SYNTHETIC AND STRUCTURAL STUDIES ON GROUP-13 COMPLEXES CONTAINING THE M(CO)3(ETA-C5H5) FRAGMENT (M = CR OR MO) .2. COMPLEXES (INCLX(M(CO)3(ETA-C5H5))2)N- (X = 1, N = 0, X = 2, N = 1)

The synthesis and solution infrared studies of a range of compounds of general formula [InX(L){M(CO)3(eta-C5H5)}2] have been performed where X = Cl or l, L = X, tetrahydrofuran (thf), pyridine (py) and M = Cr, Mo or W. In addition, structures have been determined by X-ray analysis for [InCl(thf){Mo(CO)3(eta-C5H5)}], [InCl(py){Cr(CO)3(eta-C5H5)}2] and [NMe4][InCl2{Mo(CO)3(eta-C5H5)}2] and these are discussed and compared with the structures of related complexes.
