Reaction of the Zn, Cd, or Co nitrate salts with the deprotonated ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (L1O^–) in methanol produced the following complexes: [(L1OH)Zn(NO₃)₂] in two isomorphs, a = 40.983(8) Å, b = 9.571(2) Å, c = 15.667(8) Å, = 90, = 106.38(1), = 90, C2/c, and a = 13.027(3) Å, b = 14.781(4) Å, c = 16.107(3) Å, = 90, = 105.30(1), = 90, P2₁/n; [(L1OH)Cd(pz)(NO₃)₂] a = 14.7476(2) Å, b = 13.5411(2) Å, c = 16.7223(2) Å, = 90, = 110.3840(10), = 90, P2₁/c; and [(L1O)Co(pz)(NO₃)] a = 11.4240(2) Å, b = 13.4498(2) Å, c = 13.8056(2) Å, = 105.2080(10), = 105.8130(10), = 112.7470(10), P . The Zn adopts a pseudotetrahedral four-coordinate geometry where the potentially tridentate ligand is actually bidentate with a protonated and uncoordinated phenoxy arm. The Co complex is pseudooctahedral six-coordinate where the phenoxy arm is deprotonated and coordinated. Finally the Cd complex is seven-coordinate but the metal is not coordinated through the phenoxy group that is again protonated.

The structure of Fe[C₅H₄CH₂OCH₂C(pz)₃]₂ (pz = pyrazolyl ring) contains 1.5 independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. One molecule has no imposed symmetry with the iron atom located on a general position while in the other the iron atom is located on an inversion center.

Complexes of azobisindoles with π-organic acceptors

Complexes of azobisindoles with tetracyanoethylene and tetracyanoquinodimethane were studied by UV-Vis, FT-IR, Raman, NMR and X-ray spectroscopies. FT-IR and Raman spectra, as well as X-ray analysis, gave useful information on the participation of various sites to the association, through analysis of CN and N=N vibrational modes, while UV-Vis and NMR spectra were less helpful. The crystal structure of complexes 1-ethyl-2-phenyl-3-(1-ethyl-2-phenyl-3-azoindole)indole/TCNE,3a and 1,2-diphenyl-3-(1,2-diphenyl-3-azoindole)indole/TCNQ,5b are reported. In the two complexes, the distances between donor and acceptor planes range between 3.4 and 3.5 Å; in3a tetracyanoethylene faces the phenyl ring of the indole, while in5b the superposition of tetracyanoquinodimethane with the donor is negligible.

Synthesis and structure of tris(N-methylaminoethanoldithiocarbamato)arsenic(III)

The title compound was synthesized by the interaction of arsenic(III)chloride with freshly prepared N-methylaminoethanoldithiocarbamic acid in methanol. The compound crystallized in the triclinic system, space groupP with two molecules per unit cell, the dimensions area=6.509(10)Å,b=14.077(3)Å,c=14.195(3)Å, =64.16(2)^o, =84.67(2)^o and =84.00(2)^o. The molecule is monomeric with three short (mean 2.320(3)Å) and three long (mean 2.927(2)Å) As-S bonds. Asymmetry in the As-S bonds is due to the presence of stereochemically active lone pair on arsenic and the coordination polyhedron deviates from the usual D₃ symmetry to C₃ symmetry. Disorder exists in one of the dithiocarbamate ligands probably due to the O...O interaction arising from the water molecule. The anisobidenticity of the As-S bond distances is as a consequence of stereochemical requirement of the ligand and the lone pair of electrons on arsenic.

4- and 5-nitroindane

Mononitration of indane produces a mixture of 4- and 5- nitroindanes. Crystallization from mixtures occurs after distillation improves composition of a major component to above 80%. 4-Nitroindane: triclinic, space group (#2),a=7.332(4) Å,b=8.304(4) Å,c=8.358(4) Å, =61.43(4)°, =67.60(4)°, =70.15(4)°,V=405.4(4) ų,Z=2.

Non-H-atoms in the two molecules differ in torsion of the nitro group with respect to indane and fold of the nonbenzylic methylene group. Semiempirical calculations (PM3) suggest that distorsion from planarity may be associated with the two lowest energy vibrational modes. Uv, ir, ms, proton, and¹³C-nmr spectra are correlated with the solid state structures.

The reaction betweencis-Ru(bpy)₂Cl₂ (where bpy=bipyridine) and the diphosphine ligand 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) in the presence of AgBF₄ has led to the isolation of the title compound [Ag(dppf)Cl]₂.

Crystal and molecular structure of tris-(O-isopropylxanthato)-chromium(III)

The environment of the chromium atom is based on an octahedral geometry having six sulfur donor atoms from three symmetrically chelated ligands with average distances: Cr-S=2.396(9) Å, C-S=1.690(3) Å and C-O=1.315(3) Å. The bond distance between oxygen atom and the carbon atom of the isopropyl group (O-C_av=1.478(4) Å) suggests that the form –S ₂ ^(–) C=O⁽⁺⁾CH(CH₃)₂ contributes significantly to the structure of the isopropyl group.
