Abstract
(Chemical Presented) The smallest possible gallium alkyl species, the otherwise elusive GaCH3, has been generated by protolytic cleavage of Cp*H from a coordinated a {Ga-(CH3)Cp*} moiety and trapped in the title complex (see structure; C white, Ga blue, Rh brown). The counterintuitive shortening of the Rh-GaCH3 bond upon adduct formation with pyridine illustrates that bond lengths alone are insufficient for the assignment of bond order.
