Abstract

AbstractSubvalent Gallium Triflates – Potentially Useful Starting Materials for Gallium Cluster CompoundsBy reaction of GaCp* with trifluormethanesulfonic acid in hexane a mixture of gallium trifluormethanesulfonates (triflates, OTf) is obtained. This mixture reacts readily with lithiumsilanides [Li(thf)3Si(SiMe3)2R] (R = Me, SiMe3) to afford the cluster compounds [Ga6{Si(SiMe3)Me}6], [Ga2{Si(SiMe3)3}4] and [Ga10{Si(SiMe3)3}6]. By crystallization from various solvents the gallium triflates [Ga(OTf)3(thf)3], [HGa(OTf)(thf)4]+ [Ga(OTf)4(thf)3]−, [Cp*GaGa(OTf)2]2 and [Ga(toluene)2]+ [Ga5(OTf)6(Cp*)2]− were isolated and characterized by single crystal X ray structure analysis.
