Abstract

Abstract : The first examples of boryl substituted aluminylene and gallylene complexes (see picture, DAB = {(C6 H3 Pr i 2 -2, 6)NCH}2 ) have been prepared by reduction of boryl-group 13 dihalide compounds with K2 [Fe(CO)4 ]. Abstract : The first examples of boryl substituted aluminylene and gallylene complexes, [(DAB)B(THF)Al{Fe(CO)3 (μ-CO)}]2 and [(DAB)BGa{μ-Fe(CO)4 }]2 (DAB = {(C6 H3 Pr i 2 -2, 6)NCH}2 ) have been prepared by reduction of MX2 (THF){B(DAB)} (M = Al or Ga, X = Cl or Br) with K2 [Fe(CO)4 ]. Spectroscopic and crystallographic analyses of the compounds show them to be structurally distinct dimers, the latter of which possesses a close Ga⋯Ga separation that computational analyses reveal has negligible bonding character.
