Red crystals of Na4TiSe4 were obtained by reacting an intimate mixture of Na2Se, Ti and Se at 750°C. Na4TiSe4 is monoclinic, space group I2/a with a = 24.027(6), b = 7.346(4), c = 21.572(6) Å, (β = 104.52(2)°, Z = 16. Its crystal structure was determined from diffractometer data (AgK α-radiation) and refined to a conventional R of 0.036 for 2673 F0′s and 158 variables. The crystal structure is of a new type, characterized by the presence of discrete tetrahedral complex anions, [TiSe4]4- , which are arranged in slabs parallel to (100). The average Ti-Se bond length is 2.385(1) Å. The Na+ cations are in different chalcogen environments with distorted octahedral, square pyramidal or planar configurations, respectively

Transparent single crystals of Na4Ga2S5 were obtained from a melt of Na2S, Ga and S. Na4Ga2S5 is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 7.967(1), b = 6.133(2), c = 19.852(9) Å, β = 91.61(2)°, Ζ = 4. Its crystal structure was refined to a conventional R of 0.033 for 1150 observed reflections.The structure of Na4Ga2S5 is of a new type. It is characterized by infinite ribbon like thiogallate anions, -, which are built up by GaS4-tetrahedra (mean Ga-S bond length 2.28 A) sharing apices and edges. The four crystallographically independent alkali cations are coordinated to six sulphur atoms in distorted octahedral configurations.

The complexes AsPh4[Cl4V = N-Cl] and AsPh4[VOCl4] are prepared by the reaction of AsPh4Cl with Cl3VNCl and VOCl3, respectively. The IR spectra indicate C4v symmetry for the complex anions with multiple VN and VO bonds and a linear arrangement for the VNCl-group. AsPh4[VOCl4] crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/n with two formula units in the unit cell. The crystal structure was solved by X-ray diffraction methods (R = 0,062, 1096 observed, independent reflexions). The structure consists of AsPh4+ cations and [VOCl4]- anions with symmetry C4v. The extremely short VO bond length corresponds with a VO triple; its steric requirements cause the relatively large bond angle OVCl of 103.4°.

AbstractA potassium tetranitratopalladate(II) with the composition K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 was synthesized by a simple solvothermal process in a glass ampoule. The new compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the lattice parameters a = 1017.15(4), b = 892.94(3), c = 880.55(3) Å, and β = 98.13(1)° (Z = 2). The crystal structure of K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 reveals isolated complex [Pd(NO3)4]2− anions, which are surrounded by eight potassium cations and four HNO3 molecules. The complex anions and the cations are associated in layers which are separated by HNO3 molecules. K2[Pd(NO3)4] · 2HNO3 can thus be regarded as a HNO3 intercalation variant of β-K2[Pd(NO3)4]. The characterization is based on single-crystal X-ray and powder X-ray diffraction.

The crystal structure of an iron(II) complex of 2-(pyridin-2-ylamino)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)tliazoe (paptH) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. [Fe(paptH)2] [BF4]2.3H2O is monoclinic, space group P21/c, with Z = 4 in a cell of dimensions a 8.968(6), b 9.038(4), c 41.15(2)�, β 94.81(2)�. The disordered structure was refined to a residual R 0.0826 for 2549 observed reflections. The ligands and anions are orientationally disordered, and the waters of crystallization are positionally disordered. Comprehensive constrained refinement, with 220 parameters for 139 atom positions, produced reliable geometry. The complex cation has a distorted octahedral structure of meridional configuration with both paptH ligands functioning as tridentates.

The crystal structure of Te(N3)3SbF6 containing the first binary tellurium–nitrogen cation, triazidotellurium(IV) (Te(N3)3+), has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Single crystals of Te(N3)3SbF6 are monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 9.201(6), b = 8.445(4), c = 13.582(7) Å, β = 100.36(5)°, Z = 4, final R1 = 0.036 for 1286 observed reflections. The structure consists of discrete Te(N3)3+ cations and distorted octahedral SbF6− anions, with some cation–anion interactions. The average Te—Nα—Nβ—Nγ bond distances in Te(N3)3+ are Te—Nα, 1.994(7); Nα—Nβ, 1.237(11); and Nβ—Nγ, 1.116(12) Å. The average bond angles about the Te, Nα, and Nβ atoms are 94.1(3)°, 116.5(6)°, and 173.7(9)°. Structural correlations with other TeX3+ species have yielded an estimate of the electronegativity of the N3− group to be 3.1 ± 0.1. Keywords: tetratellurium (2+) cation, triazidotellurium(IV) cation, electronegativity, azide.

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.

Fibrous red crystals of the new compound K2TiS3 were obtained by reacting K2S, Ti and S at 1070 K. K2TiS3 is monoclinic, space group C 2/c with a = 11.667(6) Å, b = 8.325(4) Å, c = 6.494(4) Å, β = 9 i.81(4)°, Z = 4. The crystal structure was refined to a conventional residual of 0.070. The atomic arrangement is characterized by pseudo-one-dimensional -∞-[TiS3]2− chains formed by distorted TiS5 square pyramids sharing opposite edges of their basal planes. The structure - though closely related to that of Cs2TiS3 - is of a new type.

Abstract The crystal structure of (C6H5)3CSI is reported. It is the first structure determination of an iodine sulfane. (C6H5)3CSI crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a - 1226.4(7) pm, b = 1398.8(18) pm, c = 941.6(8) pm, β = 96.38(8)° and Z = 4. The sulfur-iodine bond length is 240.6(4) pm corresponding to the sum of the covalent radii with 237 pm. The molecules are linked via short I···S contacts of 321.0(4) pm such that a zig-zag chain is formed.

The isostructural compounds K2ZrTe3 and Rb2ZrTe3 were obtained at 1000°C by reacting K2Te and Rb2Te with stoichiometric amounts of Zr and Te. The compounds are monoclinic, mP24, space group P21/c, Z = 4 with a = 9.089(3), b = 14.148(4), c = 6.986(3) Å, β = 105.90( 1)° and a = 9.735(4), b = 14.300(7), c = 6.952(8) Å, β = 108.61(2)°, respectively. The crystal structure was determined from diffractometer data and refined to R = 0.030 for 1452 Fo's for K2ZrTe3 and R = 0.038 for 1131 Fo's for Rb2ZrTe3. The crystal structure is of a new type, characterized by infinite anionic chains, 1∞-[ZrTe3]2- built up by octahedra sharing opposite faces which run along [001]. The mean Zr-Te bond lengths are 2.921 and 2.920 Å, respectively. The alkali cations separating the chains are characterized by two different - distorted octahedral and pentagonal bipyramidal - chalcogen environments.
