Low-temperature X-ray crystal structures were determined on a range of derivatives of 4-thiacyclohexanol 5a of varying electron demand with a view to finding evidence for a through-bond interaction between the sulfur lone pair and the oxygenated substituent. In contrast to earlier suggestions, plots of C–OR bond distance versus pKa (ROH) showed that any interaction between the sulfur and the OR group is unlikely to be of a through-bond origin. Furthermore, unimolecular solvolysis rate measurements on the nosylate ester derivative 5g showed that the sulfur actually retards the reaction slightly in comparison with the corresponding sulfur-free analogue 6.

Electron Donor Ability

Eight ester and ether derivatives of propargyl alcohol with varying electron demand were structurally characterised using low temperature X-ray crystallography, these were combined with seven derivatives obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database. Variable oxygen probe analysis of these derivatives provided evidence that the ethynyl substituent is a relatively weak π-electron donor, and is a slightly less effective donor than the C–C bond of an ethyl substituent.

The structure of the low-temperature polar (orthorhombic) phase of russellite (Bi2WO6) was examined on artificial specimens with precise single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The final atomic arrangement thus obtained was identical to that reported by Knight [Miner. Mag. (1992), 56, 399–409] with powder neutron diffraction. The residual density attributable to a stereochemically-active lone pair of electrons of bismuth was prominent at approximately the centre of a larger cap of BiO8 square antiprisms, that is on the line from the Bi sites to an adjacent WO4 2− slab along the b-axis direction. Quite uneven Bi—O distances and the formation of a vacant coordination hemisphere (within 3 Å) should, therefore, be ascribed to the strong demand of bismuth to form shorter Bi—O bonds to use up its electrostatic charge within its coordination environment. The shift of bismuth along −c propagates via the correlated shift of the W site and these cooperative shifts cause ferroelectricity in the compound. This propagation was easily effected by the intrusion of molecules such as acetone into the structure.

Intermolecular Contacts

The compounds (H3C)2S, (H3Si)2S and (H3Ge)2S have been crystallised in situ on a diffractometer and their crystal structures determined by low-temperature X-ray diffraction. The molecules are present as monomers in the crystals. The aggregation of the molecules through secondary intermolecular contacts in the crystal is different: (H3C)2S is weakly associated into dimers by S···S contacts, whereas (H3Si)2S and (H3Ge)2S form Si···S and Ge···S contacts in an ice-analogous aggregation motif. Important geometry parameters are (H3C)2S: C-S 1.794(av) Å , C-S-C 99.2(1)°; (H3Si)2S: Si- S 2.143(1) Å , Si-S-Si 98.4°; (H3Ge)2S Ge-S 2.223(2) and 2.230(2) Å , Ge-S-Ge 98.2(1)◦.

AbstractThe compounds (Pn4P)4Sb8I28 (1) and (Ph4P)Sb3I10 (2) were prepared by the reaction of SbI3 and Ph4PI in acetonitrile (molar ratios 2:1 and 3:1 respectively). The structures of 1 and 2 were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data.1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a - 1321.7(5). b = 1346.7(5), c = 2201.8(8) pm, α = 104.18(2). β = 99.92(2), γ = 100.33(2)°; 2: monoclinic, C2/c, a = 2371.1(2), b = 745.0(1), c = 2495.1(2) pm, β = 100.75(1)°.Whereas 1 exhibits isolated Sb8I284- ions, the anions of 2 are built up of polymeric chains [Sb3I10- ]∞. In both compounds the distorted Sbl6 octahedra are linked by common edges. The Sb-I distances are in the range between 277.4 and 354.8 pm (1) and between 277.4 and 342.4 pm (2). The observed structures do not only depend on stoichiometry, the nature of the counter cations, and the possibility of oligomerisation but also on the wide variety of the Sb-I bond strengths and the different bridges formed by iodine.The lone pair of Sb(III) seems to be predominantly 5 s2.

The flavonoid Oroxylin A (6-methoxychrysin or 5,7-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one, C16H12O5) and its regioisomers are of increasing interest for a variety of bioactive functions and their pharmaceutical formulation is of importance. Previous difficulties in the separation and misidentification of Oroxylin A from its regioisomers Wogonin (8-methoxychrysin or 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one) and Negletein (5,6-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavone or 5,6-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one) render its full structural and powder X-ray characterization highly desirable. The low-temperature (100 K) crystal structures of Oroxylin A, Negletein and Wogonin sesquihydrate are reported for the first time. Wogonin crystallizes in two related but distinct hydrated forms. These have very similar powder diffractograms, indicating that such issues need to be addressed for its pharmaceutical formulation.
