Amidinate compounds with stabilized aluminium(II) and gallium(II) elements of composition LMX (3 and 4) have been prepared from their LMX (1 and 2) precursor, where M = Al (1 and 4) and Ga (2 and 3); L = PhC(NPrCH) (1 and 4) and PhC(NBu) (2 and 3); and X is I (1 and 4) and Cl (2 and 3) and insights into their bonding are gained. The M-M bond lengths are reported along with the single-crystal X-ray structures of 1-4.
