Crystals of 11H,22H-10,10,21,21-tetramethyl-3,5,14,16-tetra(N,N-dimethyl-2-aminoethyl)-1,12-dioxonia-3,5,7,10,14,16,18,21 -octaazonia-2,4,6,11,13,15,17,22-octagallanata-nonacyclo-[13.7.0.02,7.03,22.04,12.07,11.011,14.013,18.018,22]docosane are triclinic, a = 13.358(1), b = 9.300(1), c = 9.545(1) Å, α = 92.16(2), β = 107.49(1), γ = 89.23(2)°, Z = 1, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.038 for 3393 reflections with I ≥ 4σ(I). The bond lengths involving nonhydrogen atoms have been corrected for thermal motion. The molecular structure features a novel Ga, O, N cage structure which includes the first crystallographic examples of four-membered Ga2NO and six-membered Ga3N2O rings. Three of the four crystallographically independent gallium atoms are tetrahedrally four-coordinate with bond lengths: Ga—O, 1.869 and 1.879(2), Ga—N, 1.945–2.001 (3), and Ga—H, 1.40–1.52(4–5) Å. The remaining gallium atom is five-coordinate with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry (Ga—O(ax), 1.960(3), Ga—N(ax), 2.779(3), Ga—N(eq), 1.949 and 1.999(3), and Ga—H(eq), 1.49(5)Å). Other bond lengths in the molecule are: N—C, 1.449–1.493(4–10), C—C, 1.486–1.528(6–7), N—H, 0.85(5), and mean C—H, 1.03 Å. The errors quoted above are those arising from the least-squares analysis and do not reflect uncertainties introduced by the thermal analysis.

The title compound crystallizes in the space group P21/c with four formula units in a cell of dimensions a = 10.146(6) Å, b = 10.593(4) Å, c = 26.31(1) Å, β = 103.14(3)°. Using 1496 observed reflections (I = 2.3σ(I)) in the range 0° < 2θ < 40° measured on a Picker FACS-1 automatic diffractometer with Mo-Kα radiation, the structure was solved (symbolic addition) and refined (full-matrix least-squares procedure) to R = 0.062 (Rw = 0.058), with all hydrogen atoms included and all non-hydrogen atoms having anisotropic thermal parameters. The dimensions within the cation are consistent with a delocalized electronic structure which is intermediate between valence formulations involving benzenoid or quinonoid structures for the (4-diethylaminophenyl)diazenyl residue. Some important bond lengths are N3—C22 1.336(7) Å, N2—C19 1.356(7) Å, N1—N2 1.308(6) Å, and P—N1 1.648(5) Å.

Crystals of hexadecamethylcyclooctasiloxane are tetragonal, a = 13.9442(5), c = 8.5573(4) Å, Z = 2, space group P4/nnc. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.034 and Rw = 0.042 for 730 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The molecular structure closely resembles that of [(CH3)2PN]8. Its comparatively rigid conformation, in which the silicon atoms form a crown, is dependent on the efficient use of van der Waals interactions between two sets of four methyl groups. Important molecular dimensions (bond lengths corrected for libration) are: Si—O = 1.629(1) and 1.635(1), Si—C = 1.862(2) and 1.848(3) Å, O—Si—O = 108.99(6), Si—O—Si = 157.8(1) and 148.8(2)°.
