Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure of [Me₂Ga(^tBuNH₂)₂]Br (1) has been determined. The compound was prepared in a 51% yield via the reaction of t-BuNH₂ with Me₂GaBr in Et₂O solution. The solid state of 1 consists of [Me₂Ga(^tBuNH₂)₂)⁺ cations and bromide anions. The gallium cation adopts a highly distorted tetrahedral geometry with Me(1)-Ga-Me(2) and N(1)-Ga-N(2) angles of 121.5(5) and 95.6(3)°, respectively.
