Reactivity of E₄ (E₄ =P₄ , As₄ , AsP₃ ) towards Low-Valent Al(I) and Ga(I) Compounds.

ABSTRACT: The reactivity of yellow arsenic and the interpnictogen compound AsP₃ towards low-valent group 13 compounds was investigated. The reactions of [LAl] (1, L=[{N(C₆ H₃ ⁱ Pr₂ -2,6)C(Me)}₂ CH]^- ) with As₄ and AsP₃ lead to [(LAl)₂ (μ,η^1:1:1:1 -E₄ )] (E₄ =As₄ (3 b), AsP₃ (3 c)) by insertion of two fragments [LAl] into two of the six E-E edges of the E₄ tetrahedra. Furthermore, the reaction of [LGa] (2) with E₄ afforded [LGa(η^1:1 -E₄ )] (E₄ =As₄ (4 b), AsP₃ (4 c)). In these compounds, only one E-E bond of the E₄ tetrahedra was cleaved. These compoun
