The crystal structures of Na3 [H6CoMo6O24].8H2O and K6 [H4Co2Mo10O38].7H2O have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The monomer, Na3 [H6CoMo6O24].8H2O, is triclinic, space group P-1, a 6·451(1), b 10·866(2), c 10·922(2) Å, α 109·20(1), β 106·90(1), γ 95·43(1)°, V 676·3(2) Å3, Z 1, and the structure was solved to an R1 value of 0·0243 (wR2 0·0784) for 3761 independent observed reflections. The anion exhibits the well known Anderson structure with six octahedral MoO6 edge-sharing units surrounding the central ‘CoO6’ octahedron, with all metals in a common plane. The dimer, K6 [H4Co2Mo10O38].7H2O, is monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 11·795(5), b 11·626(2), c 29·731(13) Å, β 95·33(2)°, V 4059(3) Å3, Z 4, and the structure was solved to an R1 value of 0·0215 (wR2 0·1040) for 6546 independent observed reflections. The anion can be derived from the monomeric hexamolybdocobaltate(III) ion by removing one ‘MoO5’ unit (ignoring the hydrogen atoms) from each of two monomer anions, turning one 180° around a CoO6 octahedral diagonal, and joining them to create two CoO6 octahedra sharing an edge. Cyclic voltammetry shows that both anions are irreversibly reduced at low pH values (4·0–4·5), likely as a result of chemical reactions following the initial reduction steps. At higher pH values (4·5–5·4), a change in speciation occurs in both cases, most likely the result of the formation of less highly protonated species, which also display irreversible electrochemical behaviour.

The preparation and purification of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] and [Pd( hpip )Cl2] ( hpip = homopiperazine = 1,4-diazacycloheptane) are described. Crystal structures of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] and [Pd( hpip )Cl2] have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to R values of 0.023 (932 F) and 0.023 (948 F). The crystals of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] are orthorhombic, space group Pbcm , a 7.7019(8), b 9.8080(12), c 12.1944(14) Ǻ, and those of [Pd( hpip )Cl2] are monoclinic, space group P21/m, a 6.1001(9), b 11.527(2), c 6.458(I) Ǻ, β 106.30(2)°. The seven- membered rings of the ligands in both complexes adopt boat-like conformations in which the five- membered chelate ring has an eclipsed N-C-C-N group and the six- membered chelate ring adopts a chair conformation. Molecular mechanics methods were used to investigate whether this conformation was a crystallographic artefact but it was found to be real. An alternative conformation in which the six-membered chelate ring adopts a skew-boat conformation was also investigated. It was found to be less stable than the conformation observed in the crystal structures, but to a degree that depends on whether non-bonded interactions involving the metal atom were included or not.

N,N′-Tetramethyl-N"-benzoylphosphoryltriamide (I) and dimorpholido-N-benzoylphosphorylamide (II), and their sodium salts Nal, Nall were synthesized and characterized by means of IR and 1H, 31P NMR spectroscopy. The structures of I, II were determined by X-ray diffraction: I monoclinic, space group P2i/c with a = 10.162(3), b= 11.469(4), c = 12.286(4) Å , β = 94.04°, V = 1428.4(8) A 3, Z = 4, p(calcd) = 1.187 g/cm3; II monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 15.503(4), b = 10.991(3), c = 22.000(6) Å, β = 106.39°, V = 3596.3(17) Å3, Z = 8, p(calcd.) = 1.253 g/cm3. The refinement of the structures converged at R = 0.0425 for I, and R = 0.068 for II. In both structures the molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via hydrogen bonds formed by the phosphorylic oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms of amide groups.

Four novel norditerpenoids were isolated from a new encrusting sponge, conveniently labelled Aplysilla pallida. The structures of aplypallidenone (1), aplypallidoxone (2), aplypallidione (3) and aplypallidioxone (4) were elucidated by spectroscopic studies and the crystal structures of aplypallidenone and aplypallidoxone have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure of (1) was refined to a residual of 0·040 for 1665 independent observed reflections and the structure of (2) was refined to a residual of 0·031 for 1699 independent observed reflections. The crystals of (1) are orthorhombic, space group P212121, a 7·728(2), b 10·838(4), c 24·880(5) Å, Z 4. Those of (2) are monoclinic, space group C 2, a 23·927(7), b 6·674(2), c 14·033(3) Å, Z 4.

Abstract By treatment of protonated monoalkyl-closo-hexaborates [B6H6R]-. R = CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, i-C3H7 in aqueous alkaline solution with [As(C6H5)4]Cl the yellow orange deprotonated tetraphenylarsonium salts are precipitated, which react with methyl iodide or ethyl iodide to give dialkylated and protonated B6-compounds. The cisltrans isomers formed in a 1:1 ratio have been separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylam inoethyl cellulose. Repeated deprotonation and reaction with methyl iodide affords mer-[B6H4 (CH3)3]-. The crystal structures of cis-[P(C6H5)4][B6H5(CH3)2] (I), trans-[P(C6H5)4][B6H5(CH3)2] (II) and mer-[P(C6H5)4][B6H4(CH3)3](III) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses; I and II are monoclinic, space group P2/n, I with a = 11.8690(5), b = 7.2575(7), c = 15.8689(3) Å , β = 111.454(17)°; II with a = 13.2853(7), b = 7.4608(8), c = 13.3549(11), β = 93.5(11); III is tetragonal, space group P4/n with a = 13.363(2), c = 7.5051(13). The three methyl substituents are statistically distributed over four equatorial positions of the B6 cage. The 11B NMR spectra of the di- and trialkylated com pounds exhibit shifts of ipso-B atoms to lower, of antipodal-B atoms to higher field compared with [B6H7]-. The IR and Raman spectra of the di- and trimethyl derivatives are similar to those of monom ethylhexaborate.

The crystal structures of mer-(Ph-P)2[ReCl3(NCSe)2cis(SeCN)] (triclinic, space group Pl̅, a = 16.099(1), b = 16.729(3), c =21.026(2) Å, α = 70.194(10), ß = 73.958(10), γ = 83.929(10)°, Z = 4) and mer-(n-Bu4N)2[ReCl3|(NCSe)2cis] (monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 11.838(1), b = 12.796(2), c = 30.767(2) Å, ß = 97.419(6)°, Z = 4) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Based on the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu4N) salts have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are fd(ReN) = 1.79 (1), 1.71 (2), 1.71 (3) and fd(ReSe) = 1.15 (2) mdyn/Å.

The title compounds were obtained from NiS + PPh4Cl + HCl in dichloromethane, from NiCl2 and PPh4Cl and from NiCl2 + Na2S + 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile or CH2Cl2, respectively. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. (PPh4)2[NiCl4]: monoclinic, space group C 2/c, Z = 4, a = 1094.9(3), b = 1946.1(4), c = 2033.5(5) pm, β = 91.48(3)°; R = 0.07 for 2895 unique observed reflexions. [Na-15-crown-5]2[NiCl4]: triclinic, space group P1̄, Z = 2, a = 987.6(1), b = 998.0(1), c = 1779.9(2) pm, α = 104.17(1), β = 95.43(1), γ = 109.95(1)°; R = 0.090 for 4155 unique observed reflexions. In both cases, the [NiCl4]2- ions have distorted tetrahedral structures. With PPh4+ as the cation the distortion corresponds to a twisted tetrahedron which fulfils the point symmetry D2, the deviation from a flattened D2d-tetrahedron being small. In (PPh4)2[NiCl4] cations and anions alternate in layers parallel to (001). In [Na-15-crown-5]2[NiCl4] two of the Cl atoms of the anion are coordinated to sodium ions; one of the crown ether molecules shows positional disorder.

Abstract The crystal structures of [(C5H5N)2CH2][OsCl4(ox)] (monoclinic, space group I2/m, a = 10.260(5), b = 13.841(5), c = 12.273(5) Å, β = 92.050(5)°, Z = 4), [(C5H5N)2CH2][OsBr4(ox)]·H2O(monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 11.666(3),b = 11.591(5), c = 14.926(2) Å, β = 102.45(2)°, Z = 4) and [P(C6H5)4]2 [OsI4(ox)]·2CH2Cl2 (triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 14.597(2), b = 11.9185(9), c = 22.5624(14) Å, α = 80.284(8), β = 78.903(8), γ = 69.432(8)°, Z = 2) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The IR and Raman spectra of the three complexes were measured at room temperature. Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations normal coordinate analyses based on a modified valence force field have been performed and the normal modes of vibration are assigned. With a set of 25 force constants and taking into account the innerligand vibrations a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies has been achieved. The valence force constants of the X-Os-X axis are fd(OsCl) = 1.77, fd(OsBr) = 1.48, fd(OsI) = 1.0 mdyn/Å, of the X′-Os-O• axes are fd(OsCl′) = 1.88, fd(OsBr′) = 1.6, fd(OsI′) =1.1 mdyn/Å and fd(OsO•) ranges from 2.7 to 2.8 mdyn/Å.
