Coordination Polyhedra M[CnMm] (M = Ga, In, Tl) in Crystal Structures
摘要
The crystal chemical analysis of compounds whose structure contains coordination polyhedra M[CnMm] where M = Ga, In, Tl is carried out by intersecting sectors and Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra (VDP). Coordination numbers of Ga, In, and Tl atoms in the carbon environment are found to be 1–5; 1–3; 1 and 5 respectively. It is shown that apart from M–C chemical bonds, in the structures of metal-organic compounds, these atoms can form 1–5 M–M (M = Ga, In, Tl) bonds in the case of gallium and 1 or 3 for indium and thallium derivatives. The presence is detected of a uniform liner dependence of solid angles of VDP faces corresponding to the formation of valence and non-valence M–C interactions on the respective internuclear distances. Possible agostic M⋯H–C (M = Ga, In, Tl) interactions are analysized.
