Decaphenylchromocenium and decaphenylcobaltocenium cations [M(η5-C5Ph5)2]+, M = Cr and Co, were synthesized by oxidation of the corresponding neutral decaphenylchromocene and decaphenylcobaltocene respectively with nitrosyl tetrafluoroborate. The complexes are air-stable and were fully characterized; decaphenylchromocenium tetrafluoroborate (1) and decaphenylcobaltocenium tetrafluoroborate (2) were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of (1) (as a water/methylene chloride solvate), C70·5H50BClCrF4O0·5, M 1079·42, are triclinic, space group P -1 (No. 2), a 13·634(5), b 17·424(5), c 13·298(4) Å, α 106·45(2), β 101·83(3), γ 74·56(2)°, Z 2. Crystals of (2) (as a water/methylene chloride solvate), C70·5H50BClCoF4O0·5, M 1086·36, are triclinic, space group P-1 (No. 2), a 13·633(2), b 17·683(3), c 13·255(3) Å, α 107·95(1), β 102·71(1), γ 73·23(1)°, Z2.

In a systematic search for supramolecular complexes involving all combinations of the cyclic polyethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C 5), 18-crown-6 (18C 6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB -18C6), and the geminal di- or trisulfones H2C(SO 2Me)2, H2C (SO2Et)2 and HC (SO2Me)3-n (SO2Et)n (n = 0 -3 ) , only the following four complexes could be isolated and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy: [(12C4){H2C (SO2Et)2}2] (3), [(18C6){H2C (S O2Me)2}] (4), [(DB -18C 6){H2C (SO2Et)2}] (5) and [(D B -18C 6)2{HC (SO2Me )(SO2Et)2}3] (6). The structure of 3 (triclinic, space group P1̄) consists of crystallographically centrosymmetric formula units, in which the disulfone molecules are bonded on each side of the ring by two C -H ··· O(crown) interactions originating from the central methylene group (H···O 213 pm) and from the methylene group of one EtSO2 moiety ( H ··· O 237 pm). Formula units related by translation are connected into parallel strands by a third type of reciprocal C -H ···O bond (H ···O 232 pm) between the second H atom of the central methylene group and a sulfonyl oxygen atom of the adjacent unit. The structure of 4 (monoclinic, space group C2/c) showed severe disorder of the crown ether and could not be refined satisfactorily. Compounds 5 and 6 crystallized as long and extremely thin fibres, indicative of linear-polymeric supramolecular structures; single crystals for X-ray crystallography were not available.

Reaction of neodymium metal with bis ( pentafluorophenyl )mercury and pyrazole ( Hpz ) or 3,5-dimethylpyrazole ( Hdmpz ) in tetrahydrofuran ( thf ) yields Nd ( pz )3 or [ Nd ( dmpz )3( thf )]2. X-Ray crystallography has shown that [Nd (dmpz )3( thf )]2 [triclinic, space group Pī (No. 2), a 11.070(4), b 11.364(3), c 10.867(2)Ǻ, α 103.00(1), β 120.78(3), γ 97.68(2)°, R 0.0235, Rw 0.0247 for 5575 observed reflections] has a novel centrosymmetric dimeric structure. Each neodymium is eight-coordinate (4,4 bicapped trigonal prism) with two terminal chelating dmpz ligands [ Nd -N 2.400(2), 2.413(3), 2.422(3), 2.426(3)Ǻ], two bridging dmpz ligands [ Nd -N 2.509(2), 2.511(2)Ǻ], and, unexpectedly, two bridging tetrahydrofuran ligands [ Nd -O 2.792(2), 2.757(2)Ǻ].

The structures of three tetramethylammonium salts containing anions of formula [(μ-SePh)6(MSePh)4]2− (M = Zn and Cd) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The Zn salt crystallizes in different space groups depending upon the solvent combination used in the synthesis. Thus crystals of (Me4N)2[Zn4(SePh)10], 1, grown from a mixture of methanol, acetonitrile, and acetone are triclinic, space group [Formula: see text] with cell dimensions a = 13.214(2), b = 23.859(2), c = 13.072(1) Å, α = 91.134(8), β = 113.350(8), γ = 79.865(9)°, and Z = 2. In the absence of acetone, a solvated crystal (Me4N)2[Zn4(SePh)10]•CH3CN, 2, is formed, which belongs to the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 14.248(1), b = 39.722(2), c = 13.408(1) Å, β = 97.132(5)°, and Z = 4. The Cd salt (Me4N)2[Cd4(SePh)10], 3, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with a = 20.830(2), b = 14.282(1), c = 25.872(1) Å, β = 99.626(6)°, and Z = 4. These three salts are the first examples of homoleptic, tetranuclear selenolatometal(II) anions with (μ-Se)6M4 cages of adamantane-type stereochemistry. In each case the phenyl substituents of the bridging ligands adopt the configuration [aae, aae, aee, aee], which has the minimum number of two 1,3-axial–axial non-bonding substituent interactions. Keywords: selenolate complexes, synthesis, X-ray crystallography, isomerism, adamantane stereochemistry.

The Cu(I) complexes, (Ph3P)2CuL (L = [S2PMe2]-, [OSPR2]- (R = Me, Ph), [(XPR2)(YPR'2)N]- (X, Y, R, R' = O, O, Ph, Ph; O, S, Ph, Ph; O, S, OEt, Ph; S, S, Me, Me)) and Cu(II) complexes, CuL2 (L = [(XPR2)(YPR'2)N]- (X, Y, R, R' = O, O, Ph, Ph; O, S, Ph, Ph)), have been prepared. The Cu(I) derivatives were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and in two cases by X-ray crystallography. (Ph3P)2Cu[S2PMe2] (1) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (No. 19) with cell parameters a = 9.782(2), b = 17.808(4), c = 20.216(4) Å, V = 3521(6) Å3 and Z = 4, and (Ph3P)2Cu[(OPPh2)2N] (4) in the triclinic space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2) with cell parameters a = 9.8079(2), b = 12.9141(3), c = 22.5666(5) Å, α = 75.714(2), β = 79.465(2), γ = 68.2770(8)°, V = 2559.9(1) Å3 and Z = 2. In both cases the phosphorus ligands are bidentate, thus resulting in monomeric molecules that contain tetrahedral CuP2S2 and CuP2O2 cores. The molecular structures of two of the Cu(II) derivatives were also determined. Cu[(OPPh2)2N]2 (8) and Cu[(OPPh2)(SPPh2)N]2 (9) crystallize in the triclinic space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2) with cell parameters a = 8.887(2), b = 10.739(2), c = 12.477(3) Å, α = 77.61(3), β = 76.15(5), γ = 79.46(3)°, V = 1118.3(4) Å3 and Z = 1 for 8, and a = 9.626(2), b = 14.151(3), c = 24.752(5) Å, α = 88.23(3), β = 79.93(3), γ = 89.77(3)°, V = 3181(1) Å3 and Z = 3 for 9. The molecule of Cu[(OPPh2)2N]2 (8) has a planar CuO4 core, while in Cu[(OPPh2)(SPPh2)N]2 (9) both planar and tetrahedral copper cores are observed in a ratio of 1:2.Key words: structure, copper, thiophosphinates, oxo- and thio-imidodiphosphinates

Reaction of the tetracarbonyl species [M(CO)2(µ-mtz)]2 (M = Rh, Ir; mtz = 2-mercaptothiazolinate) with 1 equivalent of the diphosphines (Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2; n = 1 (dppm), 2 (dppe)) yields the compounds [M2(CO)2(µ-L)(µ-mtz)2] (M = Rh, L = dppm (1), dppe (3); M = Ir, L = dppm (2)), which readily undergo oxidative addition of iodine to give [M2I2(CO)2(µ-L)(µ-mtz)2] (M = Rh, L = dppm (4), dppe (6); M = Ir, L = dppm (5)). When 2 equivalents of dppm are used, the A-frame compounds [M2(CO)2(η1-mtz)(µ-mtz)(dppm)2] (M = Rh (7), Ir (8)) are afforded. In solution the dangling mtz group of 7 undergoes exchange with both the free mtz anion and the bridging mtz ligand. Compounds 7 and 8 are also produced by treatment of trans-[MCl(CO)(dppm)]2 (M = Rh, Ir) with 2 equivalents of the mtz anion. Reaction of these dppm-bridged dichloro species with 1 equivalent of the mtz anion yields [M2Cl(CO)2(µ-mtz)(dppm)2] (M = Rh (9a), Ir (10)). Compound 9a undergoes reversible Cl− dissociation to give [Rh2(CO)2(µ-mtz)(dppm)2][Cl] (9b), which is also the stable form in the solid. Reaction of 9 with CO gives the carbonyl-bridged species [Rh2(CO)2(µ-CO)(µ-mtz)(dppm)2][Cl]. The structures of 6 and 9b have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 6 crystallizes in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text] with one-half equivalent of THF per asymmetric unit in a cell having a = 9.856(3) Å, b = 14.078(6) Å, c = 16.245(5) Å, α = 103.66(3)°, β = 93.21(3)°, γ = 92.91(3)°, V = 2182(1) Å3, and Z = 2, and has refined to R = 0.045 and Rw = 0.057 on the basis of 433 parameters varied. Compound 9b crystallizes with one equivalent of CH2Cl2 in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 11.400(1) Å, b = 21.944(2) Å, c = 22.134(1) Å, β = 92.494(7)°, V = 5532(1) Å3, and Z = 4, and has refined to R = 0.062 and Rw = 0.082 on the basis of 613 parameters varied.

NiCl2 reacts with NaSR in methanol solution to give the black diamagnetic complexes [Ni5(SR)10] (R = Et, 1) and [Ni4(SR)8] (R = C6H11 , 2). Crystals of 1 are monoclinic, space group P21/h with a = 13.149(4), b = 15.571(4), c = 17.917(5) Å , β = 105.31(2)° and Z = 4. 2 crystallizes from methylene chloride with sixteen solvent molecules per unit cell in the orthorhombic space group Ibca with a = 17.902(8), b = 18.289(8), c = 37.99(2) Å and Z = 8. The structures of 1 and [Ni4(SC6HM)8] · 2 CH 2Cl2 (3) have been determined by X-ray crystallography and refined to R(RW) = 0.072 (0.062) and 0.119 (0.128), respectively. Both complexes are cyclic neutral molecules and contain square planar NiS4 coordination sites (1: mean Ni - S 2.200 Å , mean S -Ni -S 81.8 ( 2 x ) . 98.3 ( 2 x ) , 170.8° ( 2 x ) ; 2: mean Ni - S 2.213 Å , mean S - Ni - S 80.9 (2 x ) , 98.2 ( 2 x ) , 167.5°(2 x )) condensed via opposite edges. A s a result, prismatic sulfur frameworks are observed which are pentagonal in the case of 1 and tetragonal in the case of 2. Their lateral faces are centered by Ni atoms. The symmetry of the Ni-S core portion approaches D5h for 1 and D4h for 2. With reference to the toroidal N i-S frameworks, the sulfur-carbon bonds of each pair of opposite ligands are in axial and equatorial positions, respectively. This configuration alternates around the prismatic sulfur arrangement which is completely compatible with the even number of nickel atoms present in 2, but results in a node for 1 due to the five-fold symmetry.

Two conformational polymorphs of (N,N-dibutyldithiocarbamato-κ2 S,S′)[tris(3,5-diphenylpyrazol-1-yl-κN 2)hydroborato]cobalt(II), [Co(C45H34BN6)(C9H18NS2)] or [TpPh2Co(S2CNBu2)], 1, are accessible by recrystallization from dichloromethane–methanol to give orthorhombic polymorph 1a, while slow evaporation from acetonitrile produces triclinic polymorph 1b. The two polymorphs have been characterized by IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallography at 150 K. Polymorphs 1a and 1b crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbca and the triclinic space group P-1, respectively. The polymorphs have a trans (1a) and cis (1b) orientation of the butyl groups with respect to the S2CN plane of the dithiocarbamate ligand, which results in an intermediate five-coordinate geometry for 1a and a square-pyramidal geometry for 1b. Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals minor differences between the two polymorphs, with 1a exhibiting stronger C—H...S interactions and 1b favouring C—H...π interactions.

The new phenanthroline ligand 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-(5′-methylpyridin-2′-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline L has been synthesized and shown to form four-coordinate CuI(L)2 (1) and six-coordinate CuII(L)2 (2) complexes. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography: (1) C50H38CuN6O2.BF4, triclinic, space group P -1, a12·924(3), b 14·567(4), c 12·649(3) Å , α 105·57(2), β 107·68(2), γ 104·00(2)°; (2) C50H38CuN6O2.2PF6, monoclinic, space group P 21/c, a 17·701(5), b 19·285(5), c 14·93(4) Å, β 98·20(2)°. In solution, cyclic voltammetry measurements indicate for the copper(I) and copper(II) complexes a very fast rearrangement of the pyridine substituent with the change of the oxidation state. Surprisingly, the X-ray data show two different coordination modes for the ligand around the copper(I) ion, the 1,10-phenanthroline nucleus being either mono- or bi-dentate. In solution, since the 1H n.m.r. spectra obtained even at several temperatures display only one set of signals, it is proposed that a fast equilibrium takes place between two coordination modes of the phenanthroline

The mono(acetylacetonato) complexes [MCl(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene)] (M = Ru, Os, arene = C6H6, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6; M = Os, arene = 1,2-C6H4Me2, 1,2,3-C6H3Me3), which are formed from [MCl2(η6-arene)]2 and thallium or sodium acetylacetonate, react with thallium acetylacetonate to give bis(acetylacetonato) complexes [M(O,O'-acac)(η1-acac)(η6-arene)]. The η1-acac ligand is bound through the gamma-carbon atom for M = Ru, Os, arene = C6H6; M = Os, arene = 1,2-C6H4Me2, 1,2,3-C6H3Me3 and through a keto-oxygen atom for M = Ru, Os, arene = 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6, the difference being attributed to a combination of steric and electronic effects. Cationic ruthenium(II) derivatives [Ru(L)(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene]+ (arene = C6H6, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6; L = DMSO, MeCN, py, PPh3) and [Ru(CO)(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene]+ (arene = 1,3,5-C6H3Me3,C6Me6), and neutral osmium(II) η1-acetato derivatives [Os(η1-OAc)(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene)] (arene = C6H6, 1,2-C6H4Me2, 1,2,3-C6H3Me3, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6) are also described. The molecular structures of the following complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography: [Os(O,O'-acac)(η1-C-acac)(η6-1,2-C6H4Me2)], triclinic, space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2), a = 9.922(2), b = 9.974(2), and c = 11.001(2) Å, α = 68.33(1), β = 64.18(1), and γ = 62.38(1)°, V = 849.0(3) Å3, Z = 2; [Os(O,O'-acac)(η1-O-acac)(η6-1,3,5-C6H3Me3)], monoclinic, space group C2/c (No. 15), a = 16.032(4), b = 11.989(3), and c = 21.562(7) Å, β= 108.91(2)°, V = 3921(2) Å, Z = 8; [Os(η1-OAc)(O,O'-acac)(η6-C6H6)], triclinic, space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2), a = 8.368(4), b = 8.402(4), and c = 11.008(4) Å, α = 71.68(3), β = 69.35(3), and γ = 69.77(3)°, V = 663.0(6) Å3, Z = 2.Key words: arene-ruthenium, arene-osmium, acetylacetone, crystal structures.

Ruthenium-sulfur dioxide complexes [cpRu(PR3)2(SO2)]Cl ((PR3)2 = (PPh3)2, Ph2PCH2PPh2(dppm), Ph2PC2H4PPh2(dppe)) add alkoxide to give sulfito complexes [cpRu(PR3)2(SO2OR′)] (R′ = Me, Et, /Pr). Reactions of [cpRu(dppm)(SO2)]Cl with LiR′ (R′ = Me, Bu, Ph), MgBrR′ (R′ = Et, CH=CH2) or ZnEt2 give sulfinato complexes [cpRu(dppm)(SO2R′)]. The structure of [cpRu(dppm)(SO2Et)] was determined by X-ray crystallography: Crystals are triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 11,008(1), b = 15,998(6), c = 17,813(2) Å, α = 92,30(2), β = 93,916(8), γ = 107,54(2)°, Z = 4. Salient features are a short Ru-S bond and relatively long S-O bonds which attest to the high π-donor ability of the pseudo-tetrahedral metal fragment.
