“…The following compounds were synthesized according to literature procedures: NaR*, [33] NaR*·2THF, [33] NaRЈ, [3] R* 2 AlHal, [2] C 5 H 5 In, [34] C 5 Me 5 In, [35] TlN(SiMe 3 ) 2 , [36] C 5 H 5 Tl, [37] R* 4 Al 4 , [24] and R* 4 Ga 4 . The products R* 2 , [33] R*H, [33] R*Hal, [33] R*OH, [38] R*C 6 H 5 , [33] NaRЈ, [3] RЈ 2 , [39] RЈH, [39] RЈOH [39] were identified by comparison with authentic samples [tBu 3 29 Si NMR spectra were recorded with the INEPT or DEPT pulse sequence using empirically optimized parameters for the mentioned groups. After warming to 25°C, the light-yellow solution contained InN(SiMe 3 ) 2 exclusively according to the NMR spectra.…”
