The structure of dinitrato(triphenylphosphine)mercury(II), Hg(N03)2.P(C6H5)3, has been determined from single–crystal X-ray data measured on a computer–controlled diffractometer. The crystals are monoclinic, have a unit cell of dimensions a = 10.39(1), b = 9.56(1), c = 19.44(2) Å, β = 94.3(1)°, which contains 4 molecules, and they belong to the space group, P21/c. The structure has been refined by least–squares methods from 2470 independent observed reflections to a conventional R-factor of 0.061. The Hg atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination with Hg—O bond lengths of 2.190(8), 2.428(8), and 2.560(9) Å and an Hg—P bond distance of 2.359(3) Å. There are 2 distinct types of NO3 groups bonded to Hg. One is an unshared, unidentate ligand and the other acts as a bridging group joining 2 Hg atoms. Chains of—Hg—NO3—Hg—atoms are formed which follow crystallographic two-fold screw axes in the b-direction.

The crystal structure of µ-oxobis(cis-dichloro-cis-di(pyridine)-trans-oxorhenium(V)), ORe(C5H5N)2Cl2•O•Re(C5H5N)2Cl2O bas been studied by single crystal X-ray methods. The crystals were orthorhombic with lattice parameters a = 15.367(2), b = 10.283(2), c = 16.685(2) Å. The space group was Pna21 and there were four formula weights per unit cell. A total of 3339 reflections, of which 2990 were observed, were examined, and the structure refined by full matrix least squares (treating the pyridine rings as groups) to an R2 value of 0.0449. The dimer had a roughly rectilinear O—Re—O—Re—O backbone with pairs of chlorine atoms and pyridine molecules arranged cis in each half of the dimer. The two halves of the dimer were arranged such that the pairs of cis atoms in one half were rotated about the Re(1)–Re(2) axis almost 113 ° when compared to the corresponding pair in the other half. Important bond lengths (Re—O(terminal), 1.715(16), 1.764(16); Re—O(bridging), 1.943(16), 1.903(16); Re—Cl, 2.356(5)–2.390(5); Re—N, 2.116(16)–2.180(16)) were close to previously observed values. The molecule was markedly disturbed from the idealized structure and this was caused by intramolecular non-bonded interactions.

One of a series of compounds obtained by the reaction of chloropentacarbonylrhenium(I) with β-diketones has been shown by single crystal X-ray diffraction to be bis(μ-O-1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dionatotricarbonylrhenium(I)). The crystals are monoclinic with lattice parameters a = 11.988(A) Å, b = 14.441(9) Å, c = 10.298(7) Å, β = 115.25(7)°. The space group is P21/c and there are two dimers per unit cell. A total of 1563 independent reflections were measured on a single crystal X-ray diffractometer and the structure was refined by least squares analysis to a weighted R2 value of 0.0427. The dimer units are held together by two bridging oxygen atoms, one from each of the β-ketoenolate groups; the distance of the bridging oxygen from the rhenium atom to which it is chelated (2.162(9) Å) is shorter than the distance to the other rhenium atom (2.204(7) Å). The main part of the β-ketoenolate ring is 37° from the OReO plane.

Abstract The novel tri-nuclear metal-sulfur cluster [Mo3S(S2)6]2- can be obtained as its ammonium salt by the reaction of a Moiv containing aqueous solutions with polysulfide. Its crystal and molecular structure has been determined by a single crystal X-ray study. The crystals are monoclinic (space group Cm, with a = 11.577(6) Å, b = 16.448(7) Å, c = 5.716(2) Å, β = 117.30(3)°, V = 967.2 Å3 , Z = 2, dexptl. = 2.54(2) g/cm3 , dcal = 2.54 g/cm3). The structure consists of isolated [Mo3S(S2)6]2- units, with three Mo atoms at the vertices of a triangle. There are bridging as well as terminal S22--ligands lying above and below the Mo3-plane (bond distances: Mo-Mo = 2.722 Å, Mo-S(terminal) = 2.435, Mo-S(bridging) = 2.452, Mo3-S = 2.353(4) Å and S-S = 2.04 Å (mean values)).

The title compound azobenzene-4, 4′-dicarbonyl chloride has been synthesized in distilled dichlomethane and characterized by elemental analysis (C, H, N), IR and NMR (1H & 13C) studies. The crystal and molecular structure was further confirmed using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. It was crystallized in triclinic crystal system with space group P-1. The centrosymmetrically related molecules held together via C–H---O secondary interaction result in molecular aggregation of the compound.  Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 6(2): 132-136

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been examined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic with a = 28.045(10), b = 8.766(3), c = 12.376(5) Å, β = 91.14(3)°. The space group is C2/c and there are eight molecules per unit cell. A total of 5053 independent reflections, of which 2860 were observed, were examined on a Syntex [Formula: see text] diffractometer. The structure was refined by full matrix least squares to an R2 value of 0.0449. The ligands form a very rough octahedron around the rhenium atom with Re—Cl(1), 2.441(3); Re—Cl(2), 2.366(3), Re—O(1), 1.684(7); Re—O(2), 1.896(6); Re—N(1), 2.144(7); Re—N(2), 2.132(7) Å. The pyridine rings are a dominant factor in determining the details of the molecular structure.

The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined from X-ray data collected on a four-circle diffractometer and refined by the full-matrix least-squares method. The former compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn, with a = 14.346(8), b = 7.239(1), c = 17.276(2) Å, and has been refined to a conventional R factor of 0.043 for 890 observed reflections. Corresponding results for the latter compound are monoclinic, P21/n, a = 12.222(4), b = 7.482(2), c = 14.170(8) Å, β = 94.06(4)°, R = 0.060 for 2128 observed data. The triazine rings of both compounds exhibit short N(1)—N(2) bonds and tetrahedral geometry at C(4); however, the ring is puckered in the first compound but flat in the second. Molecules in both crystals are linked by [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds.

Crystals of bis[methyltris(1-pyrazolyl)gallato]nickel(II) are rhombohedral, a = 9.6670(5), c = 23.893(1) Å, Z = 3, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.030 and Rw = 0.035 for 925 reflections with I ≥ 3σ (I). The crystal structure consists of well separated molecules of [MeGa-(N2C3H3)3]2Ni having exact [Formula: see text] (S6) symmetry and approximate D3d symmetry. The coordination geometry about the nickel atom is octahedral with Ni—N = 2.109(2) Å, N—Ni—N = 90.65(6) and 89.35(6)°. The gallium atom has distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry with Ga—N = 1.939(2), Ga—C = 1.940(4) Å, N—Ga—N = 99.55(6), and N—Ga—C = 118.16(5)°.



A single crystal X-ray analysis of the crystal structure of [TlMe 2 1,10-phen]ClO 4 confirms the presence of a bent dimethylthallium group with a C-Tl-C angle of 168.3 (1.5)°. The thallium coordination is best described as a distorted pentagonal bipyramid with one equatorial position vacant. The equatorial bonds are predominantly electrostatic, and the perchlorate ions are bidentate giving rise to a polymeric structure in the crystal.
