The mono(acetylacetonato) complexes [MCl(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene)] (M = Ru, Os, arene = C6H6, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6; M = Os, arene = 1,2-C6H4Me2, 1,2,3-C6H3Me3), which are formed from [MCl2(η6-arene)]2 and thallium or sodium acetylacetonate, react with thallium acetylacetonate to give bis(acetylacetonato) complexes [M(O,O'-acac)(η1-acac)(η6-arene)]. The η1-acac ligand is bound through the gamma-carbon atom for M = Ru, Os, arene = C6H6; M = Os, arene = 1,2-C6H4Me2, 1,2,3-C6H3Me3 and through a keto-oxygen atom for M = Ru, Os, arene = 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6, the difference being attributed to a combination of steric and electronic effects. Cationic ruthenium(II) derivatives [Ru(L)(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene]+ (arene = C6H6, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6; L = DMSO, MeCN, py, PPh3) and [Ru(CO)(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene]+ (arene = 1,3,5-C6H3Me3,C6Me6), and neutral osmium(II) η1-acetato derivatives [Os(η1-OAc)(O,O'-acac)(η6-arene)] (arene = C6H6, 1,2-C6H4Me2, 1,2,3-C6H3Me3, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, C6Me6) are also described. The molecular structures of the following complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography: [Os(O,O'-acac)(η1-C-acac)(η6-1,2-C6H4Me2)], triclinic, space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2), a = 9.922(2), b = 9.974(2), and c = 11.001(2) Å, α = 68.33(1), β = 64.18(1), and γ = 62.38(1)°, V = 849.0(3) Å3, Z = 2; [Os(O,O'-acac)(η1-O-acac)(η6-1,3,5-C6H3Me3)], monoclinic, space group C2/c (No. 15), a = 16.032(4), b = 11.989(3), and c = 21.562(7) Å, β= 108.91(2)°, V = 3921(2) Å, Z = 8; [Os(η1-OAc)(O,O'-acac)(η6-C6H6)], triclinic, space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2), a = 8.368(4), b = 8.402(4), and c = 11.008(4) Å, α = 71.68(3), β = 69.35(3), and γ = 69.77(3)°, V = 663.0(6) Å3, Z = 2.Key words: arene-ruthenium, arene-osmium, acetylacetone, crystal structures.

In a systematic search for supramolecular complexes involving all combinations of the cyclic polyethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C 5), 18-crown-6 (18C 6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB -18C6), and the geminal di- or trisulfones H2C(SO 2Me)2, H2C (SO2Et)2 and HC (SO2Me)3-n (SO2Et)n (n = 0 -3 ) , only the following four complexes could be isolated and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy: [(12C4){H2C (SO2Et)2}2] (3), [(18C6){H2C (S O2Me)2}] (4), [(DB -18C 6){H2C (SO2Et)2}] (5) and [(D B -18C 6)2{HC (SO2Me )(SO2Et)2}3] (6). The structure of 3 (triclinic, space group P1̄) consists of crystallographically centrosymmetric formula units, in which the disulfone molecules are bonded on each side of the ring by two C -H ··· O(crown) interactions originating from the central methylene group (H···O 213 pm) and from the methylene group of one EtSO2 moiety ( H ··· O 237 pm). Formula units related by translation are connected into parallel strands by a third type of reciprocal C -H ···O bond (H ···O 232 pm) between the second H atom of the central methylene group and a sulfonyl oxygen atom of the adjacent unit. The structure of 4 (monoclinic, space group C2/c) showed severe disorder of the crown ether and could not be refined satisfactorily. Compounds 5 and 6 crystallized as long and extremely thin fibres, indicative of linear-polymeric supramolecular structures; single crystals for X-ray crystallography were not available.

The structures of three tetramethylammonium salts containing anions of formula [(μ-SePh)6(MSePh)4]2− (M = Zn and Cd) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The Zn salt crystallizes in different space groups depending upon the solvent combination used in the synthesis. Thus crystals of (Me4N)2[Zn4(SePh)10], 1, grown from a mixture of methanol, acetonitrile, and acetone are triclinic, space group [Formula: see text] with cell dimensions a = 13.214(2), b = 23.859(2), c = 13.072(1) Å, α = 91.134(8), β = 113.350(8), γ = 79.865(9)°, and Z = 2. In the absence of acetone, a solvated crystal (Me4N)2[Zn4(SePh)10]•CH3CN, 2, is formed, which belongs to the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 14.248(1), b = 39.722(2), c = 13.408(1) Å, β = 97.132(5)°, and Z = 4. The Cd salt (Me4N)2[Cd4(SePh)10], 3, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with a = 20.830(2), b = 14.282(1), c = 25.872(1) Å, β = 99.626(6)°, and Z = 4. These three salts are the first examples of homoleptic, tetranuclear selenolatometal(II) anions with (μ-Se)6M4 cages of adamantane-type stereochemistry. In each case the phenyl substituents of the bridging ligands adopt the configuration [aae, aae, aee, aee], which has the minimum number of two 1,3-axial–axial non-bonding substituent interactions.

The Cu(I) complexes, (Ph3P)2CuL (L = [S2PMe2]-, [OSPR2]- (R = Me, Ph), [(XPR2)(YPR'2)N]- (X, Y, R, R' = O, O, Ph, Ph; O, S, Ph, Ph; O, S, OEt, Ph; S, S, Me, Me)) and Cu(II) complexes, CuL2 (L = [(XPR2)(YPR'2)N]- (X, Y, R, R' = O, O, Ph, Ph; O, S, Ph, Ph)), have been prepared. The Cu(I) derivatives were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and in two cases by X-ray crystallography. (Ph3P)2Cu[S2PMe2] (1) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (No. 19) with cell parameters a = 9.782(2), b = 17.808(4), c = 20.216(4) Å, V = 3521(6) Å3 and Z = 4, and (Ph3P)2Cu[(OPPh2)2N] (4) in the triclinic space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2) with cell parameters a = 9.8079(2), b = 12.9141(3), c = 22.5666(5) Å, α = 75.714(2), β = 79.465(2), γ = 68.2770(8)°, V = 2559.9(1) Å3 and Z = 2. In both cases the phosphorus ligands are bidentate, thus resulting in monomeric molecules that contain tetrahedral CuP2S2 and CuP2O2 cores. The molecular structures of two of the Cu(II) derivatives were also determined. Cu[(OPPh2)2N]2 (8) and Cu[(OPPh2)(SPPh2)N]2 (9) crystallize in the triclinic space group P[Formula: see text] (No. 2) with cell parameters a = 8.887(2), b = 10.739(2), c = 12.477(3) Å, α = 77.61(3), β = 76.15(5), γ = 79.46(3)°, V = 1118.3(4) Å3 and Z = 1 for 8, and a = 9.626(2), b = 14.151(3), c = 24.752(5) Å, α = 88.23(3), β = 79.93(3), γ = 89.77(3)°, V = 3181(1) Å3 and Z = 3 for 9. The molecule of Cu[(OPPh2)2N]2 (8) has a planar CuO4 core, while in Cu[(OPPh2)(SPPh2)N]2 (9) both planar and tetrahedral copper cores are observed in a ratio of 1:2.Key words: structure, copper, thiophosphinates, oxo- and thio-imidodiphosphinates

Elemental Iodine

Hexaphenylcarbodiphosphorane Ph3P=C=PPh3 (1) forms deeply coloured, crystalline 1:1 ad- ducts with elemental sulfur, selenium and tellurium (2, 3 and 7, respectively). A superior method of synthesis for 7 is the reaction of Na2Te with (Ph3P)2CCl⊕Cl⊖. All three compounds are thermally unstable and decompose at or below room temperature. A selenium adduct 5 was also obtained with Me3P = C = PPh, (4). The compounds 2 and 3 can be alkylated at the chalkogen atoms using MeOSO2F or PhCH2Cl. Oxydation of 3 leads to Se - Se coupling.Addition of elemental iodine to 1 in molar ratios 1:1. 2:3 and 1:2 affords salt-like products composed of the (Ph2P)2Cl⊕ cation associated with I⊖ and/or I3⊖ anions (8a-c).The crystal and molecular structures of 3 and 8b have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. 3′, containing one half equivalent of disordered tetrahydrofuran, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n (a = 10.848(6), b = 17.433(8). c = 16.848(9) Å, β = 91.51(5)°. V = 3185.07 Å3, ϱx = 1359 gcm-3, Z = 4). Based on 3488 structure factors, the final R value was 0.103. The selenium is attached to the ylidic carbon atom without major changes of the Ph3P=C=PPh3 skeleton (C - Se = 1.99 Å). 8b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ (a = 9.935(2). b = 11.507(2), c = 16.646(3) Å, α = 90.91(1), β = 112.00(1), γ = 96.60(1)°, V = 1749.15 A3, ϱx = 1.741 gcm-3, Z = 2). Refinement of 382 parameters on 5096 structure factors converged at R = 0.043. The molecular structure shows close similarities to the selenium adduct 3 (C-I = 2.12 Å).

The structure consists of sheets formed in the plane parallel to the b axis and diagonal to vectors a and c by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Complex 5 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2 with a distorted octahedral structure. The [N(n-Bu)4]+ ion is disordered at the C3A and C4A atoms of one Bu.

The crystal structures of the herbicide, dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) and the zinc(II) complex of this acid, {[Zn(dicamba)2(H2O)3].2H2O}}n (1), have been determined from X-ray diffraction data and refined by least squares to final residuals of 0.034 and 0.043 respectively. Dicamba is triclinic, space group P1, Z 2 with a cell a 7.232(1), b 7.971(1), c 9.050(3) �, α 102.76(3), β 91.33(3), γ 110.38(1)�, while (1) is monoclinic, space group P21/n, Z 4 with a cell a 10.467(1), b 8.135(3), c 28.079(2) �, β 96.497(7)�. Dicamba forms hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O---O, 2.655(7) �] with the carboxyl and the methoxy groups synclinal to the benzene ring. The dicamba ligands retain their conformation in the ZnII complex and are cis-related and unidentate [Zn-0,2.083,2.095(4) �]. Three of the waters are coordinated [Zn-0, 2.036, 2.055, 2.099(4) �] with one of these also acting as a bridging ligand between the octahedral zinc centres [Zn-0, 2.326(4) �], giving a 'linear' polymer structure [Zn-0-Zn bridge angle, 133.6(3)�]. The MnII and CoII complexes of dicamba [(2) and (3)] have been confirmed as isomorphous and isostructural with the ZnII analogue.

The crystal and molecular structures of the title compounds, (C6H11)2PC(S)N(H)C6H5(1) and (C6H5)2PC(S)N(H)C6H5(2) have been determined by single-crystal three-dimensional X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with eight molecules in the unit cell of dimensions a 20.541(4), b 17.784(2), c 10.2564(9) � and β 94.54(1)�; (2) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with two molecules in the unit cell which has the dimensions a 9.242(2), b 9.994(3), c 10.373(3) �, α 68.56(2), β 71.21(2) and γ 86.00(2)�. Both structures were refined by a least-squares procedure, applying anisotropic thermal parameters to all non-hydrogen atoms, with the use of 3119 and 2971 statistically significant reflections for (1) and (2) respectively; final R 0.055 for (1) and R 0.061 (Rw 0.062) for (2). The N, C(l), S moieties of both (1) and (2) display features consistent with the delocalization of π-electrons. There are notable differences in some of the bond angles between (I) and (2) which have been attributed to conformational effects arising from variations in steric pressures; this may account for the observed differences in reactivity between the two compounds.

The crystal structures of N,N′-di(2-acetylcyclohexenyl)ethylenediamine (L1) and its copper(II) complex, which crystallizes with one solvent molecule of chloroform (Cu(L1-2H)•CHCl3), were determined. Crystallographic details are as follows: L1 is monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 8.280(2), b = 11.692(2), and c = 9.355(2) Å, β = 114.10(2)°, V = 826.7(3) Å3, Z = 2; ρc = 1.22 g cm−3, μ(Cu Kα) = 5.93 cm−1, with the final residual indices of R = 0.046 and Rw = 0.070 for 991 unique reflections. Cu(L1-2H)•CHCl3 is triclinic, space group[Formula: see text] with a = 11.121(3), b = 11.713(3), and c = 8.974(2) Å, α = 99.35(2)°, β = 110.83(2)°, γ = 82.33(2)°, V = 1074(1) Å3, Z = 2; ρc = 1.50 g cm−3, μ(Cu Kα) = 50.74 cm−1, with the final residual indices of R = 0.048 and Rw = 0.077 for 2369 unique reflections. The X-ray diffraction study shows that in the crystal state the ligand L1 is in the methylketonecyclohexanonenamine isomeric form. For the copper complex Cu(L1 2H)•CHC13, the geometry around the metal atom is distorted square planar, and the angle between the chelate ring planes in the complex is 15.1°. An NMR study shows that L1 in solution has the same structure as that observed in the solid state by X-ray diffraction.

Reaction of the tetracarbonyl species [M(CO)2(µ-mtz)]2 (M = Rh, Ir; mtz = 2-mercaptothiazolinate) with 1 equivalent of the diphosphines (Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2; n = 1 (dppm), 2 (dppe)) yields the compounds [M2(CO)2(µ-L)(µ-mtz)2] (M = Rh, L = dppm (1), dppe (3); M = Ir, L = dppm (2)), which readily undergo oxidative addition of iodine to give [M2I2(CO)2(µ-L)(µ-mtz)2] (M = Rh, L = dppm (4), dppe (6); M = Ir, L = dppm (5)). When 2 equivalents of dppm are used, the A-frame compounds [M2(CO)2(η1-mtz)(µ-mtz)(dppm)2] (M = Rh (7), Ir (8)) are afforded. In solution the dangling mtz group of 7 undergoes exchange with both the free mtz anion and the bridging mtz ligand. Compounds 7 and 8 are also produced by treatment of trans-[MCl(CO)(dppm)]2 (M = Rh, Ir) with 2 equivalents of the mtz anion. Reaction of these dppm-bridged dichloro species with 1 equivalent of the mtz anion yields [M2Cl(CO)2(µ-mtz)(dppm)2] (M = Rh (9a), Ir (10)). Compound 9a undergoes reversible Cl− dissociation to give [Rh2(CO)2(µ-mtz)(dppm)2][Cl] (9b), which is also the stable form in the solid. Reaction of 9 with CO gives the carbonyl-bridged species [Rh2(CO)2(µ-CO)(µ-mtz)(dppm)2][Cl]. The structures of 6 and 9b have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 6 crystallizes in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text] with one-half equivalent of THF per asymmetric unit in a cell having a = 9.856(3) Å, b = 14.078(6) Å, c = 16.245(5) Å, α = 103.66(3)°, β = 93.21(3)°, γ = 92.91(3)°, V = 2182(1) Å3, and Z = 2, and has refined to R = 0.045 and Rw = 0.057 on the basis of 433 parameters varied. Compound 9b crystallizes with one equivalent of CH2Cl2 in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 11.400(1) Å, b = 21.944(2) Å, c = 22.134(1) Å, β = 92.494(7)°, V = 5532(1) Å3, and Z = 4, and has refined to R = 0.062 and Rw = 0.082 on the basis of 613 parameters varied.

Phenanthroline Ligand

The new phenanthroline ligand 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-9-(5′-methylpyridin-2′-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline L has been synthesized and shown to form four-coordinate CuI(L)2 (1) and six-coordinate CuII(L)2 (2) complexes. Their structures have been determined by X-ray crystallography: (1) C50H38CuN6O2.BF4, triclinic, space group P -1, a12·924(3), b 14·567(4), c 12·649(3) Å , α 105·57(2), β 107·68(2), γ 104·00(2)°; (2) C50H38CuN6O2.2PF6, monoclinic, space group P 21/c, a 17·701(5), b 19·285(5), c 14·93(4) Å, β 98·20(2)°. In solution, cyclic voltammetry measurements indicate for the copper(I) and copper(II) complexes a very fast rearrangement of the pyridine substituent with the change of the oxidation state. Surprisingly, the X-ray data show two different coordination modes for the ligand around the copper(I) ion, the 1,10-phenanthroline nucleus being either mono- or bi-dentate. In solution, since the 1H n.m.r. spectra obtained even at several temperatures display only one set of signals, it is proposed that a fast equilibrium takes place between two coordination modes of the phenanthroline
