ISOSTRUCTURAL MIXED-LIGAND COMPLEXES OF [VO](2+) AND [INCL](2+) WITH HYDROTRIS(3,5-DIMETHYLPYRAZOLYL)BORATO AND 1,3-DIPHENYL-1,3-PROPANEDIONATO LIGANDS

The crystal and molecular structures of (1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionato-kappa(2)O,O')oxo[tris(3,5-dimethyl-1 -pyrazolyl-kappa N-2)hydroborato]vanadium(IV) (1) and chloro(1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionato-kappa(2)O,O')[tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl-kappa N-2)hydroborato]indium(III) methyl cyanide (2) have been determined. The crystals of both (1) and (2) consist of discrete six-coordinate molecules which have distorted octahedral geometries. As expected, there is a lengthening of the V-N bond trans to the terminal oxo group in the vanadium complex with a similar, but less pronounced, lengthening of the In-N bond trans to the chloro group in the indium complex.
