The title chain polymer compound, [GaLi2Br(C3H9OSi)4(C4H8O)2]n, was obtained in the reaction of GaBr3 with Me3SiOLi in toluene/tetra­hydro­furan. The GaIII atom, located on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by four trimethyl­silanolate ligands and has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The LiI atom is four coordinated by one bridging Br atom located on an inversion centre, two trimethyl­silanolate ligands and one tetra­hydro­furane mol­ecule in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The polymeric chains extend along [001]. The tetra­hydro­furane mol­ecule is disordered over two positions with site-occupancy factors of 0.57 (2) and 0.43 (2).

Comment top

Complex (I) was synthesized in the course of our studies on gallium clusters. The compound was obtained in the reaction of GaBr with Me3SiOLi. GaBr is unstable in solution and easily disproportionates to the metallic gallium, gallium clusters, and GaBr3 (Dohmeier et al., 1996). The direct reaction of GaBr3 with Me3SiOLi leads to complex (I).

The polymeric structure of (I) consist of {[Li(THF)][LiBr(THF)][Ga(OSiMe3)4]} moieties with gallium atom situated in the central position. The molecular structure of the monomeric unit of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The central gallium has a distorted tetrahedral geometry and is coordinated by four O atoms from trimethylsilanolate ligands. Each OSiMe3 ligand is a bridging one and additionally coordinates to the lithium atom. The Ga atom, two O atoms of siloxo ligands and Li atoms form a distorted planar square. Each Li atom is four coordinated by one Br atom, two O atoms from OSiMe3 ligands and one O atom from a molecule of tetrahydrofurane in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. To the best of our knowledge, only three examples of gallium complexes with OSiMe3 ligands are known (Wheatley, 1963; Barry & Richeson, 1994; Chisholm et al., 2001). [Li(THF)2[Ga(N(SiMe3)2(OSiMe3)2Cl] obtained by Barry & Richeson is very similar to complex (I). Both complexes contain distorted planar square formed by Ga1—O1—Li—O2 with comparable Ga—O distances: [1.848 (9) and 1.872 (1) Å (Barry & Richeson, 1994); 1.8207 (13) and 1.818 (14) Å (I)] and Li—O distances [1.90 (3) and 1.98 (3) Å (Barry & Richeson, 1994); 2.011 (4) and 1.972 (4) Å (I)].

Experimental top

Solution of GaBr (6,40 mmol) in toluene/THF (20 ml, 3:1) (Dohmeier et al., 1996) was added dropwise to solution of Me3SiOLi (0,813 g, 8,47 mmol) in THF (20 ml) at -78 °C. Afterwards, there action mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was filtred and concentrated in vacuo to half volume. Within a few days, orange crystals of (I) were formed solution at room temperature.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions (C—H 0.98 Å for methyl and 0.99 Å for methylene H atoms) and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methylene and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups. Atoms C7—C10 of one THF are disordered over two positions with site occupancy factors of 0.57 (2) and 0.43 (2).

Special details top

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
