Bidentate gallium Lewis acids were prepared by the reaction of diethynyldiphenylsilane with neat trimethyl‐ or triethylgallium. Bis[(dimethylgallyl)ethynyl]diphenylsilane ( 1 ) and diethylgallyl derivative 2 were characterized as Et 2 O or pyridine adducts by NMR spectroscopy; 2 ⋅2Py was isolated. Lewis acids 1 and 2 form host–guest adducts with bidentate nitrogen bases, but defined cyclic 1:1 adducts are only formed between 1 and bases with matching N⋅⋅⋅N distances: 4,4′‐dimethyl‐3,3′‐bipyridinylacetylene ( 3 ), bis[(pyridin‐3‐yl)ethynyl]diphenylsilane ( 4 ), and bis[(2‐methylpyridin‐5‐yl)ethynyl]diphenylsilane ( 5 ). The structures of adducts 1⋅3 , 1⋅4 , and 1⋅5 were established by X‐ray diffraction experiments. 2 ⋅2Py reacts with DABCO to afford polymeric (DABCO‐ 2 ‐) n .
