Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]gallium Bromide and Monomeric {Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl]methyl]gallium} [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]telluride [(Me3Si)2CH]2Ga-TeSi(SiMe3)3Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]gallium bromide GaBr[CH(SiMe3)2]2 (4), prepared from Ga2Br4 · 2 dioxane and bis(trimethylsilyl)-methyllithium in the molar ratio of 1:3, reacts with the sterically high-shielded lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silyltelluride · DME to yield [(Me3Si)2CH]2Ga-TeSi(SiMe3)3 (5). 5 can also be synthesized by a metathetic reaction between tetrakis-[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]digallium(4) and bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellane in toluene at 100°C. A crystal structure determination shows the compound to be monomeric in the solid state and the atoms of the central C2Ga-TeSi moiety to lie in the mirror plane of the molecule. The short Ga-Te distance of 253.5(1) pm as well as a hindered rotation (ΔErot ≍ 50 kJ · mol-1) as detected by NMR measurements might be interpreted in terms of a π interaction between gallium and tellurium.
