Polysulfonylamines. CXX. Bis(tetrahydrothiophene‐S)gold(I) benzene‐1,2‐disulfonimidate

Both ions of the title compound, [Au(C₄H₈S)₂](C₆H₄NO₄S₂), display crystallographic twofold symmetry. The Au atom exhibits linear coordination, with Au—S = 2.2948 (14) Å and S—Au—S = 178.47 (9)°. The crystal packing consists of layers of anions connected by C—H?O hydrogen bonds; the cations occupy cavities in these layers and the ions are linked by Au?N contacts of 3.009 (7) Å. Further C—H?O interactions connect the layers.

Polysulfonylamines. CLXIV. Crystal Structures of Metal Di(methanesulfonyl)amides. 13. Dithallium Tris(dimesylamido‐N)argentate: A Two‐Dimensional Coordination Polymer The complex salt Tl₂[Ag{N(SO₂Me)₂}₃] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, Z′ = 1) was obtained by serendipity. Its layer structure displays two unprecedented characteristics, viz. one (MeSO₂)₂N^— ion that strongly deviates from the C₂‐symmetric standard conformation of this species and approximates to mirror symmetry, and a tris(dimesylamido)argentate anion featuring a trigonal‐planar AgN₃ core with Ag—N bond lengths of 225.6(6), 226.0(6), 236.3(6) pm and N—Ag—N angles in accordance with VSEPR concepts [149.8(2) vs. 102.8(2) and 107.3(2)°]. The independent thallium ions are coordinated by the complex anions to form monolayer substructures, in which Tl(1) attains an O₆ and Tl(2) an O₅ environment; the monolayers are associated into bilayers via one independent set of Tl(2)—O bonds that concomitantly raise the coordination number for Tl(2) to six. Both TlO₆ polyhedra may be viewed as extremely distorted octahedra reflecting the stereochemical activity of the 6s lone pair of electrons. The two‐dimensional Ag—N/Tl—O bonding system is reinforced by a three‐dimensional network of weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds.     

1,3(R):4,6(R)‐Di‐O‐benzyl­idene‐d‐mannitol

The title compound, C₂₀H₂₂O₆, has crystallographic twofold symmetry. The central six‐C‐atom chain has an extended conformation similar to that of d ‐mannitol, with two independent C—C—C—C torsion angles of 165.69 (14) and 177.60 (12)°. The 1,3‐dioxane ring has a chair conformation. All chiral centers have the R configuration.     

A fluoresceinophane: 19,4,16‐trioxa‐1(2,10)‐anthracena‐2(1,2)‐benzenacyclohexadecaphane‐17,3(19H)‐dione

A novel macrocycle containing fluorescein, the highly fluorescent title compound, C₃₁H₃₂O₅, has a xanthene core and a benzyl unit that are planar. The latter is rotated by 72.99 (3)° from the xanthene mean plane. The C₁₁ alkyl tether and the xanthene group adopt a cage‐like structure and the xanthene adopts a quinoid‐type configuration. The compound crystallizes as a racemic mixture with one molecule of each isomer per unit cell. Even though the planes described by the xanthene and the benzene rings of different molecules are separated by 3.341 (4) and 3.73 (1) Å, respectively, there is insufficient overlap between the aryl units to promote π‐stacking.
