General description

Gallium(III) chloride is prepared by reacting Ga metal with Cl2 or HCl in N2 at 200oC.1

Application

Catalyst for a number of transformations such as the ring opening and recyclization of epoxides or the trimerization of alkynes.[1][2]

Features and Benefits

Lower-temperature solvothermal techniques using GaCl3 and NaN3 or Li3N result in nanocrystalline GaN.
Radical mediator and catalyst in a number of organic bond formation reactions.

We have previously proposed that the Hg(arene)(2)(GaCl(4))(2) catalyzed H/D exchange reaction of C(6)D(6) with arenes occurs via an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction in which the coordinated arene protonates the C(6)D(6). To investigate this mechanism, the kinetics of the Hg(C(6)H(5)Me)(2)(GaCl(4))(2) catalyzed
