Crystalline adducts of the lithium(I) halides, LiX (X = Cl , Br, I) with N,N,N′,N′- tetramethylethyl-enediamine (tmeda) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray studies. Both bromide and iodide form 1 : 1 adducts which are μ,μ-dihalo-bridged binuclear species, [( tmeda )LiX2Li( tmeda )], with four-coordinate N2LiX2 lithium environments; in addition, the iodide yields an ionic 1 : 2 adduct, [Li( tmeda )2]+I-. The chloride complex is a novel 3 : 2 polymer based an a double cubane Li6Cl6 unit solvated by chelating and bridging tmeda units.

Complexes [ XCu ( py )(PPh3)2], X = Cl, Br, I, py = pyridine, have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. Chloride and iodide derivatives have similar cells [ isomorphous (?) but not isostructural ], triclinic, pi, a = 19.5 A, b = 10.5, c = 9.6 � , α ≈ 66, β ≈ 86, γ ≈ 83�, Z = 2; the bromide is monoclinic, Cc, a 13.568(9), b 15.760(12), c 16.545(8) � , β 95.65(5)�, Z = 4. Cl, Br, I structures were refined to residuals of 0.042, 0.055, 0.039 for 4288, 2241, 4808 'observed' reflections. In all cases, the copper atom is four-coordinate; for such an array, Cu-X lengths are unusually short [2.318(2), 2.459(2), 2.636(1) � (Cl, Br, I) and Cu-N unusually long (2.14(1) � ], while (Cu-P) increase from 2.264 to 2.288 � across the series. The dominant aspect of the complexes is thus that of XCu (PPh3)2 solvated by pyridine.

Mixed base pyridine (py)/triphenylphosphine adducts of the copper(1) halides, CuX, have been synthesized for 1 : 1 : 1 stoichiometry for X = chloride and iodide; single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of these show them to be isomorphous and isostructural with that of the bromide recorded elsewhere, being �,�′- dihalo-bridged dimers , [(PPh3)( py )CuX2Cu( py )(PPh3)], monoclinic, C2/c, a ≈ 26.2, b ≈ 14.3, c ≈ 11 .2 � , β ≈ 95, Z = 4 dimers. The bromide has been isolated as a new monoclinic C 2/m polymorph, a 11 .279(8), b 14.268(6), c 13.858(4) �, β 109.33(6)�, Z=4 dimers, and details of its structure are also recorded. The structures of their pyridine-4-carbonitrile (pycn) analogues have also been determined and found to be also binuclear, with no cyano-copper interactions; these also are an isomorphous, isostructural series, monoclinic P21/n, a ≈ 15.4, b ≈ 8.1, c ≈ 17.9 � , β ≈ 101 �, Z = 2 dimers. In each series of dimers, one half of the dimer is crystallographically independent, the generators of the other half being twofold rotor (C2/c phase), mirror (C2/m phase) and inversion centre (P21/n phase) respectively.

Crystallization of lithium(I) nitrate from 2-methylpyridine and 3,5-dimethylpyridine yields 1 : 2 and 1:3 adducts respectively, characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The 1:2 adduct is a linear polymeric species with the lithium atom four- coordinated by two monodentate ligands and two oxygen atoms of O,O′- bridging nitrate groups; there are two crystallographically independent polymeric strands in the structure. The 1:3 adduct is mononuclear, again with four-coordinate lithium. The three Li-N distances range from 2.05(2) to 2.08(2)Ǻ, while Li-O is 1.98(2)Ǻ.

From 2-methylpyridine, remarkably, a solvate is obtained in which the thiocyanate is N-bonded (4): triclinic, P-1, a 27·261(5), b 14·767(3), c 13·319(1) Å, α 91·53(1), β 101·58(1), γ 92·29(2)°; Z = 4 (R 0·045 for No 6900). The cyanide is also monoclinic, P 21/n, a 19·442(7), b 14·267(3), c 17·741(6) Å, β 97·63(3)°, z = 4; R 0·057 for No 2487. The unsolvated 1 : 3 nitrate complex (6a) is monoclinic, P 21/n, a 19·602(5), b 14·455(1), c 17·727(2) Å, β 97·19(2)°, Z = 4; R was 0·034 for No 6522. The complex is isomorphous with the arsenic and phosphorus analogues, being mononuclear [(Ph3Sb)3Ag(O2NO)]. The ethanol solvate (6b) is triclinic, P-1, a 13·352(5), b 14·548(9), c 14·701(4) Å, α 81·64(4), β 84·45(3), γ 75·32(4)°, Z = 2; R was 0·058 for No 4702. Ag-Sb range between 2·6980(8) and 2·843(3) Å in the precise determinations; Ag-X are 2·481(4) and 2·52(1) Å (the two chlorides), 2·757(1) (I), 2·533(3) (SCN), 2·21(1) (NCS), 2· 09(3) (CN), 2·377(7) Å (unidentate ONO2)

Complexes [XLiL3], X = Cl , Br, I; L = 4-t-butylpyridine, (1)-(3) have been synthesized by recrystallization of the anhydrous lithium halide from the parent base, and characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. (1) and (2) are isomorphous (monoclinic, P21), a ≈ 11.8, b ≈ 12.1, c ≈ 11.8 Ǻ, β 120°, Z 2 (R 0.051, 0.040 for No 1491, 1499 'observed' reflections); (3) is orthorhombic, Pbca, a 22.119(10), b 21.108(10), c 12.845(10) Ǻ, Z 8, R 0.067 for No 967. (1)- (3) are all pseudo- trigonal and contain four-coordinate XLiN3 arrays [Li-X, 2.33(1); 2.53(1); 2.76(4) Ǻ; Li-N, 2.03(1)-2.11(1); 2.04(1)-2.09(2); 2.03(4)-2.07(4)Ǻ]. Similar data are also recorded for X = I, L = quinoline (4)[monoclinic, P21/c, a 15.684(6), b 7.693(4), c 26.758(12) Ǻ,β 107.71(3)°, Z 4; R 0.072, No 3096; Li-I, 2.78(2); Li-N, 2.08(2)- 2.13(2)Ǻ]. While a close parallel may be drawn between the similarity of the chemistry of lithium(I) and copper(I) in respect of (1)-(3), (4) is unusual being the first XML3 derivative for a quinoline -type ligand; it is a monoquinoline solvate.

Reaction of 2,6-bis[l-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl]pyridine, L, with copper(1) chloride, bromide, and iodide in acetonitrile solution has been shown to yield salts, structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods as [( MeCN ) CuL ]+ [ ClCuCl ]-, (1), [( MeCN ) CuL ]+2 [XCuX2CuX]2-, X = Br (2), I (3) (both isomorphous ), all as yellow needles, and a form of (3), orange blocks, as the hemiacetonitrile solvate, (4), [( MeCN ) CuL ]+2 [IcuI2Cul]2-. MeCN . The same cation is common to all four species, containing four-coordinate copper(r), with L as meso -tridentate ligand; in (4), the most precisely defined example, Cu-N( MeCN ) is 1.919(5) �, the shortest copper(1) acetonitrile distance known, while Cu-N(L) are 2.065(5)-2.073(5) �. The reason for non-formation of species of the type [ LCuX ] appears to lie in the tridentate ligand conformation which permits coordination of acetonitrile but not larger halide species.
