title: A synthetic route to a molecular galloxane dihydroxide and its group 4 heterobimetallic compounds.
abstract: Controlled hydrolysis of (Me)LGaCl2 ((Me)L = HC[(CMe)N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)]2(-)) (1) in the presence of a N-heterocyclic carbene, as a HCl acceptor, led to the unprecedented molecular galloxane dihydroxide [{(Me)LGa(OH)}2(μ-O)] (2) in high yield. Compound 2 was used in the assembly of the heterobimetallic galloxanes with group 4 metals [{((Me)LGa)2(μ-O)}(μ-O)2{M(NR2)2}] (M = Ti, R = Me (6); M = Zr (7), Hf (8), R = Et).
