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)°.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

The polymeric structure consists of Cu atoms with flattened tetrahedral coordination geometry linked by double phosphinate bridges.

The Cu(I) complex [Me2Ga(OCH2CH2NMe2)N2C5H7]Cu•PPh3 has been synthesized and its fluxional behavior in solution probed. Attempts have been made to isolate the analogous Cu(I) carbonyl complex. Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)(N,N-dimethylethanolamino)gallato (N(2),O,N(3))](triphenylphosphine)copper(I) are monoclinic, a = 18.871(2), b = 9.464(1), c = 18.374(2) Ā, β = 109.62(1)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.028 and Rw = 0.035 for 2729 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The copper atom is bonded to the phosphine and to the tridentate Me2Ga(OCH2CH2NMe2)N2C5H7− ligand resulting in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The Cu—P distance of 2.156(1) Å is unusually short. Other important bond distances (corrected for libration) are: Cu—O, 2.163(2), Cu—N(pyrazolyl), 2.025(3), Cu—N(amino), 2.144(3), Ga—O, 1.896(3), Ga—N, 2.005(3), and Ga—C, 1.972(5) and 1.987(5) Å.

The crystal structure of 1,4-diphenyl-2,2′,3,3′,5,5′,6,6′-octamethylcyclo-1,4-diphospha-2,3,5,6-tetrasilahexane, (PhPSi2Me4)2, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 9.866(1), b = 11.921(1), and c = 11.324(2) Å, β = 104.31(1)°, Z = 2, and ρcalcd = 1.15 g/cm3. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.060 and Rw of 0.078, for 1173 reflections with intensities greater than 3σ. The (PhPSi2Me4)2 molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, and the six-membered P2Si4 ring has a chair conformation with equatorial phenyl groups. The endocyclic angles at P (104.4(1)°) and Si (104.9(2)°) are intermediate between those found in cyclic hexaphosphine and hexasilane molecules, and the Si—Si and P—Si distances of 2.345(3) and 2.252(4) Å, respectively, correspond to single bond lengths, with no appreciable evidence for secondary pπ → dπ bonding between phosphorus and silicon. The Si—C (1.867(8) Å) and P—C (1.828(7) Å) bond lengths are also normal. The variations in the Si—P—C (101.6(2)°, 108.6(2)°), P—Si—C (range 106.2(3)–120.0(3)°), and Si—Si—C (range 105.8(3)–113.7(3)°) angles indicate that the positions of the exocyclic methyl and phenyl groups are influenced by both intra- and intermolecular steric forces.

Reaction of aqueous solutions containing CO2+ or Ni2+ and PF6−, or AsF6− with excess 3-methylpyridine yields crystals of compounds of composition M(H2O)2(3mpy)6(EF6)2. Blue crystals of diaquohexakis(3-methylpyridine)nickel(II) hexafluorophosphate, C36H46F12NiN6O2P2, are monoclinic, a = 10.497(1), b = 20.074(3), c = 21.836(5) Å, β = 103.93(2)°, Z = 4, space group Cc. The structure was determined with MoKα CAD4 diffractometer data by direct methods, and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.048 for 2723 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of {Ni(3mpy)4[(OH2)(3mpy)]2}2+ cations and PF6− anions. The cation contains a NiN4O2 chromophore with water molecules occupying trans positions of a distorted octahedron about nickel. One additional 3-methylpyridine molecule is H-bonded to each of the water molecules with [Formula: see text] distances of 2.717(11) and 2.719(11) Å. Weak interaction of each water molecule via its second hydrogen atom with a PF6− ion is indicated by the positioning of the anions. The [Formula: see text] distances are 2.958(11) and 2.959(11) Å. Two other complexes of this type, where M is Ni and E is As and where M is Co and E is P, are reported here and on the basis of spectroscopic and magnetic studies are assigned structures similar to the Ni/P complex.Decomposition of the aquo complexes under mild conditions yields compounds of composition M(3mpy)4(EF6)2. Ni(3mpy)4(PF6)2 is assigned a square planar structure with weakly interacting PF6−, anions in axial positions. Both Co(3mpy)4(EF6)2 complexes, where E is P or As, have tetrahedral [Co(3mpy)4]2+ cations and non-coordinated anions.
