Replacement of CO ligands by the isolobal gallium(I) compound GaR [R = C(SiMe3)3], formation of the transition metal gallium compounds Mn2(CO)8(μ-GaR)2 and Fe3(CO)9(μ-CO)(μ-GaR)2
Abstract
The tetrahedral alkylgallium(I) compound Ga4R41 [R = C(SiMe3)3] dissociates in solution with the formation of the monomeric fragments GaR, which are isolobal to carbon monoxide and are able to replace CO
