Abstract
Gallium(III) catecholates with bipyridine ligand [(3,5-Cat)Ga(bipy)2]I and (3,6-Cat)GaI(bipy) (Cat is di-tert-butylcatecholate) were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The appearance of near-infrared ligand-to-ligand charge transfer for pentacoordinate complex was observed.
