Gallium halides complex hydrides

A mixed indium hydride halide complex, (l) InH2Cl (29) has been prepared from the 1 1 reaction of [InH2Cl(NMe3) ] with carbene (1) (R = Mes, R = H), as shown in Scheme iP The structure of (29) is monomeric with the geometry at the In center close to tetrahedral. The In-C distance (2.244(6) A) is similar to those observed in (28) (2.200(7) A) and (25) (2.253(5) A). A related mixed gallium hydride iodide complex (1) GaH2l (30) has been isolated from the reaction of (26) with GaT, with concomitant deposition of galhum metal. Complex (30) is isostructural with the related indium complex (29) and has a Ga-C bond distance of 2.022(4) A.

A review of the chemistry of Group III complexes shows that many of the concepts of Werner s coordination chemistry may be applied to these elements. Furthermore, the differences observed in the complexing behavior between ammonia and trimethylamine refiect fundamental differences in the amines. Ammonia tends to give ionic compounds, whereas trimethylamine tends to give non-ionic products. Trends observed with the metal halides can be extrapolated into hydrides of boron, aluminum, and gallium. An extension of Werner s concepts provides a significant...
