Abstract: | The organometallic complexes of general formula Me 2 Ga{(XPR 2 ) (YPR′ 2 )N}] (R, R′ = Ph, X, Y = O, (1); R, R′ = Ph, X, Y = S (2); R, R′ = Ph, X = O, Y = S (3); R = Me, R′ = Ph, X = O, Y = S (4)) were obtained by alkane eliminations from Me 3 Ga and the free acidic ligands, LH, in toluene solutions. Complexes 1– 4 seem to be potential precursors to cationic gallium species. |
