Crystals of the syn-perchloroheptafulvalene isomer, C14Cl12, crystallize in the space group C2/c with a 12.376(6), b 10.980(4), c 15.242(4)Ǻ and β 100.54(3)°. The structure analysis of the isomer indicates molecular packing disorder into two orientations about the centre of symmetry. In the final full-matrix least-squares refinement the conventional R value converged at 0.042. Formation of the syn isomer is most likely to proceed through the perchloroheptatrienyl anion which can dimerize and form syn-perchloroheptafulvalene by cis elimination of lithium chloride.

The crystal structure of Mg2As2O7 has been refined by full matrix least squares procedures using 587 observed reflections. The structure of Mg2As2O7 is of the thortveitite type, as reported by Łukaszewicz, with space group C2/m and unit cell dimensions a = 6.567(2) Å, b = 8.524(4) Å, c = 4.739(1) Å, β = 103.8(1)°, and Z = 2. The As—O—As group in the anion appears to be linear but the central oxygen atom undergoes considerable disorder in the plane perpendicular to this group. The AsO bond distances uncorrected for thermal motion are 1.67 Å for the As—O(—As) bond and 1.66 and 1.65 Å for the terminal As—O bonds. The final R value obtained is 0.088.

The spectroscopic properties of thiobinupharidine and its isomer, neothiobinupharidine, of established structure, have been examined and compared. From this study it was possible to deduce the structure and relative configuration of the alkaloid. The structure has been firmly established and the absolute configuration determined by the study of the crystal structure of thiobinupharidine dihydrobromide dihydrate, C30H42O2N2S•2HBr•2H2O. The crystals are orthorhombic with space group C2221, a = 25.128(6), b = 9.869(2), c = 26.380(6) Å, and Z = 8. The structure was refined, using full-matrix least-squares techniques with 1934 reflections, to a final R value of 0.097. The thiobinupharidine moiety hydrogen bonds to one of two types of H2O–Br–H2O spiral chains in the structure. The tetrahydrothiophene ring is distorted from planarity, and this together with the nonequivalence of the S and C atoms in the ring causes the molecule to deviate from C2 symmetry

The synthesis and coordinating properties of the tridentate tris-chelating ligand, methyl tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)gallate, MeGa(N2C5H7)3−, are described. Carbonyl and nitrosyl carbonyl compounds of manganese, molybdenum, and tungsten incorporating this ligand are detailed. The ready conversion of the above ligand to the less sterically demanding tris-chelating 'hydroxy' ligand [MeGa(N2C5H7)2(OH)]− occurs in attempted syntheses of the 'η3-allyl' complexes, [MeGa(N2C5H7)3]M(CO)2'η3-allyl', (where M = Mo or W, 'η3-allyl' = η3-C3H5, η3-C4H7). The tridentate chelating nature of this 'hydroxy' ligand is conclusively demonstrated in the crystal structure determination of the complex, [MeGa(N2C5H7)2(OH)]-Mo(CO)2(η3-C4H7). Crystals of this complex are monoclinic, a = 14.020(4), b = 10.110(1), c = 15.493(7) Å, β = 111.58(3)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.40 and Rw of 0.043 for 3374 reflections with I ≥ 3.5σ(I).

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.

The structure of ferric phosphate at room temperature was refined on a Dauphiné-twinned crystal using full-matrix least-squares methods. The final R value was 0.078 for 487 symmetry-independent reflections whose intensities were corrected for twinning. The structure was found to be isotypic with AlPO4 (berlinite) with the space group P3121 and four formula units in a unit cell defined by a = 5.036(2) and c = 11.255(4) Å. The structure is also closely related to that of α-quartz with a nearly doubled c-axis because of the ordering of Fe and P atoms. The PO4 tetrahedron is almost regular with a mean P—O distance of 1.526 Å. The Fe3+ ion is tetrahedrally coordinated with an average Fe—O distance of 1.853 Å.

Crystals of synthetic Mg-whitlockite, Ca18Mg2H2(PO4)14, have been grown by hydrothermal techniques and their structure refined by full-matrix least-squares methods, using 1626 unique reflections measured with a Syntex [Formula: see text] automatic diffractometer, to a final R value of 0.046. The crystals have space group R3c with ZR = 1, a = 13.765(8) Å and α = 44.25(5)° with the equivalent hexagonal parameters a = 10.350(5), c = 37.085(12) Å and ZH = 3. The structure, although similar to that of βCa3(PO4)2, differs significantly. The structure contains interconnected infinite chains of polyhedra paralleling the hexagonal c axis with links in the chains consisting of three CaO8 polyhedra separated by two PO4 tetrahedra. Six of these chains surround a chain of MgO6 octahedra and PO4H groups which lie on the three-fold axes. These chains however contain only half the formula unit density of the calcium containing ones and a proton, presumably disordered, is attached to the oxygen atom on the triad axes.

The crystal structure of tetraethylammonium bromopentacarbonyltungstate (0), [NEt4] [W(CO)5Br], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 22�1°C. Crystals are tetragonal, space group P4/n, with a 9.206(2), c 10.484(2) Ǻ, and Z 2. Full-matrix least-squares refinement gave a final R value of 0.034 for 820 independent reflections. The [W(CO)5Br]- anion possesses exact C4v symmetry, with bond lengths W-Br 2.736(1), W-COtrans 1.93(1) and W-COcis 2.034(6) Ǻ.

The stereochemistry of 3a, one of the 2-acetyl-3,5,6-trihydroxy-5,6-dimethylcyclohexenones, obtained by rearrangement of 2,3-diacetyl-4-hydroxy-4-methylcyclopentenone, 2a, under basic conditions, was determined by an X-ray crystal structure analysis. An ORTEP plot shows the configuration of (5RS,6RS)-2-acetyl-3,5,6-trihydroxy-5,6-dimethylcyclohexenone and the presence of a conjugated chelated system involving the H-bonding between O(3)… H(31) and H(31)… O(2).Crystals of 3a are triclinic, a = 10.979(4), b = 7.766(3), c = 6.382(3) Å, α = 86.23(2), β = 72.86(1), γ = 88.23(2)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.039 for 1324 reflections with I > 3σ(I).The structure of 3a consists of centrosymmetric dimers which contain a nearly planar bicyclic system of a cyclohexenone moiety and a chelated system (Scheme 2).The pathway of the reaction allows one to put forward some hypothesis on the stereochemistry of some analogues of the cyclohexenones 3a and 3b.Faisant appel à la diffraction des rayons-X, on a déterminé la stéréochimie du composé 3a, une des acétyl-2 trihydroxy-3,5,6 diméthyl-5,6 cyclohexénones obtenues par une transposition de la diacétyl-2,3 hydroxy-4 méthyl-4 cyclopenténone, 2a, en milieu alcalin. Une courbe ORTEP démontre que la configuration est (5RS,6RS) pour l'acétyl-2 trihydroxy-3,5,6 diméthyl-5,6 cyclohexénone et qu'il existe un système de chélation conjugué impliquant des liaisons hydrogènes entre O(3)… H(31) et H(31)… O(2).

Crystals of BaNaPO4 were grown from a Ba3P2O8–Na2B4O7 melt. The crystals are trigonal, space group [Formula: see text]with a = 5.622(4) and c = 7.259(5) Å. The structure, isotypic with that of glaserite, was refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to a final R value of 0.042 using 218 unique reflections. There are three different cation sites. Na and Ba lie at sites of [Formula: see text] symmetry and are coordinated to 6 and 12 oxygen atoms respectively. The Na—O bond lengths are 2.344(7) Å and the two unique Ba—O bond lengths are 2.788(7) and 3.247(9) Å. The remaining cation site has 3m symmetry, a coordination number of 10, and contains equal amounts of Na+ and Ba2+. The bond lengths range from 2.548(12) to 3.017(7) Å. The phosphate group also has 3m symmetry with mean P—O bond lengths of 1.538 Å. The underbonded apical P—O bond length is 1.520 Å.
