Trichlorido(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)(methanol-κO)indium(III)

Abstract

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, [InCl3(C12H12N2)(CH4O)], the InIII atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral configuration by two N atoms from the chelating 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′- bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a methanol molecule and three Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O - H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains parallel to [001].
