discussed in section 5.2.2. As the solvent w<strong>as</strong> removed rather quickly, the crystals that<br />

were formed were not very good quality <strong>and</strong> resulted in a highly disordered structure.<br />

The tetrahedral tetrachlorogallate anion w<strong>as</strong> found to have three-fold disorder modeled<br />

according to the ORTEP depiction in Figure 5-5 <strong>and</strong> contains elongated ellipsoids for the<br />

chlorine atoms. In addition, the cation w<strong>as</strong> found to be incommensurate. As a<br />

consequence, the R value w<strong>as</strong> only able to be minimized to 12.06%.<br />

With such a large R value there w<strong>as</strong> some doubt c<strong>as</strong>t on the nature of the compound<br />

isolated. It should however be noted that the substituent w<strong>as</strong> confirmed by EI/MS to be a<br />

chlorine atom from the chloride salt (V-3) <strong>and</strong> from the gallate salt (V-4) both giving an<br />

m/z of 245.9 <strong>and</strong> the isotopic distribution anticipated for one chlorine atom.<br />

In addition to the target tetrachlorogallate salt, another compound w<strong>as</strong> identified<br />

from the same crystalline sample investigated (V-6).<br />

This compound w<strong>as</strong> also a<br />
