title: A heterobimetallic gallyl complex containing an unsupported Ga-Y bond.
abstract: The synthesis and characterization of the first unsupported Ga-Y bond in [Y{Ga(NArCH)(2)}{C(PPh(2)NSiMe(3))(2)}(THF)(2)] (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) is described; structural and computational analyses are consistent with a highly polarized covalent Ga-Y bond.
