Case Study

Synthesis of Stable Gallium Hydride Compound [Ga(TPP)H] from Ga(TPP)Cl

Feng Y, et al. Inorganic Chemistry Communications, 2003, 6(5): 466-468.

The macrocyclic ligand tetraphenylporphyrin is used as the coordinating reagent to stabilize the gallium hydride compound, which is widely used in the fields of organic synthesis (as a precursor and reducing agent for solid materials such as gallium nitride) and chemical vapor deposition.
Synthesis procedure of Ga(TPP)H
· To a solution of gallium(III) 5,10,15,20-(tetraphenyl)porphyrin chloride (Ga(TPP)Cl, 200 mg, 0.28 mmol) in N;N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (100 ml), sodium borohydride (30 mg, 0.79 mmol) was added. With the addition of sodium borohydride, the color of the solution changed from red to green gradually and green precipitate was formed in the reaction mixture.
· The reaction system was vigorously stirred at room temperature for 1 h, then the resulting reaction mixture was filtered and the green crystalline 1 was obtained (160 mg, yield: 85%) after thoroughly washed with distilled water and methanol.
