Diamagnetic [Ni(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] compound (I) in ethanol reacts with 2,2"-bipyridine or pyrazine to give the paramagnetic complexes [Ni(2,2"-Bipy)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] (II), [Ni(Pz)₂(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] (III), and [Ni(Pz)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] _n (IV) (_eff= 2.91–3.12 _B). Single crystals of IIwere grown for X-ray diffraction study. The crystals are monoclinic, a= 14.669(3) Å, b= 19.693(4) Å, c= 12.155(2) Å, = 107.51(3)°, V= 3348(1) ų, Z= 4; _calcd= 1.257 g/cm³, space group P2₁/c. The structure is built from monomeric molecules. The coordination polyhedron of the Ni atom is a distorted octahedron formed by four S atoms of two bidentate chelating i-Bu₂PS^– ₂ligands and by two N atoms of bidentate cyclic 2,2"-Bipy. Preliminary data for complexes IIIand IVindicate that they also contain an octahedral NiN₂S₄fragment.

The paramagnetic compounds [Ni₂(HMTA)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₄] (I) and [Ni₂(TEDA)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₄] (II) (_eff = 3.11 and 3.23 _B, respectively) were synthesized by reacting diamagnetic Ni(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂ with hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) and triethylenediamine (TEDA) in ethanol. The crystal structure of I was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (CAD4 diffractometer, MoK radiation, 1483 F _hkl, R = 0.0648).

The structure is built of discrete binuclear molecules. The coordination polyhedron of the Ni atom is a distorted tetragonal pyramid with four S atoms of two bidentate cyclic ligands i-Bu₂PS₂ ^– in the base and the N atom of the bidentate bridging ligand HMTA at the axial vertex. Complexes I and II have similar electronic reflection spectra, which agrees with the C _4v symmetry of the ligand field.

Copper(I) Complexes with N-Allylquinolinium Bromide [C9H7N(C3H5)]CuBr2 and [C9H7N(C3H5)]Cu2Br3: Synthesis and Crystal Structure

Crystals of [₉₇N(₃₅)]uBr₂ (IV) and [₉₇N(₃₅)][u₂Br₃] (V) were prepared by ac electrochemical synthesis from uBr₂, N-allylquinolinium bromide, on copper electrodes in the ethanol–benzene medium. X-ray diffraction study has shown that crystals IV and V are monoclinic: space group A2₁/a, a = 13.776(3) Å, b = 14.304(3) Å, c = 13.147(2) Å, = 107.90(1) Å, V = 2465(2) ų, Z = 8 for IV and space group P2₁/n, a = 13.881(2) Å, b = 15.446(2) Å, c = 7.111(1) Å, = 104.64(1)°, V = 1475.0(8) ų, Z = 4 for V. Structures IV and V are built of the N-allylquinolinium cations and different anions i.e., (CuBr₂) ^n- _n forming infinite chains in IV and peculiar {[Cu^I ₄Br₆]^2–} _n arranged in polymeric chains in V. In the latter case, two independent metal atoms have trigonal–pyramidal and trigonal–planar environments.

The synthesis and structural analysis of Pt2Ru4(CO)18 and the products obtained from its reactions with 1, 2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane

From the reaction of Ru(CO)₅ and Pt(COD)₂, COD = 1, 5-cyclooctadiene, the new platinum-ruthenium heteronuclear cluster complex Pt₂Ru₄(CO)₁₈,1, was obtained in 60% yield.1 has a folded ladder-like structure with alternating pairs of ruthenium atoms and platinum atoms. The cluster of1 can be split to yield the known compound PtRu₂(CO)₈(²-dppe),2, (54% yield) by reaction with 1, 2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, dppe, at 25°C. When1 was treated with excess dppe at 40°C, thebis-diphos compound3, PtRu₂(CO)₆(-²-dppe)₂ was obtained (39% yield). Under the similar reaction conditions,2 was converted to3 in 44% yield. All these complexes were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Compounds2 and3 both contain a triangular cluster of one platinum and two ruthenium atoms, but in2 the bidentate ligand, dppe, chelates the platinum atom and in3 the two dppe ligands bridge the two Pt-Ru metal-metal bonds. Crystal data for1: space group C2/c,a=12.542(2)Å,b=15.350(4)Å,c=15.252(3)Å, =105.32(2)°,Z=4, 2192 reflections,R=0.025.

Crystalline complexes of N,N'-ditritylurea (DTU) and N-tritylurea (NTU) hosts with molecular guests

This paper reports crystalline complexes of the new hosts N,N'-ditritylurea (DTU) and N-tritylurea (NTU) with various uncharged molecular guests. The crystal structures of the following complexes were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 115^oK: (I) 1:1 DTU-propanamide — space group C2/c, a=15.839Å, b=9.088Å, c=24.584Å, =111.05^o, Z=4; (II) 1:1 DTU-ethyl N-acetylglycinate — space group P1, a=9.010Å, b=10.800Å, c=19.810 Å, =105.29^o =94.33^o, =93.03^o, Z=2; (III) 2:1 NTU-N, N-dimethylformamide — space group Cc, a=29.614Å, b=8.906Å, c=16.127Å, =121.04^o, Z=4. The three crystal structures are stabilized mainly by a cooperative effect of hydrogen bonding between amide fragments displaced along the shortest axis of each crystal. This interaction occurs between host and guest in complexes I and II, and between host and host in complex III. The latter also represents a cage-type clathrate in which the guest molecules are accommodated in voids between the hydrophobic fragments of four neighboring NTU hosts. On the other hand, complexes of DTU are characterized by a more specific interaction between the two components, each guest molecule being inserted between two adjacent hosts (related by translation) and strongly bound to them via hydrogen bridges. These results illustrate a useful concept in the design of molecular species which can be potential hosts upon crystallization with neutral molecular guests.

On the crystal chemistry of three copper(II)-arsenates: Cu3(AsO4)2-III,Na4Cu(AsO4)2, and KCu4(AsO4)3

The three copper(II)-arsenates were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions; their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a=5.046(2) Å,b=5.417(2) Å,c=6.354(2) Å, =70.61(2)°, =86.52(2)°, =68.43(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.035 for 1674 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a=4.882(2) Å,b=5.870(2) Å,c=6.958(3) Å, =98.51(2)°, =90.76(2)°, =105.97(2)°,Z=1, space group ,R=0.028 for 2157 reflections with sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a=12.234(5) Å,b=12.438(5) Å,c=7.307(3) Å, =118.17(2)°,Z=4, space group C2/c,R=0.029 for 1896 reflections with sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Within these three compounds the Cu atoms are square planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4+1], and tetragonal bipyramidal [4+2] coordinated by O atoms; an exception is the Cu(2)^[4+1] atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: the coordination polyhedron is a representative for the transition from a tetragonal pyramid towards a trigonal bipyramid. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ the Cu(1)^[4]O₄ square and the As(1)O₄ tetrahedron share a common O—O edge of 2.428(5) Å, resulting in distortions of both the CuO₄ square and the AsO₄ tetrahedron. The two Na atoms in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂ are [6] coordinated, the K atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ is [8] coordinated by O atoms.Die drei Kupfer(II)-Arsenate wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen gezüchtet und ihre Kristallstrukturen mittels Einkristall-Röntgenbeugungsmethoden ermittelt:Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III:a = 5.046(2) Å,b = 5.417(2) Å,c = 6.354(2) Å, = 70.61 (2)°, = 86.52(2)°, = 68.43(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.035 für 1674 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₂:a = 4.882(2) Å,b = 5.870(2) Å,c = 6.958(3) Å, = 98.51(2)°, = 90.76(2)°, = 105.97(2)°,Z = 1, Raumgruppe ,R = 0.028 für 2157 Reflexe mit sin / 0.90 Å^–1.KCu₄(AsO₄)₃:a = 12.234(5) Å,b = 12.438(5) Å,c = 7.307(3) Å, = 118.17(2)°,Z = 4, Raumgruppe C2/c,R = 0.029 für 1896 Reflexe mit sin / 0.80 Å^–1.Die Cu-Atome in diesen drei Verbindungen sind durch O-Atome quadratisch planar [4], tetragonal pyramidal [4 + 1] und tetragonal dipyramidal [4 + 2]-koordiniert; eine Ausnahme ist das Cu(2)^{[4 + 1]}-Atom in Cu₃(AsO₄)₂-III: Das Koordinationspolyeder stellt einen Vertreter des Übergangs von einer tetragonalen Pyramide zu einer trigonalen Dipyramide dar. In KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ haben das Cu(1)^[4]O₄-Quadrat und das As(1)O₄-Tetraeder eine gemeinsame O—O-Kante von 2.428(5) Å, was eine Verzerrung der beiden Koordinationsfiguren CuO₄-Quadrat und AsO₄-Tetraeder bedingt. Die zwei Na-Atome in Na₄Cu(AsO₄)₃ sind durch O-Atome [6]-koordiniert, das K-Atom in KCu₄(AsO₄)₃ ist [8]-koordiniert.

Hydrogen positions could be determined from differenceFourier syntheses. Strong weakening of some intense low order reflections by extinction was observed, their anisotropy depends on the crystal and on temperature.

Crystals of PbCu₃(OH)(NO₃)(SeO₃)₃·1/2H₂O [a=7.761(3)Å,b=9.478(4)Å,c=9.514(4)Å, =66.94(2)°, =69.83(2)°, =81.83(2)°, space group P ,Z=2] and Pb₂Cu₃O₂(NO₃)₂(SeO₃)₂ [a=5.884(2)Å,b=12.186(3)Å,c=19.371(4)Å, space group Cmc2₁,Z=4] were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Their crystal structures were refined with three-dimensional X-ray data toR _w=0.033 resp. 0.055. In PbCu₃(OH)(NO₃)(SeO₃)₃·1/2H₂O the Cu atoms are [4+1] and [4+2] coordinated and via SeO₃ groups a three-dimensional atomic arrangement is built up. In Pb₂Cu₃O₂(NO₃)₂(SeO₃)₂ there are sheets, which are connected only via Pb-O bonds ranging from 2.98 Å to 3.16 Å.

     

Neutral molecule/crown ether interactions 5. Comparison of the C−H acidic interactions of nitromethane and acetonitrile with 18-crown-6 and dibenzo-18-crown-6. Crystal structures of dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH3NO2 and dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH3CN

Complete structural characterization of dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH₃NO₂ and dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH₃CN have been carried out, including location and refinement of the methyl hydrogen atoms. Dibenzo-18-crown-6·2 CH₃NO₂ is monoclinic,P2₁/c, with (at –150°C)a=9.573(2),b=14.636(2),c=33.471(7) Å, =93.77(2)°, andD _calc=1.37 g cm^–3 forZ=8. Interactions between the solvent methyl groups and the crown ethers and other solvent nitro groups associate the 1 : 2 complexes into polymeric chains alongb. The acetonitrile adduct exists as discreet 1 : 2 complexes in the solid state with C–H...O interactions exlusively to the ether. This complex is triclinic,P 1, with (at –150°C)a=9.458(6),b=9.570(5),c=14.404(5) Å, =73.18(4), =79.85(5), =66.82(6)°, andD _calc=1.28 g cm^–3 forZ=2.

Synthesis and crystal structure of monoclinic Fe2(SeO4)3

Summary Crystals of monoclinic Fe₂(SeO₄)₃ were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The structure was determined by single crystal X-ray methods and refined in space group P2₁/n with 2 646 independent reflections (sin /<0.7 Å^–1) toR=0.033,R _w=0.037:a=8.530 (2) Å,b=8.888 (2) Å,c=11.952 (2) Å, =91.13 (1)°,V=906.0 ų,Z=4. The crystal structure is isotypic with the monoclinic modification of Fe₂(SO₄)₃, containing two different Fe(III) and three Se(VI) atomic positions. The FeO₆ and SeO₄ polyhedra are only slightly distorted, the mean Fe-O bond lengths are 1.986 Å and 2.004 Å, the average distances within the SeO₄ tetrahedra are each 1.628 Å. The isolated FeO₆ octahedra only share corners with SeO₄ tetrahedra to build a framework structure.

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von monoklinem Fe₂(SeO₄)₃

Zusammenfassung Kristalle von monoklinem Fe₂(SeO₄)₃ wurden unter Hydrothermalbedingungen gezüchtet. Die Struktur wurde mit Einkristall-Röntgenmethoden bestimmt und in der Raumgruppe P2₁/n mit 2 646 unabhängigen Reflexen (sin /<0.7Å^–1) aufR=0.033,R _w=0.037 verfeinert:a=8.530(2) Å,b=8.888(2) Å,c=11.952(2) Å, =91.13(1)°,V=906.0 ų,Z=4. Die Kristallstruktur ist isotyp mit der monoklinen Modifikation von Fe₂(SO₄)₃, sie enthält zwei unterschiedliche Fe(III) und drei Se(VI) Atompositionen. Die FeO₆-Polyeder sind nur gering verzerrt, die mittleren Fe-O Bindungslängen sind 1.986 Å und 2.004 Å, die mittleren Abstände in den SeO₄-Tetraedern sind jeweils 1.628 Å. Die isolierten FeO₆-Oktaeder sind nur über gemeinsame Ecken mit SeO₄-Tetraedern verbunden, wobei eine Gerüststruktur entsteht.
