Structure and bonding in haloarylgallyl complexes of iron, ruthenium and osmium [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2M{Ga(X)(Ph)}]: A theoretical study

The solid-state, solution and gas–phase interactions of diphosphane monooxide spacers with heavier group 8,9 transition metals and gallium in novel organometallic assemblies: An experimental and computational study

“…The reactions of 5 or 6 with GaCl 3 occur at room temperature without measurable cluster core decomposition, whereas the reactions between 1e4 and GaCl 3 need a lower temperature to prevent the metal skeleton deconstruction. Compounds 7,8,11, and 12 are moderately air-stable and they are not destroyed on short silica column. Compounds 9 and 10 have relatively short life time in solution as well as in the solid state.…”

“…for the mixed IrGa complexes is much smaller with only 5 crystal structures. Concerning mixed-metal OsGa complexes, no synthesis or structural data are available up to now, nevertheless some theoretical works appeared [8]. Therefore, one of the main goals of our work was to synthesise and structurally characterise the first organometallic OsGa complex and to gain an insight into the nature of its metaleligand interactions using the combination of experimental and computational tools.…”

On the electronic spectra and optical properties of [(η5-C5H5)(L)2M(GaMe2)] complexes (M = Fe, Ru, Os; L = CO, PMe3): A theoretical approach

“…More recently, Pandey and co-workers have investigated the structure and bonding situation in some of the transition metal complexes containing dihalogallyl [11], dimethylgallyl [12], and haloarylgallyl [13]. However, in spite of a large number of experimental and theoretical studies about structure, nature of chemical bonding, weak interactions, etc.…”
