Oxidation of 10-methyl-9-anthraldehyde with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid gives 9-formyloxy-10-methylanthracene which dimerizes in solution upon exposure to light. The head-to-tail structure of the 4π+4π photodimer was established by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. In the crystalline state, the molecular structure is centrosymmetric, and the length of the photochemically formed bonds 1.646(4)Ǻ. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/c, a 7.980(5), b 16.143(7), c 9.571(3)Ǻ, β 114.38(3)°, Z=2 dimers; R was 0.041 for 1362 'observed' diffractometer reflections.

Abstract The title compounds [R2NH2][C2O4SnMe3](R=i-Bu, Cy), in which tin atoms adopt a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration, have been prepared and submitted to an X-ray diffraction study. These compounds have been obtained from the reaction of (Cy2NH2)2C2O4·H2O or (i-Bu2NH2)2C2O4 with SnMe3Cl. In both [R2NH2][C2O4SnMe3] compounds, the trans complex has an almost regular trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. The SnMe3 residues are connected as a chain with bridging oxalate anions in a trans-SnC3O2 framework, the oxygen atoms being in axial positions. The cations connect linear adjacent chains through NH…O hydrogen bonds giving layered structures.

The octadentate ligand [N(CH2CH2NH2)(CH2CH2CH2OH)(CH2CH2S)]2CH2, (NNOS-232)2CH2, was synthesized accidentally by the reaction of the unsymmetrically substituted tripod [N(CH2CH2NH2)(CH2CH2CH2OH)(CH2CH2SH)], NNOS-232, with dichloromethane in the presence of aluminum hydroxide. Ligand (NNOS-232)2CH2 was reacted with zinc bis(perchlorate) hexahydrate to yield the complex [Zn((NNOS-232)2CH2)](ClO4)2 1 exhibiting a distorted octahedrally coordinated zinc atom in an N4S2 coordination environment, as shown by an X-ray diffraction study.

The diiron aminocarbyne complexes [Fe2{μ-CN(Me)(R)}(μ-CO)(CO)(NCMe)(Cp)2][SO3CF3] (R = Xy1, 1a; R = Me, 1b; R = CH2Ph, 1c; Xy1 = 2,6-Me2C6H3) undergo replacement of the coordinated nitrile by halides, diethyldithiocarbamate, and dicyanomethanide to give [Fe2{μ-CN(Me) (R)}(μ-CO)(CO)(X)(Cp)2] complexes (R = Me, X = Br, 4a; R = Me, X = I, 4b; R = CH2Ph, X = Cl, 4c; R = CH2Ph, X = Br, 4d; R = CH2Ph, X = I, 4e; R = Xy1, X = SC(S)NEt2, 5a; R = Me, X = SC(S)NEt2, 5b; R = Xy1, X = CH(CN)2, 7), in good yields. The molecular structure of 5a shows an unusual η1 coordination mode of the dithiocarbamate ligand. Similarly, treatment of [M2{μ-CN(Me) (R)}(μ-CO)(CO)(NCMe)(Cp)2][SO3CF3] (M = Fe, R = Xy1, 1a; M = Fe, R = Me, 1b; M = Ru, R = Xy1, 2a; M = Ru, R = Me, 2b) with a series of phosphanes generates the cationic complexes [M2{μ- CN(Me)(R)}(μ-CO)(CO)(P)(Cp)2][SO3CF3] (M = Fe, R = Xy1, P = PPh2H, 6a; M = Fe, R = Xy1, P = PPh3, 6b; M = Fe, R = Xy1, P = PMe3, 6c; M = Fe, R = Me, P = PMe2Ph, 6d; M = Fe, R = Me, P = PPh3, 6e; M = Fe, R = Me, P = PMePh2, 6f; M = Ru, R = Xy1, P = PPh2H, 6g; M = Ru, R = Me, P = PPh2H, 6h), in high yields. The molecular structure of 6a has been elucidated by an X-ray diffraction study. The reactions of [Fe2{μ-CN(Me)(Xyl)}(μ-CO)(CO)(NCR′)(Cp)2][SO3CF3] [R′ = Me, 1a; R′ = tBu, 3] with PhLi and PPh2Li yield [Fe2{μ-CN(Me)(Xy1)}(μ-CO)(CO)(Ph)(Cp)2] (8) and [Fe2{μ-CN(Me)(Xy1)}(μ-CO)(CO)(PPh2)(Cp)2] (9), respectively. The molecular structure of 8 has been ascertained by X-ray diffraction. Conversely, the reaction of 1a with MeLi generates the aminoalkylidene compound [Fe2{C(Me)N(Me)(Xy1)}(μ-CO)2(CO)(Cp)2] (10).Finally, the acetone complex [Fe2{μ-CN(Me)(Xy1)}(μ-CO)(CO)(OCMe2)(Cp)2][SO3CF3] (12) reacts with lithium acetylides to give complexes [Fe2{μ-CN(Me)(Xy1)}(μ-CO)(CO)(C≡CR)(Cp)2] (R = p-C6H4Me, 11a; R = Ph, 11b; R = SiMe3, 11c), in high yields. Filtration through alumina of a solution of 11a in CH2Cl2 results in hydration of the acetylide group and C-Si bond cleavage, affording [Fe2{μ-CN(Me)(Xy1)}(μ-CO)(CO){C(O)Me}(Cp)2] (12).

The reaction between Co2(CO)8 and Fe(C2Ph)(CO)2(η-C5H5) gave the title complex in 44% yield. The molecular structure was determined from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, and consists of the transition metal acetylide acting as a conventional μ- alkyne ligand to a Co2(CO)6 unit. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a 11.610(8), b 14.657(4), c 12.526(6)Ǻ, β 90.30(5)°, and Z 4; 1683 independent data were refined to R 0.080, Rw 0.087.

The formation of three different copper(I) thiourea complexes in sulfate-containing acid solutions was observed. The ratio between CuI and thiourea (tu) in these complexes depends on the amount of thiourea and copper sulfate in the solution. The crystal and molecular structure of a new complex, [Cu_2(tu)_6](SO_4)\cdotH_2O, was determined, and the formation and structures of [Cu_2(tu)_5](SO_4)\cdot3H_2O and [Cu_4(tu)_7](SO_4)_2\cdotH_2O were confirmed. The compound [Cu_2(tu)_6](SO_4)\cdotH_2O crystallizes in the P\overline 1 space group, with a = 11.079 (2), b = 11.262 (1), c = 12.195 (2) Å, \alpha = 64.84 (1), \beta = 76.12 (1), \gamma = 66.06 (1)°, and Z = 2. The Cu-thiourea complex is arranged as a CuI tetranuclear ion, [Cu_4(tu)_{12}]^{4+}, sited on a crystallographic inversion center. All copper ions are in a tetrahedral coordination with thiourea ligands and located at alternate sites on an eight-membered, crown-like ring.

The addition of 4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazide to benzaldehyde and boronic acid containing derivatives afforded the corresponding thiosemicarbazones (1–3) or benzodiazaborines (4–6) depending on the position of the boronic acid within the ring. All compounds have been characterized fully including an X-ray diffraction study of the methoxy-containing benzodiazaborine 6. Attempts to coordinate thiosemicarbazones 2 and 3 to palladium(II) acetate were unsuccessful; however, addition of the non-boron-containing derivative 1 to palladium afforded complex 7 whose molecular structure was determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The initial bioactivities of compounds 1–7 were examined against two fungi, Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and two bacteria, Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
