Stepwise assembly of a bis-hydroxylaminato gallium-indium complex

摘要

A heterobimetallic gallium-indium complex with five-coordinate InMe group bonded via two O and two N atoms to a [GaR2ON(Me)(CH2)(2)N(Me)O](2) macrocycle resulted from the reaction of the OH- and NH-functional bishydroxylaminato complex of gallium, MeN(OH)(CH2)(2)N(H)(Me)OGaR2O-cyclo[N(Me)(CH2)(2)N(Me)OGaR2] (R = Bu-t) with InMe3, whereas the reaction of the latter with Me3N center dot AlH3 affords a gallium hydride with Ga-Ga bonds.
