The Crystal Structure of InGaO3(ZnO)4: A Single Crystal X‐ray and Electron Diffraction Study

The crystal structure of the mixed oxide InGaO₃(ZnO)₄ has been determined from electron diffraction and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data. The compound crystallises in a hexagonal space group (P6₃/mmc; No. 194), deduced from convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED). Single crystals of InGaO₃(ZnO)₄ were grown from a K₂MoO₄ flux in sealed platinum tubes. Single crystal structure refinement from XRD data [a = 3.2850(2) Å; c = 32.906(3) Å; Z = 2; 4232 data, R₁ = 0.0685] reveals a compound with oxygen anions forming a closest‐packed arrangement. Within this packing In³⁺ cations occupy octahedral interstices, forming layers of edge sharing octahedra. In between these layers are regions with composition [Zn₄GaO₅]⁺ forming a wurtzite type of structure. Inversions of the ZnO₄ tetrahedra occurs (i) at the InO₆ octahedral layer and (ii) halfway in the wurtzite type region, where the inversion boundary is built by Ga³⁺ in trigonal bipyramidal coordination with a long Ga–O_apical distance of 2.19(1) Å. The site occupation of Zn²⁺ and Ga³⁺, respectively, was confirmed by bond valence sum calculations. The compounds described here have the same structural charactistics as other known members with general formula ARO₃(ZnO)_m with m = integer.

Reactions of 1,2-catechol with Bu3M (M = Ga, In). Structures of intermediate products

Reactions of 1,2-catechol with ^tBu₃M (M = Ga, In) have been studied. Trinuclear compounds [^tBu₅M₃(OC₆H₄O)₂] [M = Ga (1), M = In (2)] were synthesised in the reaction of 2 equiv. of C₆H₄(OH)₂ with 3 equiv. of ^tBu₃M in refluxing solvents. At room temperature the reaction of 1,2-catechol with ^tBu₃In in Et₂O leads to the formation of a binuclear complex [^tBu₄In₂(OC₆H₄OH)₂ · 2Et₂O] (3) possessing a four-membered In₂O₂ core and two unreacted hydroxyl groups. The same reaction carried out in a non-coordinating solvent (CH₂Cl₂) results in formation a compound [^tBu₃In₂(OC₆H₄O)(OC₆H₄OH)] (4), which undergoes a reaction with ^tBu₃In to yield the product 2. Moreover two intermediate isomeric products 5 and 6 of formula [^tBu₃Ga₂(OC₆H₄O)(OC₆H₄OH)] were isolated from the post-reaction mixture of 1,2-catechol with ^tBu₃Ga. The compound 6 possessing a different coordination of gallium atoms than 5 is a result of the intramolecular rearrangement of the compound 5 to decrease the steric repultion between ligands. Compounds 3 and 6 were structurally characterised. According to the structure of intermediate products 3-6 a reaction pathway of 1,2-catechols with group 13 metal trialkyls was proposed.

Reactions of a Ga/P‐Based Frustrated Lewis Pair with HX (X = F – I), Heterocumulenes R–NCY (Y = O,S) and Chalcogens–Adduct Formation and Surprising Stability towards Protolysis

Treatment of the geminal Ga/P‐based frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) Mes₂P–C(GatBu₂)=C(H)–Ph ( 1 ) with HX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) afforded the corresponding adducts 2 with the protons bound to the P and the halide anions coordinated to the Ga atoms. Short intramolecular contacts may indicate P–H ··· X hydrogen bonding interactions. The Br and I compounds ( 2c , 2d ) were accessible in moderate yields even when aqueous solutions of the acids were employed. These unexpected reactions confirm the surprising stability of FLP 1 towards protolysis. Heterocumulenes R–N=C=Y (Y = O, S) and 1 yielded adducts with two different structural motifs. The N=C=Y groups were coordinated to the FLP either via the C=Y (Y = S; Ph–N=C=O) or the C=N bonds (Ph–N=C=O, Et–N=C=O). For phenyl isocyanate the C=O bonded isomer was observed in the solid state, while both isomeric forms were detected in solution. Steric shielding and the hardness of the atoms may influence the formation of the respective isomer. Cleavage of the C=S bonds of isothiocyanates was observed for the first time and afforded a sulfur adduct 9a , in which an S atom (electron sextet) was bound to the lone pair of electrons at phosphorus and to the Lewis acidic Ga atom. Four‐membered PCGaY heterocycles resulted, which were also synthesized in high yields by the direct reaction of 1 with propylene sulfide or selenium.
