We report for the first time the direct complexation of AlMe 3 by a Zr 3 (µ 3 -O) core. The precursor [Zr 4 (µ 4 -O)(µ-OMe) 6 Cl 8 (thf) 4 ] (1) was obtained in the direct reaction of ZrCl 4 with methanol. When 1 was allowed to react with AlMe 3 , [Zr 3 Al(µ 4 -O)(µ-OMe) 6 Cl 6 -(Me)(thf) 3 ] (2) was isolated. An analogous trend was observed in the compound [Zr 4 Al 2 (µ 4 -O) 2 (OEt) 12 Cl 6 ] (3), which was obtained in the direct reaction of ZrCl 4 with Zr(OEt) 4 and Al in thf/EtOH.(1) (a) Bochmann, M.
The structure of the title compound, [MnCl2(C5H10O2)2], was solved from low-temperature data collected at 100 (2) K. The asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule with the MnII ion located on a twofold axis. A distorted octahedral environment around the Mn atom is formed by two ether and two hydroxyl O atoms of two 2-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran ligands, and by two chloride ions. The chelating tetrahydrofuran ligands, which form five-membered rings, are cis oriented. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonding between the coordinated OH groups and the chloride ions.
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.
