The structure of IV as a monobenzene solvate is established by an X-ray analysis (black-green triclinic crystals space group P$\text{1}$ with a = 11.403(4), b = 14.933(5), c = 14.131(5) Å, α = 99.13(3), β = 112.72(3), γ = 95.65(3)°, V = 2201.6 Å, Z = 2; IV·C₆H₆). The structure was solved by direct methods and refined in an anisotropic approximation to R = 0.046, R_w = 0.058 for 7643 reflections with I ? 2σ(I). In the molecule of IV metal atoms are separated by non-bonding distances (Cr … Cr 4.079(I), Cr … Pd 3.230(I) and 3.380(I) Å) but linked by the bridging tridentate sulphur atom (CrS 2.339(2) and 2.329(2), PdS 2.327(2) Å), and two SCMe₃ groups between Pd and Cr (CrS 2.396(2) and 2.403(2), PdS 2.350(2) and 2.381(2) Å, Cr?Pd 85.14(6) and 89.92(6)°). The Cl atoms are transferred from Pd to Cr atoms (CrCl 2.308(2) Å) and being terminally coordinated are in trans-positions to each other (as well as η-CH₃C₅H₄ rings) with respect to the Cr₂Pd plane. Cr atoms in III and IV exhibit ferromagnetic exchange interactions over the Cr?Cr system (+2J = 28 and 11 cm^?1, respectively).     

The crystal structure of Cu4(PO4)2O

Cu₄(PO₄)₂O crystallizes in the space group $\text{P}\text{1}$ with a = 7.5393(8) Å, b = 8.1021(9) Å, c = 6.2764(8) Å, α = 113.65(1)°, β = 98.42(1)° and γ = 74.19(1)°. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques using automatic diffractometer data to R = 0.046 (R_w = 0.056). Four unique copper atoms are in six, five-, and four-coordinated polyhedra which are linked together to form a three-dimensional network. The structure is best described in terms of a cubic close-packed array of oxygen atoms with one-tenth of the possible anion sites vacant.
