The compound Lco2Br3,2H2O (where L is a binucleating ligand derived from the macrocycle LH2 formed by condensation of two molecules each of propane-1,3-diamine and 2-hydroxy-5- methylisophthalaldehyde) was found to occur in two crystalline forms. The structures of both have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, revealing that each corresponds to a different geometrical isomer of composition Lco2Br3,2H2O. Each structure was determined by the conventional Patterson-Fourier method and refined by a least-squares procedure, with only the Co, Br, N and O atoms being refined anisotropically. The first form, designated the A-isomer, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pn21a with four formula units in a cell of dimensions a 15.173(1), b 17.370(2) and c 10.493(1) Ǻ. The structure refined to a conventional R-factor of 0.074 by means of 1883 unique reflections collected by counter methods. The second form, or B-isomer, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with two formula units in a cell of dimen- sions a 10.676(1), b 15.235(2), c 9.304(1) Ǻ and β 111.83(2)°. The structure refined to a conventional R-factor of 0.101 by means of 2006 independent reflections collected by counter methods. Both isomers are composed of discrete bromide anions together with discrete binuclear cations of com- position [Lco2Br2,2H2O]+, each containing one cobalt(II) and one cobalt(III) atom with a Co...Co distance of 3.13 Ǻ. In both isomers the cobalt atoms are in octahedral environments. In the A-isomer two bromine atoms are bonded to the cobalt(III) atom in positions perpendicular to the ligand N2O2 donor plane, with the two water molecules occupying similar positions about the cobalt((II). But in the B-isomer, one water molecule and one bromine atom are bonded to each of the cobalt(III) and the cobalt((II) atoms in the comparable positions. In both structures the ionic bromide is involved in a hydrogen-bonding scheme with the coordinated water molecules.

The crystal structures of the title compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The molecule of the Z isomer, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 4 in a cell of dimensions a = 14.891 (2), b = 10.780(2), c = 8.769(1) Å, β = 97.47(2)°, V = 1395.7(7) Å3 has crystallographic twofold symmetry. The E form crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 11.730(1), b = 6.932(1), c = 16.841(1) Å, V = 1369.4(2) Å3 and Z = 4. Its molecules have crystallographically dictated [Formula: see text] symmetry. In both isomers the phenyl rings are roughly perpendicular to the average ethylene plane. The atoms characterizing this plane show significant deviations from planarity in the Z isomer. Marked bond-angle distortions at the ethene carbons of both structures are observed. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the compounds were measured and, particularly in the case of the 1H chemical shifts, fall into two quite separate spectral regions. At low temperature, two conformational isomers, those with different relative orientation of the C—Cl bonds of the phenyl rings, are observed in the spectrum of each compound. Keywords: chlorostilbenes, overcrowded molecules. X-ray structure, conformations, NMR spectroscopy.

Reaction of CH3HgOH with thymidine (HT) yielded the neutral CH3HgT complex crystallizing as a hydrated or an anhydrous material, depending on preparation conditions. Both forms were examined by X-ray diffraction. The anhydrous variety is monoclinic, space group P21, a = 4.798(6), b = 14.270(8), c = 10.390(4) Å, β = 102.74(9)°, and Z = 2 molecules per cell. The structure was refined on 1552 nonzero MoKα reflections to a conventional R factor of 0.034. The hydrated form belongs to the orthorhombic space group P212121, a = 10.484(3), b = 14.633(3), c = 18.538(5), Z = 8. The structure was refined on 1816 nonzero MoKα reflections to R = 0.036. In both forms, the CH3Hg+ ion is linearly bonded to the deprotonated N(3) site of thymidine. The water molecules and hydroxyl groups in the ribose unit participate in a hydrogen bonding network, in which the carbonyl groups are involved as acceptors. The infrared spectra of the two forms differ significantly only by the absorptions due to the water molecules. By comparing with the spectrum of thymidine, diagnostic regions for complexation with deprotonated thymidine have been proposed

The crystal and molecular structure of LCo2Br2,CH3OH (where LH2 represents the macrocycle obtained by condensation of two molecules each of propane-1,3-diamine and 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-isophthalaldehyde) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with two molecules in a cell of dimensions a 9.8723(5), b 16.891(1), c 8.0745(5)Ǻ and 102.06(1)�. Counter methods were used to collect the 2004 independent reflections above background and the structure was refined by least-squares methods to a conventional R-factor of 0.049. The structure is molecular, consisting of discrete binuclear units LCo2Br2,CH3OH, containing two cobalt(II) atoms separated by 3.158(2) Ǻ. Each cobalt atom is in an identical pseudo-square-pyramidal environment, in agreement with the conclusion drawn from the electronic spectrum of the complex, with an N2O2 basal plane and a bromine atom coordinated at the apex. The methanol molecule is disordered and partially occupies the sixth coordination site of each cobalt, with a long bond of 2.503(9) Ǻ between the cobalt and the methanol oxygen atom. The central carbon atom of the propane-1,3-diamine residue is also disordered, occupying partially each of two positions.

The acid crystallizes in a monoclinic cell, space group P21/c with a 6.207(2), b 19.363(8), c 6.999(2) Ǻ, β 114.81(2)� and Z 4. The molecules form planar, centrosymmetric , hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O...O, 2.618(4)Ǻ]. Complex (1) is orthorhombic, space group P2cb with two molecules in a cell of dimensions a 5.621 (2), b 17.218(7), c 13.288(6)Ǻ while (2) is monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 6.597(2), b 5.279(2), c 30.079(10) Ǻ, β 94.65(3)�; with Z 2. Complex (1) has square-pyramidal geometry with the basal plane containing two trans related carboxyl oxygens [Cu-O, 1.944(4)Ǻ] and two trans related pyridine nitrogens [Cu-N, 2.030(5)Ǻ]. A water molecule occupies the apex of the square pyramid [Cu-OW, 2.199(8)Ǻ]. Complex (2) has octahedral geometry with the MO6 octahedron containing two trans related carboxyl oxygens [Zn-O, 2.122(2)Ǻ] and four water oxygens [Zn-OW, 2.069(2), 2.085(2)Ǻ]. Preliminary X-ray data also confirm that the magnesium(II) and manganese(II) complexes of 2-fluorophenoxyacetic acid are isomorphous with (2) but different from the cobalt(II) derivative.

The structures of two crystalline modifications of mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-cis-Cl2IrIII, (1), have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Modification (A) is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 12.635(1), b 30.605(3), c 14.992(2)Ǻ, β 110.01(2)° and Z = 8. Modification (B) is orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a 27.646(3), b 11.366(1), c 17.252(2)Ǻ and Z = 8. The structures were solved by conventional heavy atom techniques and refined by full-matrix least- squares analyses to conventional R values of 0.037 [(A), 8845 independent reflections] and 0.028 [(B), 5291 independent reflections]. Important bond lengths [Ǻ] are Ir -P(trans to Cl ) 2.249(1) av. (A) and 2.234(1) (B), Ir -P(trans to PMe2Ph) 2.339(2) av. (A) and 2.344(1), 2.352(1) (B), Ir-Cl (trans to H) 2.492(2), 2.518(2) (A) and 2.503(1) (B) and Ir-Cl (trans to PMe2Ph)2.452(2) av. (A) and 2.449(1)(B). Differences in chemically equivalent metal- ligand bond lengths emphasize the importance of non-bonded contacts in determining those lengths.

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.

1,4-Dibromobenzene melts at a considerably higher temperature than the 1,2- and 1,3-isomers. This melting-point difference is consistent with the molecular symmetry, as described by Carnelley's rule, and with the frequency of Br...Br halogen bonds. The lowest melting point of 1,3-dibromobenzene correlates with its two symmetry-independent molecules, indicating their inability to pack closely. Single crystals of 1,2- and 1,3-dibromobenzene have been grown under isochoric conditions in a diamond–anvil cell and at isobaric conditions in a glass capillary. Their structures have been determinedin situby X-ray diffraction. At 295 K 1,2-dibromobenzene crystallizes at 0.2 GPa as orthorhombic, space groupPbca,Z′ = 1, and 1,3-dibromobenzene at 0.3 GPa as orthorhombic, space groupP212121,Z′ = 2. The same crystal phases are formed at ambient pressure by freezing these liquids below 256.15 and 248.45 K, respectively. The third isomer, 1,4-dibromobenzene, is a solid at room temperature and crystallizes as monoclinic, space groupP21/a. Striking relations between the structures and melting points of the corresponding dibromobenzene and dichlorobenzene isomers have been discussed.

Abstract The molecular motion in (CH3)3XCl, X = Sn and Pb has been investigated by measurement of the second moment M2(1H) as function of temperature in the range 95 < T,/K<345. The methyl groups in both compounds rotate freely over the whole temperature range studied. In (CH3)3SnCl the C'3-rotation of (CH3)3Sn-group about the Sn CI axis sets in above 273 K. To explain the NMR and INS results, the crystal structures of (CH3)3PbCl and CH3SnBr3 were determined by single X-ray diffraction. (CH3)3PbCl crystallizes in a monoclinic space group C32-C2, a = 1276.7(3) pm, b = 982.3(3) pm, c = 547.0(2) pm, ß = 91.12(1)°; Z = 4, R = 0.035. CH3SnBr3 crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group D162h-Pnma, a = 643.0(3) pm, b= 1005.3(4) pm, c= 1148.0(4) pm; Z = 4, R =0.057
