Crystals of L-prolinatodimethylgallium are orthorhombic, a = 10.624(2), b = 10.567(4), c = 8.2268(6) Å, Z = 4, space group P212121. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least squares procedures to a final R of 0.029 and Rw of 0.035 for 1109 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). Details of the preparation and physical properties of L-prolinatodimethylgallium and L-prolinatodiethylgallium are given. The crystal structure of L-prolinatodimethylgallium consists of molecules each linked to two others by weak Ga—O bonds (2.695(3) Å) and N—H … O hydrogen bonds (N … O = 2.901(4) Å) to form a chain-like polymeric structure extending along the b axis. The gallium atom is five-coordinate and has distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Important bond lengths are: Ga—O (axial), 2.044(3) and 2.695(3); Ga—N, 2.035(3); and Ga—C, 1.942(5) and 1.958(5) 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.

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.

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.

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.
