Bis(μ-N,N-dimethylhydrazido-κ2N′:N′)bis[dimethylgallium(III)

Abstract

The title centrosymmetric coordination compound, [Ga2(CH3)4(C2H7N2)2], contains tetrahedral Ga atoms bonded to two N atoms of the hydrazide ligands and two C atoms of the methyl groups. The Ga atoms are bridged by hydrazide moieties, creating a planar four-membered Ga2N2 ring, which may be considered as the main structural feature. The Ga—N bond distances are equal [2.018 (2) and 2.019 (2) A] within experimental error.
