The crystal structure of triphenylarsenic difluoride has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray diffractometer data. Crystals of Ph3AsF2 are orthorhombic, space group Pbcn, with four molecules of C18H15AsF2 in a unit cell of dimensions a = 6.270, b = 16.593, c = 14.519 Å; molecular symmetry C2 is required. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to a final residual R of 0.054 for 979 intensities regarded as "observed" (I > 3σ(I)). The crystals contain well separated discrete molecules. The arsenic atom has near regular trigonal bipyramidal geometry with apical fluorine atoms (As—F 1.834(7) Å) and equatorial phenyl rings (mean As—C 1.925(5) Å). Idealized D3 symmetry is not achieved because of unequal rotations of the phenyl rings about the As—C bonds.

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by the heavy atom method. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with unit cell dimensions a = 22.795(3) Å, b = 17.518(2) Å, c = 12.396(3) Å, Z = 8; R = 0.0409 for 1527 unique "observed" reflections. The structure is disordered, with each halogen site (X) occupied by 75% Br, 25% I. The molecule consists of two X2(tmen)In units (tmen = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine) with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, joined by an In—In bond 2.775(2) Å in length.

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 trans-chloromethylbis(trimethylarsine)platinum(II) hexafluorobut-2-yne has been determined from three dimensional X-ray diffraction data recorded by diffractometric methods. The structure has been refined by full-matrix least-squares methods on F using 1156 reflections to an agreement factor R = 0.077. The crystals are monoclinic, space group [Formula: see text] with a = 6.803(8), b = 14.93(2), c = 20.20(2) Å, β = 104.9(1)°, and Z = 4. The coordination of the platinum atom is trigonal bipyramidal, with the acetylene considered a monodentate ligand, and the two trimethylarsine ligands occupying the equatorial plane. The chlorine atom and the methyl ligand occupy the apical positions, with Pt—Cl and Pt—C distances of 2.47(1) Å and 2.10(4) Å, respectively. The long Pt—Cl bond length indicates the strong trans-influence of the methyl ligand. The observed C—C bond length of 1.32(4) Å in the acetylene ligand is lengthened from the value of 1.22(9) Å measured in the free ligand. The geometry of the coordinated ligand is discussed in terms of the bonding scheme proposed by Greaves etal.

The crystal and molecular structure of 3-chloro-3-deoxy-1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-idose has been determined from three dimensional X-ray data collected by counter methods. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to a conventional R factor of 5.7% for the 817 observed reflections. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with four molecules in a cell of dimensions a = 9.744(6), b = 26.76(2), c = 5.403(3) Å.The structure analysis has served to confirm the site of halogenation and that it occurs stereospecifically. The conformation of the furan ring is an envelope arrangement with C(4) displaced from the mean plane.

Abstract A final decision between the 2-and 3-oxide structure of the thermally or photo-chemically accessible monoxides of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles is given with the aid of an X-ray analysis of 4-phenyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-3-oxide. The compound crystallizes in the ortho-rhombic space group Pbca, Z = 8, with a = 7.598(6), b= 18.865(5) and c= 11.225(6) Å. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method and refined to R = 0.042 for 1643 independent reflections. The heterocyclic ring is planar within experimental error and the bond distances S-C and S-N are rather short. In the crystal the molecules are linked by an unusual short contact distance between sulphur and oxygen (2.75 Å).

The complex (Me2S)Cl3W(μ-SPh)2WCl3(SMe2), 1, has been isolated as one product of the 1:1 reaction between WCl4(Me2S)2 and SiMe3(SPh) in CH2Cl2 solution. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study shows that the molecule has the relatively unusual edge-shared bioctahedral structure, with a W—W bond length of 2.759(1) Å. The dimethyl sulfide ligands occupy positions trans to one another in the equatorial mean plane of the molecule, which has two-fold symmetry imposed on it. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method and refined to R = 0.044 and Rw = 0.058 for 2001 reflections. Crystals of 1 are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 17.445(4), b = 12.594(2), c = 11.509(3) Å, β = 91.22(1)°, and Z = 4.

Reaction between rhenium(III) chloride and 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1H)- thione hydrochloride in concentrated HCl solution results in the formation of [Re3C19(H2O)3].2(C6H7N2S.HCl).-2H2O. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with cell dimensions a 16.797(4), b 21.917(4), c 9.514(1) � and Z 4. The structure was solved by the heavy-atom method and refined by least-squares calculations to a final R value of 0.0517 (R' 0.0602). The structure consists of discrete [Re3Cl9(H2O)3] units, protonated organic molecules, chloride ions, and water molecules. In the cluster three rhenium atoms are linked to form a triangle, with chlorine atoms bridging each pair of rheniums which present short Re-Re bonds [2.440(1), 2.433(1) and 2.444(1) �]. Three water molecules in the equatorial plane and six chlorine atoms perpendicular to it (three above and three below) make the coordination around each rhenium distorted pentagonal bipyramidal.

The crystal and molecular structure of trans-chloro(3-hydroxypropyl-N,N-dimethylaminocarbene)bis(dimethylphenylphosphine)platinum(II) hexafluorophosphate has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected on an automated four circle diffractometer using CuKα radiation. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21, with Z = 4, and cell dimensions a = 14.403(2), b = 12.631(2), and c = 16.151(2) Å. Full matrix least-squares refinement on F gave a final conventional R factor of 0.047 for 3442 observations with I > 3σ(I). The cation coordination geometry is square planar, with the carbene ligand lying approximately perpendicular to the plane. The Pt—Cl bond length is 2.356(4) Å and the Pt—C(carbene) distance is 1.978(12) Å. The C(carbene)—N bond length is 1.293(16) Å. These dimensions are discussed in terms of the trans influences of the carbene and chloride ligands and the bonding in the carbene species.

The crystal structure of carbonylcyanide-4-chlorophenylhydrazone was solved by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method and interpreted by the heavy atom method. The compound crystallizes in the P21/c monoclinic group with 4 molecules per unit cell and with lattice parameters: a = 1.1843(3), b = 0.5944(1), c = 1.4922(3) nm and β = 117.92(2)°. The structure was refined by the least squares method for 1 078 observed reflections to a final value of R = 4.9%. The crystal structure consists of monomeric units, where hydrogen bonds were observed between atoms N3...H5 0.2193 nm and N3...H3 0.2404 nm between two molecules transformable through centre of symmetry -x, -y, -z. The name 4-chlorophenylhydrazonopropanedinitrile is recommended for the studied compound on the basis of this X-ray structural analysis.

Penta-p-tolylantimony crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 14.545(5), b = 4(6), c = 19.754(8) Å, β = 122.88(4)°, and Z = 4. The structure was solved by the standard heavy-atom method and anisotropic refinement on 1677 independent observed reflections led to a conventional R factor of 0.051. Unlike pentaphenylantimony, which is known to exist as square pyramidal molecules in the crystal, the corresponding penta-p-tolyl derivative exhibits the more common trigonal bipyramid structure. The Sb—C equatorial bond length average, 2.16 Å, is significantly shorter than the axial average, 2.26 Å. Two of the C—Sb—C bond angles in the equatorial plane (113, 130°) differ considerably from 120°, but the other angles around antimony are normal. Packing forces appear to play a determining role in the structures observed for penta-aryl derivatives of antimony in the solid state.
