Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Anhydrous Gallium(III) Ionic Complexes with Polyether Ligands
摘要
The ionic coordination complexes [(GaCl2(18-crown-6))+(GaCl4)–] (I) and [(GaCl2(diglyme))+(GaCl4)–] (II) were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. Compounds I and II were obtained via the reaction of GaCl3 with 18-crown-6 ether or diglyme, respectively, in diethyl ether. According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, the reaction of GaCl3 with macrocyclic ethers leads to the formation of ionic coordination compounds, in which the anionic component is a tetrahedral [GaCl4]– fragment, while the cationic part is a [GaCl2(L)]+ complex (L is 18-crown-6 or diglyme). In both structures, the polyether ligands act as polydentate donors, coordinating by the gallium center via five oxygen atoms of 18-crown-6 in I and three oxygen atoms of diglyme in II. The phase purity of both compounds was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction.
