Synthesis and reactivity of acyclic heterotrinuclear metal complexes
Heterobimetallic complexes [L<sup>1</sup>(Et)MZn(Et)] (M = Al 1a, Ga 1b; L<sup>1</sup> = {HC(C(CH<sub>3</sub>)N(Dipp))<sub>2</sub>}, Dipp = 2,6-iPr<sub>2</sub>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>) and heterotrinuclear complexes [L<sup>1</sup>(Et)GaZnM(Et)L<sup>1</sup>] (M = Al 2a, Ga 2b) and [L<sup>1</sup>(Et)GaZnSi(Et)L<sup>2</sup>] (2c; L<sup>2</sup> = {N(Dipp))C(CH<sub>3</sub>)CHC(CH<sub>2</sub>)(N(Dipp)}) were synthesized by stepwise oxidative addition reactions of ZnEt<sub>2</sub> with heavy carbene analogues and fully characterized including single crystal X-ray diffraction (sc-XRD). Reactions of 2c with B(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>, NH<sub>3</sub> and PhCH<sub>2</sub>OH are also reported.
