Abstract
Systematic NMR studies of (dialkyl/diaryl)chlorophosphine−gallium chloride reaction mixtures reveal three structural alternatives, which are related by equilibria in solution, and their relative stability is dependent on the nature of the substituent (R = Me, Et, iPr, tBu, Ph) and the reaction stoichiometry. The coordination complex R2(Cl)P→GaCl3 is observed in all cases, and a derivative (R = iPr) has been crystallographically characterized. Tetrachlorogallate salts of the diphosphorus cations [R2(Cl)P−PR2]+ are observed for smaller R substituents (R = Me, Et, iPr, Ph), consistent with a previous report. Solid-state 31P CP-MAS NMR spectra distinguish the methyl derivative from the novel salt [Me2(Cl)P−P(Me2)−GaCl3][GaCl4], containing a phosphine−phosphenium−gallium chloride cation, which has been crystallographically characterized. Factors governing the relative stabilities of the structural alternatives are discussed, and comparisons are made between the isomeric forms for R2(Cl)P:GaCl3.
