The PdII-catalysed reaction of [(C5Ph5)Fe(CO)2Br] with Grignard compounds RMgX or butyl lithium gave the iron alkyl/aryl complexes [(C5Ph5)Fe(CO)2 R] (R = Me, Ph, iPr and Bu) in 59–73% yield, namely, dicarbonylmethyl(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(CH3)(C35H25)(CO)2], dicarbonyl(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)phenyliron, [Fe(C6H5)(C35H25)(CO)2], dicarbonyl(isopropyl)(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(C3H7)(C35H25)(CO)2], and butyldicarbonyl(η5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(C4H9)(C35H25)(CO)2]. The crystal structure determinations showed the usual `paddle-wheel' orientation of the phenyl rings, with an average canting angle of ca 50°. The bond parameters are mainly dictated by the steric requirements of the alkyl/aryl groups and only the phenyl complex shows electronic effects.

Abstract Tris-thiobenzoates, Arsenic, Antimony, Bismuth Tris-thiobenzoates of arsenic, antimony and bismuth, M(SOCR)3 have been obtained from their oxides and characterized. In the X-ray crystal structure determinations of these, the group 15 atom and the three covalently bonded sulfur atoms are found to constitute a trigonal pyramid, the central atoms lie at a C3 axis. In the bismuth complex the thiobenzoate ligand tends to chelate. However, three comparatively short intermolecular M···S interactions are significant features for these molecules resulting in stacking of trigonal prisms providing an essentially six coordinate environment around arsenic and antimony and a nine-coordinate one for bismuth. The structure of PhSb(SOCPh)2 can be considered

Organoboranes carrying electron-withdrawing substituents are commonly used as Lewis acidic catalysts or cocatalysts in a variety of organic processes. These Lewis acids also became popular through their application in `frustrated Lewis pairs',i.e.combinations of Lewis acids and bases that are unable to fully neutralize each other due to steric or electronic effects. We have determined the crystal and molecular structures of four heteroleptic arylboranes carrying 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl, 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl or mesityl substituents. [3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]bis[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane, C22H11BF12, (I), crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit which show very similar geometric parameters. In one of the two molecules, both trifluoromethyl groups of the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl substituent are disordered over two positions. In [3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]bis[2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane, C24H9BF18, (II), only one of the twometa-trifluoromethyl groups is disordered. In [2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borane, C24H9BF18, (III), bothmeta-trifluoromethyl groups of only one 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl ring are disordered. [3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]dimesitylborane, C26H25BF6, (IV), carries only onemeta-trifluoromethyl-substituted phenyl ring, with one of the two trifluoromethyl groups disordered over two positions. In addition to compounds (I)–(IV), the structure of bis[2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]fluoroborane, C16H6BF13, (V), is presented. None of theortho-trifluoromethyl groups is disordered in any of the five compounds. In all the structures, the boron centre is in a trigonal planar coordination. Nevertheless, the bond angles around this atom vary according to the bulkiness and mutual repulsion of the substituents of the phenyl rings. Also, theortho-trifluoromethyl-substituted phenyl rings usually show longer B—C bonds and tend to be tilted out of the BC3plane by a higher degree than the phenyl rings carryingorthoH atoms. A comparison with related structures corroborates the conclusions regarding the geometric parameters of the boron centre drawn from the five structures in this paper. On the other hand, CF3groups inmetapositions do not seem to have a marked effect on the geometry involving the boron centre. Furthermore, it has been observed for the structures reported here and those reported previously that for CF3groups inorthopositions of the aromatic ring, disorder of the F atoms is less probable than for CF3groups inmetaorparapositions of the ring.

UV irradiation of tetrahydrofuran solutions of [CpMn(CO)3] (Cp = π-C5H5 or π-C5H4Cl) in the presence of the phosphanes PPh3 or PCy3 (Cy = cyclohexyl) and Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2 yields the substitution products [CpMn(CO)2PR 3] (R = Ph or Cy) and [CpMn(CO)(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)], namely, dicarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(triphenylphosphane-κP)manganese(I), [Mn(C5H5)(C18H15P)(CO)2], 1a, dicarbonyl(η5-1-chlorocyclopentadienyl)(triphenylphosphane-κP)manganese(I), [Mn(C5H4Cl)(C18H15P)(CO)2], 1b, dicarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)(tricyclohexylphosphane-κP)manganese(I), [Mn(C5H5)(C18H33P)(CO)2], 2a, dicarbonyl(η5-1-chlorocyclopentadienyl)(tricyclohexylphosphane-κP)manganese(I), [Mn(C5H4Cl)(C18H33P)(CO)2], 2b, carbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)[1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane-κ2 P,P′]manganese(I), [Mn(C5H5)(C26H24P2)(CO)], 3a, and carbonyl(η5-1-chlorocyclopentadienyl)[1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane-κ2 P,P′]manganese(I), [Mn(C5H4Cl)(C26H24P2)(CO)], 3b, The crystal structure determinations show a very small influence of the chlorine substitution and a moderate influence of the phosphane substitution on the bond lengths. The PR 3 groups avoid being eclipsed with the C—Cl bonds. All the compounds employ weak C—H...O interactions for intermolecular association, which are enhanced by C—H...Cl contacts in the chlorinated products.

Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) and its disulfide (dppeS2) react with two equivalents of indium triiodide to give high yields of the corresponding 1:2 adducts. According to crystal structure determinations, both compounds are molecular bis-terminal complexes with the ligands in an all-trans conformation. Contrary to previous findings for complexes of the indium trihalides and of GaBr3 and Gal3 with ditertiary phosphines in fixed cis-structure [bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene or -benzene], no iodide redistribution is observed to give the ionic species [(dppe)Inl2]+ [InI4 ]- . The molecular structures are also retained in solution.

Abstract l-(Fluorodiorganylsilyl)-2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)cyclotrisilazanes react with butyllithium to give the corresponding lithium salts. Ring contraction of the lithium salts with formation of lithiated (fluorodiorganylsilyl)amino-substituted four-membered rings is observed in THF solution. The dimerisation of these cyclodisilazanes with elimination of LiF is demonstrated by crystal structure determinations of three products. Monoclinic and triclinic crystalline modifications of one compound could be isolated.

Abstract The reaction of 4,5-benzo-2-chloro-3-methyl-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinan-6-one 1 with 1,2-bis- (trimethylsiloxy)ethane led to the bisphosphoryl species 2a and to the isomeric bisphosphite derivative 2b. The reaction of 1 with heptamethyldisilazane furnished the expected diphos­phorus compound 3, with two λ3P(III) atoms linked by a methylamino group. Substitution of the chlorine atom of 1 by the 2-chloroethylamino and bis(2-chloroethyl)amino group led to the oxazaphosphorinanones 4 and 6. By oxidation of 4 with the hydrogen peroxide/urea 1:1-adduct, the phosphoryl compound 5 was formed. Oxidation of 4,5-benzo-2-diethyl- amino-3-methyl-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorinan-6-one 7 [1] with hydrogen peroxide, sulfur and se­lenium led to the corresponding phosphoryl, thiophosphoryl and selenophosphoryl com­pounds 8-10. Analogously, the reaction of the dimethylamino- and acetamido-substituted derivatives 11 and 13 [1] with elemental sulfur furnished the thiophosphoryl compounds 12 and 14. X-ray crystal structure determinations of 4 and 14 confirmed the molecular structures, proposed in accord with NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric data. The heterocyclic rings are essentially planar. In 14 a hydrogen bond N-H···O (amide) is observed.

AbstractThe crystal and molecular structures of vardenafil (free, unprotonated base), vardenafil dihydrate and the hydrochloride salts, vardenafil monohydrochloride trihydrate and vardenafil dihydrochloride hexahydrate, were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of vardenafil monohydrochloride trihydrate is in good agreement with the published crystal structure obtained by powder diffraction using synchrotron radiation. This work shows that the crystal structure of anhydrous vardenafil free base is very similar to the crystal structure of sildenafil free base.

The molecular structures of exo-7-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, 3, and the endo-7-methyl isomer, 4, have been determined using X-ray-diffraction techniques. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 15.115(1), c = 7.677(2) Å, and Z = 8 while 4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 6.446(1), b = 7.831(1), c = 8.414(2) Å, β = 94.42(2)°, and Z = 2. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to final agreement factors of R = 0.041 and R = 0.034 for 3 and 4 respectively. Compound 3 exists in a chair–chair conformation and there is no significant flattening of the chair rings. However, in 4, the non-ketone ring is forced into a boat conformation. These results are significant in interpreting what conformations may be present in the related sp2-hybridized carbocations.

For decades, high-resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy has been routinely utilized to analyze both naturally occurring steroid hormones and synthetic steroids, which play important roles in regulating physiological functions in humans. Because the 1H signals are inevitably superimposed and entangled with various JH–H splitting patterns, such that the individual 1H chemical shift and associated JH–H coupling identities are hardly resolved. Given this, applications of thess information for elucidating steroidal molecular structures and steroid/ligand interactions at the atomic level were largely restricted. To overcome, we devoted to unraveling the entangled JH–H splitting patterns of two similar steroidal compounds having fully unsaturated protons, i.e., androstanolone and epiandrosterone (denoted as 1 and 2, respectively), in which only hydroxyl and ketone substituents attached to C3 and C17 were interchanged. Here we demonstrated that the JH–H values deduced from 1 and 2 are universal and applicable to other steroids, such as testosterone, 3β, 21-dihydroxygregna-5-en-20-one, prednisolone, and estradiol. On the other hand, the 1H chemical shifts may deviate substantially from sample to sample. In this communication, we propose a simple but novel scheme for resolving the complicate JH–H splitting patterns and 1H chemical shifts, aiming for steroidal structure determinations.
