In the last 10 years or so much work has been done to determine the crystal structures of layer silicates more precisely than previously and, as a result, ideas about these structures have had to be revised.Around 1930 the classical studies of Bragg and his collaborators, and of Pauling, established the general geometrical features of layer silicate structures. The basic building units were found to be layers of linked tetrahedra articulated, by sharing oxygens, with layers of octahedra. In the 1 : 1, kaolinite type materials, with layer thicknesses about 7 Å, the composite layer unit was made up of one tetrahedral layer and one octahedral layer; in the mica and chlorite minerals the silicate layer was formed by joining two tetrahedral layers, one on either side, to an octahedral layer.

The Subject

The 1 : 1 complexes of the substituted triphenylphosphine ligands mesityldiphenylphosphine and dimesitylphenylphosphine with copper(1) chloride, bromide and iodide have been the subject of single-crystal X-ray structure determinations at 295 K. All six complexes crystallize as air-stable dimeric molecules, [(PPh2Mes)CuX]2 and [ (PPhMes2)CUX]2 with each copper atom in a distorted trigonal PCuX2. coordination environment. Crystals of [(PPh2Mes)CuCl]2 (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 9.961(3), b 18.687(6), c 11.009(7) Ǻ, β 114.63(4)°; R was 0.049 for 2450 'observed' reflections. [(PPh2Mes)CuBrI2 (2) is monoclinic, P21/n, a 9.939(2), b 18.832(6), c 11.238(6) Ǻ, β 115.36(3)°; R was 0.046 for 1803 'observed' reflections. [(PPh2Mes)CuI]2.4/3 C6H6 (3) is rhornbohedral, R3, a 36.877(8), c 9.047(5) A; R was 0.039 for 2537 'observed' reflections.

[(PPhMes2)CuBr]2.3C6H6 (5) is monoclinic, C2/c, a 9.694(6), b 30.15(2), c 20.66(2) Ǻ, β 98.00(7)°; R was 0.047 for 2117 'observed' reflections. [(PPhMes2)CuI]2.2MeCN (6) is orthorhombic, PP1nb, a 11.694(8), b 14.77(1), c 29.76(3) Ǻ; R was 0.049 for 3447 'observed' reflections. Cu-P bond lengths are: 2.196(2) A (1); 2.198(3) Ǻ (2); 2.222(5) and 2.226(5) Ǻ (3); 2.202(1) Ǻ (4); 2.197(3) A (5); 2.201(4) and 2.264(5) Ǻ (6).

N,N′-Dibutyl-terephthaldiamide (1), N,N′-dihexyl-terephthaldiamide (2), N,N′-di(tert-butyl)- terephthaldiamide (3), N,N,N′,N′-tetrabutyl-terephthaldiamide (4), 1,1′-terephthaloylbis- pyrrolidine (5), 1,1′-terephthaloyl-bis-piperidine (6), and 4,4′-terephthaloyl-bis-morpholine (7) have been synthesised and physicochemically characterised. The X-ray structure determinations reveal imposed inversion symmetry for compounds 1-6; compound 3 has two independent molecules with inversion symmetry in the asymmetric unit. Compounds 1-3 form classical hydrogen bonds of the type N-H···O=C, leading to a ribbon-like arrangement of molecules (1 and 2) or a layer structure (3). Compound 3 also displays a very short C-H···O interaction, a type of hydrogen bond that is also observed in compounds 4-7, which lack classical donors; thereby compounds 4-6 form layer structures and 7 a complex threedimensional network.

The reaction of organoindium halides RInCl2 with tBu2PSiMe3 leads to compounds of the type [{RIn(μ-tBu2P)Cl}2] (R = iPr: 1, Me3SiCH2: 2). According to the crystal structure determinations 1 and 2 contain planar In2P2 rings. The In atoms are coordinated to two bridging tBu2P groups, a terminal alkyl group and a terminal Cl atom

Following the suggestion made earlier, on the basis of solution spectroscopy, that a number of eriostyl/nitrobenzoate compounds form charge-transfer self-complexes, a number of these have been investigated structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods in order to ascertain the presence or otherwise of such interactions in the solid state. The substances thus studied were eriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (1), eriostyl p-nitrobenzoate (2), tetrahydroeriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (3), and eriostemyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (4);* structure determinations in all cases, although displaying the presence of strong charge-transfer interactions from the two moieties of each molecule, show that the interactions in the solid state are intermolecular in nature.

The title compounds are 3-aza[6](1,7)-naphthalenophanes with 3-Me and 3-CO2Me substituents, C18H23NO2 and C19H23NO4; in the former the chemical shift of the naphthalene hydrogen enclosed by the medium nitrogen-containing ring is the highest yet observed in a derivative of this type ( σ 9.33). In order to examine the environment of this hydrogen atom and the expected associated naphthalene ring distortions in both compounds, single-crystal X-ray structure determinations have been carried out at 295 K showing the transannular H…N distance in the methyl derivative to be remarkably short at 2.08(2) � . Crystals are triclinic, P1, a 11.683(3), b 10.846(3), c 6.729(2) �, α 90.08(2), β 93.33(2), γ 112.88 Z 2; R was 0.041 for 1378 'observed' reflections.

Solving pharmaceutical crystal structures from powder diffraction data is discussed in terms of the methodologies that have been applied and the complexity of the structures that have been solved. The principles underlying these methodologies are summarized and representative examples of polymorph, solvate, salt and cocrystal structure solutions are provided, together with examples of some particularly challenging structure determinations.

Structure Determinations

The crystal structures of [Cu(Pme3)4]X (X = Cl , Br, I) and of [M(PPh3)4] [PF6] (M = Cu, Ag) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K. The former compounds contain nearly tetrahedral [Cu(PMe3)4]+ ions on sites of m symmetry with mean Cu-P bond lengths of 2.270, 2.271 and 2.278 Ǻ for X = Cl , Br and I respectively. The latter compounds contain [M(PPh3)4]+ ions on sites of 3 symmetry. In the M =Ag complex the coordination environment is close to tetrahedral, but in the M =Cu complex the length of the axial Cu-P bond [2.465(2)Ǻ] is significantly shorter than that of the off-axis bonds [2.566(2)Ǻ]. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

Abstract X-ray structure determinations have been performed on single crystals of trans-(Ph4P)2-[B6H4I2] (1) (triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 9.9680(12), b = 10.9690(11), c = 11.0470(14) Å,α = 88.167(9), β = 80.466(12), γ = 68.839(11)°, Z = 1), mer-(Ph4P)2[B6H3I3] · 2 CH2Cl2 (2)(triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 11.8694(11), b = 15.1699(13), c = 17.051(2) Å, α = 75.118(9), β = 71.953(10), γ = 69.331(8)°, Z = 2), trans-(Ph4P )2[B6H2I4] · 2 CH3CN (3) (monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 14.9665(10), b = 7.6783(10), c = 23.385(3) Å, β = 95.78(9)°, Z = 2), and (CH2Py2)[B6HI5] (4) (orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 13.660(2), b = 11.8711(13), c = 13.839(2) Å, Z = 4).
