}]₂ ( 8 ) are to obtain from Me₂AlCl and Me₂N(CH₂)₂OH and from [Cl₂Al{μ‐O(CH₂)₂NMe₂}]₂ ( 7 ) and CH₂=C(CH₃)MgBr, respectively. The analogous dimethylgallium alkoxides [Me₂Ga{μ‐O(CH₂)₃NMe₂}]₂ ( 9 ), [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)NH‐i‐Pr}]_n ( 10 ), [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)NHCH₂Ph}]_n ( 11 ), [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)N(Me)CH₂Ph}]_n ( 12 ) and [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂(C₄H₇NHCH₂Ph)}]_n ( 13 ) result from the equimolar reactions of GaMe₃ with the corresponding alcohols. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐ and ²⁷Al‐NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Additionally, the structures of 1a , 1b , 2a , 2b , 3a , 5 , 6 and 8 were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.

Hereby monomeric sulfinic acid imidamidates Me₂M(NSiMe₃)₂SMe (Me = CH₃) are formed. The lithium amidinates Li(NR′)₂CMe (R′ = i-C₃H₇ and SiMe₃) are formed likewise by insertion reactions with LiMe and the corresponding carbodiimides R′N?C?NR′ and were used in reactions with R₂MCl (M = Al to Tl) to synthesize dialkyl metal amidinates R₂M(NR′)₂CMe. The NMR (¹H and ¹³C) and the vibrational spectra (IR and Raman) are discussed and applied to describe the structure of these chelat complexes.

The reaction of ECl₃ (E = Al, Ga) with two equivalentsof Li₂Me₂Si(NPh)₂ (in diethyl ether/n‐hexane) leads to the formation of bis‐chelate complexes [Li(OEt₂)₃][E{Me₂Si(NPh)₂}₂] (E = Al ( 1 ), Ga ( 2 )). Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize isotypically in the monoclinic system with a = 1136.42(6), b = 3267.9(1), c = 1360.37(8) pm, β = 94.320(7)° for 1 and a = 1140.88(6), b = 3261.7(2), c = 1360.20(8) pm, β = 94.641(7)° for 2 . Both the compounds display a distorted tetrahedral coordination of the central metal atom to give a spirocyclic EN₄Si₂ core.

The central indium atom is coordinated by threeMe₂Si(NPh)₂^2– ligands in a distorted octahedral arrangement withIn–N bond lengths of 230.8 pm.

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen der Phosphaniminato-Komplexe [AlCl2(NPEt3)]2, [GaI2(NPEt3)]2 und [GaI2(NPPh3)]2

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Phosphoraneiminato Complexes [AlCl₂(NPEt₃)]₂, [GaI₂(NPEt₃)]₂, and [GaI₂(NPPh₃)]₂ [AlCl₂(NPEt₃)]₂ ( 1 ) is made according to the known method by reaction of aluminium trichloride with the silylated phosphaneimine Me₃SiNPEt₃ in acetonitrile; it is isolated as colourless, moisture sensitive crystals. The phosphoraneiminato complexes [GaI₂(NPEt₃)]₂ ( 2 ) and [GaI₂(NPPh₃)]₂ ( 3 ), on the other hand, are obtained by redox reactions as pale yellow crystals; ( 2 ) of “gallium(I) iodide” with Me₃SiNPEt₃ in toluene and ( 3 ) of gallium with N-iodine triphenylphosphaneimine, INPPh₃, in tetrahydrofuran. 1 and 3 are characterized spectroscopically and by crystal structure determinations; 2 is characterized only crystallographically. 1 : Space group Pbca, Z = 4; lattice dimensions at –70 °C: a = 1232.6(2), b = 1341.1(2), c = 1393.4(3) pm, R₁ = 0.0315. 1 forms centrosymmetric molecules in which the Al atoms are linked via Al–N bonds of the two (NPEt₃^–) groups; with 185.0 and 184.4 pm these bonds are of almost the same lengths. 2 : Space group Pbca, Z = 4; lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1380.0(1), b = 1311.0(1), c = 1429.1(1) pm, R₁ = 0.0273. 2 crystallizes isotypically with 1 .
