A neutral Ga(6) octahedron: synthesis, structure, and aromaticity.
Potassium graphite reduction of L:Ga(Mes)Cl(2) [L: = :C{(i-Pr)NC(Me)}(2), Mes = 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)] (1) in hexane yields the organogallium dimer L:(Mes)(Cl)Ga-Ga(Cl)(Mes):L (2), while potassium reduction of 1 in toluene affords the neutral aromatic Ga(6) octahedron L:Ga[Ga(4)Mes(4)]Ga:L (3).
