    Abstract

    Three complexes from one reaction: The reaction of N-(2-hydroxyethyl) iminodiacetic acid with Ga(NO3)3 yields an alkoxobridged dimer, a Ga8 cluster (see picture), and a Ga13 cluster. The structures of these complexes and the structural relationships between them are reported, and the insight they may shed on the general mechanism of cluster formation is discussed.
