Redetermination of the room-temperature crystal structures of mononuclear chloro- and bromo-pyridinebis ( triphenylphosphine )silver(I) (previously described in space group P21/m) and di-μ-iodo-bis [(pyridine)( triphenylphosphine )silver(I)](previously described in space group C2/m), consequent upon the availability of crystals of improved quality, has permitted the reassignment of space groups as P21/a (with doubled a axis) and C2/c respectively, by virtue of the facilitated detection of weak superlattice reflections. Crystals of [ Cl,BrAg ( py )(PPh3)2] are monoclinic, P21/a, a ≈ 19.6, b ≈ 20.0, c ≈ 9.1Ǻ, β ≈ 97.5°, Z = 4; the structures were refined to residuals of 0.034 and 0.040 for 2965 and 2315 'observed' reflections respectively. [(PPh3)( py )AgI2Ag( py )(PPh3)] is monoclinic, C2/c, a 27.145(6), b 14.548(3), c 11.316(4)Ǻ, β 94.83(2)°, Z 4, refining to R 0.035 for 1892 'observed' reflections, and isomorphous with the [(PPh3)( py )CuX2Cu( py )(PPh3)] family. In spite of this reassignment, the previous descriptions of the AgX /N/P cores of the species are essentially unchanged, the previous residuals of the misassigned space group determinations being comparable with the present; the only non- trivial change lies in the fact that the disordered phenyl rings of the earlier work are now fully ordered. It now seems certain that the 'second polymorph' of [(PPh3)( py )CuBr2Cu( py )(PPh3)], recorded as being isomorphous with its C2/m silver iodide counterpart, is spurious and a consequence of the use of an inferior specimen.

The crystal structures of the chiolite-related room temperature phases α-Na5M3F14 (MIII=Cr,Fe,Ga) are determined. For all of them, the space group is P21/n, Z=2; a=10.5096(3) Å, b=7.2253(2) Å, c=7.2713(2) Å, β=90.6753(7)° (M=Cr); a=10.4342(7) Å, b=7.3418(6) Å, c=7.4023(6) Å, β=90.799(5)° (M=Fe), and a=10.4052(1) Å, b=7.2251(1) Å, c=7.2689(1), β=90.6640(4)° (M=Ga). Rietveld refinements produce final RF factors 0.036, 0.033, and 0.035, and RWP factors, 0.125, 0.116, and 0.096, for MIII=Cr, Fe, and Ga, respectively. The MF6 polyhedra in the defective isolated perovskite-like layers deviate very few from perfect octahedra. Subtle octahedra tiltings lead to the symmetry decrease from the P4/mnc space group adopted by the Na5Al3F14 chiolite aristotype to the P21/n space group adopted by the title series. Facile twinning precluded till now the precise characterization of these compounds.

The syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of 1 : 3 adducts formed between silver(I) (pseudo-) halides, AgX, and triphenylstibine, SbPh3, are described for X = Cl, I, SCN, NCS, CN, NO3 (1)-(6). The chloride, as its methanol solvate (1a), is isomorphous with the arsine analogue: triclinic, P-1, a 13·373(4), b 14·48(6), c 14·702(3) Å, α 83·49(3), β 87·76(2), γ 76·45(3)°; Z = 2, conventional R on F being 0·046 for No 5514 independent ‘observed’ reflections (I > 3σ(I )). A new form (1b) of the chloride has also been authenticated: monoclinic, P 21/c, a 12·832(2), b 54·24(1), c 18·519(8) Å, β 129·68(3)°; Z = 8 (R 0·065 for No 5672). No bromide has been obtained; the iodide (2) is described as monoclinic, P 21/n, a 19·611(4), b 14·473(6), c 17·74(1) Å, β 98·28(3)°; Z = 4 (R 0·036 for No 6769). The thiocyanate crystallizes from acetonitrile or pyridine as an S-bonded form (3) isomorphous with the arsine analogue: monoclinic, P 21/n, a 19·143(7), b 14·288(5), c 18·694(6) Å, β 98·81(2)°; Z = 4 (R 0·037 for No 4482). 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)

AbstractThe reaction of the diimine ligand 1,2-bis(1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolin-2-imino)ethane (BLiPr) with tetrameric [Cp*RuCl]4 in a 1 : 0.75 ratio afforded the complex salt [1][2] containing the 16-electron half-sandwich cation [Cp*Ru(BLiPr)]+ (1) and the dinuclear anion [Cp*Ru(μ- Cl)3RuCp*]− (2). The X-ray crystal structures of [1][2]·31/2THF (monoclinic, space group P21/n, Z = 4) and of [1][2]·THF (monoclinic, space group C2/m, Z = 4) are reported, allowing the structural characterization of the unprecedented anion 2, in which two [(η5-C5Me5)Ru(II)] moieties are bridged by three μ2-chlorine atoms.

Structural characterization of the ionic complexes [FeCl2(C26H22P2)2][FeCl4]·0.59CH2Cl2 or [(dppen)2FeCl2][FeCl4]·0.59CH2Cl2 (dppen = cis-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphane)ethylene, P2C26H22) and [FeCl2(C30H24P2)2][FeCl4]·CH2Cl2 or [(dpbz)2FeCl2][FeCl4]·CH2Cl2 (dpbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphane)benzene, P2C30H24) demonstrates trans coordination of two bidentate phosphane ligands (bisphosphanes) to a single iron(III) center, resulting in six-coordinate cationic complexes that are balanced in charge by tetrachloridoferrate(III) monoanions. The trans bisphosphane coordination is consistent will all previously reported molecular structures of six coordinate iron(III) complex cations with a (PP)2 X 2 (X = halido) donor set. The complex with dppen crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c as a partial-occupancy [0.592 (4)] dichloromethane solvate, while the dpbz-ligated complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 as a full dichloromethane monosolvate. Furthermore, the crystal studied of [(dpbz)2FeCl2][FeCl4]·CH2Cl2 was an inversion twin, whose component mass ratio refined to 0.76 (3):0.24 (3). Beyond a few very weak C—H...Cl and C—H...π interactions, there are no significant supramolecular features in either structure.

The syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of binuclear 1 : 2 adducts formed between silver(I) (pseudo-)halides, AgX, and triphenylarsine, AsPh3, for X = Cl, Br, I, SCN (1)–(4), are described. The chloride (1), obtained from 2-methylpyridine, is triclinic, P-1, a 10·410(2), b 12·716(2), c 14·196(6) Å, α 113·38(2), β 109·41(2), γ 75·08(1)°, Z = 1 (dimer); conventional R on F was 0·037 for No 3979 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections. The bromide (2a), obtained from 2,6-dimethylpyridine, and iodide (3), obtained from a mixture of AgI/saturated KI in MeOH solutions, are isomorphous, monoclinic, P 21/c a≈ 24·2, b ≈ 13·9, c ≈ 20·2 Å, β ≈ 109·5°, Z = 4 dimers; R was 0·046 and 0·044 for No 5670 and 6039 respectively. The thiocyanate (4) has a similar cell, a 24·12(1), b 12·558(8), c 23·244(4) Å, β 110·11(3)°, Z = 4 dimers, R being 0·044 for No 7956; one of the thiocyanate ligands (which bridge in Ag-SCN-Ag mode) is disordered. A second polymorph of the bromide (2b) (from a mixture of AgBr/saturated KBr in H2O) is also monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14·121(8), b 25·577(3), c 21·968(2) Å, β 125·54(3)°, Z = 4 dimers (R was 0·047 for No 5715). Ag–As range between 2·568(1) and 2·633(1) Å throughout the series; in the isomorphous bromide and iodide, values increase slightly: 2·578(1)–2·611(1), cf. 2·601(2)-2·633(1) Å respectively. Ag–X are 2·568(2)-2·670(2) (Cl); 2·688(2)–2·715(2) (Br); 2·828(2)–2·856(1) Å (I); Ag-S, N for the ordered SCN group are 2·646(3), 2·255(6) Å. A redetermination of improved precision (R 0·035, No 6030) is reported for the triphenylphosphine/thiocyanate analogue. The far-infrared spectra of [(Ph3As)2Ag(µ-X)2Ag (AsPh3)2] show v(AgX) bands at 185, 145 (X = Cl), 145, 130, 106 (X = Br) and 121 cm-1 (X = I). The splittings and band widths reflect a decrease in the degree of distortion of the Ag(µ-X)2Ag units from a symmetrically bridged structure from X = Cl to I.

Despite evidence of coordinative interactions with alkali metal picrates in solution, attempts to crystallize Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+ or Cs+ complexes of a 'doubly crowned' calix [4] arene (obtained by reaction of tetraethylene glycol ditosylate with p-t- butylcalix [4] arene ) have resulted only in the deposition of crystals of the free ligand . A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray study has shown the crystals to be hexagonal, space group P6422, a (= b) 17.092(5), c 20.147(7) Ǻ, V 5097(5) Ǻ3, Z 3, conventional R (on |F|) 0.082 for 1397 'observed' reflections [I > 3σ(I)]. The highly symmetrical oblate-globular shape of this doublecrowncalix allows the enclosure of an extended narrow cavity possibly better suited to the binding of two small metal ions rather than one large.

The synthesis and room temperature structural characterization of the title compound [AgL2]+(C104)-, L= 2,6-diacetylpyridine, are reported. Crystals are orthorhombic, Pcan, a 19.629(7), b 14.603(4) and c 14.469(4) � , Z = 8; R was 0.050 for 1987 'observed' reflections. The structure contains two independent [AgL2]+ species, the central nitrogen atoms of the quasi-tridentate ligands being opposed in the coordination spheres of the silver atoms. Both have crystallographically imposed 2 symmetry; in one, this is normal to the N-Ag-N line [actual bond angle, 175.6(2); Ag-N, 2.316(6), Ag-O, 2.589(7) and 2.522(7) � ], relating the two ligands. In the other, it is coincident; for one ligand Ag-N and Ag-O are 2.285(8) and 2.500(8) � , while for the other the two values are 2.271(8) and 2.543(7) �. The silver-nitrogen distances are appreciably longer than the value of 2.166(4) � found for the [Ag( py )2]+ cation.

The synthesis and structural characterization of representative and novel pyrazagaboles, boron- and gallium-containing compounds with a central six-membered heterocyclic B—(N—N)2—Ga ring feature, are detailed. Crystals of dimethylgallium-bis(μ-pyrazolyl)dimethylboron are orthorhombic, a = 7.6135(5), b = 16.2917(5), c = 22.331(1) Å, Z = 8, space group Pbca, and those of hydroxy(methyl)galliumbis(μ-pyrazolyl)dimethylboron are orthorhombic, a = 7.6197(3), b = 16.2184(7), c = 22.190(1) Å, Z = 8, space group Pbca. Both structures were solved by conventional heavy atom methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.054 and 0.040 for 1243 and 1272 reflections with I ≥ 1.5 and 3σ(I), respectively. The crystal structures are isomorphous and both feature six-membered B—(N—N)2—Ga rings having highly asymmetric boat conformations, unlike those observed for the majority of the homobinuclear analogs previously reported. The mean Ga—N and B—N distances in the two compounds are 1.977 and 1.61 Å. Keywords: pyrazagaboles, pyrazolyl-bridged heterocycles, crystal structures, synthesis of pyrazagaboles.

The mononuclear adducts chloro - and bromo-pyridinebis (triphenylphosphine)silver have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The two complexes are isomorphous, monoclinic, space group P21 or P21/m, a ≈ 9.8, b ≈ 20.0, c ≈ 9.1 � , β ≈ 97.5�, Z 2; in space group P21/m, they were refined to residuals of 0.038, 0.036 for 2392, 2157 'observed' reflections respectively. No comparable iodide adduct has been isolated. In both structures the silver atom is four-coordinate; Ag-Cl,Br are 2.511(2), 2.629(1) �; Ag-P, 2.472(1), 2.476(1) �, and Ag-N, 2.585(5), 2.570(5) � respectively, the Ag-N distance being longer than Ag-P, indicating very weak coordination of the pyridine.

Syntheses and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of binuclear 1 : 2 adducts formed between silver(I) halides, AgX (X = Cl, Br, I), and triphenylstibine, SbPh3, are described. The three complexes are isomorphous, being triclinic, P-1, a ≈ 18·5, b ≈ 14·6, c ≈ 14·5 Å, α ≈ 62·5, β ≈ 74, γ ≈ 77°, Z = 2 centrosymmetric dimers. Conventional R on F were 0·043, 0·038 and 0·046 for 4984, 8479 and 4166 independent, ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections respectively. In [(Ph3b)2Ag(µ-X)2Ag(SbPh3)2], Ag–Sb range between 2·702(1) and 2·744(2) Å, lengthening slightly from chloride to iodide; Ag–X are 2·567(5)–2·628(4) (Cl), 2·684(1)–2·737(1) (Br) and 2·826(3)–2·869(3) Å (I). The far-infrared spectra of [(Ph3Sb)2Ag(µ-X)2Ag(SbPh3)2] show v(AgX) bands at 178, 158 (X = Cl), 121 (X = Br) and 110 cm-1 (X = I). The splittings and band widths reflect a decrease in the degree of distortion of the Ag(µ-X)2Ag units from a symmetrically bridged structure from X = Cl to I.
