The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of a new cage molecule containing four oxygen, two sulfur, and two nitrogen heteroatoms are described. The structure determination shows that a twist occurs about each (tribenzyl) nitrogen bridgehead so that an overall helical configuration within putative quasi-2 symmetry is generated; both nitrogens have their lone pairs orientatedexo. Single crystals of this compound are homochiral. Semiempirical MO calculations have been used to probe the topological rigidity of this system relative to the more symmetrical analogue incorporating six oxygen and two nitrogen heteroatoms reported previously. The introduction of the sulfur atoms appears to restrict the facile interconversion between enantiomers that was predicted for the N2O6-analogue mentioned above. The implications of the structure for the design of larger cages are discussed.

The synthesis, characterization and X-ray structure of a new cage molecule containing six phenoxy and two nitrogen heteroatoms is reported. Semiempirical MO calculations have been used to probe the topological rigidity of the cage relative to related aliphatic systems.

Abstract The ability of the aromatic tetraaldehyde l,2-bis(4-tert-butyl-2,6-diformylphenylsulfanyl)-ethane (1) to function as a precursor in the preparation of binucleating hexaamine-dithiolate ligands has been investigated. Reductive amination of compound 1 with bis(aminoethyl)amine under medium-dilution conditions affords the macrobicyclic hexaamine-dithioether compound L1. Deprotection of the [1+2] condensation product gives the corresponding 24-membered hexa-amine-dithiophenol ligand H2L2. The formulation of L1 as a macrobicyclic amine-thioether was confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure determination of the tetranuclear nickel(II) complex of L1, [{(L1)Ni2Cl2}2(μ-Cl)3](BPh4) (2b). The formulation of the doubly deprotonated form (L2)2- of H2L2 as a 24-membered amine-thiophenolate ligand was confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure determination of the dinuclear cobalt(III) complex, [(L2)CoIII(μ-OH)](ClO4)2 · Cl (3). The preparation and the crystal structures of the new compounds are described.

Abstract Single crystals of [Mo(CO)3(NCMe)(S′Bu)]2 (1) and [{Mo(CO)3}2{Mo(CO)2}{S′Bu}4] (2) were obtained by the reaction of [Mo(CO)3(NCMe)3] with [(PhCH2)2GaS′Bu]2 in 1,4-dio-xane. The X-ray structure determination of 1 showed the presence of a Mo2S2 four-membe-red ring with a Mo-Mo bond length of 296,7(1) pm. Space group Pbca, Z = 4, lattice dimen­sions at -80°C: a = 1588,2(3), b = 905,8(1), c = 1676,0(1) pm, R1 = 0,0555.

The title compound has been prepared in two different ways: First, by boiling single crystals of [(C2H5)4N]HgCl3 in a mixture of n-hexane/n-octane [4:1] at T = 350 K, and second, in a synthesis from stoichiometric quantities of the components. X-ray structure analysis gave the stoichiometry [(C2H5)4N]2Hg3Cl8, monoclinic, space group P21, a = 7.538(3), b = 19.909(6), c = 10.274(3) Å, β = 95.13(1)°, V = 1535.7(9) A3, Z = 2. The basic [Hg3Cl8]2--units form broken zig-zag chains along [100]. The Hg–Cl distances within the [Hg3Cl8]2- clusters range from 2.315(3) to 2.755(4) Å. This is a new coordination type for halomercurates.
