The desulfurization of benzo[b]thiophene 1 with aqueous transition metal species in the presence of various hydrocarbons at elevated temperatures is described. Mechanistic studies have shown that treatment of 1 with solutions of RuCl3 and other platinum metal species results in the formation of 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene 2 and ethylbenzene 3 as major products. Metal coordinated species are probable intermediates in the formation of 2 and hydrocarbon products. 2 readily coordinates to PdCl2 to form square-planar trans-dichlorobis(2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene) palladium(II), which decomposes to ethylbenzene at 300 °C. The crystal structure of the complex was determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The complex crystallized in the monoclinic space group C 2/c with Z = 8 in a cell of dimensions a = 23.057 (3), b = 9.711 (1), c = 15.227 (2) Å and β = 99.74(1)°. The structure was solved by the Fourier method and was refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to R = 0.042 for 2537 observed data with I > 2.5σ(I). Key words: benzo[b]thiophene, desulfurization, platinum metal species.

An X-ray diffraction study of [Pt3S2(PMe2Ph)6][BEt4]2 shows that it crystallises in the monoclinic space group, C2/c, with a = 15.447(2), b = 18.033(3), c = 26.505(5) Å, β = 96.73(2)°. The cation consists of three, distorted, square-planar cis-PtS2(PMe2Ph)2 moieties combined by sharing of the two sulphur atoms to produce a central Pt3S2 unit with C2 symmetry and Pt—Pt distances of 3.182(1) Å (one edge) and 3.108(1) Å (two edges). Complete analysis and computer simulation of 31P{1H} and 195Pt{1H} nuclear magnetic resonance spectra give values for 1J(Pt—P), 3202 Hz; 3J(Pt—P), −25 Hz; and 2J(Pt—Pt), 476 Hz. The structure is compared with previous results for analogous Ni and Pd complexes and the structural and nmr parameters are discussed with reference to the possibility of metal–metal interactions.

Silver(I) anthranilate, [Ag2(C7H6NO2)2]n, was isolated as the major constituent in the attempted preparation of the adduct of anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid) with silver(I) p-toluenesulfonate and its structure has been determined by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of the complex are monoclinic, space group P 21/n, with two dimers in a cell of dimensions a 5·3516(8), b 4·9746(2), c 25·386(5) Å, β 91· 547(8)°. The complex repeating unit comprises a distorted centrosymmetric biscarboxylato(-O,O′)-bridged dimer [Ag−O, 2·223, 2·409(4) Å; Ag---Ag 2·9128(9) Å] but has, in addition, a third bond to an adjacent amine nitrogen [Ag−N, 2·301(5) Å], which extends the structure into a zigzag chain polymer. The stereochemistry about each Ag centre is distorted trigonal planar [angle range, 89·9−142·9(2)°]. Relatively short inter-dimer Ag---Ag separations [2·989(1) Å] are also present.

The crystal and molecular structures of pentane-2,4-dionato-(2,3,5,6-tetrahapto-2,3-dicarbomethoxo[2.2.1]bicycloheptadienerhodium(I), Rh(C5H7O2)(C7H6(CO2CH3)2), have been measured by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The orange crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4, a = 9.245(4), b = 9.003(4), c = 21.680(15) Å, β = 113.41(5)°. The calculated and observed densities are 1.645 and 1.642(5) respectively. Intensity data were collected on a Syntex [Formula: see text] diffractometer and a full matrix least squares refinement on 3010 observed reflections leads to a conventional R = 0.0660. The structure can be considered as a roughly square planar arrangement of ligands around the rhodium atom composed of two β-ketoenolate oxygen atoms (Rh—O, 2.037(5) and 2.025(5) Å ) and the centers of the two ethylenic groups. The Rh—C distances for the olefin group attached to the two carbomethoxo groups, 2.117(8), 2.108(8) Å, appear to be slightly larger than those for the other olefinic group, 2.087(7), 2.082(6), and the corresponding C=C distances of 1.375(10) and 1.410(9) Å are different at the 95% confidence level.

The crystal structures of the title compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The molecule of the Z isomer, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 4 in a cell of dimensions a = 14.891 (2), b = 10.780(2), c = 8.769(1) Å, β = 97.47(2)°, V = 1395.7(7) Å3 has crystallographic twofold symmetry. The E form crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 11.730(1), b = 6.932(1), c = 16.841(1) Å, V = 1369.4(2) Å3 and Z = 4. Its molecules have crystallographically dictated [Formula: see text] symmetry. In both isomers the phenyl rings are roughly perpendicular to the average ethylene plane. The atoms characterizing this plane show significant deviations from planarity in the Z isomer. Marked bond-angle distortions at the ethene carbons of both structures are observed. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the compounds were measured and, particularly in the case of the 1H chemical shifts, fall into two quite separate spectral regions. At low temperature, two conformational isomers, those with different relative orientation of the C—Cl bonds of the phenyl rings, are observed in the spectrum of each compound. Keywords: chlorostilbenes, overcrowded molecules. X-ray structure, conformations, NMR spectroscopy.

The 1:1 complex of palladium(II) chloride with 2-(2-methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazolidin-5-yl)- pyridine (L) has been prepared and studied by means of elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (monoclinic, space group P21/n with parameters: a = 8.141(2), b = 9.750(2),c = 20.691(6)Å ,β = 95.62(3)°,V = 1634.4(7)Å3 ,Z = 4 ;R1= 0.054 and wR2= 0.144 for 3352 unique reflections). A square-planar coordination polyhedron has been established for the palladium atom both in acetone solution and in the solid state. The organic ligand is coordinated toometal in a bidentate manner via nitrogen atoms of the pyridine substituent (Pd-N(2) 2.125(3) Å) and the isoxazolidine heterocycle (Pd-N(l) 2.102(3) Å). The other two coordination positions of palladium are occupied by chlorine atoms (Pd-Cl(l) 2.321(1) and Pd-Cl(2) 2.333(1) Å). The six-membered chelate ring formed by Pd, N(2), C(4), C(1), 0(1) and N (1) possesses a “twist-tub” conformation. The isoxazolidine cycle has an envelope conformation with an equatorial orientation of the methyl group.

Three types of complexes, trans-[Pt(LH)2Cl2], [Pt(L)2], and [Pt(LH)2(SR)2] where LH = NH2—C(CH3)2(CH2OH) and NH2—C(CH2OH)3 and L are the deprotonated ligands, have been synthesized.The crystal structure of trans-[Pt(NH2—C(CH3)2CH2OH)2Cl2] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 6,282(3), b = 20,901(13), c = 10,769(10) Å, β = 92,64(6)°, and Z = 4. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares analysis to a conventional R factor of 0.049 and Rw = 0.042. The coordination around the platinum atom is square planar. The Pt—Cl distances are 2.306(2) and 2.309(3) Å and the Pt—N bonds are 2.060(8) and 2.071 (7) Å. The hydroxyl oxygen atoms are disordered; the disorder is different for each organic ligand. The structure is stabilized by an extensive hydrogen bonding system.

Reaction of "cyclamphosphorane" (cyclamPH) with [Pt2Cl4(PEt3)2] yields [PtCl(PEt3)(cyclamPH)]Cl. The complex crystallizes as a dichloromethane solvate in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a = 13.877(3), b = 23.231(7), c = 8.295(2)Å, β = 91.86(4)°, and an X-ray diffraction study shows square planar platinum coordination in which the labile proton of cyclamPH has transferred from phosphorus to nitrogen and the ligand is attached via simple [Formula: see text] chelation. The phosphorus is trans to chlorine in the platinum coordination plane.The corresponding product, trans-[PtCl2(PEt3)(cyclenPH2)]Cl, derived from reaction of "cyclenphosphorane" (cyclenPH) with [Pt2Cl4(PEt3)2], is shown by NMR studies to have a quite different structure in which the ligand is protonated at two nitrogen sites but not at phosphorus. The phosphorus is pentacoordinate with four attachments to nitrogen atoms and one to platinum. The two chlorine atoms are mutually trans in the platinum coordination plane. Keywords: crystal structure, cyclenphosphorane reaction, cyclamphosphorane reaction, X-ray diffraction.

The compound Lco2Br3,2H2O (where L is a binucleating ligand derived from the macrocycle LH2 formed by condensation of two molecules each of propane-1,3-diamine and 2-hydroxy-5- methylisophthalaldehyde) was found to occur in two crystalline forms. The structures of both have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, revealing that each corresponds to a different geometrical isomer of composition Lco2Br3,2H2O. Each structure was determined by the conventional Patterson-Fourier method and refined by a least-squares procedure, with only the Co, Br, N and O atoms being refined anisotropically. The first form, designated the A-isomer, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pn21a with four formula units in a cell of dimensions a 15.173(1), b 17.370(2) and c 10.493(1) Ǻ. The structure refined to a conventional R-factor of 0.074 by means of 1883 unique reflections collected by counter methods. The second form, or B-isomer, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with two formula units in a cell of dimen- sions a 10.676(1), b 15.235(2), c 9.304(1) Ǻ and β 111.83(2)°. The structure refined to a conventional R-factor of 0.101 by means of 2006 independent reflections collected by counter methods. Both isomers are composed of discrete bromide anions together with discrete binuclear cations of com- position [Lco2Br2,2H2O]+, each containing one cobalt(II) and one cobalt(III) atom with a Co...Co distance of 3.13 Ǻ. In both isomers the cobalt atoms are in octahedral environments. In the A-isomer two bromine atoms are bonded to the cobalt(III) atom in positions perpendicular to the ligand N2O2 donor plane, with the two water molecules occupying similar positions about the cobalt((II). But in the B-isomer, one water molecule and one bromine atom are bonded to each of the cobalt(III) and the cobalt((II) atoms in the comparable positions. In both structures the ionic bromide is involved in a hydrogen-bonding scheme with the coordinated water molecules.

The crystal structures of the herbicide, dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) and the zinc(II) complex of this acid, {[Zn(dicamba)2(H2O)3].2H2O}}n (1), have been determined from X-ray diffraction data and refined by least squares to final residuals of 0.034 and 0.043 respectively. Dicamba is triclinic, space group P1, Z 2 with a cell a 7.232(1), b 7.971(1), c 9.050(3) �, α 102.76(3), β 91.33(3), γ 110.38(1)�, while (1) is monoclinic, space group P21/n, Z 4 with a cell a 10.467(1), b 8.135(3), c 28.079(2) �, β 96.497(7)�. Dicamba forms hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O---O, 2.655(7) �] with the carboxyl and the methoxy groups synclinal to the benzene ring. The dicamba ligands retain their conformation in the ZnII complex and are cis-related and unidentate [Zn-0,2.083,2.095(4) �]. Three of the waters are coordinated [Zn-0, 2.036, 2.055, 2.099(4) �] with one of these also acting as a bridging ligand between the octahedral zinc centres [Zn-0, 2.326(4) �], giving a 'linear' polymer structure [Zn-0-Zn bridge angle, 133.6(3)�]. The MnII and CoII complexes of dicamba [(2) and (3)] have been confirmed as isomorphous and isostructural with the ZnII analogue.
