The structure of mer-trans-(PPri3)2(PH3)H-trans-Cl2IrIII (1) (Pri = isopropyl), the second third-row transition-metal-PH3 complex to be so characterized, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C 2/c with a 21.701(2), b 8.735(1), c 15.594(1) Ǻ, β 119.57(1)° and Z 4. Structure refinement by full-matrix least-squares analysis (2811 reflections, 113 parameters) converged with R = 0.016 and Rw = 0.022. Molecules exhibit crystallographically imposed C2 symmetry. The C2 axis passes through the iridium, hydride and PH3 phosphorus atoms, and requires the PH3 hydrogen atoms to be disordered. Important molecular dimensions are Ir-PPri3 2.371(1) Ǻ, Ir-PH3 2.362(1) Ǻ, Ir-Cl 2.374(1) Ǻ and P- Ir -P(trans) 163.21(3)°.

The structure of mer-cis-(PEt2Ph)2(PPri3)H-trans-Cl2IrIII (4) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 11.607(1), b 21.553(1), c 14.066(1) Ǻ, β 109.04(1)? and Z 4. Structure refinement by full-matrix least-squares analysis (3244 unique reflections, 316 parameters) converged with R 0.034 and Rw 0.041. The PEt2Ph ligands are similarly disposed to their PMe2Ph counterparts in mer-cis-(PEt2Ph)2(PPri3)H-trans-Cl2IrIII (2) but the PPri3 ligands are differently oriented and differently configured. Metal-ligand distances [ Ir -P(1,2,3) 2.333(2), 2.404(2), 2.368(2) Ǻ; Ir-Cl (1,2) 2.388(2), 2.400(2) Ǻ] are all within c. 0.02 Ǻ of those in (2). The P-Ir -P(trans) angle is 155.3(1)°.

The crystal structure of 1,4-diphenyl-2,2′,3,3′,5,5′,6,6′-octamethylcyclo-1,4-diphospha-2,3,5,6-tetrasilahexane, (PhPSi2Me4)2, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 9.866(1), b = 11.921(1), and c = 11.324(2) Å, β = 104.31(1)°, Z = 2, and ρcalcd = 1.15 g/cm3. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.060 and Rw of 0.078, for 1173 reflections with intensities greater than 3σ. The (PhPSi2Me4)2 molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, and the six-membered P2Si4 ring has a chair conformation with equatorial phenyl groups. The endocyclic angles at P (104.4(1)°) and Si (104.9(2)°) are intermediate between those found in cyclic hexaphosphine and hexasilane molecules, and the Si—Si and P—Si distances of 2.345(3) and 2.252(4) Å, respectively, correspond to single bond lengths, with no appreciable evidence for secondary pπ → dπ bonding between phosphorus and silicon. The Si—C (1.867(8) Å) and P—C (1.828(7) Å) bond lengths are also normal. The variations in the Si—P—C (101.6(2)°, 108.6(2)°), P—Si—C (range 106.2(3)–120.0(3)°), and Si—Si—C (range 105.8(3)–113.7(3)°) angles indicate that the positions of the exocyclic methyl and phenyl groups are influenced by both intra- and intermolecular steric forces.

New amineruthenium and amineiridium hydride derivatives have been synthesized and characterized with the objective of observing intramolecular [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] interactions. These include RuHCl(CO)(L)(PPri3)2 (1a, L = NH2NH2; 1b, L = NH3) and IrCl2(L)(H)(PCy3)2 (2a, L = SC(NH2)2; 2b, L = NH3; 2c, L = NH2NH2; 2d, L = NH2(CH2)3NH2; 2e, L = NH2OH). Instead, weak [Formula: see text] van der Waals contacts have been detected in the solid state by X-ray analysis and in solution by NMR T1 measurements and nOe techniques. Both X-ray crystal structure analysis and minimum T1 measurements indicate that the [Formula: see text] distances in the [Formula: see text] interactions are ca•2.0–2.2 Å. The weak interactions might influence the course of deuteration of these complexes under D2 gas. The crystal and molecular structure of IrCl2(NH3)(H)(PCy3)22a has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 173 K: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 14.859(2) Å, b = 18.579(3) Å, c = 18.548(3) Å, β = 97.29(1)°, V = 5079.1(13) Å3, Z = 4, full-matrix least-squares refinement on F2 for 10 953 independent reflections; R[F2 > 4σ(F2)] = 0.0283, wR(F2) = 0.0704. Keywords: ruthenium, iridium, hydride, dihydrogen, complexes, hydrogen bond, NMR, X-ray.

The crystal and molecular structure of trans-dichloro(bis(isopropyl)sulfoxide-S)(1-methylcytosine-N)platinum(II) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic with a = 16.205(5), b = 8.078(2), c = 6.776(2) Å, α = 106.53(2), β = 96.35(2), γ = 98.54(2)°. The space group is [Formula: see text] and there are two molecules per unit cell. A total of 2294 independent reflections, of which 2023 were observed, were examined on a Syntex [Formula: see text] diffractometer. The structure was refined by full matrix least squares analysis to an R2 value of 0.0427. The ligands form a rough square around the platinum atom with Pt—Cl(1), 2.304(3), Pt—Cl(2), 2.287(4), Pt—S, 2.232(2), Pt—N, 2.058(7). Distances within the ligands are normal. The plane of the cytosine ring is at 84.4° to the plane formed by the ligands around platinum.

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been examined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic with a = 28.045(10), b = 8.766(3), c = 12.376(5) Å, β = 91.14(3)°. The space group is C2/c and there are eight molecules per unit cell. A total of 5053 independent reflections, of which 2860 were observed, were examined on a Syntex [Formula: see text] diffractometer. The structure was refined by full matrix least squares to an R2 value of 0.0449. The ligands form a very rough octahedron around the rhenium atom with Re—Cl(1), 2.441(3); Re—Cl(2), 2.366(3), Re—O(1), 1.684(7); Re—O(2), 1.896(6); Re—N(1), 2.144(7); Re—N(2), 2.132(7) Å. The pyridine rings are a dominant factor in determining the details of the molecular structure.

Evaporation of a methanol solution containing both mer -(PMe2Ph)3Cl3IrIII (1) and mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-trans-Cl2IrIII (2) yields a new crystalline species (3) which is morphologically distinct from either (1) or (2). The structure of (3) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 15.747(2), b 10.305(1), c 16.790(2)Ǻ, β 92.75(3)� and Z 4, and contain, in approximately equal amounts, discrete molecules of both (1) and (2) distributed randomly in common lattice sites. Site content differs only according to whether there is H or Cl trans to the unique phosphine ligand . Structure refinement by full-matrix least-squares analysis (6183 reflections, 413 parameters) converged with R = 0.026, Rw = 0.034, and site occupancy factor for the unique chlorine atom equal to 0.530(4). Molecules each exhibit the conformation observed for pure (1) [pure (2) differs]. Derived metal- ligand distances are very similar to the weighted averages [53% (1), 47% (2)] of the corresponding distances in (1) and (2).

The crystal and molecular structures of pentane-2,4-dionato-(2,3,5,6-tetrahapto-2,3-dicarbomethoxo[2.2.1]bicycloheptadienerhodium(I), Rh(C5H7O2)(C7H6(CO2CH3)2), have been measured by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The orange crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4, a = 9.245(4), b = 9.003(4), c = 21.680(15) Å, β = 113.41(5)°. The calculated and observed densities are 1.645 and 1.642(5) respectively. Intensity data were collected on a Syntex [Formula: see text] diffractometer and a full matrix least squares refinement on 3010 observed reflections leads to a conventional R = 0.0660. The structure can be considered as a roughly square planar arrangement of ligands around the rhodium atom composed of two β-ketoenolate oxygen atoms (Rh—O, 2.037(5) and 2.025(5) Å ) and the centers of the two ethylenic groups. The Rh—C distances for the olefin group attached to the two carbomethoxo groups, 2.117(8), 2.108(8) Å, appear to be slightly larger than those for the other olefinic group, 2.087(7), 2.082(6), and the corresponding C=C distances of 1.375(10) and 1.410(9) Å are different at the 95% confidence level.

The crystal and molecular structure of dithiocyanato(triphenylarsine)mercury(II) has been determined from X-ray diffraction data. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 10.290(7), b = 21.199(23), c = 10.719(7) Å, β = 112.00(2)°, and Z = 4. The structure has been solved by the heavy-atom method and refined by block-diagonal least-squares calculations. The agreement factor R obtained for 2607 'observed' reflections is 0.030. The crystal consists of single molecules. The 'characteristic' coordination number of mercury is three, with two sulfur and one arsenic atoms at the apexes of a triangle. The nitrogen atoms of the thiocyanate groups are at 2.67 and 2.74 Å from the adjoining mercury atoms and therefore link the different molecules together.
