The reduction of magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPc) with 2.2 equivalents of potassium graphite in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) gives [K2(DME)4]PcMg(OH)(1) in 67% yield. Compound 1 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography and was found to be a monomeric, heterometallic complex consisting of a μ3-OH ligand that bridges a [MgIIPc3-]- anion to two potassium cations solvated by four DME molecules. An absorption spectrum of 1 confirms the Pc ligand is singly reduced and has a 3–charge. The solid-state structure of 1 does not indicate breaking of the aromaticity of the Pc ligand. Compound 1 is only the second Pc3- complex and the first reduced MgPc to be isolated and structurally characterized.

A novel Bi (III) coordination compound, [Bi(HQ)(Cl)4]n ((Q = pyridine-4-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone), was prepared in this research using a sonochemical technique. SEM, infrared spectroscopy (IR), XRD, and single-crystal X-ray analysis were utilized to analyze the Bi(III) coordination compound. The structure determined using single-crystal X-ray crystallography indicates that the coordination compound is a 1D polymer in solid state and that the coordination number of bismuth (III) ions is six, (BiSCl5), with one S donor from the organic ligand and five Cl donors from anions. It is equipped with a hemidirectional coordination sphere. It is interesting that the ligand has been protonated in the course of the reaction with a Cl- ion balancing the charge. This compound’s supramolecular properties are directed and regulated by weak directional intermolecular interactions. Through π–π stacking interactions, the chains interact with one another, forming a 3D framework. Thermolysis of the compound at 170 °C with oleic acid resulted in the formation of pure phase nanosized Bi (III) oxide. SEM technique was used to examine the morphology and size of the bismuth (III) oxide product produced.

Iodination of [closo-1-CB7H8]– (anion 1) with elemental iodine under various controlled conditions yields a continuum from mono- to hexaiodinated derivatives including the previously unknown [closo-1-CB7H5-6,7,8-I3]– (anion 5) and [closo-1-CB7H2-2,3,4,6,7,8-I6]– (anion 8). These species, characterized by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, and, in the case of 8, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, provide insight into the fluxional molecular behavior of anion 1 in solution. Investigation of direct electrophilic substitution on the carbon-vertex of anion 1 using standard conditions and reagents (deprotonation by BuLi followed by addition of electrophile) proved futile, but the same conditions when using the new triiodo-deravitive anion 5 resulted in the formation of the first eight-vertex C-methylated carborane anion [1-CH3-closo-1-CB7H4-6,7,8-I3]– (anion 9), in 60% yield.

<div>We report the first single crystal structures of hypochlorite and hypobromite salts, including hydrated sodium hypochlorite - a ubiquitous bleaching and disinfection agent in use for almost 200 years. The structures represent the first characterization of fundamentally important hypochlorite and hypobromite anions in the solid state, by X-ray crystallography and are supported by Raman spectroscopy on individual crystals. The structural analysis provides insight into supramolecular chemistry of the hypohalite ions in the hydrated environment of the NaOCl<sup>.</sup>5H<sub>2</sub>O and NaOBr<sup>.</sup>5H<sub>2</sub>O solid salts, and reveals measured Cl-O and Br-O bond lengths of 1.69 A and 1.82 A, respectively, which are significantly longer than those for corresponding higher-valence oxoanions, and in agreement with the values spectroscopically determined for hypohalous acids and corresponding oxides in the gas phase.<br></div>

The reactions of the dithiolato-o-carborane salt (Et3NH)2(S2C2B10H10) (2) with alkyl halides BrCH2CH=CH2, BrCH2CH2CH2Cl and C6H5CH2Cl, afford the o-carboranyl-bisthioether derivatives 3a - c, which have been characterized by IR and NMR (1H, 13C, 11B) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (3c). The photoluminescent properties of the known compound 3c has been investigated. It exhibits a violet (chloroform solution) or blue (solid state) emission when excited with UV light.
