    Abstract:
    The indium(III) halo-bridged octahedral dimers [InX(2)(L-L)(mu-X)(2)InX(2)(L-L)] (X = Cl: L-L = MeS(CH(2))(2)SMe, MeSe(CH(2))(2)SeMe, (n)BuSe(CH(2))(2)Se(n)Bu), the ionic trans-[InX(2)(L-L)(2)][InX(4)] (X = Cl: L-L = (i)PrS(CH(2))(2)S(i)Pr; X = Br: L-L = MeS(CH(2))(2)SMe, (i)PrS(CH(2))(2)S(i)Pr, MeSe(CH(2))(2)SeMe), cis-[InCl(2)(thiamacrocycle)][InCl(4)] (thiamacrocycle = [12]aneS(4) or [14]aneS(4)) and the neutral, octahedral [InCl(3)([9]aneS(3))] and [InCl(3){MeC(CH(2)SMe)(3)}] were obtained in good yield by the reaction of 1:1 molar ratios of InX(3) with the ligand in anhydrous CH(2)Cl(2) solution. The distorted tetrahedral [InX(3)(Me(2)Se)] (X = Cl, Br or I) and [InX(3)(Me(2)Te)] (X = Br or I) were obtained from 1:3 and 1:2 molar ratios respectively of InX(3) and Me(2)E (E = Se or Te) also in CH(2)Cl(2). The ligand-bridged, distorted tetrahedral dimers [(InCl(3))(2){micro(2)-o-C(6)H(4)(CH(2)SMe)(2)}] and [(InCl(3))(2){micro(2)-MeTe(CH(2))(3)TeMe}] are formed even from a 1:1 In:ligand ratio. Key structure types were confirmed from crystal structures of [InCl(2){RSe(CH(2))(2)SeR}(micro-Cl)(2)InCl(2){RSe(CH(2))(2)SeR(2)}] (R = Me or (n)Bu), trans-[InX(2){(i)PrS(CH(2))(2)S(i)Pr}(2)][InX(4)] (X = Cl or Br), trans-[InBr(2){MeSe(CH(2))(2)SeMe}(2)][InBr(4)], cis-[InCl(2)([14]aneS(4))][InCl(4)] and [InBr(3)(Me(2)Se)]. The bulk complexes have been characterised by IR and Raman spectroscopy and microanalyses, while (1)H, (77)Se{(1)H} and (125)Te{(1)H} NMR spectroscopy show that the compounds are extremely labile in solution and undergo rapid dynamic exchange equilibria. Comparisons are drawn between these structurally rather diverse In(III) chalcogenoether complexes and the corresponding Ga(III) species (all of which are neutral and involve distorted tetrahedral coordination). The reaction of TlCl(3) with Me(2)E (E = Se or Te) shows that chlorination of Me(2)E rather than adduct formation occurs, while no reaction occurred between TlCl(3) and Me(2)S, consistent with Tl(III) being a very poor Lewis acid.
