“…IR spectra were recorded on a Bruker model Vector 22 FTIR instrument, and HPLC separations were performed on a Jasco TRI-ROTAR IV machine equipped with a DG-3510 degasser and UVIDEC 100-VI UV spectrophotometer. Trimethylindium, [16] trin-butylindium, [16] [3-(dimethylamino)propyl-C,N]dimethylaluminum (1a), [17] [3-(dimethylamino)propyl-C,N]dimethylgallium (1b), [18] [3-(dimethylamino)propyl-C,N]dimethylindium (1c), [18] bis{µ-[2-(dimethylamino)ethanolato-N,O:O]}tetramethyldi-aluminum (2a), [19] bis{µ- [2-(dimethylamino)ethanolato-N,O:O]}-tetramethyldigallium (2b), [20] and bis{µ-[2-(dimethylamino)ethanolato-N,O:O]}tetramethyldiindium (2c) [21] were prepared as described in the literature. 4-Hydroxyphenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate was synthesized from 4-aminophenol via the diazonium tetrafluoroborate.…”
