S. Zanias et al., Gallium(III) chloride benzotriazole chemistry: variation of product as a function of metal-to-ligand reaction ratio; preparation, structure and properties of a tetrahedral adduct and the first example of a GaX3L2 trigonal-bipyramidal complex, INORG CH C, 2(2), 1999, pp. 48-51
The I : I and 1 :3 reactions of GaCl3 with benzotriazole (Hbta 1 in toluene
-diethyl ether afforded the pseudotetrahedral adduct [GaCl3( Hbta)] (1) and
the novel trigonal-bipyramidal species [GaCl3(Hbta)(2)] (2), respectively,
crystal structures of which have been determined. Some spectroscopic prope
rties of the prepared complexes are also discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scien
