Abstract

This publication summarizes our attempts to prepare precursor molecules of formula Bn2MN3-THF [where Bn = benzyl, M = Ga (3) and Al (8)] and to use them in the low-temperature synthesis of AlN and GaN. Compound 3 was prepared from Bn2GaCl-THF (2) and Me3SiN3. Compound 8 was obtained by a different route which requires the combination of Cl2AlN3 and BnMgCl in toluene. During the course of this work two new amides, [Bn2AlNMe2)2 (4) and Bn2AlN(SiMe3)2-THF (5) were prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.
