Pentafluorophenyl-bis(pentafluorophenylthio)sulfonium hexafluoroarsenate, [(C6F5S)2SC6F5][AsF6], was prepared by the reaction of (C6F5)2S2 and AsF5 in liquid SO2 at room temperature. The compound has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray and powder diffraction, and IR and FT-Raman spectroscopy. Crystals of [(C6F5S)2SC6F5][AsF6] are orthorhombic, space group P212121 (cell dimensions measured at room temperature in brackets): a = 13.132(3) [13.157(2)] Å, b = 21.477(4) [21.575(3)] Å, c = 8.770(2) [8.775(1)] Å, α = ß = γ = 90.00°; V = 2473.3(9) Å3, Z = 4, temperature = 181 ± 1 K. The structure consists of [AsF6]- anions and [(C6F5S)2SC6F5]+ cations that have a different structure than the related [X2MMMX]+ cations (M = S, Se; X = Cl, Br), which contain a trichalcogen chain with a pronounced chalcogen-chalcogen bond alternation. Ab initio calculations suggest the observed [(C6F5S)2SC6F5]+ geometry is due to steric and solid state effects. Comparison of the Raman spectra of [(C6F5)S2SC6F5][AsF6], [Cl2SSSCl][AsF6], and [(CH3)2ClS3]+ implies that [(CH3)2ClS3]+ has a structure with equal sulfur-sulfur distances, and therefore the structure is likely [(CH3S)2SCl]+ and probably not the previously reported [(CH3)2SSSCl]+.Key words: [R3X3]+ cations, X-ray crystal structure, FT-Raman spectroscopy, [(C6F5S)2SC6F5]+, pentafluorophenyl-bis(pentafluorophenylthio)sulfonium cation, hexafluoroarsenate.

Alternative and, in some cases, improved syntheses of the salts MX3(As/Sb)F6 (M = S, Se) and SCl3(SbCl6/AlCl4) are described. In addition, the synthesis of SeCl3SbF6 is reported. The compounds were characterized by FT–Raman spectroscopy and the X-ray crystal structures of SeCl3AsF6 (also 77Se NMR) and a new phase of SBr3SbF6 were determined. Crystals of SeCl3AsF6 and SBr3SbF6 are monoclinic, space group P21/c with [values for SBr3SbF6 in brackets] a = 7.678(1) [8.137(1)] Å, b = 9.380(3) [9.583(2)] Å, c = 11.920(3) [12.447(2)] Å, β = 98.19(2)° [97.36(1)]°, V = 849.72(3) [962.6(3)] Å3,z = 4, Dx = 2.925 [3.502] Mg m−3, R = 0.0525 [0.055], and Rw = 0.0554 [0.060] for 1151 [1472] observed reflections. Key words: MX3+ salts, FT–Raman spectroscopy, X-ray crystal structures of SeCl3AsF6, SBr3SbF6, and preparation of SeCl3SbF6.

The triply bonded octahalogenodiosmate(III) anions [Os2X8]2-, previously known with X = Cl, Br, have now been extended to include the iodide with two staggered OsI4 units. This compound was prepared by treating [Os2Cl8]2- with Nal at room temperature in acetone solution. The structure determination by X-ray diffractometry on single crystals of (PPN)2[Os2I8] · 2 CH2Cl2, reveals crystallization in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with Z = 4. The Os-Os triple bond is with 2.212(1) Å the longest within the three octahalogenodiosmates(III). The Raman spectra show ν(OsOs) at 285, [Os2Cl8]2-; at 287, [Os2Br8]2- and for the iodo compound at 270.1 cm-1 with up to three overtones. The spectroscopic constants are calculated to be ω1 = 270.9 cm-1; X11 = -0.50 cm-1. The 10 Κ UV-VIS spectra of solid [(n-C4H9)4N]2[Os2X8] exhibit δ-π* transitions with maxima at 723, 690 and 643 nm, superimposed by vibrational fine structures with long progressions of 195, 211 and 183 cm-1 for X = Cl, Br, I, respectively. Oxidation of [Os2X8]2-, X = Cl, Br with the corresponding halogen leads to the cleavage of the Os-Os bond, and the dekahalogenodiosmates(IV), [Os2X10]2-, are formed

Abstract Single crystals of rubidium hexathiodiphosphate(V), Rb2P2S6, have been obtained and investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and IR/FIR and Raman spectroscopy. The title compound crystallizes isotypically to the potassium, caesium and thallium analogues in the orthorhombic space group Immm (no. 71) with a = 8.485(3), b= 6.953(3), c =9.259(3 Å , and Z = 2, final R1= 0.0579 and wR2 = 0.0987. The crystal structure is characterized by discrete [P2S6]2− anions (edge-sharing double-tetrahedra) with D2h symmetry. Rubidium is coordinated by ten sulfur atoms forming a slightly distorted two-capped tetragonal prism with a coordination number CNRb 10. The FT-Raman and FT-IR/FIR spectra have been recorded and a factor group analysis was carried out.

The structure of the anticancer drug carmustine (1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, C5H9Cl2N3O2) was successfully determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data recorded at 278 K and at 153 K. Carmustine crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with Z = 4. The lattice parameters are a = 19.6935(2) Å, b = 9.8338(14) Å, c = 4.63542(6) Å, V = 897.71(2) ų at 153 K, and a = 19.8522(2) Å, b = 9.8843(15) Å, c = 4.69793(6) Å, V = 921.85(2) ų at 278 K. The Rietveld fits are very good, with low R-values and smooth difference curves of calculated and experimental powder data. The molecules form a one-dimensional hydrogen bond pattern. At room temperature, the investigated commercial sample of carmustine was amorphous.

The room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound (tpyH2)2[Tb(OH2)8]Cl7.~2⅓H2O is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 17.063(5), b 16.243(3), c 7.878(3) Ǻ, α 84.78(2), β 84.39(3), γ 87.81(2)°, Z = 2 formula units; 3167 'observed' diffractometer reflections were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a residual of 0.057. Notable features of interest of the compound are the 'chelation' of chloride ions by the terpyridinium cations , and the existence of a free [Tb(OH2)8]2+ cation in the presence of an abundance of chloride ions.

AbstractMagnesium acesulfamate, Mg(C4H4NO4S)2·6H2O, was prepared by the reaction of acesulfamic acid and magnesium carbonate in aqueous solution, and characterized by elemental analysis. Its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The substance crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ with one molecule per unit cell. The FTIR spectrum of the compound was also recorded and is briefly discussed. Some comparisons with other simple acesulfamate and saccharinate salts are also made.

Abstract Purpose The aim of the study was to present the spectroscopic characteristics and crystal structure of the etazene—a benzimidazole opioid, which appeared on the illegal drug market in Poland in the last weeks. Methods The title compound was analyzed by X-ray crystallography as well as gas and liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. Spectroscopic techniques have also been used, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopies. Results We presented the identification and the broad chemical characterization of etazene, a synthetic opioid that has recently been introduced on the illegal drug market. Conclusions In this paper, we described single-crystal X-ray, chromatographic and spectroscopic characterization of a synthetic opioid that emerged on the new psychoactive substance (NPS) market in Poland. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first full characterization of etazene. Analytical data presented in the work can be helpful in identification and detection of the NPS in forensic and clinical laboratories.
