Synthesis and 31P nmr spectra of the complex cations, cis-[PtCl(L)(PEt3)2]+, L= theophylline, caffeine, or isocaffeine, and cis[Pt(isocaff)2(PEt3)2]2+ are reported. The crystal structure of cis-[PtCl(caffeine)(PEt3)2][BF4] is determined, space group [Formula: see text], a = 1.1766(6), b = 1.4428(5), c = 0.9002(4) nm, α = 97.28(4)°, β = 97.69(4)°, γ = 100.96(5)°, Dm = 1.649 g cm−1, the bond lengths are Pt—Cl= 233.4(4) pm, Pt—N = 215(1) pm, Pt—P = 225.4(5) pm (mean), and the residual R = 0.071. The crystal structure of cis-[Pt(isocaffeine)2(PEt3)2][BF4]2 is orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 2.317(3), b = 1.717(3), c = 2.130(3) nm, Dm = 1.574 g cm−3, with an opposing isocaffeine conformation, bond lengths Pt—N = 211(2) pm, Pt—P = 227.6(9) pm (mean), and R = 0.073. Both crystal structures contain approximately square planar Pt(II) coordination with the purine coordinated via an imidazole nitrogen. The structures are discussed as models for the possible involvement of [Formula: see text] chelation of guanine to platinum when platinum drugs act as antitumour agents, but there is no evidence that isocaffeine acts as an [Formula: see text] chelate.

Abstract Two polymorphic forms of 1-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)thiourea (1) and the crystal and molecular structures of the 2-aminothiazoles N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine (2) and N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)-4-(pyrazin-2-yl)thiazol-2-amine (3), derived from 1 and the respective α-bromoketone via the Hantzsch reaction, are described. Both polymorphic forms 1α (space group P21/c, Z = 4) and 1β (space group P21/n, Z = 8) crystallize in the monoclinic system but exhibit distinctly different intermolecular hydrogen bonding patterns. Compound 2 (orthorhombic, space group Pca21, Z = 8) forms polymeric N–H⋯N hydrogen-bonded zigzag tapes in the polar crystal structure, with a significant twisting between the thiazole and pyridine rings. In contrast, the crystal structure of 3 (monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4) features nearly planar centrosymmetric N–H⋯N hydrogen-bonded dimers, which are laterally joined through long C–H⋯N contacts, affording a π⋯π stacked layered structure. Graphic Abstract Two polymorphs of 1-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)thiourea and the crystal and molecular structures of two 2-aminothiazoles, derived from 1-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)thiourea and α-bromoketones via Hantzsch reaction, are reported.

The crystal and molecular structures of two rhodium(I) complexes with long-chain alkyne- or alkene-α,ω-diyldiphosphines have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. RhCl(CO){But2P(CH2)4C≡C(CH2)4PBut2} crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with a 21.991 (2), b 11.915(1), c 11.890(1) Ǻ and Z 4. The structure was refined by least-squares methods to a conventional R factor of 0.097 for 1768 independent reflections (Mo Kα diffraction data). The rhodium ion is in a square-planar coordination geometry with trans-phosphorus atoms; the unsaturated (alkynyl) group is not bonded to the rhodium. Crystals of RhCl{But2P(CH2)2CH=CH(CH2)2- PBut2} are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 20.783(12), b 8.580(4), c 14.799(9) Ǻ, β 100.70(2)°, Z 4. The structure analysis has converged to R 0.069 for 1417 reflections (Mo Kα diffractometry); the coordination geometry of the rhodium is again planar with the ethylenic group occupying a single bonding site. The effect of ring size on the rhodium-phosphorus bond lengths is discussed.

The structures of two crystalline modifications of mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-cis-Cl2IrIII, (1), have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Modification (A) is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 12.635(1), b 30.605(3), c 14.992(2)Ǻ, β 110.01(2)° and Z = 8. Modification (B) is orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a 27.646(3), b 11.366(1), c 17.252(2)Ǻ and Z = 8. The structures were solved by conventional heavy atom techniques and refined by full-matrix least- squares analyses to conventional R values of 0.037 [(A), 8845 independent reflections] and 0.028 [(B), 5291 independent reflections]. Important bond lengths [Ǻ] are Ir -P(trans to Cl ) 2.249(1) av. (A) and 2.234(1) (B), Ir -P(trans to PMe2Ph) 2.339(2) av. (A) and 2.344(1), 2.352(1) (B), Ir-Cl (trans to H) 2.492(2), 2.518(2) (A) and 2.503(1) (B) and Ir-Cl (trans to PMe2Ph)2.452(2) av. (A) and 2.449(1)(B). Differences in chemically equivalent metal- ligand bond lengths emphasize the importance of non-bonded contacts in determining those lengths.

The crystal structures of the complexes (SP-4-2)-cis-bis[8-(dimethylphosphanyl)quinoline-κ2 N,P]nickel(II) bis(perchlorate) nitromethane monosolvate, [Ni(C11H12NP)2](ClO4)2·CH3NO2 (1), and (SP-4-2)-cis-bis[8-(dimethylphosphanyl)quinoline-κ2 N,P]platinum(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate) acetonitrile monosolvate, [Pt(C11H12NP)2](BF4)2·C2H3N (2), are reported. In both complex cations, two phosphanylquinolines act as bidentate P,N-donating chelate ligands and form the mutually cis configuration in the square-planar coordination geometry. The strong trans influence of the dimethylphosphanyl donor group is confirmed by the Ni—N bond lengths in 1, 1.970 (2) and 1.982 (2) Å and, the Pt—N bond lengths of 2, 2.123 (4) and 2.132 (4) Å, which are relatively long as compared to those in the analogous 8-(diphenylphosphanyl)quinoline complexes. Mutually cis-positioned quinoline donor groups would give a severe steric hindrance between their ortho-H atoms. In order to reduce such a steric congestion, the NiII complex in 1 shows a tetrahedral distortion of the coordination geometry, as parameterized by τ4 = 0.199 (1)°, while the PtII complex in 2 exhibits a typical square-planar coordination geometry [τ4 = 0.014 (1)°] with a large bending deformation of the ideally planar Me2Pqn chelate planes. In the crystal structure of 2, three F atoms of one of the BF4 − anions are disordered over two sets of positions with refined occupancies of 0.573 (10) and 0.427 (10).

The (�)-benzyl(methyl)(4-methylphenyl)(naphthalen-1-yl)arsonium cation has been synthesized and subsequently resolved by fractional crystallization of monohydrogen [R-(R*,R*)]-2,3-bis(benzoyloxy)- butanedioate salts. The separated diastereoisomers were converted into the corresponding optically active arsonium bromides by ion-exchange column chromatography. The absolute configuration of the arsonium cation exhibiting a positive rotation at 589 nm (sodium D line) has been established as (R) by single-crystal X-ray analysis of both the bromide and hexafluorophosphate salts. The arsonium bromide with [α]D + 54.8�(c, 0.62 in CH2Cl2) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (D24, No.19) with a 22.472(8), b 15.724(7), c 12.585(5) � and U 4447(3) �3. The corresponding hexafluorophosphate with [α]D + 19.3� (c, 0.5 in CH2Cl2) crystallizes in the same space group with a 23.56(2), b 16.40(1), c 13.12(1) � and U 5067(6) � 3. Benzylidene transfer to benzaldehyde from the arsonium ylide derived from either of the arsonium salts produced optically pure (–)-(S)-methyl(4-methylphenyl)(naphthalen-1-yl)arsine, [α]D - 115.9� (c, 0.593 in CHCl3), and partly resolved [R-(R*,R*)]-2,3-diphenyloxiran.

The structures of [Pt(S2CN(C2H5)2)2] (1) and [Pt(S2CN(C2H4OH)2)2] (2) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Compound (1) crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42/n, a 16.4692(10),c 6.2160(6) � (Z = 4); R was 0.029 for 1012 observed reflections. Compound (2) is monoclinic, space group Pc, a 6-0663(11), b 1.1784(15), c 12.5740(21) � ,β92.569(8)� (Z = 2); R was 0.019 for 1573 observed reflections. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups in the ligands of (2) appears to have little effect on the Pt-S distances but causes an increase in the C-N bond length, with the C-N bond lengths being significantly different at the 2 σ level.

The synthesis and crystal and molecular structures of the platinum(II) complex Pt(HL)Cl where H2L is the diacid diamide –[CH2N(CH2COOH)CH2CONH2]2, a hydrolytic metabolite of an antitumour active bis(3,5-dioxopiperazin-1-yl)alkane are reported. The complex is square planar and contains HL− as a tridentate 2N (amino), O (carboxylate) donor. The metal to ligand bond distances are Pt-Cl 2.287(1) Å, Pt-O 2.002 (1) Å, Pt-Ntrans Cl 2.014(1) Å and Pt-Ntrans O 2.073 Å. There is extensive hydrogen bonding, each molecule of Pt(HL)Cl being intermolecularly hydrogen bonded to ten others giving a 3-dimensional network. There is also one intramolecular H-bond.

X-ray analyses of monoclinic crystals of the bispyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline adducts of the monothioacetylacetonate complex bis(ethyl 3-mercaptobut-2-enoato)nickel(n), Ni(eosm)2,* have defined their structures. Crystals of the bispyridine adduct Ni(eosm)2,py2, C22H28N2NiO4S2, belong to the space group P21/c with a 8.865(6), b 15.758(4), c 9.136(3)Ǻ, β 109.18(4)°, Z 2. Crystals of the 1,10-phenanthroline adduct Ni(eosm)2,phen, C24H26N2NiO4S2, belong to the space group P21c with a 12.451(2), b 16.949(1), c 15 5921(2) Ǻ, β 130.97(1)°, Z 4. The structures were refined with diffractometer data measured with Cu Ka radiation to R 0.047 (1962 terms) for the bispyridine adduct and R 0.061 (3115 terms) for the phenanthroline adduct. The geometry about the nickel in each complex is distorted octahedral. The molecule of the bispyridine adduct has exact rn symmetry with the two sulfur atoms cis-equatorial and the nitrogen atoms axial. In the phenan- throline adduct, pairs of sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen atoms are in cis configurations. In the bis-pyridine adduct, the Ni-N bond lengths, 2.153(3) and 2.182(4) Ǻ, are significantly longer than those in other bispyridine adducts of nickel(II) species. It is suggested that the long Ni-N distances reflect the relative instability of the bispyridine adduct, and thermodynamic data are presented to support this.

Abstract Gd(HSO4)3 is obtained on treatment of Gd2(SO4)3 in conc. H2SO4 in closed vessels at 200 °C. The extremely moisture-sensitive crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group Pbca. Lattice constants are a = 12.080(8), b = 9.574(8), c = 16.513(8)Å and Z = 8. Gadolinium is coordinated by eight oxygen atoms of the hydrogensulfate ligands forming a distorted square antiprism. There are three different HSO4- anions within the structure. One of them is coordinated with two Gd atom s while two HSO4- anions bridge three Gd atoms. The Gd-O bond lengths vary in the range of 2.334(6)-2.423(5)Å .
