Synthesis and characterization of HC{C(Me)N(C (sub)6 H (sub)3 -2,6-i-Pr (sub)2)} (sub)2 MX (sub)2 ( M=Alp, X=Cl, I; M=Ga, In, X=Me, Cl, I): sterically encumbered beta-diketiminate group 13 metal derivatives

Research has been conducted on the Dipp (sub)2 nacnacMX (sub)2 (M=Al, Ga, In, X=methyl or halogen). The preparation of these species and comparison of their spectroscopic and structural properties with the monovalent derivatives have been carried out.
