The structures of three bis(diamine)nickel(II) complexes, chosen to shed light on the van der Waals radius of nickel(II), are described. [Ni(cis-1,3-chxn)2]Cl2 (cis-1,3-chxn = cis-cyclohexane-1,3-diamine) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a 6.397(2), b 16.463(4), c 7.229(2) Å, b 90.70(2)�, and its structure has been refined to an R value of 0.031 on 1214F. [Ni{(R)-tmdz}2]Cl2�H2O (tmdz = 5,5,7-trimethyl-1,4-diazacycloheptane) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121, with a 10.678(1), b 11.073(5), c 17.968(6) Å, and its structure has been refined to an R value of 0.031 on 1586F. [Ni(dmdz)2](ClO4)2 (dmdz = 5,7-dimethyl-1,4-diaza- cycloheptane) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a 9.582(1), b 10.390(2), c 11.817(3) Å, β 96.19(2)�, and its structure has been refined to an R value of 0.059 on 817F. In all three structures, short Ni���H and Ni���C interactions, ranging from 2.37 to 2.61 Å and 2.99 to 3.03 Å, respectively, are observed. Using molecular mechanics modelling to reproduce these separations, we have arrived at a van der Waals radius of 1.35 Å for low-spin nickel(ii). Analysis of Ni���O contacts in the solid state leads to a van der Waals radius of about 1.26 Å, which is consistent with the molecular mechanics derived value since these are usually longer.

The preparation and solid state characterization of the bifunctional radical furan-2,5-bis(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN2S2)] and the related monofunctional radical 2-cyanofuran-5-(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN)] are described. The crystal structure of 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN2S2)] is orthorhombic, space group Pna21, and consists of interleaved arrays of dimers, for which the mean interannular [Formula: see text] contact is 3.137 Å. The crystal structure of the monofunctional radical 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN)] is monoclinic, space group P21/n, and consists of a ribbon-like network of dimers (mean interannular [Formula: see text] interconnected by close head-to-tail [Formula: see text] contacts. The dimer units form stacks parallel to z, with a mean interdimer [Formula: see text] separation of 3.956 Å. The similarities and differences between these two crystal structures and those of related benzene-substituted systems are discussed. Keywords: dithiadiazolyl radicals, furan-based diradicals, cyanofuran-based radicals, radical dimers, crystal structures.

The crystal structures of (-)487-[Co(taetacn)] (ClO4)3 [taetacn = 1,4,7-tri(2-aminoethy1)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane] and (+)490-[Co(nosartacn)] (S2O6)3/2.4H2O (nosartacn = 9-nitro-1,4,7,11,14,19- hexaazatricyclo[7.7.4.24.14]docosane) have been determined. Crystals of the former complex (1) are cubic, space group P213, a 13.168(5) �, whereas the latter (2) are orthorhombic, space group C2221, a 10.22(1), b 6.944(8), c 32.33(1) �. The structures were refined by blocked-matrix least-squares methods to R factors of 0.040 and 0.050 on 952 and 2318 F respectively. The absolute configurations and conformations are described as Δ(λδ) for (1) and Λ(λδ) for (2). Molecular mechanics studies of conformers of both complexes show that the solid-state geometries are the most energetically favourable, and that other possible conformers are destabilized by coupling of the five-membered chelate rings through the tertiary nitrogen atoms.

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.

The reactions of N-substituted dithiocarbamic acid esters and nickel acetate yield, by partial degradation of the esters, the polynuclear nickel thiolato complexes cyclo-[(μ-SMe)2Ni]6, 1 and [(μ-SMe)2(Ni(MeNHCS2))2, 2. Their crystal structures have been determined. The Ni coordination spheres are comprised of four sulfur atoms in a planar arrangement. 1 is a second, highly symmetrical modification of the already known cyclic hexamer Ni6(SMe)12. In 2 two Ni(PhNHCS2) moieties are bridged to dimers by thiolato groups. Two of these dimers are connected to a tetramer by weak axial Ni-S interactions. Crystal data for 1: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 986.1(2), b = 1308.1(3), c = 1228.6(2) pm, β = 96.07(3)°, Z = 2, R = 0.072, Rw = 0.062, 3797 reflections. 2: orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 1790.0(4), b = 1806.7(4), c = 934.4(2) pm. Z = 4, R = 0.061, Rw = 0.051, 2079 reflections

PPh3Au(tolN5tol) is obtained by the reaction of PPh3Au+ClO4- with Tl(tolN5tol). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with the lattice parameters a = 1548.8(5), b = 1070.7(2), c = 1779.1(3) pm, β = 90.33(2)°, Z = 4. In the monomeric complex the gold atom is nearly linearcoordinated by the phosphorus atom of the PPh3 group and nitrogen atom N3 of the pentaazadienido ligand ( N3 - Au - P 178.4°). tolNN(NCH3)NNtol crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pccn with the lattice constants a = 2426.7(9), b = 469.3(2), c = 1195.3(4) pm. The unit cell contains four molecules, located on twofold axes. Due to the isolobality of the CH3 and the PPh3Au group, the two structures are closely related. Both contain the typical planar zig-zag chain of five nitrogen atoms with located double bonds N1-N2 and N4 - N5 (from 119.8 to 126.6 pm) and shortened single bonds N2 - N3 and N3 - N4 (132.7 to 140.0 pm).

Abstract The 79Br and 127I NQR spectra were investigated for 1,2-diammoniumethane dibromide, -diiodide, 1,3-diammoniumpropane dibromide, -diiodide, piperazinium dibromide monohydrate, and piperazinium monoiodide in the temperature range 77 ≦ T/K ≦ 420. Phase transitions could be observed for the three iodides. The temperatures for the phase transitions are: 400 K and 404 K for 1,2-diammoniumethane diiodide, 366 K for 1,3-diammoniumpropane diiodide, and 196 K for piperazinium monoiodide.The crystal structures were determined for the piperazinium compounds. Piperazinium dibromide monohydrate crystallizes monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a= 1148.7 pm, 0 = 590.5 pm, c= 1501.6pm, β = 118.18°, and Z = 4. For piperazinium monoiodide the orthorhombic space group Pmn 21 was found with a = 958.1 pm, b = 776.9 pm, c = 989.3 pm, Z = 4. Hydrogen bonds N - H ... X with X = Br, I were compared with literature data.

The solid-state structures of alkali-metal salt complexes of crown ether tetra- and hexa-carboxylic acids (18C6A4 and 18C6A6) have been determined. The sodium salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the trihydrate in orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 7.6868(12), b = 15.429(3), c = 21.975(2) Å, R = 0.031 for 5192 observed data); the potassium salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the the trihydrate in orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 7.6711(8), b = 15.709(2), c = 21.966(5) Å, R = 0.035 for 2521 observed data); the thallium(I) salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the dihydrate in orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 12.0331(10), b = 12.4333(12), c = 17.366(2) Å, R = 0.035 for 4952 observed data); and the cesium salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21 (a = 7.708(3), b = 13.492(2), c = 11.9501(9) Å, β = 94.49(2)°, R = 0.029 for 4480 observed data). The sodium salt of 18C6A4 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21 (a = 11.4368(11), b = 7.7068(11), c = 12.6579(12) Å, β = 98.515(8)°, R = 0.035 for 3000 observed data); the thallium(I) salt of 18C6A4 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21(a = 11.719(2), b = 7.668(2), c = 12.8403(13) Å, β = 99.052(9)°, R = 0.040 for 3981 observed data); and the cesium salt of 18C6A4 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21 (a = 11.787(2), b = 7.637(2), c = 13.001(2) Å, β = 98.705(12)°, R = 0.038 for 3428 observed data). Both chorands exhibit a cooperative relationship of mean cavity radius and guest-ion radius, which closely follows the effective ionic radii of the guests. The hexaacid is a preorganized host for monohydrated cations. It provides a trigonal hydrogen bonding receptor site for the water molecule, and up to nine oxygen donors for cation binding. Guests ranging in size from Na+ to Cs+ are accommodated without distortion of the macrocyclic framework. The tetraacid is similarly tolerant of a range of guests, but greater structural reorganization of the ligand is required to optimize contacts with fully dehydrated cations. Skeletal drawings of donor atoms, in conjunction with polar coordinate maps of torsion angles, reveal how the demands of the guest are accommodated by the host.

Abstract X-ray structure determinations have been performed on single crystals of trans-(Ph4P)2-[B6H4I2] (1) (triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 9.9680(12), b = 10.9690(11), c = 11.0470(14) Å,α = 88.167(9), β = 80.466(12), γ = 68.839(11)°, Z = 1), mer-(Ph4P)2[B6H3I3] · 2 CH2Cl2 (2)(triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 11.8694(11), b = 15.1699(13), c = 17.051(2) Å, α = 75.118(9), β = 71.953(10), γ = 69.331(8)°, Z = 2), trans-(Ph4P )2[B6H2I4] · 2 CH3CN (3) (monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 14.9665(10), b = 7.6783(10), c = 23.385(3) Å, β = 95.78(9)°, Z = 2), and (CH2Py2)[B6HI5] (4) (orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 13.660(2), b = 11.8711(13), c = 13.839(2) Å, Z = 4). The B6 octahedra are compressed in the direction of the B-I bonds, resulting in shortened diagonal B ··· B distances with average values of the groups I-B ··· B-I = 2.37 and I-B ··· B-H = 2.43 Å as compared with H-B ··· B-H = 2.49 Å.

The structures of O-acetyl-(4R)-4-(E-2-butyl)-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (1) and O-acetyl-(4R)-4-[E-2-(4-bromobutyl)]-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (2) were determined by X-ray diffraction methods and compared with the structure of related cyclosporins. In contrast to expectation, neither the acetylation nor the subsequent bromination of 1 affects the conformation and packing of cyclosporins in the solid state. Both compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 12.936(2) Å, b = 15.590(2) Å, c = 36.280(3) Å, and a = 12.916(3) Å, b = 15.675(4) Å, c = 36.715(7) Å, for 1 and 2, respectively.
