The synthesis and structural characterization of representative and novel pyrazagaboles, boron- and gallium-containing compounds with a central six-membered heterocyclic B—(N—N)2—Ga ring feature, are detailed. Crystals of dimethylgallium-bis(μ-pyrazolyl)dimethylboron are orthorhombic, a = 7.6135(5), b = 16.2917(5), c = 22.331(1) Å, Z = 8, space group Pbca, and those of hydroxy(methyl)galliumbis(μ-pyrazolyl)dimethylboron are orthorhombic, a = 7.6197(3), b = 16.2184(7), c = 22.190(1) Å, Z = 8, space group Pbca. Both structures were solved by conventional heavy atom methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.054 and 0.040 for 1243 and 1272 reflections with I ≥ 1.5 and 3σ(I), respectively. The crystal structures are isomorphous and both feature six-membered B—(N—N)2—Ga rings having highly asymmetric boat conformations, unlike those observed for the majority of the homobinuclear analogs previously reported. The mean Ga—N and B—N distances in the two compounds are 1.977 and 1.61 Å. Keywords: pyrazagaboles, pyrazolyl-bridged heterocycles, crystal structures, synthesis of pyrazagaboles.

The reactions of the LMo(CO)3− ions (L = MeGapz3, HBpz3, Me2Gapz(OCH2CH2NMe2)) with [Cu(PPh3)Cl]4 and Rh(PPh3)3Cl have yielded complexes with Mo—Cu and Mo—Rh bonds. The X-ray crystal structures of two such complexes have been determined. Crystals of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Cu(PPh3) are monoclinic, a = 17.071(2), b = 16.738(1), c = 23.641(3) Å, β = 104.899(6)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n, and those of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Rh(PPh3)2, are triclinic, a = 12.519(3), b = 17.182(4), c = 12.071(2) Å, α = 105.02(1), β = 109.87(1), γ = 97.10(2)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. Both structures were solved by conventional heavy atom methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.035 for 6296 reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I) and R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.037 for 5642 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. The former complex provides a rare example of a 3:3:1, or capped octahedral structure, with a short (mean) Mo—Cu distance of 2.513(9) Å. The latter compound displays one terminal and two bridging CO ligands and a Mo—Rh distance of 2.6066(5) Å.

Thermolysis of Os3(CO)11(PEt2Fc) (Fc = (η-C5H4)Fe(η-C5H5)) in octane for 8 h affords H2Os3(CO)9(EtFcPCMe), 10, and H2Os3(CO)8[(η-C5H3PEt2)Fe(η-C5H4)], 9e, in 15 and 65% yield, respectively. Heating Os3(CO)12 and PEt2Fc in 1:2 molar ratio in xylene for 10 h gives two isomers of H2Os3(CO)8(PEt2Fc)(EtFcPCMe), 11, in about 40% yield. Two crystalline modifications of the complex 9e have been obtained from the same solvent: 9eA, triclinic, a = 15.653(1), b = 15.799(1), c = 11.257(1) Å, α = 90.388(7)°, β = 109.740(6)°, γ = 82.445(6)°, Z = 4 (two molecules per asymmetric unit), space group [Formula: see text]; and 9eB, monoclinic, a = 9.889(2), b = 13.632(3), c = 18.927(4) Å, β = 97.36(2)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. The structures were solved by heavy atom methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.033 and 0.037 for 8131 and 5145 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively.

The crystal structure of 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN2S2)] is orthorhombic, space group Pna21, and consists of interleaved arrays of dimers, for which the mean interannular [Formula: see text] contact is 3.137 Å. The crystal structure of the monofunctional radical 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN)] is monoclinic, space group P21/n, and consists of a ribbon-like network of dimers (mean interannular [Formula: see text] interconnected by close head-to-tail [Formula: see text] contacts. The dimer units form stacks parallel to z, with a mean interdimer [Formula: see text] separation of 3.956 Å.

Crystals of the 3,5-dimethylpyrazolylgallium dimethyl dimer [Me2Ga·N2C5H7]2 (1a) are monoclinic, a = 8.660(3), b = 13.776(1), c = 8.443(2) Å, β = 112.45(2)°, Z = 2, space group P21/c, and crystals of the hydroxy-bridged species [Me2Ga(OH)(N2C5H7)GaMe2·2N2C5H8] (1b) are monoclinic, a = 28.778(3), b = 9.098(3), c = 20.222(2) Å, β = 100.72(1)°, Z = 8, space group C2/c. Both structures were solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to final R values of 0.071 and 0.045 for 1443 and 2746 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Molecules of 1a lie on crystallographic centers of symmetry, the central Ga—(N—N)2—Ga ring being almost planar as a result of steric interactions between gallium-methyl groups and those on the 'pyrazolyl' rings. The mean Ga—N and Ga—C distances are 1.993 Å and 1.962 Å respectively. Compound 1b was formed by the attack of moisture on the strained dimer 1a. The central feature is a five-membered Ga2N2O ring, with two 3,5-dimethylpyrazoie molecules hydrogen-bonded to it (N—H … O, O—H … N, 2.851 and 2.892 Å) and to each other (N—H … N, 2.907 Å). The five-membered ring adopts a slightly distorted envelope conformation, the angle between the Ga2N2 and N2O moieties being 13.9°. The mean Ga—N and Ga—O distances are 1.989 and 1.934 Å respectively.
