The reaction of the [K(18-crown-6)(thf)2]1+ (thf is tetrahydrofuran) salt of bis(anthracene)ferrate(−1), or [Fe(C14H10)2]−, with 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (CNXyl) in thf resulted in the formation of two new iron isocyanide complexes, namely, [(1,2,3,4-η)-anthracene]tris(2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide)iron, [Fe(C14H10)(C9H9N)3] or [Fe(1,2,3,4-η-C14H10)(CNXyl)3], and {5,6-bis(2,6-dimethylanilino)-3-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1,2,7-tris[(2,6-dimethylphenyl)imino]-3-azoniahept-3-ene-1,4,7-triido}tris(2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide)iron tetrahydrofuran disolvate, [Fe(C54H56N6)(C9H9N)3]·2C4H8O or [Fe(C54H56N6)(CNXyl)3]·2C4H8O, which were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The former is likely an intermediate along the path to the known homoleptic [Fe(CNXyl)5], while the latter contains a tridentate ligand that is formed from the `coupling' of six CNXyl ligands. A third crystal structure from this reaction, (7-methylindol-1-ido-κN)(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane-κ6 O)potassium, [K(C9H8N)(C12H24O6)] or [K(C9H8N)(18-crown-6)], contains a 7-methylindol-1-ide anion, in which one CNXyl ligand has shed a proton during its reductive cyclization.

The crystal structures of [Cu(Pme3)4]X (X = Cl , Br, I) and of [M(PPh3)4] [PF6] (M = Cu, Ag) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K. The former compounds contain nearly tetrahedral [Cu(PMe3)4]+ ions on sites of m symmetry with mean Cu-P bond lengths of 2.270, 2.271 and 2.278 Ǻ for X = Cl , Br and I respectively. The latter compounds contain [M(PPh3)4]+ ions on sites of 3 symmetry. In the M =Ag complex the coordination environment is close to tetrahedral, but in the M =Cu complex the length of the axial Cu-P bond [2.465(2)Ǻ] is significantly shorter than that of the off-axis bonds [2.566(2)Ǻ]. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

Hitherto, phosphorus oxonitride (PON) could not be obtained in the form of single crystals and only powder diffraction experiments were feasible for structure studies. In the present work we have synthesized two polymorphs of phosphorus oxonitride, cristobalite-type (cri-PON) and coesite-type (coe-PON), in the form of single crystals and reinvestigated their crystal structures by means of in house and synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures ofcri-PON andcoe-PON are built from PO2N2tetrahedral units, each with a statistical distribution of oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The crystal structure of thecoe-PON phase has the space groupC2/cwith seven atomic sites in the asymmetric unit [two P and three (N,O) sites on general positions, one (N,O) site on an inversion centre and one (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis], while thecri-PON phase possesses tetragonalI-42dsymmetry with two independent atoms in the asymmetric unit [the P atom on a fourfold inversion axis and the (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis]. In comparison with previous structure determinations from powder data, all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, leading to higher precision in terms of bond lengths and angles.

Petzite, Ag3AuTe2, crystallizes in the space group I4132, which is a Sohncke type of space group where chiral crystal structures can occur. The structure refinement of petzite reported long ago [Frueh (1959). Am. Mineral. 44, 693–701] did not provide any information about the absolute structure. A new single-crystal X-ray diffraction refinement has now been performed on a sample from Lake View Mine, Golden Mile, Kalgoorlie, Australia, which has resulted in a reliable absolute structure [a Flack parameter of 0.05 (3)], although this corresponds to the opposite enantiomorph reported previously. The minimum Te–Te distance is 3.767 (3) Å, slightly shorter than the van der Waals bonding distance, which suggests a weak interaction between the two chalcogens. XANES spectra near the Au and Te L III edges suggest that the chemical-bonding character of Au in petzite is more metallic than in other gold minerals.

The crystal structures of the title compounds, [Ni(OH2)4(en)] [SO4].2H2O, (1), and [Ni(OH2)4(bpy)]- [SO4].2H2O, (2), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by full matrix least-squares methods to residuals of 0.028,0.031 for 1852, 4323 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, C2/c, a 9.459(4), b 12.192(7), c 12.294(3) �, β 119.84(4)�, Z 4. In the cation, Ni-N is 2.061(2) �; Ni-O (trans to O, N respectively) are 2.106(2), 2.063(2) �. Instead of being enlarged above 90� as predicted from repulsion theory, the angle between the pair of oxygen atoms trans to nitrogen is diminished, being 87 14(7)�. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 11.476(5), b 9.351(5), c 7.793(4) �, α 77.63(4), β 83.52(3), γ87.40(4)�, Z 2. In the cation, Ni-N are both 2.063(2) �. Ni-O (trans to N, O respectively) are 2.060(2), 2.O42(2); 2.O80(2), 2�. The short Ni-O distance [2.042(2)�] is associated with the coordination of a trigonal water molecule.

The 9-methylanthracene photodimer (6) and lepidopterene (7) were prepared by a photo-dimerisation reaction of 1-(9-anthracenylmethyl)-3-ethylimidazolium iodide (1) or α, α'-di[1-(9-anthracenylmethyl) imidazolium]- p-xylene dibromide (2). Compound 6 is derived from the head-tail [4+4] cycloaddition of two molecular 9-methylanthracenes, and the butterfly-shaped compound 7 is formed via the 9-methyleneanthracene radical in a two steps precess. The single crystal structure of 6 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The changes of luminescent intensities of compounds 1, 2 and 7 are reported.

Abstract The molecular and crystal structures of the isotypic compounds tetramethyldiphosphane 1 and -diarsane 2 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (monoclinic; C2/m; Z = 2; 1/2: -155/-144 °C\a = 540.6(2)/555.8(2); b = 1131.0(6)/l 136.7(6); c -602.5(2)/612.8(2) pm;β = 97.31(3)/95.24(3)°;P-P 221.2(1)/As-As 242.9(1) pm). In accordance with the crystallographically imposed symmetry 2/m, the molecules adopt antiperiplanar conformation. Their crystal structures are closely related to those of the homologues tetramethyldistibane 3 [1] and -dibismuthane 4 [3]. As found for the latter compounds, the E -E units (E = P, As) are also aligned in linear chains, but the intermolecular E···E contacts (P···P 381/As···As 370 pm) do not allow any extended interaction between molecules, which otherwise would result in thermochromic effects.

AbstractTwo compounds in the Sc-Co-In system were obtained by arc-melting of the pure metals and their crystal structures have been determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structure of Sc3Co1.64In4 (space group P6̅, а=7.6702(5), c=3.3595(2) Å, Z=1, R1=0.0160, wR2=0.0301) belongs to the Lu3Co2−xIn4 type structure, which is closely related to the ZrNiAl and Lu3CoGa5 types. The structure of Sc10Co9In20 (space group P4/nmm, а=12.8331(1), c=9.0226(1) Å, Z=2, R1=0.0203, wR2=0.0465) belongs to the Ho10Ni9In20 type, which is closely related to HfNiGa2.

We report the syntheses and characterization of three solution-processable phenoxy silicon phthalocyanines (SiPcs), namely bis(3-methylphenoxy)(phthalocyanine)silicon [(3MP)2-SiPc], C46H30N8O2Si, bis(2-sec-butylphenoxy)(phthalocyanine)silicon [(2secBP)2-SiPc], C44H24I2N8O2Si, and bis(3-iodophenoxy)(phthalocyanine)silicon [(3IP)2-SiPc], C52H42N8O2Si. Crystals grown of these compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the π–π interactions between the aromatic SiPc cores were studied. It was determined that (3MP)2-SiPc has similar interactions to previously reported bis(3,4,5-trifluorophenoxy)silicon phthalocyanines [(345 F)2-SiPc] with significant π–π interactions between the SiPc groups. (3IP)2-SiPc and (2secBP)2-SiPc both experienced a parallel stacking of two of the peripheral aromatic groups. In all three cases, the solubility of these molecules was increased by the addition of phenoxy groups while maintaining π–π interactions between the aromatic SiPc groups. The solubility of (2secBP)2-SiPc was significantly higher than other bis-phenoxy-SiPcs and this was exemplified by the higher observed disorder within the crystal structure.

The title compounds were synthesized and their crystal structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Both compounds crystallize with the cubic space group Im3̄̅. Yb(Zn,Al)∽6: a = 14.299(4) Å , wR(F2) = 0.041, with Yb25.39(2)Zn138.2(3)Al7.7(3) as the refined composition; YbZn∽6: a = 14.298(4) Å , wR(F2) = 0.079, with Yb25.05(3)Zn146.83(9) as the refined composition. Their crystal structures are closely related to the YCd6 type, with two different details: Zn/Al (or Zn) atoms in the 8c sites center the cubic interstices of the structure; the pentagonal dodecahedron cavities are partially filled by ytterbium atoms in the 2a sites, with an environment topologically similar to that found in the clathrate-I compounds. Magnetic properties of the two compounds are also reported.

In a refluxing chloroform solution, the η1-pyrimidinyl {pyrimidinyl = C4H3N2} palladium complex [Pd(PPh3)2(η1-C4H3N2)(Br)], 1 exhibited intermolecular displacement of two triphenylphosphine ligands to form the doubly bridged η2-pyrimidinyl Dipalladium complex [Pd(PPh3)(Br)]2(μ,η2-C4H3N2)2, 3. The treatment of 1 with Hdppa {Hdppa = N,N-bisdiphenyl phosphinoamine} in refluxing dichloromethane yielded the doubly bridged Hdppa dipalladium complex [Pd(Br)]2(μ,η2-Hdppa)2, 4. Complex 1 reacted with the bidentate ligand, NH4S2CNC4H8 and, NaS2COEt, and the tridentate ligand, KTp {Tp = tris(pyrazoyl-1-yl)borate}, to form the η2-dithio η1-pyrimidinyl complex [Pd(PPh3)(η1-C4H3N2)(η2-SS)], (5: SS = S2CNC4H8; 6: SS = S2COEt) and η2-Tp η1-pyrimidinyl complex [Pd(PPh3)(η1-C4H3N2)(η2-Tp)], 7, respectively. Treatment of 1 with AgBF4 in acetonitrile at room temperature resulted in the formation of the doubly bridged η2-pyrimidinyl dipalladium complex [{Pd(PPh3)(CH3CN)}2(μ,η2-C4H3N2)2][BF4]2, 8. All of the complexes were identified using spectroscopic methods, and complexes 3, 4, and 8 were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.
