8,8-Dimethylisobenzofulvene undergoes spontaneous cyclo-dimerization to give a mixture of two isomers of composition C24H24, The minor isomer crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a 16.815(8), b 16.975(8) and c 13.058(6)� pobs 1.13(3)g cm-3, pealc 1.13 g cm-3 for Z 8. The structure was solved from diffractometer data by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least squares to final residuals R 0.040, Rw 0.046 for 885 observed data. The stereochemistry of the minor dimer is established, contrary to theoretical predictions, as the exo-isomer. There is evidence of intramolecular steric strain particularly demonstrated by the elongated C-C single bonds, 1.590(7) and 1.570(7) �, which are formed in the dimerization process.

The structure of a cobalt(III) tetraammine complex of 4,5-dihydroxy- 4,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid (abbreviated as hmpc), (RS,RS)-[Co(NH3)4(hmpc)] (ClO4)2,H2O, has been determined from three- dimensional X-ray data collected by counter methods. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 11.984(5), b 8.836(4), c 19.609(7) Ǻ, β 110.58(2)�, Z 4. The structure has been refined to weighted and unweighted R-factors of 0.068 and 0.063, respectively, for the 1616 independent reflections with I/σ(I) ≥ 3.0. Hydrogen atoms could not be located and have not been included in the scattering model. There is considerable steric strain within the substituted pyrroline ligand, and the C=N distance is 1.293(8) Ǻ. Surprisingly, the methyl groups in the 4- and 5-positions are in a cisoid configuration (the torsion angle for the methyl groups about the 4-5 bond is 39.5�), and consequently the hydroxyl oxygen atoms are close [O-O distance, 2.583(8) Ǻ]; this suggests that there may be a bridging hydrogen atom.

The crystal and molecular structure of [Cr(S2CN(CH2)5)3].2 CHCl3 was found by the X-ray structural analysis method. The value R 0.090 was found for 1 131 observed independent reflections. The substance crystallizes in a space group of symmetry P212121 with the following unit cell dimensions: a = 0.8675 (6), b = 1.815(2), c = 2.155(3) nm. The experimentally observed crustal density was 1.48 Mgm-3 and the value calculated for Z = 4 was 1.51 Mgm-3. The CrS6 coordination polyhedron has the shape of a trigonally distorted octahedron, where the D3 symmetry is a approximately retained. The degree of trigonal distortion expressed as the projection of the chelate S-Cr-S angle onto the plane perpendicular to the C3 pseudo axis is Φ = 41.7° (Φ = 60° for an octahedron). The skeleton of the structure formed by the complex molecules contains channels filled with chloroform molecules. The specific type of complex-chloroform interaction consists of the formation of hydrogen bonds of the chloroform protons with the fully occupied pπ-orbitals of the sulphur atoms in the coordination polyhedra. The low stability and crystal decomposition can be explained by loss of chloroform from the channels.

The crystal and molecular structure of s-fac-[Co((S)-Asp)(dien)]ClO4 . HClO4 .2 H2O (dien = 1,4,7-triazaheptane) was solved by the heavy atom method. The position parameters of the non-hydrogen atoms and their anisotropic temperature parameters were refined based on 1 726 observed reflections with a final value of R = 0.073. The substance crystallizes in the orthorhombic system in the space group P212121, Z = 4, a = 8.506(1), b = 17.171(2), c = 13.277(1) Å. The structure involves hydrogen bonds between the O2, O4 and HN2 atoms of aspartic acid and the two molecules of water. The five-membered dien chelate rings take the asymmetric envelope conformations. The five-membered ring of (S)-aspartic acid possesses the symmetric envelope conformation whereas the six-membered ring exhibits the skew boat conformation.
