The crystal structures of three indium(lll) complexes with nitrilotriacetate (nta) have been determined. Crystallographic data for the compounds are as follows: [ln(nta)(H20)2] n .2nH20(1), orthorombic, space group P2 1 2 1 2 1 , a = 7.870(1), b = 11.505(2), c = 13.721(3) A, V =
1242.4(4) A 3 and Ζ = 4; Κ 3 [Ιη(ηί3) 2 ].5Η2θ (2), monoclinic, space groupP2i/c, a = 15.599(4), b = 9.814(2), c = 16.057(4) Α, β = 110.00(2)°, V = 2310(1) A 3 and Ζ = 4; {C(NH 2 )3}3[ln(nta) 2 ].2H 2 0 (3), triclinic, space group ΡΪ a = 9.517(3), b = 9.717(2), c = 15.306(4) Α, α = 76.17(2), β = 89.47(2), γ = 88.75(2)°, V = 1374.1(6) A 3 and Ζ = 2. In the polymeric-chain structure of 1 the In atom is seven-coordinated by two water molecules and nta 3 ", the latter being quadridentate towards one indium and forming bridges between two metal centres, whereas compounds 2 and 3 have monomeric structure with eight-coordinate complex anions containing two quadridentate nta ligands. The coordination geometry around the In atom is: a trigonal prism capped on a square face (1), a nearly ideal dodecahedron (2) and a highly distorted tetragonal antiprism (3).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
