Abstract

The synthesis of [(CH₃)ClGaN₃]₄ (1) with a heterocyclic cyclooctane-like structure and [(CH₃)BrGaN₃]₃ (2) with a trimeric structure has been demonstrated. X-ray structural determinations reveal that 1 and 2 consist of Ga₄N₄ eight-membered rings and Ga₃N₃ six-membered rings, respectively, in which the Ga atoms are bridged by the α nitrogens of the azide groups. [(CH₃)ClGaN₃]₄ crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4̄2₁c with a = 11.017(4) Å, c = 8.699(7) Å, and Z = 8. [(CH₃)BrGaN₃]₃ crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a = 8.1080(10) Å, b = 9.9390(13) Å, c = 10.4439(13) Å, α = 86.069(3)°, β = 86.771(3)°, γ = 80.829(2)°, and Z = 6. The reaction of 1 and 2 with LiGaH₄ yields [(CH₃)HGaN₃](x), which is a new low-temperature source of GaN.
