The crystal and molecular structures of three derivatives of [( ⁵-C₅H₄Me)Fe(CO)(L)I] [L=2,6-Me₂C₆H₃NC, P(OMe)₃, and P(C₆H₁₁)₃] have been determined. [( ⁵-C₅H₄Me)Fe(CO)(CNC₆H₃Me₂-2,6)I] (1): Space groupP¯1,Z=2,a=13.193(7),b=8.183(5),c=7.465(4) Å,=95.13(5),=94.39(5), =91.09(5)°. [( ⁵-C₅H₄Me)Fe(CO)[P(OMe)₃]I] (2): Space groupP2₁/c,Z=4,a=7.296(3),b=24.471(6),c=8.877(3) Å,=111.92(4)°. [( ⁵-C₅H₄Me)Fe(CO)[P(C₆H₁₁)₃]I] (3): Space groupP2₁/c,Z=4,a=9.809(3),b=14.147(2),c=8.276(3) Å,=103.07(2)°. The structures were refined toR values of 0.045, 0.070, and 0.061, respectively. Disorder was observed in the P(OMe)₃ ligands on2. Structural data for1 and3 reveal (i) a small movement of the Fe atom away from the ringC atom containing the methyl group, (ii) a larger movement of ring C atoms away from the ring least-squares plane for3 than for1, and (iii) a shift toward an allyl-ene bond length variation in the ring distances for3. Molecular mechanics calculations performed on2 produce a low-energy conformation similar to that found in the crystal structure determination of2 with an energy barrier to ring rotation of ±5 kcal mol^–1. A correlation of the structural and molecular mechanics data with the nmr spectra of complexes1 to3 indicates that the steric influence ofL on the ring rotation could be due to ring distortion and/or interaction with the ring methyl group.

A new radical cation salt based on bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) with the tetrahedral anion GaCl ₄ ^? , namely, (BEDT-TTF)₄(GaCl₄)₂ · C₆H₅CH₃, has been synthesized.

Structures of three isomeric ring-brominated PEA β-blockers: [C13H21BrNO3]+·Cl−, [C13H21BrNO3]+·[CH3SO3]−, and [C13H21BrNO3]+·[C2HO4]−

The X-ray crystal structures of three-blockers of the phenylethanolamine (PEA) class have been determined by single crystal techniques. They are (I): (±)-2-(2-bromo-3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-N-isopropylethylamine hydrochloride; (II): (±)-2-(3-bromo-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-N-isopropylethylamine methylsulphonate; (III): (±)-2-(2-bromo-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-N-isopropylethylamine hydrogen oxalate. A conformational energy map of a partially hydrated model cation as a function of the principal torsion angles ₁ and ₂ shows the transperpendicular conformer (₁90°, ₂180°) to be the most stable. This conformation is adopted by cations of (II) and (III) in their crystals, but for (I), ₁=52.3(6)° is observed. Non-bonded pharmacophoric distances lie within the expected ranges.
