Abstract

The magnesium- and calcium-gallium heterocycle complexes [Mg-{Ga[(ArNCH)2]}2(THF)3] and [Ca{Ga[(ArNCR)2]}2(THF)4], R = H or Me, Ar = C6H3Pri2-2,6 have been prepared via the reduction of [I2Ga{(ArNCR)2}] with the group 2 metal in tetrahydrofuran. The mechanisms of the reactions have been elucidated, and the crystal structures of the complexes exhibit the first structurally authenticated Ga-Mg and Ga-Ca bonds in molecular species. Theoretical studies suggest that the heterocycle-group 2 metal interactions have significant ionic character. © 2006 American Chemical Society.
