How Do Clusters Grow? The Synthesis and Structure of Polynuclear Hydroxide Gallium(III) Clusters

Three complexes from one reaction: The reaction of N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetic acid with Ga(NO3)3 yields an alkoxo‐bridged dimer, a Ga8 cluster (see picture), and a Ga13 cluster. The structures of these complexes and the structural relationships between them are reported, and the insight they ma...

Description
Summary:Three complexes from one reaction: The reaction of N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetic acid with Ga(NO3)3 yields an alkoxo‐bridged dimer, a Ga8 cluster (see picture), and a Ga13 cluster. The structures of these complexes and the structural relationships between them are reported, and the insight they may shed on the general mechanism of cluster formation is discussed.
