“…Among anionic oxo ligands, both single and internally functionalized alkoxides have been extensively studied and several of them have been employed as catalysts and also as molecular precursors for MOCVD [3,4]. Unlike alkoxides, organo-gallium and -indium carboxylates are relatively under explored [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and when studied, investigations were limited to simple carboxylic acids. The complexes [R 2 Ga(O 2 CR 0 )] 2 (R = Me, Et, Bu t ; R 0 = Me, Et, Ph, C 6 H 4 CN-3, C 6 H 4 Br-3) are centrosymmetric dimers in which two ''R 2 Ga'' units are bridged by two carboxylate groups [5,6].…”
