SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF [TP(BU-T)(2)]GAS - A TERMINAL GALLIUM SULFIDE COMPLEX IN A SYSTEM FOR WHICH THE INDIUM COUNTERPART IS A TETRASULFIDO DERIVATIVE, [TP(BU-T)(2)]IN(ETA(2)-S-4)

The synthesis of the terminal gallium sulfide complex [Tp(But2)]GaS vi
a the reaction of monovalent [Tp(But2)]Ga with elemental sulfur provid
es a striking contrast with the formation of the tetrasulfido derivati
ve [Tp(But2)]In(eta(2)-S-4) in the indium system; such an observation
provides a strong indication that gallium exhibits a greater tendency
to partake in multiple bonding than does indium.
