X-Ray Crystal Structure of an Organoindium Alkoxide Dimer, (Ph2InOSiMe3) 2.

Abstract

The solid-state structure of (Ph2InOSiMe3)2 1 has been established by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Monoclinic crystals of 1 belong to space group P21/c, with a = 9.136(1), b = 15.503(2), c = 11.836(1) A, Beta = 102.46(1) degree, Z = 2. Refinement of atomic parameters converged at R = 0.050 (R, = 0. 063) over 1718 observed reflections with I >3.0o(I). The dimeric molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry with In-O distance of 2.15(7) and 2. 149(8) A, O-In-O = 78.9(3) degrees, and In = 101.1(3) degrees. Compound 1 is only the second example of a simple dimeric organoindium alkoxide to be structurally characterized in this manner.
