A Heterobimetallic Gallyl Complex Containing an Unsupported Ga-Y Bond
The synthesis and characterization of the first unsupported Ga-Y bond in [Y{Ga(NArCH)(2))[C(PPh2NSiMe3)(2))(THF)(2)] (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) is described; structural and computational analyses are consistent with a highly polarized covalent Ga-Y bond.
