Synthesis and structure of a five-co-ordinate gallium complex: chlorobis-(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinolinato)gallium(III)
Abstract
Synthesis of trigonal bipyramidal chlorobis-(8-hydroxy-2-methylquinolinato)gallium(III) and characterization by i.r., m.s., and X-ray diffraction techniques reveals a rare example of five-co-ordination resulting from a combination of steric and solvation effecs.
