Abstract
(Figure Presented) Partial protolysis of GaCp* with [H-(OEt 2)2]+[BArF]- afforded the GaI compound [Ga2Cp*]+[BAr F]- (see structure). Experimental and computational studies confirm the mainly ionic structure of the cation, in which the Ga + ions are only weakly covalently stabilized by a bridging Cp* ligand. Initial experiments point to the interesting synthetic potential of this compound as a source for Ga+ in solution.
