    Abstract:
    [(Me3SiCH2)2AsGaBr2]3, the first trimeric mono(arsino)gallane to be structurally characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis, has been shown to contain a (GaAs)3 ring in the twist-boat conformation. Crystals of the trimer are monoclinic, space group P2/c (C42h), with a 18.877(4), b 13.710(3), c 24.821(4) Å, β 122.24(2)°, U 5433.4 Å3, and Z = 4. The GaAs bond lengths (2.432(2)-2.464(1) Å) are all less than any of those found in the (GaAs)2 rings of dimeric arsinogallanes. © 1988.
