The structure of CuSiF6•4H2O has been shown to consist of chains of [Cu(H2O)4F2] and [SiF6] octahedra linked through a common fluorine atom. The space group is monoclinic P21/a, with cell dimensions a = 7.22 ± 0.01 Å, b = 9.64 ± 0.01 Å, c = 5.36 ± 0.01 Å and β = 105.2 ± 0.3°. There are 2 molecules in the unit cell and the copper and silicon atoms occupy centers of symmetry. Atomic parameters have been obtained from a block diagonal least squares refinement using anisotropic temperature parameters. The final agreement residual for 574 observed reflections is R = 0.083.

The structure was solved from 2669 independent reflections with I > 3σ(I) and refined by block diagonal least squares methods to R = 0.032 and Rω = 0.048. Each diphenylphosphino group is bonded to the same hydrazine nitrogen and the geometry about this nitrogen is nearly planar. The average dimensions of the structure are P—C = 1.828 ± 0.005, P—N = 1.715 ± 0.014, N—N = 1.451, and N—C = 1.457 ± 0.003 Å, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text].

The crystal and molecular structure of β-bromo(diethylaminoethanolato)copper(II) has been determined from three dimensional X-ray diffractometer data. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pï with one dimer in a unit cell of dimensions α=10.180(II), b=7.999(9), c=6.227(7) Å and a=110.69(4), β=103.12(4), γ=73.82(4)[°]. The structure was refined by least-squares methods using 1944 independent reflexions to give a final R-index of 0,05. The molecule consists of dimeric Cu2O2-units with Cu—O distances of 1.900(4) Å and 1.914(4) A, respectively. The dimers are additional bridged by bromines, so that a “polymeric” structure results; Cu—Br distances are 2.357(2) and 3.660(2) A, respectively. The Cu—Cu distances are 3.003(2) (oxygen bridges) and 4.506(2) Å (bromine bridges).



Fluorene, C 13 H 10 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pnam with four molecules per unit cell. The molecule possesses a plane of symmetry which is parallel to the (001) plane of the crystal. The structure has been determined by trial-and-error methods, followed (i) by a least-squares refinement and (ii) by two-dimensional Fourier syntheses. The results from the two methods of refinement are compared and for (ii) a method is given for systematically correcting for overlapping of atoms in projections. The accuracy of the co-ordinates given by these methods is discussed in detail, and it is concluded that the co-ordinates adopted are correct to ±0.017 Å. The carbon skeleton is planar to within the experimental error and the equation of the plane is y = 1.4375 x + 11.0947.
