title: Organo-aluminium and -gallium complexes with omega-NH-functional alkoxide ligands.
abstract: The aminoalcohols MeNH(CH(2))(2)OH (), (t)BuNH(CH(2))(2)OH (), MeNH(CH(2))(3)OH (), (t)BuNH(CH(2))(3)OH () and MeNHCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)OAlMe(2) () have been reacted with AlMe(3) to give the five corresponding aminoalkoxides of the general formula RNH-X-AlMe(2)- (X = organic spacer between N and O). (t)BuNHCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)OH () reacts with AlMe(3) to give [(t)BuNHCH(2)CMe(2)CH(2)OAlMe(2)].AlMe(3) (.AlMe(3)). Analogous reactions of the aminoalcohols , , and with Al(t)Bu(3), GaMe(3) and Ga(t)Bu(3) afforded the corresponding aminoalkoxides of the general formula RNH-X-MR'(2)- (MR'(2) = Al(t)Bu(2)), - (MR'(2) = GaMe(2)) and - (MR'(2) = Ga(t)Bu(2)). The compounds were characterised by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses and mass spectrometry. Crystal structures were determined for , , .AlMe(3), , , and . Compounds and dimerise via Al(2)O(2) rings, while the amino-functions form intramolecular Al-N bonds. Compounds and form monomers with intramolecular Ga-N bonds. Compounds and are dimers via Ga(2)O(2) rings but in contrast to and without formation of intramolecular Ga-N bonds. .AlMe(3) also forms a monomeric compound with intramolecular AlN bond and a further AlMe(3) unit bonded to the O atom. The dynamic behaviour of and was investigated by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. Some compounds have different aggregation in solid and fluid phases.
