title: Gallium-boron donor-acceptor bonds.
abstract: Examples of compounds with gallium-boron donor-acceptor bonds, HC[MeC(2,6-pri2C6H3)N]2Ga-->B(C6F5)3 3 and (eta 5-C5Me5)Ga-->B(C6F5)3 4 have been prepared by treatment of the free gallanediyls with B(C6F5)3; the structures of both compounds were determined by X-ray crystallography.
