The reactions of LGaCl₂ (L = HC[C(Me)N(Ar)]₂, Ar = 2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃) with NH₃ and H₂O, respectively, in the presence of a 1,3-bis-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene (N-heterocyclic carbene) as acceptor for the HCl lead to unique species of composition LGa(NH₂)₂ and LGa(OH)₂ in high yields under mild conditions. LGa(NH₂)₂ is the first known monomeric diamide of gallium.
