AbstractThe crystal structure of chenevixite, Cu2M2(AsO4)2(OH)4 (where M = Fe3+ or Al), pseudo-orthorhombic, monoclinic, a = 5.7012(8), b = 5.1801(7), c = 29.265(2) Å, β = 89.99(1)°, V = 864.3(4) Å3, space group B1211, Z = 4, was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares techniques to R = 8.4% and a goodness-of-fit (S) of 1.37 for 1176 unique observed (F≥4σF) reflections collected for a twinned microcrystal using graphite-monochromated Mo-Kα X-rays and a CCD area detector. Vertex- and edge-sharing arsenate tetrahedra, Alϕ6 octahedra, and Jahn-Teller-distorted Cu2+ϕ6 octahedra [ϕ: O2−;, (OH)−;] form a framework unique from those in Cu2+ oxysalt minerals. Chains of edge-sharing Cu2+ϕ6 octahedra, with Alϕ6 octahedra attached on opposing sides by the sharing of edges, are linked into layers parallel to (001) by sharing vertices with AsO4 tetrahedra, and the layers are linked to form a frameworkby the sharing of polyhedral elements between adjacent Alϕ6 octahedra, as well as between AsO4 tetrahedra and Alϕ6 octahedra.

Abstract The crystal structure of szenicsite, Cu3MoO4(OH)4, orthorhombic, a = 8.5201(8), b = 12.545(1), c = 6.0794(6) Å, V = 649.8(2) Å3, space group Pnnm, Z = 4, has been solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares techniques to an agreement index (R) of 3.34% and a goodness-of-fit (S) of 1.11 for 686 unique observed [|F| ⩾ 4σF] reflections collected using graphite-monochromated Mo-Kα X-radiation and a CCD area detector. The structure contains three unique Cu2+ positions that are each coordinated by six anions in distorted octahedral arrangements; the distortions of the octahedra are due to the Jahn-Teller effect associated with a d 9 metal in an octahedral ligand-field. The single unique Mo6+ position is tetrahedrally coordinated by four O2− anions. The Cu2+ϕ6 (ϕ: unspecified ligand) octahedra share trans edges to form rutile-like chains, three of which join by the sharing of octahedral edges to form triple chains that are parallel to [001]. The MoO4 tetrahedra are linked to either side of the triple chain of Cu2+ϕ6 octahedra by the sharing of two vertices per tetrahedron, and the resulting chains are cross-linked through tetrahedral-octahedral vertex sharing to form a framework structure. The structure of szenicsite is closely related to that of antlerite, Cu3SO4(OH)4, which contains similar triple chains of edge-sharing Cu2+ϕ6 octahedra.

Dimedone, C8H12O2, crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry, a = 10.079(7), b = 6.835(3), c = 12.438(4) Å, β = 110.24(5)°, space group P21/n and Z = 4. The structure of this compound was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques using 1205 unique reflections to a final R of 0.047. In the solid state it exists in the enolic form and these molecules pack in the crystal in systems of infinite chains linked together by hydrogen bonds in the y direction. These results are virtually the same as recently reported by Semmingsen.

p-Diethylaminobenzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate, C10H14N3+•PF6−, crystallized in space group [Formula: see text] with a = 12.105(4), b = 12.340(5), c = 10.439(4) Å, α = 96.53(3), β = 104.11(3), γ = 64.44(3)°, and Z = 4. The structure was solved using direct methods and refined with full-matrix least-squares techniques on F, to a final R of 0.054 for 1917 reflections with F2 > 3σ(F2). The mean bond lengths for the diazo group are: N—N 1.096(6); C—N 1.357(7) Å. The geometry of the molecule is discussed in terms of the possible resonance forms and it is shown to be consistent with a form in which the N—N triple bond is essentially intact and the aminobenzene moiety has "quinoidal" character.

The crystal structure of hexagonal β-endosulfan (β1) was determined by direct methods. On a four-circle diffractometer, 2350 reflections were collected. The crystals were hexagonal, (P63/m), with Z = 6, in a cell of dimensions a = 1492.0(2), c = 1150.6(2) pm. The structure was refined by least squares to R 0.068 from 573 unique reflections having F > 2.5σ(F). The methylene sulphite ring showed an ?endo-endo-endo? configuration with respect to its attachment to the methano- bridged hexachlorocyclohexane and exo to the oxide portion of the sulphite group. Space group requirements for P63/m resulted in the molecules lying along the mirror planes at Z = 1/4 and 3/4.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

The reaction of N,N-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)naphthylamine C10H7-1-N(PPh2)2 with (C5H10NH)2Cr(CO)4 (1 : 1 molar ratio) in dichloromethane afforded cis-[Cr(CO)4{C10H7-1-N(PPh2)2}] (1). This complex was crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares techniques to an R factor of 0.0313 for 6488 observed reflections. The Cr-metal is coordinated by four terminal CO molecules and a P,P′-bidentate N,N-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)naphthylamine ligand in a distorted octahedral array. The N-atom adopts a planar geometry with the two P-atoms and C-atom attached to it. The four-membered metallacycle ring P2CrN is nearly planar.

Crystals of L-prolinatodiphenylboron are monoclinic, a = 5.9427(5), b = 14.4633(7), c = 8.9654(4) Å, β = 98.423(8)°, Z = 2, space group P21. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.037 and Rw of 0.053 for 1477 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The proline ring exhibits conformational disorder. The crystal structure consists of discrete molecules linked by N—H … O hydrogen bonds (N … O = 2.893(3) Å) along the short a axis. Intramolecular N—B coordination occurs to form a system of two fused five-membered rings. Bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: N—B, 1.630(3), O—B, 1.529(3), O—C, 1.219(3) and 1.300(3), N—C, 1.506(3) and 1.507(3), C(sp3)–C(sp3), 1.525(4), C(sp2)—C(sp3), 1.517(3), and mean C—C(phenyl), 1.394 Å.

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 spectroscopic properties of thiobinupharidine and its isomer, neothiobinupharidine, of established structure, have been examined and compared. From this study it was possible to deduce the structure and relative configuration of the alkaloid. The structure has been firmly established and the absolute configuration determined by the study of the crystal structure of thiobinupharidine dihydrobromide dihydrate, C30H42O2N2S•2HBr•2H2O. The crystals are orthorhombic with space group C2221, a = 25.128(6), b = 9.869(2), c = 26.380(6) Å, and Z = 8. The structure was refined, using full-matrix least-squares techniques with 1934 reflections, to a final R value of 0.097. The thiobinupharidine moiety hydrogen bonds to one of two types of H2O–Br–H2O spiral chains in the structure. The tetrahydrothiophene ring is distorted from planarity, and this together with the nonequivalence of the S and C atoms in the ring causes the molecule to deviate from C2 symmetry
