The reduction of digallane [(dpp-bian)Ga-Ga(dpp-bian)] (1) (dpp-bian=1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) with lithium and sodium in diethyl ether, or with potassium in THF affords compounds featuring the direct alkali metal-gallium bonds, [(dpp-bian)Ga-Li(Et(2)O)(3)] (2), [(dpp-bian)Ga-Na(Et(2)O)(3)] (3), and [(dpp-bian)Ga-K(thf)(5)] (7), respectively. Crystallization of 3 from DME produces compound [(dpp-bian)Ga-Na(dme)(2)] (4). Dissolution of 3 in THF and subsequent crystallization from diethyl ether gives [(dpp-bian)Ga-Na(thf)(3)(Et(2)O)] (5). Ionic [(dpp-bian)Ga](-)[Na([18]crown-6)(thf)(2)](+) (6a) and [(dpp-bian)Ga](-)[Na(Ph(3)PO)(3)(thf)](+) (6b) were obtained from THF after treatment of 3 with [18]crown-6 and Ph(3)PO, respectively. The reduction of 1 with Group 2 metals in THF affords [(dpp-bian)Ga](2)M(thf)(n) (M=Mg (8), n=3; M=Ca (9), Sr (10), n=4; M=Ba (11), n=5). The molecular structures of 4-7 and 11 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The Ga-Na bond lengths in 3-5 vary notably depending on the coordination environment of the sodium atom.

The reaction of digallane (dpp-bian)Ga-Ga(dpp-bian) (2) (dpp-bian=1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) with allyl chloride (AllCl) proceeded by a two-electron oxidative addition to afford paramagnetic complexes (dpp-bian)Ga(η -All)Cl (3) and (dpp-bian)(Cl)Ga-Ga(Cl)(dpp-bian) (4). Treatment of complex 4 with pyridine induced an intramolecular redox process, which resulted in the diamagnetic complex (dpp-bian)Ga(Py)Cl (5). In reaction with allyl bromide, complex 2 gave metal- and ligand-centered addition products (dpp-bian)Ga(η -All)Br (6) and (dpp-bian-All)(Br)Ga-Ga(Br)(dpp-bian-All) (7).

The reactivity of digallane (dpp-Bian)Ga-Ga(dpp-Bian) (1) (dpp-Bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) toward acenaphthenequinone (AcQ), sulfur dioxide, and azobenzene was investigated. The reaction of 1 with AcQ in 1:1 molar ratio proceeds via two-electron reduction of AcQ to give (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-AcQ)Ga(dpp-Bian) (2), in which diolate [AcQ](2-) acts as "bracket" for the Ga-Ga bond. The interaction of 1 with AcQ in 1:2 molar ratio proceeds with an oxidation of the both dpp-Bian ligands as well as of the Ga-Ga bond to give (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-AcQ)2Ga(dpp-Bian) (3).

The reactivity of digallane (dpp-Bian)Ga-Ga(dpp-Bian) (1), which consists of redox-active ligand 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene (dpp-Bian), has been studied. The reaction of 1 with I2 proceeds via one-electron oxidation of each of two dpp-Bian ligands to a radical-anionic state and affords complex (dpp-Bian)IGa-GaI(dpp-Bian) (2). Dissolution of complex 2 in pyridine (Py) gives monomeric compound (dpp-Bian)GaI(Py) (3) as a result of a solvent-induced intramolecular electron transfer from the metal-metal bond to the dpp-Bian ligands.

The reactivity of a series of Ga(I), Ga(II) and Ga(III) heterocyclic compounds towards a number of Group 15 substrates has been investigated with a view to prepare examples of gallium-terminal pnictinidene complexes. Although no examples of such complexes were isolated, a number of novel complexes have been prepared. The reactions of the gallium(I) N-heterocyclic carbene analogue, [K(tmeda)][:Ga{[N(Ar)C(H)](2)}] (Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with cyclo-(PPh)(5) and PhN[double bond, length as m-dash]NPh led to the unusual anionic spirocyclic complexes, [{kappa(2)P,P'-(PhP)(4)}Ga{[N(Ar)C(H)](2)}](-) and [{kappa(2)N,C-PhNN(H)(C(6)H(4))}Ga{[N(Ar)C(H)](2)}](-), via formal reductions of the Group 15 substrate.
