Abstract: | The Crystal Structure of Tris(N,N-Diethyl-N′-benzoylselenoureato)indium(III) In(C12H15N2OSe)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The cell parameters are a = 11.792(2), b = 36.797(4), c = 18.574(2) Å, β = 92.15(2)° and Z = 4. The structure was solved with Patterson and direct methods and was refined to a final R-value of 3.41%. The asymmetric unit contains two complex molecules. The indium atoms are bidentally coordinated by three N,N-Diethyl-N′-benzoylselenourea molecules to form distorted octahedra with facial arrangement of the selenium and oxygen donor atoms. The chelate rings diverge strongly from planarity. The In? Se bond lengths vary from 2.643(1) to 2.657(1) Å, the In? O bond lengths from 2.179(4) to 2.203(4) Å, respectively. |
