The effect of 1,5-disubstitution on the photochemistry of 9,10-ethenoanthracene-11,12-diesters has been studied and correlated with the crystal structures determined for several derivatives; photoproduct structures have been established from a crystal structure analysis of one of the products and from NMR correlations. The crystals studied are: (1)-Cl, dimethyl 1,5-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethenoanthracene-11,12-dicarboxylate, C20H14Cl2O4, P21/n; (1)-CN, 1,5-dicyano derivative, C22H14N2O4, P21/n; (1)-CN.0.5p-xylene, C22H14N2O4.0.5C8H10, P21/c; (1)-CN.xxylene, C22H14N2O4.xC8H10, P21/n; (1)-OMe, 1,5-dimethoxy derivative, C22H20O6, P{\bar 1}; (2b)-Cl, C20H14C12O4, dimethyl 1,5-dichloro-4b,8b,8c,8d-tetrahydrodibenzo[a, f]cyclopropa[c,d]pentalene-8c,8d-dicarboxylate, Pna21. The dibenzobarrelene molecules all have geometries and dimensions similar to those of related materials. In particular, the orientations of the two ester groups in each molecule differ, one being in general almost fully conjugated with the C(11)=C(12) double bond and the other almost non-conjugated. Relationships are sought between the ratios of the two regioisomeric photoproducts and molecular and crystal structures; both electronic and steric effects are considered, but no one effect seems to dominate.

The photochemistry of 9,10-ethenoanthracene-11-monoamides has been studied and correlated with the crystal structures determined for two derivatives; photoproduct structures have been established from a crystal structure analysis of one of the products and from NMR correlations. Crystal data are: (1)-Et, N, N-diethyl-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethenoanthracene-11-carboxamide, C21H21NO, Pbca; (1)-Pr, 9,10-dihydro-N,N-di(isopropyl)-9,10-ethenoanthracene-11-carboxamide, C23H25NO, P21/c; (2 L)-Bz, 9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethenoanthracene-11-spiro-3′-(1-benzyl-4-phenylazetidine)-2′-one, C31H25NO (+ solvent), P21/a (Z = 8). The two dibenzobarrelene molecules have geometries and dimensions similar to those of related materials; the amide group in each molecule is only partially conjugated with the C 11=C 12 double bond. Mechanisms are derived for the formation of three types of photoproduct: (i) the well known di-π-methane reaction [(2M)-type photoproduct]; (ii) a hydrogen abstraction process (2H); (iii) β-lactam formation (2 L).

At the dawn of crystal structure analysis, the close personal contact between researchers in Russia and Germany, well documented in the “Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie”, contributed significantly to the evolution of our present knowledge of the crystalline state. The impact of the Russian crystallographer E. S. Fedorov upon German scientists such as A. Schoenflies and P. Groth and the effect of these contacts for Fedorov are highlighted hundred years after the death of the latter. A creative exchange of ideas paved the way for the analysis of crystal structures with the aid of X-ray diffraction.

Abstract Pyroaurite and sjogrenite belong to the group of sandwiched lamellar metal hydroxides which have a fixed metallic ions MII:MIII ratio for a particular class. Their crystal structure consists of positively charged metal hydroxide blocks intercalated with negatively charged interlayers. The atomic positions for the interlayer are definite for a particular class. The exact chemical formula of the pyroaurite class is determined from crystal structure analysis to be MII 6MIII 2(OH)16-CO3-4.5H2O; it crystallizes in the space group Rm with a = 12.4376 Å and c = 23.4126 Å. Sjogrenite, MII 6 MIII 2(OH)16-CO3-4H2O crystallizes in the space group P63/mcm. The crystallogiraphy and structural relationship between these classes are discussed. Previous discussion on these compounds did not give any conclusion on the exact chemical formula and the atomic positions.

[MC12(PR3)2] (M = Ni, Pd) reacts with E(SiMe3)2 (E = S, Se) to form triangular clusters, [Ni3S2Cl2(PPh3)4] (1), [Pd3S2Cl2(PPh3)4] (2), [Ni3Se2(SeSiMe3)2(P(C2H4Ph)3)4] (4) and [Pd3Se2(SeSiMe3)2(PPh3)4] (3). 1-4 have been characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis. All these compounds contain a triangular M3-core, which is capped by two μ3-E-ligands (E = S in 1, Se in 3 and 4).

The reaction of [(cod)IrCl]2 (cod = η4-cycloocta-1,5-diene) with n-C3H7Li gives non-isola-ble (cod)IrH species by β-elimination of (cod)Ir-n-C3H7 intermediates; the stable final products of further reactions with RC = CR highly depend on the nature of the substituents R. With R = Me the 6-endo-H-hexamethylcyclohexadienyl complex 1 is obtained together with the iridacyclopentadienyl compound 2 and known {[(cod)IrH]4C3H4) (3). In case of R = Et steric effects cause transfer of the hydridic hydrogen to the cod ligand, and the hexaethylbenzene species 4 is isolated which was characterized by crystal structure analysis. The reaction system with tolane again yields a 6-endo-H-cyclohexadienyl complex (5). In all cases free substituted benzenes are formed as cyclotrimerization products of the alkynes.

AbstractTransition metal complexes of the ligands 1-thiooxamate and 2-thiooxam ate have been prepared. According to crystal structure analysis of Fe(2-thiox)2(H2O)2, Zn(2-thiox)2(H2O) and Zn(1-thiox)2(H2O)2 these ligands act as O .S-donors and form pentaatomic chelaterings. Both Zn-complexes are trigonal-bipyramidally coordinated.

[Ni8Cl4(μ4-PPh)6(PPh3)4] (1) reacts with sodium amalgam to form [Ni9(PPh)6(PPh3)4] (2) and {[Ni8Hg(PPh)6(PPh3)4] · [Ni8(PPh)6(PPh3)4]} (3). 3 has been characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis. It contains two distorted cubic Ni8-clusters. All faces of the cubes are occupied by μ4-PPh ligands. At one of the cubes one nickel atom is bonded to an external mercury atom. [Ni8Cl2S6(PPh3)6] (4) reacts with sodium amalgam to form [Ni8S6(PPh3)8] (5). In this symmetrical structure all nickel atoms are bonded to three S ligands and to one PPh3.

By mixing aqueous solutions of Hg(CH3COO)2 and KOCN the white precipitate K2Hg3(NCO)8 is formed. When recrystallised from CH3OH colorless crystals of the compound KHg(NCO)3 are obtained. The crystal structure analysis (space group Pnma; α = 1015.2(6) pm, b = 399.3(3) pm, c = 1772.9(9) pm) shows a distorted KCdCl3 arrangement with isolated Hg(NCO)2 molecules, K+ and NCO- ions. The vibrational spectra in the range of 250-3000 cm-1 are discussed. The rubidium compound is isotypous (a = 1019.0(6) pm, b = 411.6(4) pm, c = 1820.5(8) pm).
