Syntheses, Characterization, Crystal and Molecular Structures and Solution Properties of Et2Ga(C5H5) and EtGa(C5H5) 2.

Abstract : The compounds Et2Ga(C5H5) and EtGa(C5H5)2 have been prepared by ligand redistribution reactions in pentane solution between appropriate quantities of GaEt3 and Ga(C5H5)3. Both compounds have been fully characterized by elemental analyses, X-ray structural studies, cryoscopic molecular weight studies in benzene solution, mass spectroscopic studies, 1H NMR studies of solutions and 1H NMR studies of the melts. Both compounds exist as pure single compounds in the solid state. jg
