The octahedra are connected via common CrBa₂ faces as well as CrBa edges thereby forming condensed tetrameric octahedral groups. The isolated nitride ions which are also present in the crystal structure of Ba₅[CrN₄]N are in an octahedral environment of Ba²⁺ ions. The presence of a d¹-System (Cr(V)) is confirmed by magnetic susceptibility data.

C double and triple bonds. Compounds 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in Tab. 1 belong to the first group, whereas 3 and 4 belong to the second one.

The skeleton of 6 is a system of high bond stress with 2-C₂ symmetry. The strongly folded (138.8°) four-membered ring (sum of angles = 344.2°) and the presence of both a Si? Si bond length of 238.2 pm and a Si? Si non-bonding distance of 255.1 pm are remarkable aspects of this feature. The mean bond lengths in the bicyclic compound were found to be d(Si? C) = 190.9 pm and d(Si? C) = 185.1 pm for exo- and endocyclic bonds, respectively. The skeleton of 10 is of the symmetry 2/m-C_2h. The six-membered chain is plane. The central C?

The ligand sphere at Fe(2) corresponds to the so-called “piano stool” arrangement. cp(CO)₂Fe(μ-PH₂)MnMecp(CO)₂ 2 crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P2₁ with a = 750.1 pm, b = 2234.5 pm, c = 974.1 pm, β = 106.23°, and Z = 4 formula units. The P? Fe bond distance is found to be 230.0 pm, the P? Mn bond distance 224.3 pm. The angle Fe? P? Mn is with 126.8° even somewhat larger than the corresponding angle in 1 . Including the bridging PH₂-group both transition metals of 2 achieve a kind of “piano stool” arrangement for their ligand sphere.

Contributions to the Chemistry of Silicon-Sulfur Compounds. XXXVI. Mercury(II)-bis-tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate Mercury(II)bis-tri-tert-butoxysilanethiolate was obtained in reaction of HgO with (t-C₄H₉O)₃SiSH. This compound forms colourless triclinic plates. The central S? Hg? S bond element is linear, with Hg? S bond distance of 231.6 pm. The Hg atom is coordinated by two oxygens of the two butoxy groups, with Hg? O distance of 287.8 pm. The mean bond angle at the two-bonded sulfur is 95.6°. (Space group P1 ; a = 930.8, b = 944.0, c = 1204.8 pm, α = 100.34, β = 97,64, γ = 116.50°; Z = 1; R = 0.035; 3390 reflections hkl).     

Kristallstrukturen der Monofluorosulfite MSO2F (M = K,Rb)

Crystal Structures of Monofluorosulfites MSO₂F (M = K, Rb) Single crystals of potassium and rubidium fluorosulfite were obtained for the first time by reacting the alkali metal fluorides with sulfur dioxide in acetonitrile at 75 °C. According to the results of X‐ray structure determinations they are isotypic (monoclinic, P2₁/m, Z = 2, KSO₂F: a = 696.2(2), b = 566.3(2), c = 465.8(1) pm, β = 107.73(2)°, RbSO₂F: a = 717.2(1), b = 586.7(1), c = 484.0(1) pm, β = 107.14(1)°) and structurally analogous to potassium chlorate. In contrast to potassium fluoroselenite in which the complex anions are polymerized to linear chains by unsymmetric fluorine bridges, the fluorosulfite anion is isolated. The S–F‐distance of 159.1(2) pm (KSO₂F) corresponds to a S–F single bond, the S–O‐distance of 152.6(2) pm indicates a bond order of 1.5.

Contributions to the Chemistry of Silicon Sulphur Compounds. XXXIII. Structure of Bis (triphenylsilyl)sulphide The condensation of triphenylsilanethiol yielded bis(triphenylsilyl)sulphide ( 1 ). The compound is remarkable resistent to hydrolysis. 1 crystallizes monoclinically [P2₁/n (No. 14): a = 1707.8 pm; b = 1454.6 pm; c = 1225.0 pm; β = 97.27°; Z = 4; 4470 h k l; R = 0.053]. The molecule is bent with a bond angle Si? S? Si = 112.0°. The mean bond distances Si? S and Si? C are 215.2 pm and 187.4 pm, respectively. Some structural details are discussed.
