Single crystal X-ray structure determinations have been executed for several title compounds of the mononuclear form [LMX2], namely [(bpy)ZnX2], X=Cl, Br; [(phen)ZnX2], X=Cl, Br, I (bpy=2,2′-bipyridine; phen=1,10-phenanthroline). Also reported are the crystal structures of ZnSO4/bpy/H2O (1:1:5) (≡ [(bpy)Zn(OH2)4](SO4)·H2O) and Zn(NO3)2/bpy/H2O (1:1:3) (≡ [(bpy)Zn(OH2)3(ONO2)](NO3)). The sulfate complex completes the array [LM(OH2)4]2+, L=bpy, phen, M=Zn, Cd, while the nitrate is the first nitrate example for [LM(OH2)3(OX)](+) (OX=ONO2, OSO3). In all examples of the sulfate and nitrate forms here and previously defined, the metal atoms are six-coordinate, with any anionic donors lying in axial coordination sites (i.e. M–O (quasi-) normal to the LM plane). The structures of [LHg(SCN)2] (L=phen, tpy) (tpy=2,2′:6′,2′-terpyridine), [(tpy)(CdBr2], and [Zn(tpy)2](NO3)2·2H2O are also recorded.

The crystal structures of the 1 : 1 adducts of FeCl3 with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) (1) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (2), as recrystallized from nitromethane, have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by least squares to residuals of 0.038 and 0.032 for 1341 and 3968 'observed' reflections; the result for (2) is a redetermination. Crystals of (1) are orthorhombic, Pbnb, a 15.013(4), b 13.510(5), c 12.471(3) Ǻ, Z 4. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 15.823(5), b 11.021(5), c 8.200(3) Ǻ, α 80.27(3), β 76.78(3), γ 89.64(3)°, Z 2. Both complexes haw the stoichiometry (FeCl3)1(bpy,phen)1, but are formulated as cis-[Fe(bpy,phen)2Cl2] [FeCl4]; in both compounds, the Fe-N distance is c. 2.20, (trans to Cl), 2.1, Ǻ(cis to Cl), while Fe-Cl, c. 2.2, Ǻ, is short. The structure determinations of Fe2Cl6(phen,bpy)3 as [Fe(phen)2Cl2]+ [Fe(phen)Cl4]- (3) and [Fe(bpy)2Cl2]+ [Fe(bpy)Cl4]- (4) are also reported. Compound (3) (from acetonitrile solution) is triclinic, P1, a 16.502(5), b 11.857(3), c 10.653(3) Ǻ, α 84.92(2), β 72.66(2), γ 74.80(2)°, Z 2, and was refined to a residual of 0.034 for 5540 'observed' reflections. The cation geometry is similar to that of (2); in the anion, the two Fe-CI bonds trans to each other are long [2.377(1) and 2.365(1) Ǻ] while those trans to the Fe-N bonds are short [2.287(1) and 2.318(1) Ǻ]. Fe-N distances are 2.216(3) and 2.220(3) A. Compound (4) (as its nitromethane solvate) is also triclinic, P1, a 14.480(7), b 12.645(5), c 10.678(4) Ǻ, α 95.68(3), β 109.21(3), γ 9258(3)°, Z 2; a residual of 0.042 was obtained for 4962 'observed' reflections. Cation and anion metal geometries are similar to those of (3).

The use of 1H NMR spectroscopy, in tandem with X-ray crystallography, has cast light on the conformation of the 1,6-disulfide-bridged derivatives of d-gluco-, d-manno-, d-allo-, d-galacto-, and d-talo-pyranose. A similar investigation was performed on the thiosulfinate derived from the d-gluco disulfide. Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for (1S,5S,6S,7S,8R)-6,7,8-tribenzoyloxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, (1S,5S,6S,7R,8R)-6,7,8-tribenzoyloxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, and (1S,2S,5S,6S,7S,8R)-6,7,8-triacetoxy-9-oxa-2,3-dithiabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane 2-oxide.

Following the suggestion made earlier, on the basis of solution spectroscopy, that a number of eriostyl/nitrobenzoate compounds form charge-transfer self-complexes, a number of these have been investigated structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods in order to ascertain the presence or otherwise of such interactions in the solid state. The substances thus studied were eriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (1), eriostyl p-nitrobenzoate (2), tetrahydroeriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (3), and eriostemyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (4);* structure determinations in all cases, although displaying the presence of strong charge-transfer interactions from the two moieties of each molecule, show that the interactions in the solid state are intermolecular in nature.

The title compounds are 3-aza[6](1,7)-naphthalenophanes with 3-Me and 3-CO2Me substituents, C18H23NO2 and C19H23NO4; in the former the chemical shift of the naphthalene hydrogen enclosed by the medium nitrogen-containing ring is the highest yet observed in a derivative of this type ( σ 9.33). In order to examine the environment of this hydrogen atom and the expected associated naphthalene ring distortions in both compounds, single-crystal X-ray structure determinations have been carried out at 295 K showing the transannular H…N distance in the methyl derivative to be remarkably short at 2.08(2) � . Crystals are triclinic, P1, a 11.683(3), b 10.846(3), c 6.729(2) �, α 90.08(2), β 93.33(2), γ 112.88 Z 2; R was 0.041 for 1378 'observed' reflections. Crystals of the 3-CO2Me derivative are also triclinic, P1, a 12.587(9), b 10.650(4), c 6.758(3) � , a 91.91(3), β 100.51(4), γ 104.74(5)° Z 2; R 0.067 for 1267 'observed' reflections.

The crystal structures of [Cu(Pme3)4]X (X = Cl , Br, I) and of [M(PPh3)4] [PF6] (M = Cu, Ag) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K. The former compounds contain nearly tetrahedral [Cu(PMe3)4]+ ions on sites of m symmetry with mean Cu-P bond lengths of 2.270, 2.271 and 2.278 Ǻ for X = Cl , Br and I respectively. The latter compounds contain [M(PPh3)4]+ ions on sites of 3 symmetry. In the M =Ag complex the coordination environment is close to tetrahedral, but in the M =Cu complex the length of the axial Cu-P bond [2.465(2)Ǻ] is significantly shorter than that of the off-axis bonds [2.566(2)Ǻ]. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

Hitherto, phosphorus oxonitride (PON) could not be obtained in the form of single crystals and only powder diffraction experiments were feasible for structure studies. In the present work we have synthesized two polymorphs of phosphorus oxonitride, cristobalite-type (cri-PON) and coesite-type (coe-PON), in the form of single crystals and reinvestigated their crystal structures by means of in house and synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures ofcri-PON andcoe-PON are built from PO2N2tetrahedral units, each with a statistical distribution of oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The crystal structure of thecoe-PON phase has the space groupC2/cwith seven atomic sites in the asymmetric unit [two P and three (N,O) sites on general positions, one (N,O) site on an inversion centre and one (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis], while thecri-PON phase possesses tetragonalI-42dsymmetry with two independent atoms in the asymmetric unit [the P atom on a fourfold inversion axis and the (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis]. In comparison with previous structure determinations from powder data, all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, leading to higher precision in terms of bond lengths and angles.

Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of the title compounds at 295 K are reported. For (1), (NH4)2(AgI3)∞/∞.H2O, the structure is isomorphous with that reported previously for K2AgI3, being orthorhombic, Pbnm , a 21.20(2), b 10.84(1), c 4.629(3)Ǻ, Z 4, R 0.032 for 1211 'observed' independent reflections. Locations and refinement of an artefact modelled as a water molecule raises the possibility that other members of the isomorphous series may be monohydrates rather than anhydrous. (NMe4)(Ag2I3)∞/∞, (2), is orthorhombic, Pnam , a 17.760(7), b 10.077(4), c 7.431(2)Ǻ, Z 4, R 0.043 for 977 'observed' independent reflections; the structure is a redetermination of better precision confirming the essential features of an earlier study and treating the cation in terms of an ordered rather than a disordered model.

The crystal structures of [(en)2NiCl2Ni(en)2] Cl2 (1) and [(en)2NiCl2Ni(en)2] (ClO4)2 (2) have been redetermined from single- crystal X-ray diffraction data at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to residuals of 0.073 and 0.052 respectively for 1345 and 1605 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 14.053(4), b 11.309(3), c 6.326(1) Ǻ, β 94.22(2)�, Z 2. Crystals of (2) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 8.885(12), 6 19.707(20), c 7.120(8) Ǻ, β 108.99(4)�, Z 2. In both (1) and (2), a dimeric complex cation is observed, a pair of cis coordination sites about the nickel in each case being occupied by the bridging chlorines; the latter are asymmetric (Ni-Cl, 2.461(3), 2.551(3)(1); 2.461(3), 2.512(3) Ǻ (2)).
