Abstract
The compound (Me3CCH2)(2)Ga(C5H5) has been observed to react at room t emperature in pentane solution with HPEt2 and H2P(C6H11) to eliminate C5H6 and form [(Me3CCH2)(2)-GaPEt2](2) and [(Me3CCH2)(2)GaP(H)(C6H11)] (2), respectively. The additional new compound [(Me3CCH2)(2)GaP(C6H11) (2)](2) was prepared by a metathetical reaction between Ga(CH2CMe3)(2) -Cl and LiP(C6H11)(2) in diethyl ether. All three compounds were fully characterized in solution, whereas two of the three, [(Me3CCH2)(2)GaP Et2](2) and [(Me3CCH2)(2)GaP(C6H11)(2)](2), were characterized by X-ra y structural studies.
