title: Chloro(2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphinato)gallium(III).
abstract: The crystal structure of [Ga(C36H44N4)Cl].1.45CH2C(l)2 has been determined. Examination of the crystal established a two-molecule triclinic unit cell with space group P1. The asymmetric unit contains one porphyrin molecule and two solvate molecules, one as an approximate half molecule with required inversion symmetry. All measurements were made at 127(2) K. The average Ga-N distance is 2.035(4) A and the axial Ga-Cl distance 2.240(1) A. The displacement of the Ga atom from the N4 porphyrin plane is 0.40 A.
