Neutral and Cationic Bis(guanidinate) Digallanes and Gallium-Catalyzed Alkene Hydroboration

Abstract A bis(guanidinate) supported gallium dihydride, (L)GaH2; (1-H) (where L = {(DepHN)(DepN)–C═N–C═(NDep)(NHDep)}; Dep = 2,6-Et2-C6H3), serves as an ideal precursor for accessing neutral and cationic Gall–Gall bonded species. The neutral digallane [(L)GaCl]2 (2) can be acces...
