Abstract:
Monovalent RAl (R=HCC(Me)N(2,6‐iPr2C6H3)]2) reacts with E2Et4 (E=Sb, Bi) with insertion into the weak E? E bond and subsequent formation of RAl(EEt2)2 (E=Sb 1 ; Bi 2 ). The analogous reactions of RGa with E2Et4 yield a temperature‐dependent equilibrium between RGa(EEt2)2 (E=Sb 3 ; Bi 4 ) and the starting reagents. RIn does not interact with Sb2Et4 under various reaction conditions, but formation of RIn(BiEt2)2 ( 5 ) was observed in the reaction with Bi2Et4 at low temperature.
