In(SPh)3 is readily prepared by the reaction of InCl3 and NaSPh in methanol. The compound is a Lewis acid, forming 1:1 adducts with 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine, bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, and dimethylsulphoxide, and 1:2 adducts with pyridine, trimethylamine, and triphenylphosphine. Reaction with R4NX (X = Cl, Br, I) or similar salts gives R4N[XIn(SPh)3] salts, which are 1:1 electrolytes. The structure of Ph4P[BrIn(SPh)3] has been determined by X-ray methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with cell dimensions a = 9.964(3) Å, b = 13.477(3) Å, c = 30.359(7) Å, α = 98.30(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.0622 for 2924 unique observed reflections. The anion has distorted tetrahedral symmetry in the InBrS3 kernel, with In—Br = 2.527(2) Å, and In—S(av) = 2.450 Å. The vibrational spectra of In(SPh)3 and its derivatives in the region 500–200 cm−1 are discussed.

Complexes of the lighter lanthanide nitrates with stilbeno-15-crown-5 (L) have been prepared in ethyl acetate. These new complexes with the general formula Ln (NO3)3.L.H2O ( Ln = La, Ce , Pr, Nd ) have been characterized by means of elemental analyses, i.r . spectra, 1H n.m.r. spectra and conductivity measurements. The crystal structure of La(NO3)3.L has been determined by X-ray methods, and refined to a residual R 0.0513 for 4937 independent reflections with I ≥ 1.5σ(I). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/a with a 16.090(5), b 15.654(8), c 22.687(2) Ǻ, β 93.96(4)°, V 5700(4)Ǻ3, and Z 8. There are two independent La(NO3)3.L monomers in one asymmetric unit; in each the coordination number is 11.

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.

The crystal structure of the herbicide acifluorfen (5-[(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl)]phenoxy-2- nitrobenzoic acid] has been determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to a residual of 0.051for 1124 observed reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c with cell dimensions a 26.848(7), b 8 .O29(2), c 19 .Ol4(6) �, ,R l34.72(2)� and Z 8. The molecules form centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O---0, 2.637(7) �] with the carboxylic acid group and the phenoxy group synclinally related to the first phenyl ring while the nitro substituent isessentially coplanar with the ring.


The preliminary results of an X-ray study of crystalline horse met-myoglobin are described. This protein crystallizes in the monoclinic space-group P2 1 with two molecules in general positions in the unit cell. The optical properties of the crystals show that the haem groups are parallel and lie approximately in the plane containing b and the internal bisector of β. a and c Patterson projections contain ridges of high vector density perpendicular to b and 15*4A apart; it is deduced that in real space the contents of the cell are arranged in pronounced layers of alternately high and low electron density, also perpendicular to b and 15*4 A apart. The b projections also exhibit rods of high vector density, 9*5 A apart and inclined at 20° to a . These rods are identified as the vector equivalents of the polypeptide chains, which thus run parallel to [20T] and 9*5 A apart. A Patterson projection along [20T] shows the rods well-resolved and in end-on view; by making certain plausible assumptions a Fourier projection has been made along the same direction. During shrinkage the cell dimensions change in such a way that the inter-chain distance alters very little; it is deduced that the molecules have flat sides parallel to (102) and that the liquid of crystallization is situated mainly on their [20T] faces. During shrinkage liquid is withdrawn and the molecules slide past one another along their flat sides. It is not possible to determine the whole shape of the molecule unequivocally; the most plausible model is a platelet built of four parallel co-planar lengths of chain each 54 A long (see figure 13). There are striking analogies between the structures of myoglobin and of horse haemoglobin. The type of chain folding seems to be the same in the two proteins, and probably the same as in a-keratin; and it may be that myoglobin has a structure analogous to that of one of the four layers of which haemoglobin is believed to be built up, the molecular weights of the two proteins being in the ratio 1:4.

The crystal structure of Di-µ-hydroxy-bis [aquo-triamminecobalt (III)] nitrate-2-hydrate has been determined by x-ray diffraction using counter techniques. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2h5-P21/n with a=9.444 (2), b=9.684 (3), c=10.736 (3) Å, β=90.1 (2)°, Z= 2. A total of 1765 independent reflections was used in solving the structure, which was refined to a conventional R1-factor of 0.047. It was not possible to distinguish by x-ray methods between the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the NH3- and H2O molecules in the complex cation, because of their similarity in point of electrostatical and spatial behaviour.

Copper(I) perchlorate, nitrate, and acetylacetonate complexes of the types Cu(triphos)ClO4 (triphos = CH3C(CH2PPh2)3), Cu(Cy3P)2ClO4 (Cy3P = P(C6H11)3), Cu(triphos)NO3, Cu(Cy3P)2(HFac)(HFac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate), and Cu (Cy3P)2(TtFac) (TtFac = thienyltrifluoroacetylacetonate) have been synthesized by reduction of the corresponding perchlorate, nitrate, and acetylacetonates with tertiary phosphines. Infrared spectra indicate the presence of monodentate perchlorate groups in Cu(triphos)ClO4 and in Cu(Cy3P)2ClO4 and the crystal structure of the latter has been determined by a three-dimensional X-ray analysis using diffractometer data. The crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with cell dimensions a = 18.159(6), b = 9.493(2), c = 22.182(3) Å, and β = 95.41(2)° and four molecules per unit cell. The structure was refined by block-diagonal least squares methods to a final R of 0.051 for 2617 reflections using anisotropic thermal parameters for the nonhydrogen atoms. The structure consists of discrete Cu(Cy3P)2ClO4 molecules with symmetry C2 separated by normal van der Waals distances. The copper atom is three-coordinate and the perchlorate anion is monodentate but disordered over two sites. Principal dimensions include: Cu—P 2.262(1) Å, Cu—O 2.220(7) Å, [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] and 99.8(2)°, and [Formula: see text]

The crystal structure of anhydrous sodium hydrogen o-phenylenedioxydiacetate , [Na2( Hbdda )2]n, has been determined by X-ray methods and refined to a residual R 0.031 for 1234 observed reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c with Z 4 in a cell of dimensions a 18.415(6), b 7.4667(7), c 16.354(7) � ,β112.61(2)�. The dimeric repeating unit has two centrosymmetrically related pentagonal pyramidal Na-O6 complex centres [Na-0, 2.272-2.439(2) � ] bridged by carboxylate oxygens. The pentagonal plane comprises four oxygens from the Hbdda ligand as well as one providing the bridging link. The axial bond gives the step-polymer link while the carboxylic acid proton is hydrogen bonded to a carboxylate oxygen of the inversion-related Hbdda ligand [O…O, 2.469(2) � ].

In ordinary circumstances crystal-angles are measured by means of light reflected from the crystal-faces. In the partial or complete absence of faces the determination of axial ratios and angles may be impossible. In a recent investigation of certain derivatives of glyoxaline, an example of this was found. It was, in fact, the substance glyoxaline itself, which always occurred as long prisms having four faces in the prism-zone; the ends of the prisms were jagged and rough, and no siglls of optically reflecting-planes could be found on these ends. In such a case, X-ray methods of investigation are now available, and the problem in question is the determination of the dimensions of the unit-cell, not the complete X-ray inveatigation of the structure.
