P. Hodge et B. Piggott, SYNTHESIS AND X-RAY CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STRUCTURE OF GA-4(OH)(6)(3-BU(T)PZH)(10)I-6-CENTER-DOT-2MECN - A QUASI DOUBLE HETEROCUBANE, Chemical communications, (18), 1998, pp. 1933-1934
The reaction of K[HB(3-Bu(t)pz)(3)] with GaI3 resulted in breakdown of
the ligand and formation of a novel Ga/O cluster. This compound can b
e described as four edge-sharing Ga/O,N octahedra or as two face shari
ng partial Gal O heterocubanes, i.e. a quasi double heterocubane.
