The title complex is asymmetric in the crystal due to the spatial orientation of the NCS function. The space group has been determined to be P21 with a = 9.496(3), b = 8.736(3), c = 9.676(3) Å, β = 117.859(5)°, and Z = 2. The solid state 13C NMR spectrum is consistent with the lack of symmetry in the crystal and there is little evidence for large amplitude motion in the macrocycle as determined from the dipolar dephased spectrum.Key words: macrocyclic crown ether, lithium complex.

The X-ray crystal structure of the title material has been determined and the results are compared to previous findings for benzo-9-crown-3 itself. The 13C NMR spectrum in solution has been unambiguously assigned using COSY and HETCOR methods. The solid phase 13C spectrum has been obtained and the 7, 10-d4 derivative has been examined to aid in spectral assignments.

The X-ray crystal structure of the title material indicates that the molecule possesses a pseudo-centre of inversion. A pair of O-C-C-O bonds have a trans conformation in contrast to normal gauche stereochemistry for such units in crown ethers. For the C-O-C-C networks, which are normally transoid in crown ethers, all four such units involving methylene carbons of the 20-membered ring exhibit unusual geometries. Two units possess gauche conformations and the other two have torsion angles near 120°. Solution 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been recorded as a function of temperature and 13C solid state spectra are included. Keywords: crown ether, solid state conformation.

Benzo-9-crown-3 ether trimerizes in the presence of FeCl3 and aqueous H2SO4 to produce tris(9-crown-3)triphenylene in 25.4% yield. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group: a = 13.759(2) Å, b = 13.318(2) Å, c = 13.399(2) Å, β = 96.883(2)°, with Z = 4. The three 9-crown-3 ether units of the trimer possess different geometries and there is substantial deviation from coplanarity in the three aromatic rings. 13C NMR chemical shifts in the solid state are consistent with this lack of symmetry and are discussed in terms of the X-ray crystal-structure data.Key words: crown ether, trimerization, stereochemistry.

By reaction of [B6H6]2- with chloroacetonitrile in dichloromethane the cyanomethylhexahy-dro-closo-hexaborate(1-), [B6H6(CH2CN)]- is formed. The com pound has been separated from excess [B6H6]2- by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The crystal structure of [P(C6H5)4][B6H6(CH2CN)] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.503(3), b = 12.0949(8), c = 14.6572(11) Å α = 79.399(6)°, β = 79.19(2)°, γ = 89.2(2)°. The 11B NMR spectrum is consistent with a mono hetero substituted octahedral B6 cage. In the 13C NMR spectrum of Cs2[B6H5(CH2CN)] a singlet at 131.9 ppm (CN) and a quartet at 2.97 ppm with 1J(C,B) = 54.7 Hz (CH2) are observed. The IR and Raman spectra exhibit a very strong CN stretching band at 2218 cm-1.

By reaction of [N(C4H9 )4]2 [B6H6] with iodomethyl-trimethylsilane in acetonitrile a solution with trimethylsilylm ethyl-closo-hexaborate(1-)anions, [B6H6 (CH2Si(CH3)3)]-, is formed. The crystal structure of [P(C6H5 )4][B6H6(CH2Si(CH3)3)] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 16.140(2), b = 11.646(8), c = 16.731(3) Å, β 109.664(11)°. The 11B NMR spectrum reveals features of a mono hetero substituted octahedral B6 cage. The 13C NMR spectrum exhibits a quartet at +0.18 ppm with 1J(C,H) = 118 Hz for the three methyl groups and a weak multiplet at -0.65 ppm for the methylene bridge due to quadrupole coupling with the boron atoms. In the 29Si NMR spectrum a decet at +2.25 ppm with 2J(C,H ) = 6.9 Hz is observed. The B -C stretching vibration is observed at 1155 cm-1 in the IR and Raman spectrum.

Reaction of [MI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-EtC2Et)2] (M = Mo,W) with one equivalent of 2,2' -bipyridine (bipy) in CH2C12 at room temperature gives either the neutral complex, [MoI2(CO)(bipy)- (η2-EtC2Et)] (1) or the cationic complex, [WI(CO)(bipy)(η2-EtC2Et)2]I (2). The neutral molybdenum complex 1, has been crystallographically characterised, and has a pseudo-octahedral geometry with the iodo-ligand trans to the 3-hexyne, and with the bipy, carbon monoxide and other iodo-ligand occupying the equatorial face. 13C NMR studies show the 3-hexyne is donating four electrons to the molybdenum in 1.
