The structure of hexaaquocobalt(II)-hexafluorosilicate(IV) has been determined by the heavy atom method. The compound crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text], with three molecules in the hexagonal unit cell of dimensions a = 9.358(16), c = 9.712(14) Å. The atomic parameters were refined by block diagonal least squares using anisotropic thermal parameters. The hydrogen atom positions were established but the parameters were not refined. The final agreement residual for 151 observed reflections is R = 0.043.The structure consists of discrete Co(H2O)62+ and (SiF6)2− octahedra joined systematically by [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to the [Formula: see text] axis.

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.

The crystal and molecular structure of s-fac-[Co((S)-Asp)(dien)]ClO4 . HClO4 .2 H2O (dien = 1,4,7-triazaheptane) was solved by the heavy atom method. The position parameters of the non-hydrogen atoms and their anisotropic temperature parameters were refined based on 1 726 observed reflections with a final value of R = 0.073.
