Die Kristallstruktur von cis‐ und trans‐N‐iso‐Propylamidodimethylindium, [(CH3)2In‐N(H)iC3H7]2

The Crystal Structure of cis‐ and trans‐N‐iso‐Propylamidodimethyl Indium, (CH₃)₂In‐N(H)ⁱC₃H₇]₂ According to the X‐ray structure determination (CH₃)₂In‐N(H)ⁱC₃H₇]₂ (prepared from InMe₃ (Me = CH₃) and H₂NⁱPr (ⁱPr = CH(CH₃)₂) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with 3 dimeric trans as well as 3 dimeric cis isomers per unit cell. The centrosymmetric form has a planar In₂N₂ core with In—N bonds of 222.1(4) and 222.9(5) pm, respectively, the skeleton of the cis isomer with In—N bonds of 221.4(4) pm is slightly folded (13.7°). Some ¹H, ¹³C NMR, IR, and Raman data are reported.
