C26H22I6Ga2P2 (1297.28)
Calcd C 24.07 H 1.71%,
Found C 24.33 H 1.73%.
The product is the same for reactions with the molar ra-
tio of reactants 1:1, along with E-1,2-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2.
Hydrolysis of lb affords E-l,2-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2.
The compound with the net composition (Z-
dppee)InBr3 (3) was found to have the ionic struc-
ture [(Z-dppee)2lnBr2]+[InBr4]_ . The monoclinic
lattice (space group P2!/c, Z = 4) is built from
two crystallographically independent halves of two
cations, one anion and 1/2 CHCI3. The indium
atoms of the cations (Ini, In2) are residing on cen-
ters of inversion. The two cations are structurally
very similar and do not require a separate discus-
sion. The chelation of the phosphanes to the lin-
ear InBr2+ unit results in the formation of five-
membered C2P2In-heterocycles in envelope confor-
mation, with In 1and In2 as spiro-centers. The anion
has a standard tetrahedral structure.
[Z-1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene[Ini3 (2)
Indium triiodide (409 mg, 0.825 mmol) is added to a
solution of Z -1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene (326 mg,
0.825 mmol) in 10 ml of dichloromethane. After stirring
for 1 h at room temperature the solution is layered with
pentane. Yield 688 mg (94%) of pale yellow crystals (m.p.
249°C).1H NMR (CDCI3,20°C): 6 = 7.21 - 7.59, m, PCH

Experimental Part
General: All experiments were carried out routinely
in an atmosphere of purified dry nitrogen. Solvents were
dried and kept under nitrogen, and glassware was oven-
dried and filled with nitrogen. All starting materials were
commercially available. Gallium and indium trihalides
were stored and handled in a glove box.
Heating of the reaction mixture up to 100 °C for 1 h in
toluene leads to the same product.
[Z-1,2 -Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene]2lnBr2+ InBr4 (3)
Z-l,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene (127 mg, 0.32
mmol) and InBri (115 mg, 0.32 mmol) are reacted in
10 ml of toluene at room temperature for 2 h. The pre-
cipitate is recrystallized from chloroform / pentane. Yield
223 mg (92%) of colorless crystals (m.p. 202°C).1H NMR

[E-l,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene](GaBrj)2 (la)
Gallium tribromide (156 mg, 0.50 mmol) and Z-1,2-
bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene (100 mg, 0.25 mmol) are
reacted in 10 ml of toluene at 80 °C for 1 h. The solvent is
distilled off in a vacuum and the residue is recrystallized
from chloroform / pentane. Besides traces of a yellow
oil, 203 mg (80%) of colorless crystals (m. p. 254°C) are
formed. 'H NMR (CDCI3, 20°C): 6 = 7.06, t, JPH = 20

Crystal structure determinations
The product is the same for reactions with the molar ra-
tio of reactants 1:1, along with E-l,2-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2.
Hydrolysis of la affords E-l,2-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2.
Specimens of suitable quality and size of compounds
la, 2, and 3 were mounted in glass capillaries and used
for measurements of precise cell constants and intensity
data collection on an Enraf Nonius CAD4 diffractome-
ter (Mo-A'q radiation, A(Mo-A'Q) = 0.71073 A). During
data collection, three standard reflections were measured
periodically as a general check of crystal and instrument
stability. No significant changes were observed for crys-
tals of compounds la and 2, wereas a decay of 53 %

mg, 0.55 mmol) and Z -1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene
