A Simple Homoleptic Gallium(I) Olefin Complex: Mimicking Transition‐Metal Chemistry at a Main‐Group Metal?

The earth‐metal olefin complex [Ga(I)(COD)(2)](+)[Al(OR(F))(4)](−) (COD=1,5‐cyclooctadiene; R(F)=C(CF(3))(3)) constitutes the first homoleptic olefin complex of any main‐group metal accessible as a bulk compound. It is straight forward to prepare in good yield and constitutes an olefin complex of a...

Descripción
Sumario:The earth‐metal olefin complex [Ga(I)(COD)(2)](+)[Al(OR(F))(4)](−) (COD=1,5‐cyclooctadiene; R(F)=C(CF(3))(3)) constitutes the first homoleptic olefin complex of any main‐group metal accessible as a bulk compound. It is straight forward to prepare in good yield and constitutes an olefin complex of a main‐group metal that—similar to many transition‐metals—may adopt the +1 and +3 oxidation states opening potential applications. Crystallographic‐, vibrational‐ and computational investigations give an insight to the atypical bonding between an olefin and a main‐group metal. They are compared to classical transition‐metal relatives.
