The reactions of the hydrated Group 13 fluorides, MF3 center dot 3H(2)O (M = Al, Ga or In) with 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridyl, 2,2'-bipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline under hydrothermal conditions (180 degrees C/15 h) produced high yields of the complexes [MF3(terpy)]center dot 3H(2)O, [MF3(bipy)(OH2)]center dot 2H(2)O and [MF3(phen)(OH2)]. X-Ray crystal structures of [M'F-3(terpy)]center dot 3H(2)O (M' = Al or Ga), [M'F-3(bipy)(OH2)]center dot 2H(2)O and [GaF3(phen)(OH2)] show that all of them contain distorted octahedral geometries at the metal with mer-trifluoride coordination. Extensive H-bonding (F center dot center dot center dot H-OH) links the molecules. The complexes have been further characterised by microanalysis, IR, H-1, F-19{H-1} and Al-27 NMR spectroscopy. In contrast, reactions of the trifluorides with the acyclic triamine, N,N,N',N',N '''-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine, under similar hydrothermal conditions results in cleavage of the triamine and ring-closure to form the 1,1,4-trimethylpiperazinium cation, [subset of Me2N-(CH2)(2)NMe-(CH2)(2)](+), with fluorometallate anions, and confirmed by X-ray analysis of [subset of Me2N(CH2)(2)NMe-(CH2)(2)](2)[Al2F8(OH2)(2)]center dot 2H(2)O. The strongly H-bonded [GaF3(terpy)]center dot 3H(2)O was also obtained by Cl/F exchange from [GaCl3(terpy)] and [NBu4] F or [K(2,2,2-crypt)] F. Crystallisation of a mixture of [NH4][PF6] and [GaF3(terpy)]center dot 3H(2)O from aqueous solution produced the edge-bridged cationic complex, [{Ga(terpy) F}(2)-(mu-F)(2)][PF6](2). The synthesis of the more sterically bulky [GaCl3(Bu-t(3)-terpy)] (Bu-t(3)-terpy = 4,4' 4 ''-tris-Bu-t-2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridyl) and the crystal structure of [GaCl2(Bu-t(3)-terpy)][GaCl4], which contains a trigonal bipyramidal cation, are also reported.
