The molecular structures of exo-7-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, 3, and the endo-7-methyl isomer, 4, have been determined using X-ray-diffraction techniques. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 15.115(1), c = 7.677(2) Å, and Z = 8 while 4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 6.446(1), b = 7.831(1), c = 8.414(2) Å, β = 94.42(2)°, and Z = 2. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to final agreement factors of R = 0.041 and R = 0.034 for 3 and 4 respectively. Compound 3 exists in a chair–chair conformation and there is no significant flattening of the chair rings. However, in 4, the non-ketone ring is forced into a boat conformation. These results are significant in interpreting what conformations may be present in the related sp2-hybridized carbocations.

Refinement on 1675 observed reflections measured with Cu Kα radiation converged at R 0.034. The seven- membered ring adopts a boat conformation in which the pseudo plane of symmetry passes through the ring oxygen.

The crystal structure of (1S,3S,4R)-1,3,8-tribromo-p-menthan-2-one has been determined from X-ray diffraction data and refined to a final residual of 0.075 for 635 'observed' reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, of space group P212121 with four molecules in a cell of dimensions a 15.248(3), b 12.189(3), c 7.201(2) �. The analysis confirms that the molecule exists in a distorted twist-boat conformation.

The thermolysis of arachno-1 [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H8)(CS2H)] in the presence of tellurium powder yielded a series of ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes: [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 2, [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3B(SMe)}] 3, and [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 4. Compounds 2–4 were considered as ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes, where the central six-membered ring {C2BS3} adopted a boat conformation. Compounds 2–4 were similar to our recently reported ruthenium diborinane complex [(Cp*Ru){(η2-SCHS)CH2S2(BH2)2}]. Unlike diborinane, where the central six-membered ring {CB2S3} adopted a chair conformation, compounds 2–4 adopted a boat conformation. In an attempt to convert arachno-1 into a closo or nido cluster, we pyrolyzed it in toluene. Interestingly, the reaction led to the isolation of a capped butterfly cluster, [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H5)(CS2H2)] 5. All the compounds were characterized by 1H, 11B{1H}, and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of complexes 2, 3, and 5 were also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The reaction of (Ph3P)2PtC2H4 with the divinyldisiloxane (CH2=CHSiMe2)2O in toluene yields Pt{(η2-H2C=CHSiMe2)2O}PPh3, which has been characterized by IR, 1H, 13C, 31P NMR and MS spectra. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction: space group C2/c, Z = 16, a = 5534.2(9), b = 842.6(2), c = 2383.1(2) pm, β = 103.73(1)°, R/Rw = 0.047/0.052. It shows a three-coordinate platinum atom with one phosphine and one sym-tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane ligand acting as a chelating bidentate η/2-ligand to give a chair conformation of the six-membered PtC2Si2O-ring system.

Alkaline chlorination of the 4-alkyl-2,6-dichlorophenols (2b) and (2c) proceeds through ring contraction and halolactonization to form the 4α- alkyl-2,2,5α-trichloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4-carbolactones (4b) and (4c). Under similar conditions, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol affords the analogous 2,2,4α,5α-tetrachloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4- carbolactone (4a) in low yield, in addition to the Hantzsch acid (3a) as the major product. The acid (3a) upon further treatment undergoes chloro-lactonization to give the lactone (4a). The structures of the lactones (4b) and (4c) follow from spectroscopic comparison with (4a), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction (C6H4Cl4O4 orthorhombic a 13.485(1), b 12.348(1), c 11.371(1) Ǻ, space group Pccn, Z 8, solved by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal and full-matrix least squares to R 0.031, Rw 0.043 for 1313 unique counter data with I/σ(I) ≥ 3.0).

The crystal structure of [(η4-C8H12)PdBr2] has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction with R = 3.82% for 2 147 independent diffractions. The compound crystallizes with the symmetry of orthorhombic space group P212121 (No. 19) within the following parameters: a = 7.0785(5) Å, b = 11.1896(9) Å, c = 12.514(1) Å, V = 991.2(1) Å3, Z = 4. The square planar arrangement of ligands around Pd(II) is distorted due to the steric requirements of 1,5-cyclooctadiene in a twisted boat conformation. Formula units are joined by the weak C2-H2...Br1(1 + x, y, z) hydrogen bonds.

The crystal structure of triclinic potassium dichromate has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The cell constants are a = 13.367, b = 7.376, c = 7.445 Å, α = 90.75°, β = 96.21°, γ = 97.96° with four K2Cr2O7 units per cell. Refinement of 2600 reflections in both the space groups P1 and [Formula: see text] leads to the same structure. This is in agreement with the results of anomalous dispersion measurements, confirming that [Formula: see text] is the correct space group. The final agreement index, R, is 0.054. The two crystallographically independent dichromate ions are similar, deviating only slightly from C2v) symmetry. The Cr—O (terminal) distance is 1.63 Å, the Cr—O (bridging) distance is 1.79 Å and all angles at the chromium atoms are tetrahedral except for one of the O(bridging)—Cr—O(terminal) angles in each ion which is 106°. The angles at the bridging oxygen atoms are 124° and 128°. The geometry of the anion is compared with that found in a number of similar groups.

The crystal and molecular structures of two trans-1,2,4,5-tetraza-diphospha-3,6-cyclohexane- 3,6-disulfides, 2 and 3, have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The 3,6-diphenyl- 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl-derivative 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C He. Its P2N 4 heterocycle adopts a twist conformation. In contrast, the hexamethyl derivative 3 is triclinic, space group P1̅, and its ring shows chair conformation. Torsion angles in these two compounds and similar ones reveal less interaction between lone pairs of electrons on adjacent N-atoms in the chair conformation but stronger interaction of those bound to phosphorus. It is suggested that the latter interaction is responsible for the larger N -P -N bond angle (107°) as compared to the smaller one (101°) in the P2N4 rings present in twist conformation.

The crystal structure of [AsPh4] [TcOCl4] (1) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystals are tetragonal, space group P4/n, a 12.664(1), c 7.822(1) � , Z = 2. Refinement based on 912 data measured with Cu Ka radiation converged with R 0.059. The structure consists of discrete [AsPh4]+ cations and [TcOCl4]- anions with the technetium atom in a square-pyramidal environment. In contrast to an earlier structural determination of the [TcOCl]-anion in [N(PPh3)2] [TcOCl4], the [TcOCl4]-anion in (1) possesses ideal symmetry. The Tc =O bond length is 1.593(8) � with Tc -CI 2.309(2) �.
