Supporting evidence for complex ion formation in MgCl2 alkali chloride melts was sought from a single crystal X-ray analysis of the title compounds. Crystals of K2MgCl4 are tetragonal, a = 4.94, c = 15.58 Å, Z = 2, space group I 4/mmm. The compound is isostructural with K2NiF4, and was determined with MoK α diffractometer data and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R = 0.046 for 180 reflections.Crystals of Cs2MgCl4 are orthorhombic, a = 9.777, b = 7.514, c = 13.234 Å,Z = 4, space group Pnma. The compound is isostructural with β-K2SO4, and was determined with MoKα diffractometer data and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R = 0.074 for 1084 reflections. The K2MgCl4 structure contains an infinite two-dimensional array of MgCl6 octahedra sharing edges. The Cs2MgCl4 structure contains discrete MgCl42− anions which likely continue to exist in the melt close to the melting point.

Ammonium dithiocarbamate, H2NCS2NH4, decomposes easily but the anion forms a stable mercury(II) complex, the crystals of which are orthorhombic with a = 7.851(3), b = 17.565(7), c = 12.051(3) Å, and space group Pbca. The structure was solved by the Patterson method and refined by the full-matrix least-squares method to an R of 0.038 for 781 reflections. The structure consists of layers of two-dimensional polymeric networks. The dimeric subunits in the layer containing two each of mutually connected Hg atoms and dithiocarbamates are further linked by other bridging dithiocarbamates forming a sheet-like structure. Each Hg atom bonds to four S atoms from four separate dithiocarbamates with Hg—S distances of 2.499(4), 2.508(4), 2.533(4), and 2.629(4) Å. The ir bands observed were: ν(NH2), 3320, 3220, 3125; δ(NH2), 1600; ν(C—N), 1395; ρr(NH2), 1172; and v(C—S), 840 cm−1. The mass spectrum of this polymeric compound gave peaks corresponding to Hg, S2, CNH2, HNCS, S, CS2, S5, S4, S3, and S8 in the order of their intensities.

Three 2-(hydroxyamino)alkanols have been reacted with sterically hindered arylboronic acids, ArB(OH)2. When Ar = o-tolyl, 1:2 condensates having bicyclic structures are formed but when Ar = mesityl (2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2), 1:1 condensates having six-membered cycloboronate structures result. These 1:1 condensates represent the first examples of N-unsubstituted 1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane derivatives. An X-ray analysis of one example provides unambiguous proof of the structure. Crystals of 2-mesityl-6,6-pentamethylene-1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane, 3c, are monoclinic, a = 11.076(9), b = 23.94(2), c = 13.414(9) Å, β = 109.40(5)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.051 and Rw = 0.058 for 2037 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2).

For structurally characterized 18-electron (cyclopentadienyl)nickel(II) acetylide complexes, statistically insignificant decreases in the average Ni-C(1) distance and trans influence and an increase in the average C(1)-C(2) parameter are observed on introduction of an acceptor substituent at the alkynyl ligand.

Alkaline chlorination of the 4-alkyl-2,6-dichlorophenols (2b) and (2c) proceeds through ring contraction and halolactonization to form the 4α- alkyl-2,2,5α-trichloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4-carbolactones (4b) and (4c). Under similar conditions, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol affords the analogous 2,2,4α,5α-tetrachloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4- carbolactone (4a) in low yield, in addition to the Hantzsch acid (3a) as the major product. The acid (3a) upon further treatment undergoes chloro-lactonization to give the lactone (4a). The structures of the lactones (4b) and (4c) follow from spectroscopic comparison with (4a), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction (C6H4Cl4O4 orthorhombic a 13.485(1), b 12.348(1), c 11.371(1) Ǻ, space group Pccn, Z 8, solved by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal and full-matrix least squares to R 0.031, Rw 0.043 for 1313 unique counter data with I/σ(I) ≥ 3.0).

The molecular and crystal structure of the [Pt(dien)Br]Br complex (dien = diethylenetriamine) has been studied by X-ray diffraction. The compound belongs to the orthorhombic Pca21 space group and the cell parameters are: a = 14.211, b = 4.940, c = 13.450 Å, and Z = 4. The refinement of the positional and anisotropic thermal parameters, carried out by full matrix least squares calculations, converged to R = 0.039 and Rw = 0.036.The coordination around the platinum atom is planar. The crystal consists of alternate layers of [Pt(dien)Br]+ cations and Br− ions parallel to the ac plane.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Tl(S2CNEt2)3], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K and refined by full-matrix least squares to a residual of 0.050 for 2517 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, with space group A2/a, a 14.789(7), b 10.428(4), c 18.207(9) Ǻ, β 118.11(4)°, Z 4, and are isostructural with those of the previously determined gallium and indium analogues, the molecule having 2 symmetry with <Tl-S> 2.666 Ǻ. As in the dimethyl/thallium analogue, the departure of the TlS6 core symmetry from 3 is large and is examined in terms of electron-pair repulsion theory.

The structure of mer-(Pme2Ph)3Cl-cis-H2IrIII (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction analyses. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21, with a 11.476(4), b 14.069(5), c 8.286(3)Ǻ, β 92.45(1)° and Z 2. Full-matrix least-squares analyses converged 0.022 for 7773 X-ray data and R(F2) = 0.062 for 1538 neutron data. Ir -H [1.557(11)Ǻ trans to Cl, 1.603(10) Ǻ trans to P] and Ir -P distances [2.292(1)Ǻ trans to P, 2.328(1)Ǻ trans to H] both exhibit trans lengthening effects. Consistent with the increased hydride content the Ir -P distances in (1) are c. 0.04 Ǻ shorter than for the corresponding bonds in its dichloro monohydrido analogues and c. 0.08 Ǻ shorter than those in the trichloride . In contrast Ir-Cl [2.505(1)Ǻ] is not significantly different to the corresponding distance (2.504 Ǻ av.) in mer -(PMe2Ph)3-cis-Cl2HIrIII.

The compound Hg2.86 AsF6 belongs to the tetragonal space group I41/amd with lattice parameters a = 7.538(4) Å, c = 12.339(5) Å, and Z = 4. The structure was refined using 109 symmetry independent reflections by full matrix least-squares refinement to a final R value of 0.079. The structure may be described as consisting of octahedral AsF6− ions arranged on a lattice which contains linear, non-intersecting channels in two mutually perpendicular directions. Within these channels are infinite chains of mercury atoms, each with a formal charge of +0.35, and with a mercury–mercury distance of 2.64(1) Å.

Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 6.630(4), b 17.465(6), c 22.297(6) Ǻ, β 97.4(2)�, Z 4. The structure has been refined by a full- matrix least-squares procedure to R 0.048 for 2165 reflections. Basic geometries are square (platinum), tetrahedral (silicon) and trigonal (nitrogen). Within the silatrane ligand, the Si-N non-bonding distance is 2.89(1) Ǻ.
