for two hours at room temperature. Subsequently the solution was
cooled to 6 °C. After three days red crystals of 4 formed from
this solution. Yield: 0.1 g (54%). C60H122Cl4Ga4P2Sb4Si4 · 2 C6H6

constituents have been eliminated and the formation of cu-
bic GaSb occurs.
Experimental Section
All manipulations were performed with rigorous exclusion of oxy-
gen and moisture using a Schlenk line and nitrogen atmosphere.
Solvents were dried and freshly distilled before use. [(DME)LiE-
(SiMe3)2]2 was prepared according to a literature procedure.[7]
GaCl3 (99.99%) and iPr3SiCl (97%) were obtained from Aldrich
and used as received.

man-Israeli Foundation for Scientific Research and Development.
We thank Dr. P. Kramkowski for his valuable help with the manu-

iPr3SiAs(SiMe3)2 (1): A mixture of iPr3SiCl (12.1 g) in DME
(20 mL) was added to a solution of [(DME)LiAs(SiMe3)2]2 (20 g,
63 mmol) in DME (200 mL) over a period of two hours at 0 °C.
Subsequently the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 16
hours at room temperature and then filtered. All volatile compon-
ents were then removed under vacuum and the resulting residue
was fractionally distilled to give 1 as a highly viscous liquid at

3: PnPr2Ph (0.94 g, 4.88 mmol) was added to a solution of GaCl3
(0.43 g, 2.44 mmol) in 30 mL of iPr2O. After stirring for one hour
iPr3SiSb(SiMe3)2 (1.04 g, 2.44 mmol) was added. The reaction mix-
ture was then stirred for an additional 24 hours. Subsequently the
resulting red solution was filtered to remove small amounts of in-
soluble residues and the volume was reduced to 10 mL under va-
cuum. After addition of 5 mL heptane and cooling to 6 °C yellow
crystals of 3 formed over a period of two days. Yield: 0.59 g (42%).
