Abstract
Reactions of lithium salts of the bulky guanidinate and phosphaguanidinate ligands, [ArNC(ER2)NAr]− (ER2 = NPri2 (Priso−), cis-NC5H8Me2-2,6 (Pipiso−) or P(C6H11)2 (PGiso−); Ar = C6H3Pri2-2,6), with group 13 metal(I) halides have been carried out. All reactions with TlBr led to monomeric thallium(I) complexes, [Tl{ArNC(ER2)NAr}], in which the ligand chelates the metal in an N,arene-fashion. The reactions with InCl led to mixed results and the isolation of the dimeric indium(II) complexes, [{InCl(Priso)}2] and [{InCl(Pipiso)}2], and the monomeric indium(I) species, [In(Pipiso)] and [In(PGiso)]. The ligands of the latter two complexes exhibit differing coordination modes in the solid state, namely N,N'-chelating and N,arene-chelating, respectively. The reactions with "GaI" were less successful and gave only low yields of the poorly characterised gallium(II) complexes, [{GaI(Priso)}2] and [{GaI(Pipiso)}2]. This study has shown that the related ligand, [ArNC{N(C6H11)2}NAr]− (Giso−) is superior for the stabilisation of group 13 metal(I) complexes. The oxidative additions of I2 or SiMe3I to one such complex, [Ga(Giso)], yielded the gallium(III) compounds, [GaI2(Giso)] and [GaI(SiMe3)(Giso)].
