Benzylgallium Compounds. Coordination of Benzyl Ligands in Cs[(PhCH2)2GaF2]Dissolving (PhCH2)3Ga (1) in THF yields the complex [(PhCH2)3Ga · THF] (2). Reaction of 1 with dry oxygen in toluene at -78°C leads to [(PhCH2)2GaOCH2Ph]2 (3), which is also formed from 1 and PhCH2OH. The salts K[(PhCH2)2GaF2] (5) and Cs[(PhCH2)2GaF2] (6) were obtained from (PhCH2)2GaCl (4) and KF or CsF, respectively, in acetonitrile. Crystal structures were determined for 2, 3, 6 and {[(PhCH2)2GaCl]2 · toluene} (7). Gallane 2 is a chiral monomeric complex in the solid state. The benzyl substituents create a propeller-shaped molecule with a counterclock-wise orientation of the ligands. 3 and 7 are crystallizing as centrosymmetrical dimers with Ga2X2 rings (X=O, Cl). 6 consists in infinite chains of {Cs[(PhCH2)2GaF2]}2 units with Cs-F contacts. In addition to the Cs-F interaction, the coordination of each Cs+ ion by two phenyl rings in a η6- fashion is observed.
