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 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.

Details of the syntheses, physical properties, and crystal structures of the title compounds are reported. 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.

Molecules of 4 contain non-planar BOBON rings with an unusually long N(sp3)—B(sp3) distance of 1.728(3) Å and in 5 there is a long N(sp3)—C(sp3) bond of 1.591(3) Å.

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.

Crystals of 1,9-dimethyl-3,5,7- triphenyl-2,4,6,8-tetraoxa-1,9-diazonia-5-bora-3,7-diboratatricyclo[5.4.0.03,9]undecane are orthorhombic, a = 9.4026(3), b = 9.4663(2), c = 24.7462(9) 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 = 0.038 for 1536 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The three six-membered and two seven-membered rings comprising the tricyclo[5.4.0.03,9]undecane ring system all have boat or boat-like conformations. Important bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: B(sp3)—N = 1.649(6) and 1.668(6), B(sp3)—O(N) = 1.492(5) and 1.497(6), B(sp3)—O[B(sp2)] = 1.444(6) and 1.438(5), B(sp3)—C = 1.600(6) and 1.594(7), B(sp2)—O = 1.357(6) and 1.370(6), B(sp2)—C = 1.574(6) Å.

The compound previously reported as β-ReOCl3 has been shown by analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction to be μ-oxo-bis{oxotrichloro(O-perrhenyl chloride)rhenium(VI)}, (Re2O3Cl6)(ReO3Cl)2. The crystals were triclinic, a = 6.112(5), b = 12.876(9), c = 6.020(5) Å, α = 88.30(5), β = 95.88(5), γ = 105.36(5)°, [Formula: see text]. Intensities were measured by a densitometer from photographs recorded on an integrating precession camera. The structure was refined by full matrix least squares to give a final R2 of 0.072. The molecule is composed of a dimeric Re2O3Cl6 unit with a bridging oxygen atom on the center of symmetry and an Re—O (bridge) distance of 1.847(1) Å. The remaining oxo-group on each rhenium is cis to the bridge and is strongly bonded (1.69(2) Å), and the position trans to the terminal oxo-group is filled by a weak bond to an oxygen atom of a perrhenyl chloride molecule. The infrared spectrum of the compound has been explained in terms of the structure.

Both structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.046 and 0.038 for 2198 and 2969 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. In both structures the N,N-dialkylsalicylamidate ligands coordinate the diphenylboron moieties via the phenolate oxygen and amide oxygen atoms, forming six-membered O—B—O chelate rings. The O(ar)—B, O(amide)—B, and mean C—B bond lengths (corrected for libration) are as follows: 1.490(3), 1.549(4), and 1.612 Å for 4 and 1.494(2), 1.550(2), and 1.612 Å for 9. Keywords: crystal structures, boron compounds, organoboron compounds.

Details of the synthesis and physical properties of the title compound are reported along with a new preparation of 3-benzoyl-(+)-camphor. Crystals of (3-benzoyl-(+)-camphorato)diphenylboron are triclinic, a = 9.0362(3), b = 9.4679(3), c = 14.2731(7) Å, α = 101.920(3), β = 100.086(3), γ = 93.251(3)°, Z = 2, space group P1. The structure was solved by non-routine application of direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.039 for 4094 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The unit-cell contains two crystallographically independent molecules, related to one another in the crystal lattice by a pseudo-inversion centre, and having the same configuration but different conformations. The structure analysis shows that the chiral, anionic, 1,3-diketonate ligand derived from 3-benzoyl-(+)-camphor is not symmetrically delocalized like most related ligands, resulting in significantly different O—B bond lengths. Bond lengths (corrected for libration) include: O—B = 1.514(4), 1.522(4); 1.568(4) and 1.567(4) Å; C—B = 1.594(5)−1.616(5) Å.

The structure features a five-coordinate gallium atom having distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Monomer units link via the formation of a four-membered Ga2O2 ring to form the centrosymmetric dimers. Bond lengths in the molecule are: Ga—O(eq), 1.933(3), Ga—O(ax), 2.127(3) and 2.469(3), Ga—C, 1.944(6) and 1.946(5), C—O, 1.333(4) and 1.231(6), C(ar)—C(sp2), 1.432(7), mean C—C(ar), 1.395(8), mean C(sp3)—H, 0.92(4), and mean C(sp2)—H, 0.93(2) Å. Bonds not involving hydrogen have been corrected for thermal motion.
