The absolute configuration of the title compound has been established from a single-crystal room temperature X-ray structure determination of its dibromo derivative, C24H28Br2O8. Crystals of the latter are orthorhombic, space group P21212, a l6.696(5), b l5.660(3), c 4.713(1) �, Z 2; 1452 independent 'observed' reflections yielded R 0.033 following full-matrix least-squares refinement. The molecule lies on a crystallographic 2 axis. The occurrence of lignans in Eremophila species is summarized.

The synthesis of the title compounds has been described recently. It was anticipated that the product would be a diastereomeric mixture. Surprisingly, only one isomer was obtained. The present work is an attempt to find the conformationnal properties accounting for those observations. X-ray structure determination of 3R-[p-hydroxybenzyl]-6-carbethoxy-2-oxopiperazine shows that the molecule adopts a folded conformation and that the absolute configuration at C6 is [R]. Investigation in solution using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance shows the existence of three conformers and discusses the relative populations. Those findings are also relevant in terms of the activity of such compounds at the opiate receptor level.

The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound are recorded. Crystals are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14.43(2), b 18.39(1), c 23.64(3) Ǻ, β 123.16(7)°, Z = 4, isostructural with the recently described Fe3Ru5 analogue; R was 0.048 for 6892 'observed' data [I > 3σ(I)]. The cluster is one of the few containing separated carbide ligands within a polyhedral metal skeleton, consisting of an Ru5C square pyramid and an Ru6C octahedron sharing a triangular face, with two PPh2 groups bridging opposite Ru-Ru vectors in each polyhedron.

Racemates of (η3-allyl)tricarbonyliron lactone complex Fe(CO)3{η1:η3-C(O)XCH2CHCMeCH2} 1a (X = O) and (η3-allyl)tricarbonyliron lactam complex 2a (X = NMe) are resolved on a preparative scale by HPLC on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)carbamate/silica gel RP-8 and the absolute configuration of (-)-2a is determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis.

The room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound (tpyH2)2[Tb(OH2)8]Cl7.~2⅓H2O is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 17.063(5), b 16.243(3), c 7.878(3) Ǻ, α 84.78(2), β 84.39(3), γ 87.81(2)°, Z = 2 formula units; 3167 'observed' diffractometer reflections were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a residual of 0.057. Notable features of interest of the compound are the 'chelation' of chloride ions by the terpyridinium cations , and the existence of a free [Tb(OH2)8]2+ cation in the presence of an abundance of chloride ions.

Abstract Fragmentation of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles (1) leads to the compounds 5 - 8 with an increasing proportion of sulphur. Numerous structural possibilities exist for the products 7 with the general formula (R2C2)2S3. The number of proposals can be reduced by spectroscopic techniques, but the final structure determination is accomplished by an X-ray analysis of the title compound 7a. 7a crystallizes in the space group P21/c (Z = 4) with cell parameters of a = 9.714(1), b = 16.188(8), c = 9.149(2) Å and β = 98.93(1)°. The structure is solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.053 with 1955 diffractometer data (I ≥ 2σ(I)). The trithiolane ring has a puckered conformation and the whole molecule shows nearly perfect C2-symmetry, which is not required crystallographically.

The absolute configurations of the known juglomycins A (1) and B (2) have been elucidated by single crystal X-ray structure analysis of 1 and its 6,8-dibromo derivative (1b). The structure of 2 has been corrected; it differs from 1 in its configuration at C-4', and not at C-3' as previously assumed. Relationships with the closely related isochromanquinone antibiotics are discussed.

A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of silver(I) 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoate/triphenyl-phosphine (AgL/PPh3) was recorded, showing it to be a binuclear centrosymmetric system with the silver atoms bridged by one of the carboxy oxygen atoms of each ligand, [(PPh3)Ag(μ-O)2Ag(PPh3)] as in the parent acetate; the phenolic oxygen, retaining its protonation, is hydrogen bonded within the ligand to the other feebly chelating carboxylate oxygen.

Abstract By reaction of [B6H6]2-with (SCN)2 in dichloromethane at -80 C° the thiocyanatohexaborate anion is formed and can be isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose. The X-ray structure determination of Cs2[B6H5(SCN)] (orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a = 9.506(5), b = 10.644(5), c = 21.857(5) Å, Z = 8) reveals that the SCN substituent is bonded via the S atom with the B-S distance of 1.885(9) Å and the B-S-C angle of 99.8(5)°. The SCN group is nearly linear (179.9(9)°).

The title compound, [{(Me3Si)2NCH2}2], has been structurally characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination at 130 K, being refined by full-matrix least-squares to a residual of 0.057 for 1244 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, C2/c, a 21.00(2), b 9.089(8), c 11.744(9) Ǻ, β 92.31(7)°, Z 4. Molecules lie on inversion centres, but with some disorder of the methylene groups. Si -N are 1.735 Ǻ, and N-CH2 1.53(1) for the major fragment (70%). The nitrogen in the major fragment is approximately trigonal planar; Si -N- Si 124.6(3)°, Si -N-C 117.5(4), 115.5(4)°.

The title compound was made following a projected synthetic route to pentacyclic triterpenes. The key step in the route is the alkylative trapping of the enolate derived from the enol trimethylsilyl ether 8. The stereochemical consequence of this reaction is confirmed by a single crystal X-ray structure determination on 4, which although of no further utility in the projected synthesis, nevertheless served as a useful template for this determination. In this way, ongoing work in a parallel series of compounds rests on a firm stereochemical footing.
