Neutral five-co-ordinate gallium(III) and indium(III) complexes derived from sulfur ligands
Abstract
Five-co-ordinated gallium(III) and indium(III) complexes, GaCl[PhC(S)CHC(O)Ph]2, GaCl(S2CNR2)2(R = Me, Pri or NR2= pyrrolyl) and InCl(S2CNPri2)2, have been synthesized and characterized. X-Ray crystallographic studies revealed a trigonal-bipyramidal structure for GaCl[PhC(S)CHC(O)Ph]2 and square-pyramidal structures for GaCl(S2CNMe2)2 and InCl(S2CNPri2)2. Also, Ga(S2CNC4H4)3 has been synthesized. Its molecular structure shows a GaS6 core approaching a trigonal-prismatic geometry.
