摘要:
The reaction of MMes(3) (M = Ga, In; Mes = 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)) with CsF in acetonitrile yields the trimesitylfluorometalates [{Cs(MeCN)(2)}{Mes(3)MF}](2) . 2MeCN([1](2) . 6MeCN, M = Ga; [2](2) . 6MeCN, M = In). Ga(CH(2)Ph)(3) gives with CsF under the same conditions the salt [Cs{(PhCH(2))(3)GaF}](2) . 2MeCN ([3](2) . 2MeCN). The treatment of 1 equiv CsF with 2 equiv of GaMes(3) does not lead to Cs[Mes(3)GaFGaMes(3)] but to [1](2) . 6MeCN and the adduct [Mes(3)Ga(MeCN)] (4). [1](2) . 6MeCN-4 have been characterized by NMR, IR, and MS techniques as well as by X-ray analyses. [1](2) . 6MeCN and [2](2) . 6MeCN are solvated ion pairs in acetonitrile, while [3](2) . 2MeCN shows a monomer-dimer equilibrium. According to the X-ray structure determinations, [1](2) . 6MeCN and [2](2) . 6MeCN are isostructural and contain Cs-F four-membered rings. The fluorine centers at the rings are bound to the metallane groups. Each cesium cation is coordinated by two molecules of acetonitrile and by one mesityl group in a eta(3)-fashion. The basic structural feature of [3](2) . 2MeCN is also a Cs-F four-membered ring; however, the cations in [3](2) . 2MeCN are surrounded by three phenyl groups of the benzyl substituents. The three eta(6)-bound phenyl rings are contributed from two different metallane units. 4 possesses a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere with a low pyramidalization of the Ga center (angular sum: 355 degrees).
