Abstract
A weakly associated hexamer is formed for [GaCp*] (Cp*=C5 Me5 ) in the solid state (see picture). The recent X-ray crystal structure analyses of [GaCp*] as well as the monomeric InI and TlI compounds [M(2,4,6-Trip3 C6 H2 )] (Trip=2,4,6-iPr3 C6 H2 ) throw new light on the association and aggregation of monovalent Group 13 elements in the solid state. The synthesis of [Ni0 {In[C(SiMe3 )3 ]}4 ], a complex with terminally bonded InI R ligands, offers alternative σ-donor/π-acceptor ligands to organometallic chemists. The newest results in this area are likely to open up new and intriguing possibilities in the preparation of main group-transition metal clusters.
