Multinuclear Beryllium Chloro Carboxylates
Reaction of 1 equiv of BeCl<sub>2</sub> with mesityl (Mes) or <i>o</i>-tolyl (<i>o</i>-Tol) carboxylic acid in benzene gives hexanuclear heterocyles [BeCl(MesCO<sub>2</sub>)]<sub>6</sub> and [BeCl(<i>o</i>-TolCO<sub>2</sub>)]<sub>6</sub>, respectively. Small amounts of the oxocarboxylates [Be<sub>4</sub>O(MesCO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>6</sub>] and [Be<sub>4</sub>O(<i>o</i>-TolCO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>6</sub>] are also formed. If chloroform is used as the solvent, a mixture of these complexes together with the unprecedented tertranuclear cage compounds [Be<sub>4</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>(MesCO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>6</sub>] and [Be<sub>4</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>(<i>o</i>-TolCO<sub>2</sub>)<sub>6</sub>] is obtained.
