Crystals of the N-methyldiethanolaminogallane dimer are orthorhombic, a = 19.112(4), b = 9.947(2), c = 7.709(2) Å, Z = 4, space group P212121. The structure was determined by Patterson and Fourier synthesis and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.056 for 1477 observed reflections. The structure provides the first1 known crystallographic example of pentacoordinate gallium, the dimerization of MeN(CH2CH2O)2GaH occurring via the formation of a four-membered Ga2O2 ring. The coordination about the gallium is distorted trigonal bipyramidal with an angle of 151.2(4)° between the axial substituents. The mean bond distances are: Ga—N, 2.192(5), and Ga—O, 2.018(2) for axial ligands; Ga—O, 1.847(2), 1.960(8), and Ga—H, 1.41(4) for equatorial ligands; O—C, 1.419(14), C—N, 1.470(7), C—C, 1.520(12), and C—H, 1.00(13) Å. The molecule has C2 symmetry to within experimental error. There are possible [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds ([Formula: see text] 3.13(1)–3.44(1) Å) in the structure.

Abstract The title compounds [R2NH2][C2O4SnMe3](R=i-Bu, Cy), in which tin atoms adopt a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration, have been prepared and submitted to an X-ray diffraction study. These compounds have been obtained from the reaction of (Cy2NH2)2C2O4·H2O or (i-Bu2NH2)2C2O4 with SnMe3Cl. In both [R2NH2][C2O4SnMe3] compounds, the trans complex has an almost regular trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. The SnMe3 residues are connected as a chain with bridging oxalate anions in a trans-SnC3O2 framework, the oxygen atoms being in axial positions. The cations connect linear adjacent chains through NH…O hydrogen bonds giving layered structures.

Crystals of [dimethylbis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)gallato (N(2),N′(2))][dimethyl (3,5 - dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl) (N,N-dimethylethanolamino(gallato (N(2), O, N(3))]nickel(II) are triclinic, a = 20.8562(11), b = 9.1536(4), c = 8.2798(4) Å, α = 100.204(3), β = 85.513(4), γ = 101.989(3)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.048 and Rw = 0.078 for 5508 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The coordination about the Ni atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal with the two nitrogen atoms from the Me2Ga(N2C5H7)2 ligand occupying equatorial positions. The tridentate Me2Ga(N2C5H7)(OCH2CH2NMe2) ligand is meridionally coordinated with the oxygen in the equatorial and the two nitrogens in the axial positions. Important bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: Ni—N(eq), 2.005(3) and 2.006(3), Ni—O, 1.993(3), Ni—N(pz—ax), 2.072(3), Ni—N(amino), 2.229(3), Ga—O, 1.913(3), Ga—N, 1.971(3)–1.989(3), and Ga—C, 1.961(10)–1.986(6) Å.

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.

Both structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.057 and 0.040 for 2230 and 1828 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Both molecules have structures similar to related compounds and feature intermolecular N—H … O hydrogen bonds (N … O = 2.982(2) for 1c and 2.896(2) Å for 1a). Bond lengths are: for 1c; O—C, 1.413(3), O—B, 1.478(3), N—C, 1.488(3), N—B, 1.657(3), C(sp3)—C(sp3), 1.501(4), B—C, 1.616(3) and 1.623(3), mean C—C(ar), 1.395, N—H, 0.93(2) and 0.94(2), mean C(sp3)—H, 1.00, and mean C(ar)—H, 1.00 Å; for 1a; O—C, 1.409(2), O—B, 1.476(2), N—C, 1.489(2), N—B, 1.655(2), C(sp3)—C(sp3), 1.507(3), B—C, 1.613(2) and 1.620(2), mean C—C(ar), 1.391, N—H, 0.93(2) and 0.92(2), mean C(sp3)—H, 1.00, and mean C(ar)—H, 0.98 Å.

Crystals of the title compound are triclinic, a = 15.60(3), b = 8.66(2), c = 7.36(1) Å, α = 103.8(1), β = 95.7(1), γ = 70.7(3)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The measured and calculated densities are 1.69(2) and 1.656(6) g cm−3, respectively. The structure was determined by Patterson and Fourier synthesis and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.067 for 2333 observed reflections. The structure is composed of layers of oxygen bridged potassium ions situated between two layers of [Mn(DCTA)]− anions, thus forming the basic structural unit which repeats along a. The manganese(III) is six-coordinated to the two nitrogen and four oxygen atoms of the hexadentate ligand, the coordination polyhedron being a very distorted octahedron with N—Mn—O and O—Mn—O angles of 77.1(2) and 128.5(2)°, respectively. The anion has approximate C2 symmetry with two classes of Mn—O bonds, mean bond lengths 1.887(7) and 2.015(22) Å; the mean Mn—N distance is 2.263(5) Å. The water molecule is twofold disordered and is coordinated to the potassium ion in both positions. The potassium ion is eight or nine coordinated to oxygen atoms depending on the position taken by the water molecule. Weak hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule are probably present, O…O distances range from 2.71(3) to 3.18(3) Å, as well as possible C—H…O hydrogen bonds with C…O distances ranging from 3.300(9) to 3.388(8) Å.

The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was reflned by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.028 and Rw = 0.046 for 3708 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The crystal structure consists of discrete molecules linked by N—H … O hydrogen bonds (N … O = 2.929(5) Å). The Mo atom is in a distorted octahedral environment with the η3-C7H7 ligand occupying one coordination site, trans to the amino nitrogen, as a π-donating ligand. Important bond distances (corrected for libration) are: Mo—O, 2.245(2), Mo—N(amino), 2.249(3), Mo—N(pyrazolyl), 2.270(3), Mo—C(O), 1.950(4) and 1.947(4), Mo—C(C7H7), 2.176(4), 2.364(4), and 2.380(4), Ga—O, 1.919(3), Ga—N, 1.984(3), and Ga—C, 1.982(5) and 1.983(5) Å. An unusual type of disorder is present in which a second image of the molecule, approximately mirrored by the plane y = 1/4, is in evidence at low occupancy.
