The crystal and molecular structure of bis(N,N-di-n-butyldithiocarbamato)-copper (III) triiodide, Cu(S₂CN(C₄H₉)₂)₂ ⁺I₃ ^–, has been determined from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.

Crystal and molecular structure of chloro(2,2′,2″-terpyridine)palladium(II)chloride dihydrate,C15H15Cl2N3O2Pd

The crystal and molecular structure of chloro(2,2,2-terpyridine)palladium(II)-chloride dihydrate, C₁₅H₁₅Cl₂N₃O₂Pd, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystals are orthorhombic: space groupPna2₁,a = 17·217(9),b = 14·026(8),c = 6·801(5) Å,Z = 4. Least-squares refinement of 2064 non-zero manually gathered diffractometer reflexions was carried out to a conventional unweightedR of 0·069. The molecule consists of a basically planar 4-coordinate [Pd(terpy)Cl]⁺ cation and a Cl^– anion. The molecules are packed in a layer structure in which the average separation is about 3·4 Å, the closest approach being 3·13 Å between a palladium atom and one of the nitrogen atoms of a neighboring molecule. Bond distances are within acceptable limits of predicted values. Deviations from planarity in the coordinated terpyridine ligand are presumably due to its steric limitations and are similar to those found in other terpyridine complexes.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants GP-7510 and GP-11776.     

Crystal and molecular structure of tetrakis(N,N′-diallylthiourea)nickel(II) iodide

Summary The crystal structure of tetrakis(N,N-diallylthiourea)nickel(II) iodide [Ni(C₇H₁₂N₂S)₄I₂] has been determined by a three-dimensional X-ray analysis. FinalR, after anisotropic least-squares refinement, is 8·8%. The crystals are tetragonal (P4/n):a = 11·24(1),c = 15·43(1) Å,Z = 2. Ni(II) is on a 4-fold axis; the coordination around it is flattened pyramidal and involves four sulphur atoms from four diallylthiourea molecules (Ni-S = 2·221 Å). Ni(II) is out of the plane through the sulphur atoms by 0·40 Å. Two I^- ions lie on opposite sides with respect to the nickel atom along the 4-fold axis, at distances Ni...I(1) = 3·74 Å, Ni...I(2) = 6·64 Å. The orientation of the allylthiourea molecules is determined mainly by a hydrogen bond formed by one nitrogen (N(1)) with the iodine which is nearer to the nickel.The authors are indebted to Prof. C. Furlani who kindly supplied the crystals of the compound.

Crystal and molecular structure of dithiobiuret

The crystal and molecular structure of dithiobiuret (S₂C₂N₃H₅) has been determined and refined from 1020 intensities measured by counter techniques at room temperature.

Crystal and molecular structure ofcis-dicarbonyltetraphosphinechromium(O), [(CO)2(PH3)4Cr]

The crystal and molecular structure ofcis-dicarbonyltetraphosphinechromium(O), [(CO)₂(PH₃)₄Cr] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system: space groupC2/c,a = 6·968(6),b = 11·98(1),c = 12·87(1) Å, = 99·80(8) °,V= 1059(3) ų,Z=4,D _m = 1·534(5),D _x = 1·531(5) gcm^–3, diffraction symmetry 2/m. The structure was solved by conventional methods, and refined by least-squares techniques to an agreement factorR = 0·078. The chromium atoms lie on rotation diads, and thus the molecules must have at least the symmetry 2(C ₂); they were found to have, within the limits of accuracy, the even higher symmetrymm2 (C _2v ). There are two distinct independent Cr-P distances in the molecule, the Cr-P bonds where phosphorus istrans to carbonyl [2·338(4) Å] being significantly longer than those where phosphorus istrans to phosphine [2·282(4) Å]. This difference may be attributed to a difference in the back-bonding capabilities of the two types of ligands.We wish to thank Professor Dr E. O. Fischer for his stimulating interest in this work. Our thanks are due also to the Leibniz Rechenzentrum der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften for use of their computing facilities. This work would not have been possible without a generous grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft which is gratefully acknowledged.     

One-dimensional chain structure based on bifurcated hydrogen bonding

The structure of complex [PyH][Ni(mnt)₂], as determined by X-ray single crystal analysis, consists of pyridinium cations and [Ni(mnt)₂]^– anions. Crystallographic data for the complex: monoclinic P2₁/c, a = 16.5430(18) Å, b = 6.3847(9) Å, c = 17.430(2) Å, = 118.040(7)°, V = 1625.4(3) ų, Z = 4.

The interactions between anions and cations via the formation of bifurcated N–H···NC hydrogen bonds give rise to an 1D zigzag chain of alternating cations and anions.     

Crystal structure of a one-dimensional ladder-shape CoII complex through hydrogen bonds with an amino-acid-like ligand 1,5-diazacyclooctane-N,N′-diacetate acid

The crystal structure of a one-dimensional ladder-shape complex [CoL(H₂O)]·2H₂O, (L being 1,5-diazacyclooctane-N,N-diacetate acid), has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis: monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a = 14.406(4) Å, b = 7.380(2) Å, c = 14.594(5) Å, = 112.685(2)°, M _r = 341.23, V = 1431.5(8) ų, Z = 4.

A structural study of sodium dithionite and its ephemeral dihydrate: A new conformation for the dithionite ion

Raman spectroscopy on solid anhydrous sodium dithionite reveals that it exists in at least two forms in the solid state. MAS²³Na NMR spectra and X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the solids indicate that sodium ions are in different environments in each form of the material. The results suggest that the dithionite anion is conformationally different in each lattice. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the recrystallized form of anhydrous sodium dithionite reveals an anion with C₂ geometry and a 16° O-S-S-O torsional angle; nearly eclipsed. (Crystal Data for recrystallized Na₂S₂O₄ area=6.539(1) Å,b=6.552(1) Å,c=6.578(1) Å,V=240.0(1) ų,=121.61(1)°, space group=P2/c,Z=2). Raman spectra of sodium dithionite dihydrate reveal that the dithionite ion is in a different conformation than in either of the anhydrous materials. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of Na₂S₂O₄·2H₂O reveals a dithionite anion with a substantially shorter S-S bond length than in the anhydrous structure and an O-S-S-O torsional angle of 56°; approximately gauche. (Crystal Data for Na₂S₂O₄·2H₂O area=8.134(1) Å,b=5.756(2) Å,c=14.528(5) Å,V=653.3(3) ų,=106.20(2)°, space group=P2₁/n,Z=4). The structure of the dithionite anion is found to depend critically upon the nature of its external environment.     

Crystal and molecular structure of diphenylthiosulphodiimide

The crystal and molecular structure of diphenylthiosulphodiimide, C₁₂H₁₀N₂S₃, has been solved by the symbolic addition procedure using three-dimensional CuK diffractometer data. The system is monoclinic,a = 30·41(3),b = 5·601(5),c = 7·792(8) Å, = 108·77(1) °, space groupC2/c andZ = 4.

The molecule possesses a crystallographic diad axis through the central sulphur atom. The planes of the phenyl rings make an angle of 30·8 ° with the closely coplanar central five atoms.     

Helical chirality of 1-phenacyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromides

Evidence for non-coplanarity of the pyridine and pyridinium rings in a series of 1-phenacyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromides was gleaned from ¹H-NMR data recorded in DMSO-d ₆ solution. The X-ray structure of 1-(4-chlorophenacyl)-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromide, as representative of this series, was determined in order to establish whether such a molecular distortion occurs in the solid state. The title compound crystallizes in the space group C2/c as a sesquihydrate of formula C₂₀H₁₄BrClN₂O·1.5H₂O with a = 35.7348(3) Å, b = 5.3468(1) Å, c = 21.7312(2) Å, = 116.4076(4)° and Z = 8. In the crystal, the helical chirality is manifested as a pronounced twist in the phenanthrolinium moiety, with the pyridine and pyridinium rings inclined at 6.8(2)°. This distortion is attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding of type C–H···N involving the methylene group and the uncharged nitrogen atom of the phenanthrolinium moiety. In the crystal, the cations surround an intricate array of water molecules and bromide ions held together by O–H···Br^– hydrogen bonds and comprising infinite chains ···Br^–···H–O–H···Br^–···, cross-linked by water molecules.
