Abstract

Thermally robust chlorogallanes, Cy3PGaH2Cl 1 and Cy3PGaHCl2 2, accessible by redistribution reactions involving Cy3PGaH3 and Cy3PGaCl3 (Cy=cyclohexyl) or 1 via anhydrous HCl reaction with Cy3PGaH 3, show phosphine but not chloride-hydride exchange in aromatic solvents; treatment of 1 with [Li(PCy2)(thf)n] affords trimeric [{H2Ga(μ-PCy2)}3] 3, which crystallises in a twist-boat conformation.
