The hydropyrimidine salan (salan= N , N ′‐dimethyl‐ N , N ′‐bis[(2‐hydroxyphenyl)methylene]‐1,2‐diaminoethane) proteo‐ligands with a rigid backbone {ON^(CH 2 )^NO}H 2 react with M(CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 3 (M=Ga, In) to yield the zwitterions {ON^(CH + )^NO}M − (CH 2 SiMe 3 ) 2 (M=Ga, 2 ; In, 3 ) by abstraction of a hydride from the ligand backbone followed by elimination of dihydrogen. By contrast, with Al 2 Me 6 , the neutral‐at‐metal bimetallic complex [{ON^(CH 2 )^NO}AlMe] 2 ( [1] 2 ) is obtained quantitatively. The formation of indium zwitterions is also observed with sterically more encumbered ligands containing o ‐Me substituents on the phenolic rings, or an N (CHPh) N moiety in the heterocyclic core. Overall, the ease of C   sp   3H bond activation follows the order Al≪Ga
