Pyridine N-oxide complexes having the composition ZrO(Py•O)6(ClO4)2, Th(Py•O)8(ClO4)4, and UO2(Py•O)5(ClO4)2 have been prepared. The infrared and electronic absorption spectra show that the bonding between the metal and pyridine N-oxide in the complexes has occurred by donation of the lone pair of p-electrons on oxygen to the metal, and that the π-bond character of NO group increases in the complexes as uranyl < thorium < zirconyl. The decrease in the vibrational structure of the UO22+ spectrum in the visible region indicates strong coordination of pyridine N-oxide to the uranyl group. The decomposition temperatures of zirconyl, thorium, and uranyl complexes are 307, 350, and 319 °C respectively.

Electrostatic interactions between localized integral charges make the stability and structure of highly charged small and rigid organics intriguing. Can σ/π-electron delocalization compensate reduced conformational freedom by lowering the repulsion between identical charges? The crystal structure of the title salt, C14H16N42+·2CF3SO3−, (2), is described and compared with that of the 2,2′′-bis(diphenylphosphanyl) derivative, (4). The conformations of the dications and their interactions with neighbouring trifluoromethanesulfonate anions are first analyzed from the standpoint of formal electrostatic effects. Neither cation exhibits any geometrical strain induced by the intrinsic repulsion between the positive charges. In contrast, the relative orientation of the imidazolium rings [i.e. antifor (2) andsynfor (4)] is controlled by different configurations of the interactions with the closest trifluoromethanesulfonate anions. The long-range arrangement is also found to be specific: beyond the formal electrostatic packing, C—H...O and C—H...F contacts have no definite `hydrogen-bond' character but allow the delineation of layers, which are either pleated or flat in the packing of (2) or (4), respectively.

In the crystal structure of the title salt, C24H38N42+·2C24H20B−, the C—N bond lengths in the central CN3unit of the guanidinium ion are 1.3364 (13), 1.3407 (13) and 1.3539 (13) Å, indicating partial double-bond character. The central C atom is bonded to the three N atoms in a nearly ideal trigonal–planar geometry and the positive charge is delocalized in the CN3plane. The bonds between the N atoms and the terminal methyl groups of the guanidinium moiety and the four C—N bonds to the central N atom of the (benzyldimethylazaniumyl)propyl group have single-bond character. In the crystal, C—H...π interactions between the guanidinium H atoms and the phenyl C atoms of the tetraphenylborate ions are present, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular pattern parallel to theacplane.

The reaction of 3,3,3-tris(dimethylamino)-1-phenylprop-1-yne with bromine in pentane yields the title compound, C13H17N2 +·Br−. The acetylenic bond distance [1.197 (2) Å] is consistent with a C[triple-bond]C triple bond. The amidinium C=N bonds [1.325 (2) and 1.330 (2) Å] have double-bond character and the positive charge is delocalized between the two dimethylamino groups.

The enthalpy contents of Cu2Se, Cu2Te, Ag2Se and Ag2Te at temperatures between 350 K to 50 K above the melting points were measured in an isoperibolic drop-calorimeter. Thermodynamic data of the compounds were derived from these measurements. An analysis of the data leads to the conclusion that a high degree of order is retained in the melts of these compounds, and that the bond character of these melts is partially ionic. An unusual decrease of Cp with increasing temperature immidiately after the transition temperatures could be confirmed.
