The reactivity of gallium(i) and indium(i) halides towards bipyridines, terpyridines, imino-substituted pyridines and bis(imino)acenaphthenes
Abstract
“GaI” reacts with C(H)Py, Py =
N functionality occurs to give the diamido-digallium(III) complexes [{I2Ga[η2-(Py)(NR)C(H)]}2]. In contrast, InCl reacts with ArN
C(H)Py to give an adduct, [InCl3(THF){η2-ArN
C(H)Py}], via disproportionation of the metal
C(Me)}2(NC5H3), bimpy, with “GaI” affords the salt [GaI2(bimpy)][GaI4]. Finally, the reaction of
