Synthesis and characterization of the monomer Ga{(NDippCMe)2CH} (Dipp = C6H3Pri2-2,6): a low valent gallium(i) carbene analogue

Abstract
The reaction between solvent free Li{(NDippCMe)2CH} (Dipp = C6H3Pri 2-2,6), ‘GaI’ and potassium in toluene afforded Ga{(NDippCMe)2CH} 1 which features a V-shaped, two-coordinate, six-electron gallium(I) center electronically analogous to a singlet carbene carbon.
