Details of the synthesis, physical properties, and solid-state structure of [(C7H5O2)Ga(CH3)2]2 are reported. Crystals of bis(tropolonatodimethylgallium) are monoclinic, a = 10.2669(9), b = 9.3237(3), c = 10.8671(10) Å, β = 112.896(4)°, Z = 2, space group P21/n (22°C, λ = 0.70930 Å). The structure was solved by conventional heavy-atom techniques and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.034 and Rw = 0.037 for 1746 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The centrosymmetric binuclear dimer features five-coordinate gallium atoms having irregular trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry and a planar four-membered Ga2O2 ring. Important bond lengths (corrected for libration) are Ga—O(equatorial) = 1.972(2), Ga—O(axial) = 2.025(2) and 2.551(2) Å, and Ga—C = 1.951(4) and 1.954(4) Å.

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 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 synthesis and physical properties of N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)chlorogallium(III) and N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)methylgallium(III) are described.

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 reduction of magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPc) with 2.2 equivalents of potassium graphite in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) gives [K2(DME)4]PcMg(OH)(1) in 67% yield. Compound 1 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography and was found to be a monomeric, heterometallic complex consisting of a μ3-OH ligand that bridges a [MgIIPc3-]- anion to two potassium cations solvated by four DME molecules. An absorption spectrum of 1 confirms the Pc ligand is singly reduced and has a 3–charge. The solid-state structure of 1 does not indicate breaking of the aromaticity of the Pc ligand. Compound 1 is only the second Pc3- complex and the first reduced MgPc to be isolated and structurally characterized.

Crystals of 5,5-difluoro-2,2-pentamethylene-1,4,6-trioxa-3a-azonia-5-borata-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydrobenzo[h]azulene are triclinic, a = 6.1576(3), b = 11.2651(3), c = 10.8118(3) Å, α = 109.747(3), β = 105.807(4), γ = 92.976(4)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text], and those of 2,2-pentamethylene-5,5-diphenyl-1,4,6-trioxa-3a-azonia-5-borata-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydrobenzo[h]azulene are monoclinic, a = 9.8549(6), b = 10.9242(6), c = 41.263(2) Å, β = 92.717(6)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n. Both structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.045 and 0.042 for 2344 and 4248 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. The molecules were both found to possess a seven-membered chelate structure, the O,O-chelatїng ligand being strongly bound to the X2B moiety. Two conformational isomers of the X = Ph compound were found in the solid state. The 2-oxazoline N-oxide moieties present in both compounds are the first to be structurally characterized. Important mean libration-corrected bond lengths are: O—B = 1.491 and F—B = 1.387 Å for X = F; O—B = 1.511 and C—B = 1.620 Å for X = Ph.

We report here the synthesis and structural characterization of a novel expanded Schiff base oligopyrrolic macrocycle TxLH (i.e. compound 2) along with its smaller congener hemi-TxLH (i.e. compound 1). The solid-state structure of TxLH is reminiscent of the shape of a Texas Longhorn[Formula: see text]. It thus defines a new architectural form for porphyrin analogues. The present study thus underscores the potential of using functionalized oligopyrroles as readily accessible molecular building blocks for the construction of structurally non-trivial molecules.
