Dimethylalkoxygallane incorporating a donor-functionalised alkoxide: the monomeric gas-phase structure.
The structure of the vapour produced upon heating the dimethylalkoxygallane [Me(2)GaOCH(2)CH(2)NMe(2)](2) has been studied by gas-phase electron diffraction and ab initio molecular orbital calculations; only the monomeric form [Me(2)GaOCH(2)CH(2)NMe(2)] is observed in the vapour, with the nitrogen atom forming a dative bond with the metal centre.
