Tetrachloroaluminate salts of the benzothiazarsolium and toluodithiarsolium heteronaphthalenic cations have been prepared from the corresponding chloroarsoles by a routine halide ion abstraction procedure. Characterization data are presented, including the X-ray crystal structure of the thiaza derivative. (Crystal data for C6H5AlAsCl4NS: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 6.4259(5) Å, b = 23.654(3) Å, c = 8.5859(7) Å, β = 98.203(6)°, V = 1291.7(2) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.054.) A planar bicyclic cationic unit is observed, typical of other heteronaphthalenic systems. The crystal structure of 2-chlorobenzo-1,3,2-thiazarsole has been obtained for direct comparison, and also has a close to planar heterobicyclic moiety. (Crystal data for C6H5AsClNS: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 8.370(3) Å, b = 10.829(3) Å, c = 8.756(2) Å, β = 95.99(2)°, V = 789.2(3) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.025.) The planarity and short heterocyclic bond lengths observed in the two compounds imply a significant degree of pπ bonding, which is unique between sulfur and arsenic. In addition, the cation is a rare example of a structurally characterized cationic dicoordinate arsenic, or arsenium, system. Keywords: arsenic, arsolium, arsenium, pπ-bonding, sulfur, heteronaphthalenic.

Abstract The molecular structure of the bridged [1]-titanocenophane 1,1'-dimethylsilylene titanocene dichloride, (CH3)2Si(C5H4)2TiCl2, has been investigated by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1332.9(3), 6 = 988.7(3), c = 1068.9(3) pm, β = 113.43(2)°. The results are compared with the structural dimensions of similar compounds: 1,1'-methylene titanocene dichloride, CH2(C5H4)TiCl2, with the unbridged titanocene dichloride, (C5H5)2TiCl2 and the ethylene-bridged compound (CH2)2(C5H4)2TiCl2

Single crystals of Cu(pz)Br2 and Cu(pz)Cl2 were grown by using gel methods with tetramethoxysilane as the gel-forming reagent. Thermal decomposition is interpreted. Crystal data for the bromo complex: monoclinic, space group C2/m with a = 1239.2(3) pm, b = 685.9(2) pm, c = 390.7(3) pm, β = 96,23(5)°. Crystal data for the chloro-complex: monoclinic, space group C2/m with a = 1197.1(3) pm, b = 684.9(3) pm, c = 370.1(3) pm, β = 95.96(5)°. Crystal structure analyses reveal that CuHal2 molecules are bonded by pyrazine to form linear chains. These chains are cross-linked by bridging halogen atoms.

AbstractThe thionitrosyl-halothionitrene com pounds (PPh4)2[ReX4(NS)(NSX)]·2 CH2X2, X = Cl or Br, are obtained by nucleophilic ring cleavage of the Re(N2S2) rings of complexes [ReX4(N2S2)]⊖ with PPh4X in CH2X2. (AsPh4)2[ReCl4(NS)(NSCl)] · CH2Cl2 can also be obtained by the reaction of [ReCl4(NSCl)(POCl3)] with S(NSiMe3)2 and subsequent addition of AsPh4Cl. The pyridine complex [ReBr2(NS)(NSBr)(NC5H5)2] · CH2Br2 forms by bromination of the corresponding chloro compound with Me3SiBr. The IR spectra are reported. The crystal structure of (PPh4)2[ReBr4(NS)(NSBr)] · CH2Br2 was determ ined by X-ray diffraction (4158 independent observed reflexions, R = 0.059). Crystal data: a = 1039.7, b - 1232.5, c - 2158.4 pm, α = 81.59, β = 87.05, γ = 77.06°, Z = 2, space group P1̄. The compound consists of PPh4⊕ ions, CH2Br2 molecules, and anions [ReBr4(NS)(NSBr)]2⊖ in which the rhenium atoms are coordinated by four bromine atoms, one thionitrosyl and one brom othionitrene group. The latter have cis arrangement and ReN bond lengths of 186 pm. W hereas the thionitrosyl group is nearly linear, the R = N = SBr group has an ReNS angle of 165°.

[WCl4(NCl)]2 reacts in acetonitrile with the trimethylsilyl compounds Me3SiSR (R = Me, Ph), and Me3SiESiMe3 (E = S, Se), with substitution of the chlorine atom of the N-chloronitreno group W=N–Cl and formation of CH3CN–WCl4(NSR) and CH3CN–WCl4(NEN)WCl4–NCCH3, respectively. Excess Me3SiBr reacts with CH3CN–WCl4(NSMe) to afford CH3CN–WBr4(NSMe). [CH3CN–WNCl3]4 was obtained from CH3CN–WCl4(NCl) and N(SiMe3)3. The products were characterized by their IR spectra. Two X-ray crystal structure determinations were also carried out. CH3CN—WCl4(NSMe) forms twinned crystals, and only non-overlapping reflexions of one of the twin individuals were used for the structure determination (846 unique values, R = 0.055). Crystal data: a = 592.4(2), b = 758.8(2), c = 1203.7(8) pm, β = 95.06(4)°, monoclinic, space group P21/m, Z = 2. The compound is a monomer in which the acetonitrile ligand is situated in the trans position to the W≡N–S̱̅–Me group. The bond lengths (W≡N 174(2), N–S 161(2) pm) and bond angles (WNS 176(1), NSC 102.1(9)°) are in agreement with the proposed formula. Crystal data for [CH3CN–WNCl3]4: a = 1009.5(2), b = 1274.5(2), c = 1287.9(2) pm, β = 108.17(1)°, monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 2 (2113 unique reflexions, R = 0.057). The compound forms tetrameric units, in which the W atoms form a square and are linked with one another via N atoms at alternating distances (W=N 171(2), W–N 207(2), W–NCMe 238(2) pm).

The crystal structure of [ Ru ( terpy )( bpy )( pz )] (PF6)2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to a residual of 0.046 for 1855 independent observed reflections. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P 21/a, a 16.836(7), b 10.778(5), c l9.342(5) Ǻ, β 115.11(3)°. The coordination geometry around the ruthenium(II) ion is distorted octahedral, with the various Ru -N bond lengths indicative of considerable interligand steric strain. The Ru -N pyrazine bond is the longest within the structure, consistent with other evidence that n back-bonding to pyrazine is weak in the complex.

Each atom of a central Hg2 unit (Hg -Hg distance 251.5 pm) is asymmetrically complexed by hexamethylbenzene, the Hg - Carene distances being in the range from 241 to 340 pm. Two distorted AlCl4 tetrahedra complete a “molecular” [arene2Hg2][AlCl4]2 unit. The shortest Hg-Cl distances are 310 and 312 pm, respectively.

Reaction of Et3As with AsCl3 in n-pentane yields dimeric [Et3AsxAsCl3]2 in quantitative yield; sublimation in vacuo affords white crystals.X-Ray diffraction data were collected at 133 K (3149 independent observed reflections; R = 0.029. Rw = 0.026). Crystal data: monoclinic space group P21/c, a = 761.9(8). b = 1118.8(4). c = 1406.0(14) pm; β = 100.90(4)°. Ζ = 2 dimers.The dimer contains a planar As2Cl6-unit with terminal and bridging As-Cl bonds; each arsenic atom is bonded to a Et3As molecule via an arsenic-arsenic bond. The dimer thus has pseudo four- and six-coordinate arsenic atoms.

Adamantyl-1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-one has been prepared for the first time and from it 1-adamantyl nitrile sulphide has been generated. Characterisation data are presented, including the X-Ray crystal structure of the oxathiazolone. (Crystal data for C12H15NO2S: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 11.334(2) Å,b = 7.344(1) Å, c = 14.373(2) Å,β = 107.74(1)°, V = 1139.5(3) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.042). The planar heterocyclic ring is similar to structures observed in the gas phase for other oxathiazolone derivatives. The nitrile sulphide was reacted with dimethyl-acetylene dicarboxylate in situ to give an isothiazole derivative. The X-Ray crystal structure of 3-adamantyl-4,5-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-isothiazole has been obtained. (Crystal data for C17H21NO4S: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 7.305(4) Å, b = 7.339(4) Å, c = 31.552(4) Å, β = 92.75(3)°, V = 1690(1) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.079). A general cycloaddition reaction was discovered between the nitrile sulphides and thiazyl chloride to give 1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolium chlorides. The structure of the new 4-adamantyl-1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolium chloride was confirmed by reduction to the 4-adamantyl-1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl for which the X-Ray crystal structure has been determined. (Crystal data for C11H15N2S2: monoclinic, space group C2, a = 10.284(4) Å, b = 8.651(2) Å, c = 13.669(2) Å, β = 112.83(1)°, V = 1120.9(4) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.042). The radical adopts a twisted dimer structure in the solid state which is similar to the structures observed for other alkyl derivatives.
