The synthesis and physical properties of N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)chlorogallium(III) and N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)methylgallium(III) are described. Crystals of N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)chlorogallium(III) dichloromethane are monoclinic, a = 13.049(1), b = 9.525(1), c = 15.459(2) Å, β = 92.452(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/a. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.042 and Rw = 0.051 for 1815 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The gallium atom is bonded to one chlorine atom and to the tetradentate N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato) ligand to give a coordination geometry which is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal. Important bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: Ga—Cl, 2.228(2), Ga—O, 1.868(4) and 1.883(4), Ga—N, 2.019(6) and 2.035(5) Å. The crystal structure consists of discrete (C16H14N2O2)GaCl and CH2Cl2 molecules linked by a[Formula: see text]hydrogen bond [Formula: see text]to form complex-solvate units.

The synthesis and physical properties of two dimethylgallium citrate triester complexes are reported. Crystals of bis-[(trimethylcitrato)dimethylgallium(III)] are monoclinic, a = 9.839(1), b = 14.496(1), c = 11.125(1) Å, β = 108.31(1)°, Z = 2, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by conventional heavy-atoms methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.037 for 1507 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of centrosymmetric dimers in which each citrate ligand is coordinated via the hydroxyl oxygen (bridging) and the C=O oxygen atom of the central ester group, forming five-membered chelate rings. Each Ga atom has irregular trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry with Ga—O(eq) = 1.950(3), Ga—O(ax) = 2.103(3) and 2.395(3), and Ga—C(eq) = 1.953(5) and 1.947(5) Å.

The synthesis of 4,7-dicyclohexyl-2,2,5,6-tetraphenyl-1,3-dioxa-4-aza-7-azonia-2-boratacycloheptane is reported. Crystals of the compound are orthorhombic, a = 10.893(1), b = 28.072(1), c = 10.596(1) Å, Z = 4, space group P212121. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.043 for 2480 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The molecule has a seven-membered chelate structure. The seven-membered ring, which has a twisted chair conformation, is stabilized by an intramolecular [Formula: see text] hydrogen bond. Bond lengths O—B = 1.468(4) and 1.554(4), C—B = 1.621(5) and 1.626(4) Å are consistent with moderately strong binding of the diphenylboron moiety by the O,O-chelating ligand.

Zinc metal reacts with excess 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Hdmpz) in the presence of O2 to produce materials of composition Zn(dmpz)2(Hdmpz)y. Thermolysis of these materials results in the loss of Hdmpz and the formation of the [Zn(dmpz)2]x polymer. Under appropriate conditions the pure dimer [Zn2(dmpz)4(Hdmpz)2] can be obtained in high yield. Crystals of bis[μ-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl-N1,N2)]bis[(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazole)zinc(II)] are orthorhombic, a = 17.009(2), b = 29.239(2), c = 13.590(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Fddd. The structure was solved by heavy atom methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.037 and Rw = 0.042 for 913 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure of [Zn2(dmpz)4(Hdmpz)2] contains nearly planar doubly dmpz bridged Zn2 units capped at each end by strongly hydrogen-bonded [Formula: see text] units. The zinc atoms display pseudotetrahedral coordination geometry with Zn—N = 1.991(3) (bridging) and 2.025(3) Å (terminal), and N—Zn—N = 99.6(2)–113.8(2)°. Keywords: zinc 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate complexes, crystal structure.

Novel neutral monomeric five-coordinate manganese and iron dinitrosyl compounds incorporating asymmetric tridentate anionic gallate ligands are described. The crystal structure of the formally "19-electron" iron complex [Me2Ga(N2C5H7)(OCH2CH 2NMe2)]Fe(NO)2 has been determined. Crystals of [dimethyl(N,N-dimethylethanolamino)(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)gallato (N(2),N(3),O)]dinitrosyliron(I) are monoclinic, a = 7.3079(6), b = 14.274(1), c = 17.076(1) Å, β = 91.709(4)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.034 and Rw = 0.046 for 2848 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The crystal structure consists of discrete monomeric units. The coordination geometry about the iron atom is distorted trigonal-bipyramidal with the tridentate gallate ligand acting in a meridional fashion, occupying one equatorial and both axial positions. The two nitrosyl groups occupy the other two equatorial sites and both Fe—N—O groupings are considerably bent toward one another in the equatorial plane. Important mean molecular dimensions (distances corrected for libration) are: Fe—O, 2.037(3), Fe—N(pyrazolyl), 2.112(3), Fe—N(amino), 2.279(3), Fe—NO, 1.710(3), N—O, 1.153(5), Ga—O, 1.916(3), Ga—N, 1.975(3), Ga—C, 1.972(6) Å, and Fe—N—O, 158.6(7)°.

The complex (5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphinato)bis(tri-n-butylphosphine)iron(II), 1, has been isolated in a triclinic crystal form, a = 12.499(3), b = 12.528(2), c = 12.039(2) Å, α = 116.39(1), β = 109.79(1), γ = 98.13(1)°, Z = 1, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by conventional heavy atom methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.060 and Rw = 0.070 for 3551 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The molecule, which has crystallographic [Formula: see text], symmetry, displays a relatively undistorted pseudo-octahedral coordination geometry with Fe—P = 2.346(1) and Fe—N = 1.998(3) and 1.993(3) Å. In CH2Cl2 solution, 1 reacts with CO and aldehydes to generate the carbonyl(phosphine) derivative, and decarbonylation of phenylacetaldehyde to toluene becomes catalytic under an Ar stream. The aldehyde decarbonylations involve radical pathways via carbonyl loss from [Formula: see text]. The hydrogen abstraction/initiation reaction probably utilizes trace O2 (and possibly trace (water); speculative mechanisms are discussed.

The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.038 for 3393 reflections with I ≥ 4σ(I). The bond lengths involving nonhydrogen atoms have been corrected for thermal motion. The molecular structure features a novel Ga, O, N cage structure which includes the first crystallographic examples of four-membered Ga2NO and six-membered Ga3N2O rings. Three of the four crystallographically independent gallium atoms are tetrahedrally four-coordinate with bond lengths: Ga—O, 1.869 and 1.879(2), Ga—N, 1.945–2.001 (3), and Ga—H, 1.40–1.52(4–5) Å. The remaining gallium atom is five-coordinate with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry (Ga—O(ax), 1.960(3), Ga—N(ax), 2.779(3), Ga—N(eq), 1.949 and 1.999(3), and Ga—H(eq), 1.49(5)Å). Other bond lengths in the molecule are: N—C, 1.449–1.493(4–10), C—C, 1.486–1.528(6–7), N—H, 0.85(5), and mean C—H, 1.03 Å. The errors quoted above are those arising from the least-squares analysis and do not reflect uncertainties introduced by the thermal analysis.

The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.037 (Rw = 0.033) for 1616 reflections with I > 3sigma(I). The structure consists of two independent molecules each displaying a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry; the distortion follows closely the Berry pseudorotation coordinate.Key words: crystal structure, phosphorane, Berry pseudorotation, trigonal bipyramid.

Reaction of the [Me2Ga(pz)(OC6H4NH2)]− ligand, L−, with [Re(CO)4Cl]2 results in the formation of LRe(CO)3 whose physical properties indicate a fac arrangement of the organogallate ligand.
