Crystal structure of bis-(μ-5-nona-noylquinolin-8-olato)bis-[aqua-dichlorido-indium(III)].

Crystallization of 5-nona-noyl-8-hy-droxy-quinoline in the presence of InCl in aceto-nitrile yields a dinuclear In complex crystallizing in the space group . In this complex, [In(CHNO)Cl(HO)], each indium ion is sixfold coordinated by two chloride ions, one water mol-ecule and two 8-quinolino-late ions. The crystal of the title complex is composed of two-dimensional supra-molecular aggregates, resulting from the linkage of the O-H⋯O=C and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds as well as bifurcated C-H⋯Cl contacts.
