The reaction of the carbodiphosphorane C(PPh3)2 (1) with [Co2(CO)8] results in the formation of the salt-like complex (HC{PPh3}2)[Co(CO)4] (2) in high yield if THF is used as the solvent. The proton of the cation stems from THF degradation. When the reaction is carried out in toluene, the tetranuclear cluster [Co4(CO)10(PPh3)(μ4-CCPPh3)] (3) is formed in low yield as the only complex which could be identified by X-ray analysis. The solvate 3 ·C7H8 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a = 1040.8(2), b = 1387.4(2), c = 1923.0(2) pm, α = 71.96(1)°, β = 88.69(1)°, γ = 71.46(1)°, Z = 2. The structure of the cluster with 64 CVE is that of a “spiked triangle” in which the triphenylphosphonioacetylide CCPPh3 acts as a six-electron donor and the bonding mode is that of a μ4-η2 coordination.

In a systematic search for supramolecular complexes involving all combinations of the cyclic polyethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C 5), 18-crown-6 (18C 6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB -18C6), and the geminal di- or trisulfones H2C(SO 2Me)2, H2C (SO2Et)2 and HC (SO2Me)3-n (SO2Et)n (n = 0 -3 ) , only the following four complexes could be isolated and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy: [(12C4){H2C (SO2Et)2}2] (3), [(18C6){H2C (S O2Me)2}] (4), [(DB -18C 6){H2C (SO2Et)2}] (5) and [(D B -18C 6)2{HC (SO2Me )(SO2Et)2}3] (6). The structure of 3 (triclinic, space group P1̄) consists of crystallographically centrosymmetric formula units, in which the disulfone molecules are bonded on each side of the ring by two C -H ··· O(crown) interactions originating from the central methylene group (H···O 213 pm) and from the methylene group of one EtSO2 moiety ( H ··· O 237 pm). Formula units related by translation are connected into parallel strands by a third type of reciprocal C -H ···O bond (H ···O 232 pm) between the second H atom of the central methylene group and a sulfonyl oxygen atom of the adjacent unit. The structure of 4 (monoclinic, space group C2/c) showed severe disorder of the crown ether and could not be refined satisfactorily. Compounds 5 and 6 crystallized as long and extremely thin fibres, indicative of linear-polymeric supramolecular structures; single crystals for X-ray crystallography were not available.

Two new saccharinato-silver(I) (sac) complexes, [Ag(sac)(ampy)] (1), and [Ag2(sac)2(μ-aepy)2] (2), [ampy = 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine, aepy = 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine], have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c and triclinic space group P1̄, respectively. The silver(I) ions in both complexes 1 and 2 exhibit a distorted T-shaped AgN3 coordination geometry. 1 consists of individual molecules connected into chains by N-H···O hydrogen bonds. There are two crystallographically distinct dimers in the unit cell of 2 and in each dimer, the aepy ligands act as a bridge between two silver(I) centers, resulting in short argentophilic contacts [Ag1···Ag1 = 3.0199(4) Å and Ag2···Ag2 = 2.9894(4) Å ]. Symmetry equivalent dimers of 2 are connected by N-H···O hydrogen bonds into chains, which are further linked by aromatic π(py)···π(py) stacking interactions into sheets.

The crystal structures of cis-(n-Bu4N)2[ReCl4(NCS)2] (triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 11,245( 1), b = 20.174(3), c = 21.320(8) Å, a =109.06(2), β = 96.46(2), γ = 98.22(5)°, Z = 4) and cis-(Ph4P)2[ReCl4(NCSe)2]·2CH2Cl2 (triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 10.341(2), b = 13.436(3), c = 19.616(4) Å, α = 92.70(2), β = 92.02(2), γ = 89.99( 1)°, Z= 2) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both ambidentate ligands NCS and NCSe are bonded via the N atom. Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu4N) salts have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field. The valence force constants fd(ReN) are 1,78(NCS) and 1,79(NCSe) mdyn/ Å.

Reaction of (1) in CH2Cl2 with benzimidazole yields . The salt [4]+BPh4- has been prepared in THF by metathesis of [4]+Cl- with NaBPh4. Deprotonation of the cationic ring in [4]+BPh4- was accomplished using 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.01,7]undec-7-ene and resulted in the six-membered carbacyclophosphazene (6). Treating 1 with 8 -hydroxyquinoline in CH2Cl2 yields the octahedral cis-complex = 8-oxyquinolinate group). The com pounds [4]+BPh4-, 6 and 7 are characterized by their IR, Raman, 31P{1H} NMR, 13C{1H} NMR, 1H NMR and mass spectra. Crystals suitable for X-ray structure analyses have been obtained for [4]+BPh4- and 7×0.5 CH2Cl2. The colourless plates of [4]+BPh4- crystallize in the triclinic space group P1̄, with the lattice constants a = 1172.7(3), b = 1326.2(3), c = 1806.1(6) pm; α = 100.79(2), β = 103.71(3), γ = 108.18(2)°.

The structures of Au(4-C≡CC6H4XYC6H4-4′-NO2)(PPh3) (XY = (E )-CH=CH (1), (Z)-CH=CH (2), C≡C (3), N=CH (4)) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, refining by full-matrix least-squares analysis. For (1), crystals are triclinic, space group P-1, with a8·847(1), b 17·870(4), c 19·705(3) Å, α116·25(1), β 93·33(1), γ 92·64(2)˚, Z 4, 6747 unique reflections (703 parameters), converging at R 0·025 and Rw 0·029. For (2), crystals are monoclinic, space group P 21/a, with a 10·718(6), b 19·398(5), c14·469(3) Å, β 108·96(2)˚, Z 4, 3295 unique reflections (352 parameters), converging atR 0·040 and Rw 0·034. For (3), crystals are triclinic, space group P-1, with a 10·671(4), b 17·599(7), c 18·220(8) Å, α 116·31(3), β 105·00(4), γ 95·08(4)˚, Z 4, 4828 unique reflections (703 parameters), converging at R 0·043 and Rw 0·030. For (4), crystals are triclinic, space group P-1, with a 8·8314(6), b 17·834(2), c 20·001(2) Å, α 115·249(7), β 90·930(7), γ 94·082(7)˚, Z 4, 4724 unique reflections (703 parameters), converging at R 0·035 and Rw 0·034. Despite the [ligated metal donor]-bridge-[nitro acceptor] composition of these complexes, Au–C and C≡C distances are normal and consistent with minimal allenylidene contribution to the ground-state geometry. Within the 3σ confidence limits, the structural data do not provide evidence for π*-back-bonding in these complexes

Reaction of ozone with (PPh4)2[As2Cl8] in CH2C12 at low temperatures yields a red compound, possibly an ozonide. Upon evaporation of the solvent at –78 °C the ozone is released again. At -40 °C or above a subsequent reaction yields PPh4[AsCl6], PPh4Cl · H3AsO4, and other products. The crystal structure of PPh4Cl · H3AsO3 was determined by X-ray diffraction (4253 observed reflexions, R = 0.031). It is triclinic, space group P1̅, and consists of H3AsO4 molecules joined to dimer units via H bridges and associated via O–H · · · Cl- bridges to strands. The packing of the PPh4+ ions is discussed. Products of the reaction of (PPh4)2[Sb2Cl8] with ozone in CH2C12 are PPh4[SbCl6] and (PPh4)2[SbOCl4]2 · 2 CH2Cl2.

1,13-Bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane-dimercury(I)-diperchlorate is formed by the reaction of 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane in ethanol with an aqueous solution of dimercury(I)-diperchlorate.It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P Ī with a = 1020.6(2), b = 1200.6(8), c = 1441.1(6) pm , α = 69.60(5)°, β = 83.04(13)°, y = 66.53(4)° and Z = 2. The crystal structure was determined by X -ray diffraction and refined to an R-value o f 0.079. The Hg22+ -ion is coordinated to both nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms of one molecule of the ligand. By changing four C - O torsional angles from trans to gauche, the ligand adopts a helical, chiral configuration around the Hg22+-ion. The CIO4--ions are not coordinated to the Hg22+-ion.
