Ga2Br2R2 und Ga3I2R3 [R = C(SiMe3)3] — zwei neue elementorganische Galliumsubhalogenide mit einer bzw. zwei Ga‐Ga‐Bindungen

Ga₂Br₂R₂ and Ga₃I₂R₃ [R = C(SiMe₃)₃] — Two New Organoelement Subhalides of Gallium Containing One or Two Ga‐Ga Single Bonds The oxidation of the tetrahedral tetragallium cluster Ga₄[C(SiMe₃)₃]₄ ( 1 ) with elemental bromine in the presence of AlBr₃ yielded the corresponding gallium subhalide Ga₂Br₂R₂ [ 4 , R = C(SiMe₃)₃], which remains monomer even in the solid state and in which the Ga^II atoms are connected by a short Ga‐Ga single bond [243.2(2) pm]. The analogous diiodide Ga₂I₂R₂ ( 3 ), which was obtained on a similar route by our group only recently, did not react with lithium tert‐butanolate by substitution as originally expected. Instead, partial disproportionation occurred with the formation of the trigallium diiodide Ga₃I₂R₃ ( 6 ), in which three Ga atoms are connected by two Ga‐Ga single bonds (255.1 pm on average). Both terminal Ga atoms have a coordination number of four owing to the bridging function of both iodine atoms, while the inner one which has an oxidation number of +1 remains coordinatively unsaturated. An average oxidation state of 1.66 resulted for all atoms of the chain. The Ga^III compound {[GaI(R)(OCMe₃)(OH)]Li}₂ ( 7 ) was isolated as the second product of the disproportionation. It is a dimer in the solid state via Li‐O bridges and shows a hindered rotation of its tert‐butyl group.     

Umsetzungen der Dielementverbindungen R2E–ER2 [E = Ga,In; R = CH(SiMe3)2] mit Lithium‐phenylethinid – Bildung von Addukten unter Erhalt der E–E‐Bindungen

Reactions of the Dielement Compounds R₂E–ER₂ [E = Ga, In; R = CH(SiMe₃)₂] with Lithium Phenylethynide – Formation of Adducts by Retention of the E–E Bonds Lithium phenylethynide reacted with the dielement compounds tetrakis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]digallane(4) ( 2 ) and diindane(4) ( 3 ) as a Lewis‐base and gave by the addition of one ethynido ligand to one of the Lewis‐acidic central atoms the anionic adducts 4 and 5 with intact Ga–Ga and In–In single bonds. Thus, compounds were formed, in which tricoordinated, coordinatively unsaturated Ga or In atoms are neighbored to tetracoordinated, coordinatively saturated ones. The E–E bonds [255.83 pm in 4 (Ga–Ga) and 285.24 pm in 5 (In–In)] are only slightly lengthened compared to those of the starting compounds 2 and 3 . A dynamic behavior with a fast change of the position of the ethynido ligand was observed for both compounds in solution at room temperature.     

Die Insertion von Sauerstoffatomen in Ga–Ga- und In–In-Bindungen – Bildung von monomeren Verbindungen R2E–O–ER2 [R = CH(SiMe3)2] mit stark aufgeweiteten E–O–E-Winkeln

The Insertion of Oxygen Atoms into Ga–Ga and In–In Bonds – Formation of the Monomeric Compounds R₂E–O–ER₂ [R = CH(SiMe₃)₂] with Strongly Enlarged Angles E–O–E The tetraalkyldielement compounds R₂Ga–GaR₂ ( 1 ) und R₂In–InR₂ ( 2 ) [R = CH(SiMe₃)₂] reacted with trimethylamine N-oxide by the insertion of oxygen atoms in their element-element single bonds. The products R₂E–O–ER₂ are monomeric in the solid state due to the high steric shielding by the voluminous bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl groups. As shown by crystal structure determinations, the E–O–E bridges have large angles of 142.7 (E = Ga, 3 ) and 138.6° (E = In, 4 ) and short separations between the oxygen and the coordinatively unsaturated Ga and In atoms. Both products are extremely hygroscopic.     

Die Reaktion des Digalliumsubiodids R(I)Ga‐Ga(I)R [R = C(SiMe3)3] mit Lithium‐diphenylphosphanid – radikalische Öffnung der Ga‐Ga‐Bindung

The Reaction of the Digallium Subiodide R(I)Ga‐Ga(I)R [R = C(SiMe₃)₃] with Lithium Diphenylphosphanide – Radical Cleavage of the Ga‐Ga Bond The easily available organoelement digallium(II) subiodide R(I)Ga‐Ga(I)R ( 1 ) [R = C(SiMe₃)₃] reacted with two equivalents of lithium diphenylphosphanide in toluene by the replacement of both iodine atoms by two phosphanido groups. The product, [R(H)Ga‐P(C₆H₅)₂]₂ ( 2 ), contains a four‐membered Ga₂P₂ heterocycle without direct Ga‐Ga bonding interactions and the gallium atoms exclusively in an oxidation state of +III. They are attached to hydrogen atoms, which may result from a reaction of a reactive intermediate with the solvent.     

Untersuchungen zur Carbeninsertion in Al–Al-, Ga–Ga- und In–In-Bindungen

Investigations on the Insertion of Carbenes into Al–Al, Ga–Ga, and In–In Bonds Tetrakis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]dialane(4) 1 reacts with methylthiomethyl lithium LiCH₂SMe by the formation of lithium thiomethanolate LiSMe and the insertion of the remaining carbene CH₂ into its Al–Al single bond. A chelating Lewis acid is formed exhibiting a central R₂Al–CH₂–AlR₂ group with two coordinatively unsaturated Al atoms, which coordinate the thiomethanolate anion by Al–S bonds. The product (μ-methylene)(μ-thiomethanolato)bis{bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]aluminate} ( 4 ) was characterized by a crystal structure determination and has a strongly folded Al₂CS heterocycle in the molecular core. In contrast, the corresponding compounds with Ga–Ga or In–In bonds show on treatment with methylthiomethyl lithium a fragmentation, and the carbene intermediate could not be detected in both isolated products, which were identified as [R₂E(CH₂SMe)₂][Li(TMEDA)] (E = Ga: 5 ; E = In: 6 ) and LiCH(SiMe₃)₂ probably formed by a metal exchange reaction.     

Terminale und verbrückende Koordination von Indium‐Indium‐Bindungen – bemerkenswerte Polymorphie an der Verbindung In2R2[(OCC6H5)2CH]2 [R = C(SiMe3)3]

Terminal and Bridging Coordination of Indium‐Indium Bonds – Remarkable Polymorphism with the Compound In₂R₂[(OCC₆H₅)₂CH]₂ [R = C(SiMe₃)₃] Treatment of the dimeric indium(II) subhalide (In₂R₂Cl₂)₂ ( 1 ) [R = C(SiMe₃)₃] with four equivalents of lithium dipivaloylmethanide or lithium dibenzoylmethanide afforded by the release of lithium chloride the corresponding diindium diacetylacetonates ( 2 and 3 ). The In‐In single bonds of the products were terminally coordinated by chelating acectylacetonato ligands and the bulky alkyl groups. Three different crystal structures were determined for the dibenzoylmethanide derivative 3 which in the solid state adopted trans and gauche conformations across the In‐In bonds. In contrast to the terminally arranged acetylacetonato ligands of compounds 2 and 3 alkylbenzoato ligands R‐COO^? (3,5‐dimethylbenzoate and p‐tert‐butylbenzoate) gave the bridging coordination of the In‐In bonds by two chelating carboxylato groups ( 4 and 5 ). This particular coordination caused a strong shortening of the In‐In bond length in 4 compared to the unsupported bonds in 2 and 3 (264.6 versus 274.7 to 279.3 pm).     

Effect of Inter‐Porphyrin Distance on Spin‐State in Diiron(III) μ‐Hydroxo Bisporphyrins

The synthesis, structure, and properties of bischloro, μ‐oxo, and a family of μ‐hydroxo complexes (with BF₄^?, SbF₆^?, and PF₆^? counteranions) of diethylpyrrole‐bridged diiron(III) bisporphyrins are reported. Spectroscopic characterization has revealed that the iron centers of the bischloro and μ‐oxo complexes are in the high‐spin state (S=⁵/₂). However, the two iron centers in the diiron(III) μ‐hydroxo complexes are equivalent with high spin (S=⁵/₂) in the solid state and an intermediate‐spin state (S=³/₂) in solution. The molecules have been compared with previously known diiron(III) μ‐hydroxo complexes of ethane‐bridged bisporphyrin, in which two different spin states of iron were stabilized under the influence of counteranions. The dimanganese(III) analogues were also synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. A comparison of the X‐ray structural parameters between diethylpyrrole and ethane‐bridged μ‐hydroxo bisporphyrins suggest an increased separation, and hence, less interactions between the two heme units of the former. As a result, unlike the ethane‐bridged μ‐hydroxo complex, both iron centers become equivalent in the diethylpyrrole‐bridged complex and their spin state remains unresponsive to the change in counteranion. The iron(III) centers of the diethylpyrrole‐bridged diiron(III) μ‐oxo bisporphyrin undergo very strong antiferromagnetic interactions (J=?137.7 cm^?1), although the coupling constant is reduced to only a weak value in the μ‐hydroxo complexes (J=?42.2, ?44.1, and ?42.4 cm^?1 for the BF₄, SbF₆, and PF₆ complexes, respectively).     

[Ga6R8]2– (R = SiPh2Me): Eine metalloide Clusterverbindung mit einem unerwarteten Ga6‐Gerüst

[Ga₆R₈]^2– (R = SiPh₂Me): A Metalloid Cluster Compound with an Unexpected Ga₆‐Frame The reaction of a metastable solution of GaBr with a solution of LiSiPh₂Me in a toluene/THF mixture results in orange coloured crystals of [Ga₆(SiPh₂Me)₈]^2– · 2 [Li(THF)₄]⁺ ( 1 ). The unexpected structure of the planar Ga₆ frame (C_2h) could also be realized with the help of DFT calculation. DFT calculations furthermore show that 1 is energetically favoured against an octahedral Ga₆R₆^2– species and R₂. In contrast calculations for the similar Al and B species show that in these cases the octahedral entities are favoured. These results demonstrate that even for similar compounds of B, Al, and Ga Wade rules are too general and that they cannot predict the correct structure. Moreover the atomic arrangement within 1 shows that a structure is preferred which is also present in allotropic β‐Ga and that therefore clusters of this type should be called metalloid or more general elementoid.     

A Dimeric Gallium Hydrazide as an Active Lewis Pair – Complexation and Activation of Me2GaH and Various Heterocumulenes

Treatment of the dimeric gallium hydrazide [Me₂Ga‐N(2‐Ad)‐NC₅H₁₀]₂ ( 5 ) with Me₂GaH resulted in the formation of an adduct 6 by Ga–N bond cleavage and coordination of the metal hydride via a Ga–N and a 3c–2e Ga–H–Ga bond. This reaction reflects the typical behavior of frustrated Lewis pairs. Reactions with heterocumulenes R–N=C=X (R = Ph, CMe₃, Dipp, X = O; R = Ph, X = S) or X=C=X (X = O, S) resulted in the formation of the cyclic Ga–N insertion products Me₂Ga–N(R)C(O)N(2‐Ad)‐NC₅H₁₀ ( 7a – c ), Me₂GaS₂C‐N(2‐Ad)‐NC₅H₁₀ ( 8 ) or Me₂GaX₂C‐N(2‐Ad)‐NC₅H₁₀ [X = O ( 9 ); S ( 10 )] in moderate to good yields. Three different structural motifs were observed in the solid state: Five‐membered GaNCN₂ heterocycles with exocyclic C=O bonds for compounds 7a – c , four‐membered GaSCN or GaSCS heterocycles for compounds 8 and 9 (chelating coordination of the Ga atoms by SCN and CS₂ ligands) and an eight‐membered (GaOCO)₂ heterocycle for the dimeric CO₂ insertion product 10 . Treatment of 5 with PhCN or Ph₂CO resulted in a completely different reaction and afforded a dimeric Ga imide 11a or an alcoholate 11b . These reactions may start by retro‐hydrogallation with the formation of H₁₀C₅N–N=C(C₉H₁₄) and Me₂GaH and proceed by addition of the metal hydride to the polar multiple bonds of the nitrile or ketone.     

Crystal Structures,Magnetic Properties and Catecholase‐Like Activities of μ‐Alkoxo‐μ‐Carboxylato Double Bridged Dinuclear and Tetranuclear Copper(II) Complexes

One μ‐alkoxo‐μ‐carboxylato bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu₂(L¹)(μ‐C₆H₅CO₂)] ( 1 )(H₃L¹ = 1,3‐bis(salicylideneamino)‐2‐propanol)), and two μ‐alkoxo‐μ‐dicarboxylato doubly‐bridged tetranuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu₄(L¹)₂(μ‐C₈H₁₀O₄)(DMF)₂]·H₂O ( 2 ) and [Cu₄(L²)₂(μ‐C₅H₆O₄]·2H₂O·2CH₃CN ( 3 ) (H₃L² = 1,3‐bis(5‐bromo‐salicylideneamino)‐2‐propanol)) have been prepared and characterized. The single crystal X‐ray analysis shows that the structure of complex 1 is dimeric with two adjacent copper(II) atoms bridged by μ‐alkoxo‐μ‐carboxylato ligands where the Cu···Cu distances and Cu‐O(alkoxo)‐Cu angles are 3.5 11 Å and 132.8°, respectively. Complexes 2 and 3 consist of a μ‐alkoxo‐μ‐dicarboxylato doubly‐bridged tetranuclear Cu(II) complex with mean Cu‐Cu distances and Cu‐O‐Cu angles of 3.092 Å and 104.2° for 2 and 3.486 Å and 129.9° for 3 , respectively. Magnetic measurements reveal that 1 is strong antiferromagnetically coupled with 2J =‐210 cm^?1 while 2 and 3 exhibit ferromagnetic coupling with 2J = 126 cm^?1 and 82 cm^?1 (averaged), respectively. The 2J values of 1–3 are correlated to dihedral angles and the Cu‐O‐Cu angles. Dependence of the pH at 25 °C on the reaction rate of oxidation of 3,5‐di‐tert‐butylcatechol (3,5‐DTBC) to the corresponding quinone (3,5‐DTBQ) catalyzed by 1–3 was studied. Complexes 1–3 exhibit catecholase‐like active at above pH 8 and 25 °C for oxidation of 3,5‐di‐tert‐butylcatechol.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur eines μ-Methylen-μ-hydrido-dialanats [R2Al(μ-CH2)(μ-H)AlR2]− (R = CH(SiMe3)2)

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a μ-Methylene-μ-hydrido-dialanate [R₂Al(μ-CH₂)(μ-H)AlR₂]^? (R = CH(SiMe₃)₂) tert-Butyl lithium reacts with the recently synthesized methylene bridged dialuminium compound [(Me₃Si)₂CH]₂Al? CH₂? Al[CH(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 2 in the presence of TMEDA under β-elimination; the thereby formed hydride anion is bound in a chelating manner by both unsaturated aluminium atoms forming a 3c–2e–Al? H? Al bond. The crystal structure of the product shows two independent molecules differing only slightly in bond lengths and angles, but significantly in conformation. While one of the Al₂CH heterocycles deviates little from planarity with a rough C₂ symmetry for the whole anion, the other one is folded with an angle of 21.1° and the arrangement of the substituents is best described by C_s symmetry.     

A novel three‐dimensional coordination polymer: poly[di‐μ3‐acetato‐di‐μ2‐acetato‐di‐μ3‐hydroxido‐octa‐μ3‐triazolato‐heptamanganese(II)]

The title compound, [Mn₇(C₂H₂N₃)₈(C₂H₃O₂)₄(OH)₂]_n, is composed of centrosymmetric heptanuclear building units with the central Mn atom on an inversion center. In the building block, three Mn^II ions are held together by one μ₃‐hydroxide group, two μ₂‐triazolate (trz) ligands and two μ₂‐acetate groups, forming an Mn₃ cluster. Two Mn₃ clusters are bridged by an Mn atom via two μ₂‐trz ligands and two μ₂‐O atoms from two acetate ions to construct a heptanuclear building block. The heptanuclear building units, lying parallel to each other along the b direction, form one‐dimensional ladder‐like chains and are further interlinked, resulting in a three‐dimensional framework through Mn—N_trz bonds.     

Ca3Au6.61Ga4.39 – A New Gallide with a Three‐Dimensional Gold–Gallium Network

Ca₃Au_6.61Ga_4.39 was synthesized by reacting the elements in a glassy carbon crucible under argon in a water‐cooled sample chamber in a high‐frequency furnace. The compound crystallizes with a new hexagonal structure type, space group P6₃/mmc: Z = 2, a = 926.6(2), c = 733.1(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0832, 328 F values and 20 variables. This structure type consists of a remarkably complex three‐dimensional [Au_6.61Ga_4.39] network with significant Au–Au, Au–Ga, and Ga–Ga interactions. The calcium atoms are located within slightly distorted hexagonal channels of the gold–gallium network. The structural relations to the AlB₂ and Er₂RhSi₃ type structures are discussed.     

Poly[aqua­(μ3‐benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxyl­ato)(μ2‐hydroxo)indium(III)]

In the title compound, [In(C₈H₄O₄)(OH)(H₂O)]_n, the coordination of the In^III ion is composed of six O atoms from three dianionic benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate ligands, two hydroxyl groups and one coordinated water mol­ecule in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The In³⁺ ions are linked by the hydroxyl groups to form zigzag In–OH–In chains, which are further bridged by the benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid ligands to generate a two‐dimensional layered structure featuring three types of rings (six‐, 14‐ and 20‐membered). Hydrogen bonds between the water mol­ecule and a carboxyl­ate O atom, and between the hydroxyl group and a carboxyl­ate O atom, are observed within the layers. In the crystal packing, there are π–­π stacking inter­actions between the benzene rings of adjacent layers, with a centroid‐to‐centroid distance of 3.668 (3) Å and a dihedral angle of 4.8 (2)°.     

Verbrückende Koordination von Gallium–Gallium‐Bindungen durch Chelatliganden – Grenzen der Beständigkeit von Digallium‐Verbindungen

Bridging Coordination of Gallium–Gallium Bonds by Chelating Ligands – Limitations of the Stability of Digallium Derivatives The reactions of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]‐di(μ‐acetato)digallium(Ga–Ga) ( 2 ) with lithium‐2‐amido‐1‐methylbenzimidazole in the molar ratios of 1 to 1 or 1 to 2 yielded by the precipitation of lithium aceatate new digallium compounds, in which the intact Ga–Ga bonds were bridged by two chelating ligands. The replacement of only one acetato group gave compound 5 , that possesses two different bridging ligands with the benzimidazole group coordinated by its terminal amido function and that nitrogen atom of the heterocycle which is not attached to a methyl group. If both acetato groups were replaced by imdazole ligands, two products were obtained, in which the chelates are transferred in each other either by a mirror plane parallel to the Ga–Ga bond (cis, 6 ) or by a twofold rotational axis perpendicular to the element–element bond (trans, 7 ). 7 is thermodynamically favored and was irreversibly formed by heating of the mixture. 5 and 7 were characterized by crystal structure determinations and have Ga atoms in a chiral environment. Weaker donor ligands such as diphenyl(lithiomethyl)(piperidinomethyl)silane, which in principal is able to coordinate via its carbanionic carbon atom and more weakly via its sterically shielded piperidino nitrogen atom, led to the cleavage of the Ga–Ga bond. The mononuclear compound 8 was isolated, in which the Ga atom is attached to one bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl group and two (piperidinomethyl)silyl substituents. Furthermore, the synthesis of a dialkyl‐bis(1,3‐dionato)digallium derivative ( 9 ) is reported, in which the chelating 1,3‐dionato groups are terminally coordinated to the Ga atoms of the unsupported Ga–Ga bond.     

An Experimental Evidence of a Metal−Metal Bond in μ‐Carbonylhexacarbonyl[μ‐(5‐oxofuran‐2(5H)‐ylidene‐κC,κC)]‐dicobalt(Co−Co)[Co2(CO)6(μ‐CO)(μ‐C4O2H2)]

The orthorhombic crystal structure of [Co₂(CO)₆(μ‐CO)(μ‐C₄O₂H₂)] ( 1 ) was determined at 150 K (Fig. 1). Two C−H⋅⋅⋅O bonds connect the molecules, forming waving ribbons along the b axis. The experimental electron density, determined with the aspherical‐atom formalism, was analyzed with the topological theory of molecular structure. The presence of the Co−Co bond critical point indicates for the first time the existence of a metal−metal bond in a system with bridged ligands. The bond critical properties of the intramolecular bonds and of the intermolecular interactions show features similar to those found in [Mn₂(CO)₁₀], confirming our previously established bonding classification for organometallic and coordination compounds.     

Donorstabilisierte Galliumdihalogenide Ga2X4·2D (X = Cl,Br; D = Donormolekül): Ein experimenteller Beitrag zu den Variationsmöglichkeiten der Ga‐Ga‐Einfachbindung

Donor‐stabilized Galliumdihalides Ga₂X₄·2D (X = Cl, Br; D = Donor): An Experimental Contribution on the Variation of the Gallium‐Gallium Single Bond During the disproportionation of metastable GaX‐solutions (X= Cl, Br) donor‐stabilized galliumdihalides are formed as oxidized products. According to X‐ray structure analyses they all exhibit dimeric entities DX₂Ga‐GAX₂D (D= THF, NHEt2, NEt3, 4‐^tButylpyridin or Br^‐), which means these compounds are isoelectronic with ethane and could schematically be regarded as representatives of catenulate or alkane‐like gallium subhalides: Ga_n(X, D)_2n+2. The gallium‐gallium bond in these compounds is shorter than in the organometallic compounds such as R₂Ga‐GaR₂. The comparison of the bonding situation in the galliumdihalides, particularly of the gallium‐gallium bond, shows clearly the influence by donor molecules as well as by halogen ligands.     

Synthesis,Single Crystal Growth and Crystal Structure of Ta7Cu10Ga34 – a 8 × 4 × 2 Super Structure of CsCl

Single crystals of Ta₇Cu₁₀Ga₃₄ were grown from the elements in a Cu/Ga melt. Ta₇Cu₁₀Ga₃₄ represents the first ternary compound of the system Ta/Cu/Ga. The crystal structure (Cmmm, oC102, Z = 2, a = 23.803(1), b = 12.2087(4), c = 5.7487(2) Å, 1291 refl. 78 parameters, R₁ = 0.037, wR₂ = 0.070). The crystal structure is characterized by rods of pentagonal prisms MGa₁₀, which are alternatingly occupied by Ta and Cu. Four of these rods are connected to columns running in direction (001). These columns are linked by cubic units TaGa₈, CuGa₈, and GaGa₈. According to the characteristic structural elements and the size of the unit cell Ta₇Cu₁₀Ga₃₄ represents a 8 × 4 × 2 super structure of CsCl or bcc. With respect to the underlying CsCl structure the formula can be written as [Ta₇Cu₁₀Ga₂□₁₃]Ga₃₂, i.e. a cubic primitive packing of 32 Ga atoms with Ta, Cu, and Ga in cubic voids and 13 vacancies. The pentagonal‐prismatic coordination of Ta and Cu can formally be obtained from the cubic primitive packing of Ga atoms by a 45° rotation of a part of the Ga₈ cubes. There is a close similarity to the binary compounds Ta₈Ga₄₁ and Ta_2–xGa_5+x. The first one is also related to a CsCl‐like structure, the latter one contains rods of pentagonal prisms, which form the same columns. There are also relations to the ternaries V₂Cu₃Ga₈ and V₁₁Cu₉Ga₄₆, whose cubic structures are more or less complex variants of CsCl.     

Poly[aqua(μ3‐benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylato)bis(μ3‐hydroxido)bis(μ2‐isonicotinato)dierbium(III) monohydrate] and the thulium analogue

The two isomorphous lanthanide coordination polymers, {[Ln₂(C₆H₄NO₂)₂(C₈H₄O₄)(OH)₂(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n (Ln = Er and Tm), contain two crystallographically independent Ln ions which are both eight‐coordinated by O atoms, but with quite different coordination environments. In both crystal structures, adjacent Ln atoms are bridged by μ₃‐OH groups and carboxylate groups of isonicotinate and benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate ligands, forming infinite chains in which the Er...Er and Tm...Tm distances are in the ranges 3.622 (3)–3.894 (4) and 3.599 (7)–3.873 (1) Å, respectively. Adjacent chains are further connected through hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions into a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework.     

Tolterodinium (+)‐(2R,3R)‐hydrogen tartrate

In the crystal structure of (R)‐N,N‐diisopropyl‐3‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl­phenyl)‐3‐phenyl­propyl­aminium (2R,3R)‐hydrogen tartrate, C₂₂H₃₂NO⁺·C₄H₅O₆⁻, the hydrogen tartrate anions are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form helical chains built from (9) rings. These chains are linked by the tolterodine molecules via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form separate sheets parallel to the (101) plane.
