Reactivity of Distibanes toward Trialkylalanes and -gallanes:  Syntheses and X-ray Structures of Bisadducts and Heterocycles

Reactions between distibanes of the type Sb2R4 and trialkylalanes and -gallanes R‘3M in 1:2 stoichiometry yield eight bisadducts of the type [Sb2R4][MR‘3]2 (R = Me, R‘ = t-Bu, M = Al 1, Ga 2; R = Et, M = Al, R‘ = Me 3, Et 4, t-Bu 5; M = Ga, R‘ = Me 6, Et 7, t-Bu 8), which were characterized by multinuclear NMR studies and elemental analysis. In addition, 1, 2, 5, and 8 are the first structurally characterized neutral main group Lewis acid−distibane bisadducts. 1−8 are unstable in solution toward the formation of heterocycles of the type [R2SbMR‘2]x. [Me2SbGa(t-Bu)2]3 (9) and [Et2SbGa(t-Bu)2]2 (10) have been isolated and their solid state structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffrac…

Bimetallic Complexes from Amphoteric Group 13/15 Ligands: Syntheses and X-ray Crystal Structures

Bimetallic, pentel-bridged complexes of the type [(dmap)Me 2 -M-E(SiMe 3 ) 2 -M'(CO) n ] (M = Al, Ga; E=P, As, Sb; M'=Cr, Fe, Ni; DMAP= 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine) are formed by reactions of DMAP-coordinated monomeric Group 13/15 compounds [(dmap)Me 2 M-E(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] with the transition metal complexes [(Me 3 N)Cr-(CO) 5 ], [Fe 3 (CO) 1 2 ], and [Ni(CO) 4 ]. For the first time, this reaction offers a general pathway to compounds containing a Group 13 metal and a transition metal bridged by a pentel atom. Complexes prepared in this way were characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Their electronic and structural properties are disc…
