Three group 13 complexes of the ortho-chelating 2,4,6-tris((dimethylamino)methyl)phenoxy ((ArO-)-O-n) ligand have been prepared. Reaction of the lithio derivative, (ArOLi)-O-n, with gallium trichloride in 1:1 stoichiometry afforded [(ArOGaCl2)-O-n](2) (1). Treatment of gallium or indium trichloride with 2 equiv of (ArOLi)-O-n resulted in the gallate and indate complexes [((ArO)-O-n)(2)GaCl2]Li (2) and [((ArO)-O-n)(2)InCl2]Li (3), respectively. Compound 2 was also prepared by addition of 1 equiv of (ArOLi)-O-n to 1. The structure of the indate complex, 3, has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 14.903(3) Angstrom, b = 14.936(3) Angstrom, c = 22.076(4) Angstrom, beta = 101.78(3)degrees, V = 4810(2) Angstrom(3), and Z = 4. All three compounds were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, NMR, and mass spectral data.
