The strong Lewis acid tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene can be obtained in both hydrated and non-hydrated forms. This complex coordinates a water molecule inside the cavity via strong O···W interactions with relatively short distances of 2.284(4) and 2.329(2) Å for the tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene··H2O·aniline (1), and the tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene·H2O·toluene (2·toluene), respectively. The strong interactions are also deduced by the relatively high H2O elimination temperature observed by TGA and DSC (above 200 °C). The coordinated water molecule inside the calix[4]arene cavity is characterized by a strong IR absorption at 3616 cm–1, and a narrow resonance at ~1.2 ppm (the chemical shifts of the uncoordinated water are 1.55 and 1.60 ppm in C6D6 and CDCl3, respectively). This water molecule gives rise to H-bonds with aniline in 1. The tungsten oxo complex of 5,11,17,23-tetrabromocalix[4]arene (4), also binds H2O as the characteristic signatures are observed. The successful removal of H2O in 2, is performed under mild conditions using bis(tetrahydrofuran)-uranyl nitrate as a competitive Lewis acid. When this reaction is performed in acetonitrile, butyronitrile or tert-butylnitrile, the corresponding tungsten oxo complexes of calix[4]arene·acetonitrile (3), ·butyronitrile (5), and ·tert-butylnitrile (6) are obtained. The use of uranyl as a H2O abstractor is unprecedented. The X-ray structure of 3 consists of a tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene coordinated by an acetonitrile molecule (d(W···N = 2.412(2) Å). The tetra-5,11,17,23-choromethyl-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene reacts with M(O)Cl4 (M = Mo, W) in a 1:1 stoichiometry, via a tetra Friedel–Crafts addition of benzene or toluene, followed by a lower-rim complexation of the metal oxide, to form "flower-shaped" calix[4]arenes. This "one pot" double functionalization is unprecedented.Key words: calix[4]arene, tungsten, molybdenum, X-ray, host–guest, Friedel–Crafts, Lewis acid, uranyl, DSC, TGA.

Their crystal structures were determined on the basis of single crystal X-ray data. The coordination polymers 1 and 2 crystallize with triclinic symmetry, P1̅ (no. 2), with a = 468.8(2), b = 1256.4(5), c = 1445.5(6) pm, α = 67.15(3), β = 89.21(3), γ = 89.40(3)° and a = 833.6(1), b = 1862.7(2), c = 2182.9(2) pm, α = 111.61(1), β = 90.98(1), γ = 95.51(1)°, respectively. 3 and 4 crystallize with monoclinic symmetry, Pc (no. 7), a =1194.1(1), b=1258.8(2), c=735.5(2) pm, β =96.96(2)° and P21/n (no. 14), a=1069.0(2), b =911.6(1), c=1089.9(2) pm and β = 96.87(2)°. In 1 the theophylline molecules are non-coordinating to mercury and leave the Hg(CF3)2 molecule unchanged. Only weak electrostatic attractions to one keto-oxygen atom of theophylline and one water molecule hold this co-crystallisate together. In 2, the theophyllinate anion, Thp−, strongly coordinates with both N(7) and N(9) to HgII forming a large ring with eight Hg atoms that incorporates the water molecules. One sort of nitrate ions in 3 is weakly attached to HgII with the theophylline molecules still bound strongly through N(9). The chloride ligand and the theophyllinate ion seem to have the same strengths as ligands in 4 as they are both attached to HgII with the shortest distances possible

Diosgenin [or (22R,25R)-spirost-5-en-3β-ol] is the starting material of the Marker degradation, a cheap semi-synthesis of progesterone, which has been designated as an International Historic Chemical Landmark. Thus far, a single X-ray structure for diosgenin is known, namely its dimethyl sulfoxide solvate [Zhanget al.(2005).Acta Cryst.E61, o2324–o2325]. We have now determined the structure of the hemihydrate, C27H42O3·0.5H2O. The asymmetric unit contains two diosgenin molecules, with quite similar conformations, and one water molecule. Hydroxy groups in steroids and water molecules form O—H...O hydrogen-bondedR54(10) ring motifs. Fused edge-sharingR(10) rings form a backbone oriented along [100], which aggregates the diosgenin molecules in the crystal structure.

The crystal structure of the title compound, Ca(C6H2N307)2,5H2O, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.049 for 1513 'observed' reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, Pmab, a 24.169(6), b l0.292(7), c 8.554(2) �, Z 4. The stereochemistry about the calcium has not been observed previously for the system [M(bidentate)2- (unidentate)4]; in the present structure, the calcium is coordinated by a pair of bidentate picrate ligands and the four water molecules in an array in which three of the water molecules occupy a triangular face of a square antiprism, the overall array having m symmetry. The remaining water molecule occupies a lattice site with no close interaction with the other species.

The structure of the crown ether 1,8-(3,6,9-trioxaundecane-1,11-diyldioxy)-9,10-dihydro-10,10-dimethylanthracene-9-ol, C24H30O6·H2O (1), code name P326, the parent compound for a series of derivatives, has been determined by both X-ray diffraction at room temperature and neutron diffraction at very low temperature. The unit cells are very similar at both temperatures and in both cases the crystals exhibit P21 symmetry with Z = 4 (two molecules, A and B, respectively, per asymmetric unit) and pseudosymmetry P21/c. The higher symmetry is broken mainly by the two independent water molecules in the unit cell, some reflections which would be absent in P21/c having strong intensities in both the X-ray and neutron data. In both molecules A and B hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule stabilize the macrocyclic ring structure, one involving the macrocyclic O(9) as a donor. Close contacts between the water and macrocyclic O atoms in each molecule also suggest the presence of two bifurcated hydrogen bonds, involving water HW2 to both O(16) and O(18), and water HW1 to both O(18) and O(20), respectively, with considerable variation in the geometry being present. Both molecules A and B exhibit very close pseudosymmetry across a plane perpendicular to the molecular plane and through atoms C(9) and O(18), and in addition are predominantly planar structures. The X-ray analysis failed to reveal one H atom per water molecule, each being subsequently included after location and refinement in the neutron analysis.

Stoichiometric Complex

A stoichiometric complex of formula maleic acid•2H2O•18-crown-6 has been obtained from maleic acid and the macrocyclic polyether 18-crown-6. Crystals of this complex have been shown by X-ray diffraction crystallography to belong to the Cc space group of the monoclinic system. The acid molecules in the adduct are linked to each other through a water molecule, giving infinite [-acid-H2O-]n chains. They are also linked to the crown ether via water molecules. The infrared and Raman spectra of the complex are presented and compared to those of crystalline maleic acid. Keywords: maleic acid/18-crown-6, structure, X-ray, spectra.

Two hydrated kaolinites, characterized by 10 and 8.4 Å basal distances, were synthesized by treating the kaolinite KGa-1 with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ammonium fluoride (NH4F). The X-ray diffraction study was based on a comparison between the experimental and calculated profiles. This study was conducted in two steps: firstly, the study of the 00lreflections enabled the determination of the stacking mode alongc*, the number of water molecules and their positions along the normal to the plane of the sheet structure; secondly, the study of thehkbands, withhand/ork≠ 0, enabled the determination of the stacking mode and the positions of the water molecules in the (a,b) plane. The 10 Å hydrated kaolinite is characterized by two water molecules per Al2Si2O5(OH)4unit, situated at 3 and 3.4 Å from the hydroxyl surface, over the octahedral sites. Two adjacent layers are translated with respect to each other, withT11= −0.38a− 0.37b+ 10n. The 8.4 Å hydrated kaolinite is characterized by one water molecule per Al2Si2O5(OH)4unit, situated at 2.4 Å from the hydroxyl surface and inserted between the vacant octahedral site and the ditrigonal cavity of the tetrahedral sheet. The corresponding interlayer shift isT11= −0.355a+ 0.35b+ 8.4n.

In order to determine the structure parameters of the reaction intermediate formed during the reduction process of chromate(VI) ion by hydrogen peroxide, a laboratory stopped-flow X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS ) apparatus, which was constructed by a rotating anode X-ray generator, an energy scanning spectrometer, a stopped-flow assembly, and X-ray detectors, was newly developed. Using the apparatus, the Cr K -edge XAFS spectrum of the reaction intermediate was measured. One oxo group, two peroxo groups, and one water molecule are coordinated to the Cr(VI) center in the intermediate, CrO(O2)2(H2O ) , with Cr - O bond lengths of 157, 168, and 193 pm, respectively. The geometry around the Cr(VI) center is probably 6-coordinate pentagonal pyramidal.
