Dalton communications. Formation and crystal structure of the pyridine (py) adduct of trimeric gallium sulfide chloride, (GaSCl·py)3
Abstract
The reaction of a toluene solution of Ga[GaCl4] with elemental sulfur at ambient temperature gave GaSCl, to which pyridine (py) could be added to yield a crystalline adduct (GaSCl·py)3 featuring a boat-shaped gallium–sulfur ring structure.
