Crystals of tetrakis(4-methylpyridine)nickel(II)perchlorate, Ni(C6H7N)4(ClO4)2, are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 18.38(1), b = 10.71(1), c = 15.58(1) Ǻ, β = 109.83(5)°, and four molecules in the unit cell. The final atomic parameters were obtained from a block-diagonal least squares refinement using anisotropic thermal parameters. The hydrogen atom positions were established but the parameters were not refined. The final agreement residual for 1199 observed reflections is R = 0.049. The structure consists of discrete Ni(C6H7N)42+ and ClO4− groups. The perchlorate ion is disordered. The 4-methyl-pyridine rings are in a square planar arrangement about the nickel atom.

Using 1032 unique reflections with I > 3σ(I), the structural data were refined by full matrix least-squares techniques to R = 0.038. The molecule was found to be in the anti-configuration. All bond lengths within the highly strained central tricyclic framework were equal within experimental error and average 1.531 Å.

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.

Reaction of aqueous solutions containing CO2+ or Ni2+ and PF6−, or AsF6− with excess 3-methylpyridine yields crystals of compounds of composition M(H2O)2(3mpy)6(EF6)2. Blue crystals of diaquohexakis(3-methylpyridine)nickel(II) hexafluorophosphate, C36H46F12NiN6O2P2, are monoclinic, a = 10.497(1), b = 20.074(3), c = 21.836(5) Å, β = 103.93(2)°, Z = 4, space group Cc. The structure was determined with MoKα CAD4 diffractometer data by direct methods, and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.048 for 2723 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of {Ni(3mpy)4[(OH2)(3mpy)]2}2+ cations and PF6− anions. The cation contains a NiN4O2 chromophore with water molecules occupying trans positions of a distorted octahedron about nickel. One additional 3-methylpyridine molecule is H-bonded to each of the water molecules with [Formula: see text] distances of 2.717(11) and 2.719(11) Å. Weak interaction of each water molecule via its second hydrogen atom with a PF6− ion is indicated by the positioning of the anions. The [Formula: see text] distances are 2.958(11) and 2.959(11) Å. Two other complexes of this type, where M is Ni and E is As and where M is Co and E is P, are reported here and on the basis of spectroscopic and magnetic studies are assigned structures similar to the Ni/P complex.Decomposition of the aquo complexes under mild conditions yields compounds of composition M(3mpy)4(EF6)2. Ni(3mpy)4(PF6)2 is assigned a square planar structure with weakly interacting PF6−, anions in axial positions. Both Co(3mpy)4(EF6)2 complexes, where E is P or As, have tetrahedral [Co(3mpy)4]2+ cations and non-coordinated anions.

The crystal and molecular structure has been determined by X-ray diffractometry for the singlet ground state nickel(II) compound of a fifteen- membered tetraaza macrocyclic ligand , formed by reaction of a mixture of tris ( ethanediamine )nickel(II) and tris (propane-1,3- diamine )nickel(II) perchlorates with acetone. The compound, (1RS,8SR)- 5,7,7,13,15,15-hexamethyl-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclopentadeca-4,12- diene )nickel(II) perchlorate hydrate, [Ni( hmpd )](ClO4)2.H2O, is monoclinic, space group P21/C, a 1158.76(14), b 1319.53(22), c 1630.35(21) pm, β 96.209(10)°, R 0.046, Rw 0.062 for 2798 reflections. The nickel(II) ion is in tetrahedrally distorted square-planar coordination [mean Ni-N distances 188.9 pm ( imine ), 191.9 pm (amine), displacements of nitrogens c. �20 pm from mean coordination plane]. Triplet ground state compounds [Ni( hmpd )( acac )]ClO4 and [{Ni( hmpd )}2C2O4](ClO4)2, with the macrocycle in folded coordination, were prepared and converted into an isomeric form of [Ni( hmpd )](ClO4)2. The 3,5,7,7,13,15,15-heptamethyl homologue of [Ni( hmpd )]2+ was prepared by reaction of tris (propane-1,2-diamine)- and tris (propane-1,3-diamine)- nickel(II) perchlorates with acetone. The electronic (d-d), 1H N.M.R. and 13C N.M.R . spectra of compounds of these macrocyclic cations, and of (5,5,7,13,15,15-hexamethyl-1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclopentadeca-7,12-diene) nickel(II) are reported.
