title: Synthesis, characterization, and X-ray crystal structure of a gallium monohydroxide and a hetero-bimetallic gallium zirconium oxide.
abstract: A monomeric hydroxide of gallium, LGa(Me)OH, containing terminal hydroxide and methyl groups was prepared by the hydrolysis of LGa(Me)Cl in the presence of N-heterocyclic carbene and water [L = HC{(CMe)(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N)}2] in high yield and in a pure form. LGa(Me)OH was used as a synthon to assemble the first hetero-bimetallic compound with a Ga-O-Zr core, [(LGaMe)(Cp2ZrMe)](mu-O).
