Abstract
Abstract The three compounds Ga 2 Cl 4 (4-mepy) 2 ( 1 ), [GaCl 2 (4-mepy) 4 ]GaCl 4 · 1 2 (4-mepy) ( 2 ) and GaCl 2 (4-mepy) 2 (S 2 CNEt 2 ) ( 3 ) (4-mepy = 4-methylpyridine) have been prepared from reactions of gallium (II) chloride in 4-methylpyridine and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Small variations in the reaction conditions of gallium(II) chloride can produce crystals with substantially different structural properties. The three compounds described here encompass a neutral gallium(II) dimer in which each gallium is four-coordinate, an ionic compound containing both anionic and cationic gallium complex ions with different coordination numbers and a neutral six-coordinate heteroleptic dialkyldithiocarbamate species.
