X-ray analysis has defined the conformational detail in crystals of picrotoxinin, C15H1606. Crystals are monoclinic: space group PZ1, a 7.719(1), b 12.004(3), c 14.693(4), Ǻ β 98.06(1)7#176; and Z 4. The structure was solved by direct methods with diffractometer data measured with Cu Kα radiation. Refinement converged at R 0.037 for the 2220 observed terms. The two molecules in the asymmetric unit have essentially identical conformations consistent with one of the two alternative low energy conformations deduced from classical potential energy and molecular orbital calculations.

The crystal structure of 1,4-diphenyl-2,2′,3,3′,5,5′,6,6′-octamethylcyclo-1,4-diphospha-2,3,5,6-tetrasilahexane, (PhPSi2Me4)2, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 9.866(1), b = 11.921(1), and c = 11.324(2) Å, β = 104.31(1)°, Z = 2, and ρcalcd = 1.15 g/cm3. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.060 and Rw of 0.078, for 1173 reflections with intensities greater than 3σ. The (PhPSi2Me4)2 molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, and the six-membered P2Si4 ring has a chair conformation with equatorial phenyl groups. The endocyclic angles at P (104.4(1)°) and Si (104.9(2)°) are intermediate between those found in cyclic hexaphosphine and hexasilane molecules, and the Si—Si and P—Si distances of 2.345(3) and 2.252(4) Å, respectively, correspond to single bond lengths, with no appreciable evidence for secondary pπ → dπ bonding between phosphorus and silicon. The Si—C (1.867(8) Å) and P—C (1.828(7) Å) bond lengths are also normal. The variations in the Si—P—C (101.6(2)°, 108.6(2)°), P—Si—C (range 106.2(3)–120.0(3)°), and Si—Si—C (range 105.8(3)–113.7(3)°) angles indicate that the positions of the exocyclic methyl and phenyl groups are influenced by both intra- and intermolecular steric forces.

Protonation of the trisulphur trinitride ion, S3N3−, with tetrafluoroboric acid yields the ring-contracted S-amino thiodithiazyl salt, S3N2NH2+BF4−. The crystal and molecular structure of this salt has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with a = 5.445(2), b = 7.346(3), c = 9.473(5) Å, α = 85.89(4), β = 83.92(3), γ = 82.13(3)°, V = 372.6(4) Å3, Dc = 2.02 g cm−3, and Z = 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to give a final R = 0.060. The structure of the five-membered ring with a single exocyclic NH2 group bonded to sulphur is discussed in relation to other S3N2NR derivatives. The reasons for the instability of six-membered rings of the type S3N3R are discussed in the light of MNDO molecular orbital calculations on an S3N3H model.

The reaction of tetrasulphur dinitride with norbornadiene produces the 1:1 adduct S4N2•C7H8; X-ray crystallographic analysis of this compound reveals that olefin addition cleaves one of the sulphur–sulphur bonds of S4N2, yielding a novel eight-membered C2S4N2 ring. Crystals of S4N2•C7H8 are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 6.127(1), b = 17.369(1), c = 9.580(1) Å, β = 106.74(1)°, V = 1003.8(5) Å3Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.039. The S—S—N—S—N—S fragment of the C2S4N2 ring is planar to within 0.15 Å. The S—C—C—S unit is folded out of this plane to produce a dihedral angle of 74.5°.

The reaction of norbornadiene with (triphenylphosphoranediyl)aminocyclotrithiatriazene produces the cycloadduct Ph3PN—S3N3•C7H8. The crystal and molecular structure of this compound has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of Ph3PN—S3N3•C7H8 are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 9.757(1), b = 15.114(1), c = 16.535(2) Å, β = 100.73(1)°, V = 2395.7(9) Å3, and Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by Fourier and full-matrix least-squares procedures to give a final R of 0.040 and Rw of 0.058 for 2620 observed reflections. The structure reveals that the S3N3 ring adds to norbornadiene in an exo fashion via two sulphur atoms. The S3N3 ring adopts a chair conformation with the three ligands occupying axial positions on the same side of the ring. The relative rates of this and other cycloadditions involving SN substrates and olefins are discussed in terms of the energies of the interacting frontier orbitals. The results suggest that HOMO(olefin)–LUMO(SN substrate) interactions control the kinetics of these reactions.

Abstract The novel tri-nuclear metal-sulfur cluster [Mo3S(S2)6]2- can be obtained as its ammonium salt by the reaction of a Moiv containing aqueous solutions with polysulfide. Its crystal and molecular structure has been determined by a single crystal X-ray study. The crystals are monoclinic (space group Cm, with a = 11.577(6) Å, b = 16.448(7) Å, c = 5.716(2) Å, β = 117.30(3)°, V = 967.2 Å3 , Z = 2, dexptl. = 2.54(2) g/cm3 , dcal = 2.54 g/cm3). The structure consists of isolated [Mo3S(S2)6]2- units, with three Mo atoms at the vertices of a triangle. There are bridging as well as terminal S22--ligands lying above and below the Mo3-plane (bond distances: Mo-Mo = 2.722 Å, Mo-S(terminal) = 2.435, Mo-S(bridging) = 2.452, Mo3-S = 2.353(4) Å and S-S = 2.04 Å (mean values)).

The manganese(II) complex [Mn(picl)2,2H2O]n of the herbicide picloram has been prepared and the crystal and molecular structure determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected by counter methods. The crystals of the complex are monoclinic, space group 12/a with two complex units in a cell of dimensions a 23·052(5), b 13·840(2), c 6·441(1) �, β 98·20(1)�. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full matrix least squares to unweighted and weighted Rfactors of 0·035 and 0·038 respectively for 887 'observed' reflections. The polymer is best described as having a centrosymmetric two-molecule unit [Mn-O, 2·162(3), 2·246(3) �] with two oxo bridges between manganese centres through two single carboxylate oxygens of the four substituted picolinate ligands. The two molecules are related by a twofold axis. The units form infinite one-dimensional polymer chains in the c direction through oxo bridges involving one oxygen from the other two picolinate ligands [Mn-Mn 3·636(1)�]. The bis(bidentate)picolinate bites are completed by the pyridlne nitrogens [Mn-N, 2·313(4) �] giving a very distorted octahedral MnO4N2 coordination sphere about each manganese [N-Mn-N', 97.0(3)�; O-Mn-O range, 68·9-168.2(3)�; O-Mn-Nrange, 69·9-138·5(3)�]. The lattice waters are involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions which link the polymer in the a crystallographic direction with the uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen ( O···O,2·824, 2·936 �) and the 4-amino groups from the adjacent picolinate ligand (N· ··0, 2·852, 3·030�).

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.
