Abstract
The N-methyl-2-(methylamino)troponimine [(Me)(2)ATI]H reacts with bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]tin(II) to yield [(Me)(2)ATI](2)Sn in excellent yield. The treatment of [(Me)(2)ATI](2)Sn with GaI and InCl led to the bis(ligand)gallium(III) and -indium(III) compounds [(Me)(2)ATI](2)GaI and [(Me)(2)ATI](2)InCl. These metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. All three metal adducts show fluxional behavior in solution at room temperature. [(Me)(2)ATI](2)Sn exhibits a pseudo trigonal bipyramidal structure in the solid state. The gallium and indium atoms in [(Me)(2)ATI](2)GaI and [(Me)(2)ATI](2)InCl adopt trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the metal center with the halide occupying an equatorial site. A convenient, high-yield route to [(Me)(2)ATI]H is also reported.
