Organic compounds of gallium. III. Reactions of gallium alkoxides with acetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate, methyl acetoacetate, and methyl salicylate

Abstract

Derivatives of gallium of the type: Ga(i-C₃H₇O)_3-xlig_x (x = 1, 2, or 3; and H lig = acetylacetone, methyl and ethyl acetoacetate, or methyl salicylate) have been synthesized by reacting gallium alkoxides with ligands in various molar ratios. The compounds are soluble in organic solvents and could be volatilized under reduced pressure. Their molecular weights have been determined ebullioscopically. The infrared spectra of some of the compounds have been studied.
