Coordination complexes of gallium(in) and indium(III) halides. III. Complexes of gallium(III) halides with 2,2′-bipyridyl

Abstract

The new complexes GaCl3(bipy), GaBr3(bipy)2MeCN, GaBr3(bipy)2, Gala(bipy), and the related compounds [GaCl2(bipy)2]BF4, [GaCl2(bipy)2]PF6, [GaBr2(bipy)2]PF6 (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) have been prepared and characterized. Conductivity and far-infrared measurements suggest the structures [GaCl2(bipy)2][GaCl4], [GaBr2(bipy)2]Br, and [GaI2(bipy)2][GaI4] for the trihalide adducts.
