Abstract
Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-l-pyrazolyl)(ethanolamino)gallato(N(2),O,N(3))](η3-cycloheptatrienyl)dicarbonylmolybdenum are monoclinic, a = 10.511(1), b = 8.335(1), c = 24.138(3) Å, β = 102.22(1)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was reflned by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.028 and Rw = 0.046 for 3708 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The crystal structure consists of discrete molecules linked by N—H … O hydrogen bonds (N … O = 2.929(5) Å). The Mo atom is in a distorted octahedral environment with the η3-C7H7 ligand occupying one coordination site, trans to the amino nitrogen, as a π-donating ligand. Important bond distances (corrected for libration) are: Mo—O, 2.245(2), Mo—N(amino), 2.249(3), Mo—N(pyrazolyl), 2.270(3), Mo—C(O), 1.950(4) and 1.947(4), Mo—C(C7H7), 2.176(4), 2.364(4), and 2.380(4), Ga—O, 1.919(3), Ga—N, 1.984(3), and Ga—C, 1.982(5) and 1.983(5) Å. An unusual type of disorder is present in which a second image of the molecule, approximately mirrored by the plane y = 1/4, is in evidence at low occupancy.
