Abstract

Isostructural fluorooxalate complex compounds of indium(III) M2[InF3(C2O4)H2O] (M = K, Rb), being the first representatives of a new class of mixed-ligand fluoro-containing complex compounds of indium(III) are synthesized for the first time and structurally studied. The crystal structures of M2[InF3(C2O4)H2O] (M = K, Rb) are formed of K+ cations (Rb+ respectively) and complex [InF3(C2O4)H2O]2- anions. The indium atom in the complex anion is surrounded by four F atoms, two of which are bridging, the oxygen atom of the coordinated H2O molecule, and two oxygen atoms of the bis-bidentate (tetradentate) oxalate group. The coordination polyhedron of the indium atom (CN 7) is a pentagonal bipyramid. Via alternating double bridging F atoms and tetradentate bridging C2O4 group, the In(III) atom polyhedra are arranged in polymer chains. Via hydrogen O-H⋯F bonds the chains are organized in layers. Between the layers, the K+ or Rb+ cations are located, which strengthen the crystal structure.
