The compound ArIn[Co(CO)4]2 (Ar=C6H3[CH2N(CH3)2]2)
has a straightforward crystal structure that proceeds readily from the initial structure solution. This
is in marked contrast to the structure of its companion ArGa[Co(CO)4]2 which
shows two-fold disorder of the central gallium. The larger In3+ center provides
a better fit to the central cavity than the smaller Ga3+ ion thus preventing the disorder that
arises in the latter.
