Summary. The title compound, a new example of an inorganic ester-like complex, was characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic methods. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, a = 9.413(2), b = 10.595(3), c = 11.783(2) A, alpha = 103.59(2), beta = 101.98(2), gamma = 99.40(2)º, Z = 2. The structure was solved employing 2902 independent reflections with I > 2sigma(I) by direct and Fourier methods and refined by a full-matrix least-squares ®t to R1 . 0:049. Infrared and Raman spectra of the solid compound and the electronic absorption spectra of its acetonitrilic and ethanolic solutions were recorded and are briefly discussed.
