Abstract
Treatment of ‘GaI’ with a 1,3-diyne, Me3SiC≡CC≡CSiMe3, leads to C-C coupling reactions and the isolation of the novel organogallium species, [Ga4I8(C8(SiMe3)4)], as two isomeric forms; their X-ray crystal structures show them to contain the first structurally authenticated gem-organodigallium fragments and to exhibit rare examples of Ga-alkyne π-interactions.
