The synthesis and X-ray structure of five co-ordinate imidodiphosphinate complexes of indium(III)
We report the synthesis and structural characterisation of three five co-ordinate indium(III) bis-chelate complexes of imidodiphosphinates with general formula InCl{N(PR 2X) 2} 2, (R=Ph or Pr i, X=S or Se), formed from the 1:2 reaction of indium(III) trichloride and the potassium or sodium salt of t...

Summary: | We report the synthesis and structural characterisation of three five co-ordinate indium(III) bis-chelate complexes of imidodiphosphinates with general formula InCl{N(PR
2X)
2}
2, (R=Ph or Pr
i, X=S or Se), formed from the 1:2 reaction of indium(III) trichloride and the potassium or sodium salt of the ligand in methanol/THF. The complexes consist of discrete monomeric, molecules and show a trigonal–bipyramidal co-ordination pattern. These are the first examples of five co-ordinate complexes containing this type of ligand, in contrast to other indium(III) and main group element complexes of similar ligands in which only the six co-ordinate tris-chelates are known. |
