A Dimethylgallium Boryl Complex and Its Methyllithium Addition Compound
The three-coordinate complex Me<sub>2</sub>GaÂ[BÂ(NArCH)<sub>2</sub>] (Ar = C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub><i>i</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>-2,6) is accessible via a tandem Lewis acidâbase metathesis protocol employing (THF)<sub>2</sub>LiÂ[BÂ(NArCH)<sub>2</sub>] and GaMe<sub>3</sub>. It features
a very
short GaâB bond of 2.067(3) Ă
, which was further investigated
by DFT calculations and the analysis of the electron density. Reaction
of MeLi with Me<sub>2</sub>GaÂ[BÂ(NArCH)<sub>2</sub>] forms tetrameric
[LiMe<sub>3</sub>GaÂ{BÂ(NArCH)<sub>2</sub>}]<sub>4</sub> with a ânanowheelâ
structure
Half-Sandwich Rare-Earth-Metal Alkylaluminate Complexes Bearing Peripheral Boryl Ligands
[(C<sub>5</sub>Me<sub>5</sub>)ÂLnMe<sub>2</sub>]<sub>3</sub> (Ln = Y, Lu)
dissolve readily in a <i>n</i>-hexane/toluene mixture upon
addition of 3 equiv of the organoaluminum boryl compound [Me<sub>2</sub>AlÂ{BÂ(NDippCH)<sub>2</sub>}]<sub>2</sub> (Dipp = C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub><i>i</i>Pr<sub>2</sub>-2,6). The half-sandwich complexes
(C<sub>5</sub>Me<sub>5</sub>)ÂLnÂ[(AlMe<sub>3</sub>)Â{BÂ(NDippCH)<sub>2</sub>}]<sub>2</sub> thus formed display unsymmetrical heteroaluminate
coordination not only in the solid state but also at lower temperatures
in solution, which is distinct from the behavior of the homoaluminate
congeners (C<sub>5</sub>Me<sub>5</sub>)ÂLnÂ(AlMe<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>. The effect of homo- versus heteroaluminate coordination is assessed
in the coordinative polymerization of isoprene
