Salts of alkaline earth metal cations sequestered in dibenzo-18-crown-6 (Db18c6) and benzo-15- crown-5 (B15c5), respectively, with I5−, I7− and I82− as the anions, have been synthesized and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. [Ca(Db18c6)(H2O)3](I5)2- (Db18c6)(H2O) (1): monoclinic, P21 (no. 4), a = 1322.1(2), b = 1849.1(2), c = 1344.0(2) pm, β = 114.70(1)◦, V = 2985.2(6) × 106 pm3, Z = 2; [Sr(B15c5)2](I7)2 (2): triclinic, P1 (no. 2), a = 973.9(5), b = 1244.0(5), c = 1293.3(5) pm, α = 115.28(1), β = 90.18(1), γ = 104.57(1)◦, V = 1360.2(10) × 106 pm3, Z = 2; [Ba(Db18c6)2]I8 (3): orthorhombic, Pbcn (no. 60), a = 1452.0(2), b = 1924.6(2), c = 1912.1(2) pm, V = 5343.3(10) × 106 pm3, Z = 4. Compound 1 contains two crystallographically independent V-shaped pentaiodide anions, I5 −, which are linked to dimers by weak interionic contacts. The unusual heptaiodide anion, I7−, in 2 can be described as a V-shaped pentaiodide unit, which is connected to a slightly widened iodine molecule to give the rare Z form. Secondary bonding distances lead to almost planar ten-membered iodine rings, which are connected through common edges to form ribbons with staircase-like folding. 3 is built of sandwich-like cations and centrosymmetric octaiodide anions, I82−. An inspection for secondary contacts reveals that the iodine substructure of 3 consists of essentially isolated octaiodide units.

Mixed crystals of the formulae CaGaAlO4 (1) and CaGa0.5Al1.5O4 (2) were investigated by X-ray single crystal work. 1 shows a tetrahedral orientation like that of CaGa2O4 (monokl.), 2 another one of CaAl2O4. A discussion of the different polyhedral arrangement of the stuffed tridymite structures is given.

By reaction of methanolic solutions of hexamethylenetetramine with aqueous solutions of hexacyanoferrates(III) of strontium and barium resp., crystals of the compounds were obtained. Sr3[Fe(CN)6]2 · 3 C6H12N4 · 18 H2O, tetragonal, space group P42/nmc, Z = 4, a = 1931.8(4), c = 1579.9(4) pm, 1358 reflections. R = 0.066. Ba3[Fe(CN)6]2 · 2 C6H12N4 · 11 Η2Ο. monoclinic. space group P21/n, Ζ = 2, a = 1148.0(4), b = 1369.7(4), c = 1584.5(4) pm, γ = 95.79(3)°, 2583 reflections, R = 0.057. The crystal structures of these adducts are compared with those of other hexamethylenetetramine adducts of alkaline and alkaline earth metal hexacyanoferrates of the general formula M,[Fe(CN)6]y · zC6H12N4 · vH2O recently investigated by us. A structural model for the adducts is presented.
