The crystal structure of 2′-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrophenylsulfinyl)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C17H17NO5S, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, a = 9.848(11), b = 7.654(10), c = 12.513(15) Å, α = 107.33(8), β = 100.73(8), γ = 106.53(8)°, [Formula: see text] with Z = 2. The intensities of 3850 independent reflections were measured on a four circle diffractometer; 2985 reflections were used in the refinement to give a final least-squares residual of 0.053 and a traditional R factor of 0.052.Repulsion between the sulfoxide oxygen atom and the nitro oxygen atoms forces the molecule into the twist-nitro-proximal conformation as opposed to the nitro-distal conformation which has been observed for other bridged diphenyls in this series.

The crystal structure of 2-(2′,6′-dinitrophenoxy)-t-butylbenzene, C16HI5N2O5, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c: a = 13.949(9), b = 9.652(6), c = 23.806(12) Å, β = 93.82(5), Z = 8. The integrated intensities of 6811 reflections were recorded with a four circle automated diffractometer at 20 °C; 3334 of these reflections were used in the refinement of the structure to a least-squares weighted residual of 0.057 and a traditional R factor of 0.057.The two crystallographically independent molecules both have the skew-t-butyl-distal conformation, suggesting that the steric effects of the two ortho-nitro groups play a greater role in determining the conformation than does conjugation with the bridging oxygen atom.

The structure of (4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrophenoxy)benzene, C14H11NO5, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 8.880(7), b = 9.792(4), c = 14.820(5), β = 90.07(5), P21/c with Z = 4. The integrated intensities of 2966 independent reflections were measured on a four-circle diffractometer, 2072 of which were used in the refinement to give a final least-squares weighted residual of 0.062 and a conventional R factor of 0.086. The absence of ortho substituents on one ring of the molecule allows it to adopt the twist-nitro-distal conformation. The lengths of the bonds from the unsubstituted ring and the substituted ring to the bridging oxygen atom are 1.409(3) and 1.353(3) Å respectively. The torsional angles about those bonds are 54.6° and 16.5°. The angle subtended at the bridging oxygen atom is 120.0(3)°.The unusual thermal ellipsoids associated with one of the nitro oxygen atoms of this structure and with a nitro oxygen atom of three related structures occur when the nitro substituent is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring on which it is substituted and also has a neighbouring substituent or bridging group. The unusual thermal ellipsoids then result from repulsive exchange forces.

The structure of 2-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-aminophenoxy)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C17H19NO3, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 23.895(9), b = 7.821(4), c = 16.641(8) Å, β = 99.26(3), C2/c, Z = 8. The integrated intensities of 3540 independent reflections were measured on a four-circle diffractometer. A total of 2403 of these reflections was used in the refinement to give a final least-squares weighted residual of 0.069 and a conventional R factor of 0.096. The molecule adopts the skew-amino-distal conformation as does the analogous ortho-nitro-substituted compound. The lengths of the bonds from the amino substituted ring and the mesityl ring are 1.404(3) and 1.376(4) Å respectively and the torsional angles about those bonds are ±5.8 and [Formula: see text]. The angle subtended at the bridging oxygen atom is 120.1°. Variations in the endocyclic angles subtended at substituted ring carbon atoms in this and other bridged diphenyls may be understood in terms of a combination of hybridization effects, and the spatial requirements of the bonds to substituents.

The crystal structure of trans-[Pt(DMF)(2,6-lutidine)Cl2] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with a = 11.612(13), b = 26.504(33), c = 9.271(9) Å, and Z = 8. The structure was refined by full matrix least-squares analysis to a conventional R factor of 0.051 and a weighted Rw = 0.044. The coordination around the platinum atom is square planar. The 2,6-lutidine ring is perpendicular to the platinum plane. DMF is bonded to platinum through the oxygen atom. It is planar and makes an angle of 71 ° with the platinum plane. The cis–trans configuration of the [Pt(DMF)(L)Cl2] (L = pyridine derivative) complexes in DMF solution is discussed.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(S2COEt)2(C9H6NO)2], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 298 K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.049 for 1771 ?observed? reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a 12.21(1), b 24.33(1), c 9.159(7) Ǻ, β 102.12(6)°, Z 4. The environment of the tin atom is six- coordinate: the two coordinating sulfur atoms of the monodentate xanthate ligands lie cis in the coordination sphere [Sn-S, 2.484(4), 2.510(4) Ǻ], and one in turn trans to the two oxine nitrogen atoms [Sn- N, 2.260(8), 2.237(10) Ǻ]. The remaining positions, trans to each other, are occupied by the oxine oxygen atoms [Sn-O, 2.047(7), 2.065(8) Ǻ]. O-Sn-O is 157.0(3)°. The overall point symmetry of the molecule is a good approximation to 2.

The crystal structures of the title compounds, [Ni(OH2)4(en)] [SO4].2H2O, (1), and [Ni(OH2)4(bpy)]- [SO4].2H2O, (2), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by full matrix least-squares methods to residuals of 0.028,0.031 for 1852, 4323 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, C2/c, a 9.459(4), b 12.192(7), c 12.294(3) �, β 119.84(4)�, Z 4. In the cation, Ni-N is 2.061(2) �; Ni-O (trans to O, N respectively) are 2.106(2), 2.063(2) �. Instead of being enlarged above 90� as predicted from repulsion theory, the angle between the pair of oxygen atoms trans to nitrogen is diminished, being 87 14(7)�. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 11.476(5), b 9.351(5), c 7.793(4) �, α 77.63(4), β 83.52(3), γ87.40(4)�, Z 2. In the cation, Ni-N are both 2.063(2) �. Ni-O (trans to N, O respectively) are 2.060(2), 2.O42(2); 2.O80(2), 2�. The short Ni-O distance [2.042(2)�] is associated with the coordination of a trigonal water molecule.

The crystal structure of triclinic rubidium dichromate has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to space group [Formula: see text] with a = 13.554, b = 7.640, c = 7.735 Å, α = 93.64°, β = 98.52°, γ = 88.80° and has four Rb2Cr2O7 units in the unit cell. The final weighted agreement index after refinement by least-squares analysis is 0.058. The configuration of the dichromate ions is similar to that found in most other dichromate structures (Cr—O (bridging) = 1.78 Å, Cr—O (terminal) = 1.62 Å). The two non-equivalent Cr—O—Cr angles are 123 and 137°. The rubidium ions are surrounded by either 8 or 9 oxygen atoms at distances ranging from 2.86 to 3.31 Å. The structure of triclinic Rb2Cr2O7 is similar, but not identical, to that of triclinic K2Cr2O7.

The crystal structure of the title compound, Na2C104 [CO(C2N2H8)2(SO3)2],3H2O, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.033 for 2693 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/c, a 16.271(3), b 12.298(2), c 9.567(2) �, β 105.85(1)�, Z 4. The Co-S distances differ significantly, probably a consequence of interaction of the sulfite oxygen atoms with adjacent sodium ions [Co-S, 2.206(1), 2.233(1) �]; the Co-N distances trans to the sulfite groups are significantly longer [2.015(3), 2.003(4) �] than those trans to each other [1.964(4), 1.959(3) �].

The structure of 2-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrothiophenyl)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C17H17-NO4S, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 18.616(15), b = 5.739(8), c = 15.712(14) Å, β = 101.97(3)°, P21/c with Z = 4. The intensities of 3820 independent reflections were measured on a four circle diffractometer; 2825 reflections were used in the refinement of the structure to give a final least-squares weighted residual of 0.059 and a traditional R factor of 0.054. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups on one of the phenyl rings increases the conjugation between the ring and the sulfur atom in a similar manner as that observed in diphenyl ethers. The mesityl ring is nearly orthogonal to the C—S—C plane.
