Usage

General Description

Gallium triphenyl is a chemical compound consisting of three phenyl groups attached to a central gallium atom. It is generally used as a precursor in the synthesis of other organogallium compounds. Gallium triphenyl is known for its high reactivity and is often used as a reagent in organic chemistry reactions, particularly in the development of new synthetic methodologies. It can also act as a catalyst or co-catalyst in various organic transformations, making it a valuable tool in the field of chemical synthesis. Additionally, gallium triphenyl has potential applications in the production of optoelectronic materials and medical imaging agents. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may present health hazards if not used properly.

Synthesis and characterization of four-membered gallium-arsenic ring compounds containing a bridging As(SiMe3)2 group: crystal structures of and

The first organogallium four-membered ring compounds with arsenic, halogen mixed bridging to be characterized completely, Ph2(X = Cl (1) and X = Br (2) were prepared by the reaction of (Me3Si)3As (3) with Ph2GaCl and Ph2GaBr, respectively.X-ray crystallographic analyses show the compounds to be isostructural with each containing a non-planar Ga-As-Ga-X four membered ring.Isomorphous crystals of 1 and 2 belong to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c (C52h), with four molecules in unit cells of dimensions: a 10.560(3), b 15.797(3), c 20.591(4) Angstroem, β 92.17(2) deg, V 3433(2) Angstroem3 for 1, and a 10.653(1), b 15.777(2), c 20.517(2) Angstroem, β 91.97(1) deg, V 3446(1) Angstroem3 for 2.The non-planarity of the rings is manifested in the halogen atom displacements of 0.256 Angstroem in 1 and 0.293 Angstroem in 2 from the respective Ga-As-Ga' planes.Deviations from overall C2y symmetry serve to relieve unfavorable intramolecular bulky ring substituent interaction present in such a symmetric form.The dimer 2 (4), obtained from the reaction of Ph2GaCl and LiAs(SiMe3)2, has been characterized by partial elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy and cryoscopic molecular weight determination.An alternative route to the synthesis of 1 by reaction of 4 and Ph2GaCl was investigated via NMR spectroscopy.

Aryl(dimethyl)gallium compounds and methyl(diphenyl)gallium: Synthesis, structure, and redistribution reactions

Treatment of diphenylmercury with an excess of trimethylgallium at higher temperatures resulted in the formation of dimethyl(phenyl)gallium (1). Similarly, reaction of 1-chloromercurio(4-methylbenzene) and 1-chloromercurio(4-tert-butylbenzene) with an excess of trimethylgallium gave dimethyl(4methylphenyl)gallium (2) and dimethyl(4-tert-butylphenyl)gallium (3), respectively. Treatment of diphenylmercury with an equivalent amount of trimethylgallium resulted in the formation of methyl(diphenyl)gallium (4). The X-ray crystallographic studies of compounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 revealed the presence of trigonal planar coordinate gallium atoms in monomeric molecules, which associate to polymeric strands by additional intermolecular gallium π-aryl contacts, thus leading to an overall trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry at gallium. Compounds 1-4 are stable in the solid state and in solution. Substituent redistribution reactions take place at higher temperatures and at room temperature in the presence of THF. Compound 1 could also be prepared by the reaction of triphenylgallium with an excess of trimethylgallium at higher temperatures.
