The crystal structures of four alkali salts of maleic acid have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction: crystals of rubidium hydrogen maleate, RbH(C4H2O4), are very nearly centrosymmetrical, i. e., only one hydrogen atom position in the crystal structure violates the centrosymmetry. Thus, the space group is Pbc21 rather than Pbcm. The compound is isotypic with potassium hydrogen maleate, KH(C4H2O4), which has previously been described in space group Pbcm. It has been reinvestigated to prove that the correct space group is also Pbc21. The isotypic pair of rubidium hydrogen maleate maleic acid, RbH(C4H2O4) H2(C4H2O4), and caesium hydrogen maleate maleic acid, CsH(C4H2O4)H2(C4H2O4), crystallise in the triclinic space group P1̄. The geometry of the maleate units in these compounds corresponds well to data of other metal maleates. The only significant variation, concerning the intra-anionic hydrogen bond, is discussed. Furthermore, an overview of previously reported metal maleate structures is given, with special regard to the symmetry of the intramolecular hydrogen bond.

AbstractThe solid-state structures of three H-bonded enol forms of 5-substituted 9-hydroxyphenalenones were investigated to accurately determine the H atom positions of the intramolecular hydrogen bond. For this purpose, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) data were evaluated by invariom-model refinement. In addition, QM/MM computations of central molecules in their crystal environment show that results of an earlier standard independent atom model refinement, which pointed to the presence of a resonance-assisted hydrogen bond in unsubstituted 9-hydroxyphenalone, are misleading: in all our three and the earlier solid-state structures the lowest energy form is that of an asymmetric hydrogen bond (CS form). Apparent differences of results from SC-XRD and other analytical methods are explained.

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.

Complexes of Uncharged Molecules, Crystal StructureThe thermally labile ternary complexes 18C6 · 2MeOH · 2 HN(SO2Ph)2 (2a), 18C6 · 2MeOH · 2HN(SO2–C6H4-4-Cl)2 (2b) and 18C6 · 3 MeOH · HN(SO2Me)(SO2Ph) (3) were obtained by co-crystallization of 18-crown-6 (18C6) and the appropriate di(organosulfonyl)amine from methanolic solutions and characterized by low-temperature X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures of 2a (monoclinic, space group P21/n) and 2b (triclinic, space group P1̄) consist of monomeric, centrosymmetric formula units. Each di(arenesulfonyl)-amine molecule is connected to a methanol molecule by an N-Η ··· O hydrogen bond (H ··· O 203 pm in 2a, 190 pm in 2b). The methanol molecules are linked to three alternate crown oxygen atoms via one O-Η ··· O(crown) hydrogen-bond and two weaker C-Η ··· O(crown) interactions (OH ··· O 201 pm in 2a, 186 pm in 2b; CH ··· O 236 and 247 pm in 2a, 240 and 254 pm in 2b); two symmetry-related oxygen atoms of the crown are involved in O-Η ··· O and the other four in C-Η ··· O interactions. The structure of complex 3 (monoclinic, space group P21) is built of infinite chains parallel to [101]. The methyl group of the di(organosulfonyl)amine is bonded by C-Η ··· O(crown) interactions to a set of three alternate oxygen atoms of the cyclic polyether (H ··· O 228, 245 and 247 pm). Starting from the acidic NH function, a sequence of three methanol molecules catenated by hydrogen bonds curves around the bulky phenyl group and links with its terminal MeOH through one O-H ··· O(crown) and two C-Η ··· O(crown) bonds to the second set of alternate oxygen atoms in the adjacent symmetry-equivalent crown (OH ··· O 193 pm, CH ··· O 248 and 250 pm). Within the chain sequence N-H ··· O′(Me)H′ ··· O″(Me)H″ ··· O‴(Me)H, the H ··· O distances are H ··· O′ 184, H′ ··· O″ 189 and H″··· O‴ 183 pm. In the structures of 2a, 2b and 3, the crown rings adopt the frequently observed D3d pseudosymmetry.

The crystal structures of sodium ethoxide (sodium ethanolate, NaOEt), sodium n-propoxide (sodium n-propanolate, NaO n Pr), sodium n-butoxide (sodium n-butanolate, NaO n Bu) and sodium n-pentoxide (sodium n-amylate, NaO n Am) were determined from powder X-ray diffraction data. NaOEt crystallizes in space group P 421 m, with Z = 2, and the other alkoxides crystallize in P4/nmm, with Z = 2. To resolve space-group ambiguities, a Bärnighausen tree was set up, and Rietveld refinements were performed with different models. In all structures, the Na and O atoms form a quadratic net, with the alkyl groups pointing outwards on both sides (anti-PbO type). The alkyl groups are disordered. The disorder becomes even more pronounced with increasing chain length. Recrystallization from the corresponding alcohols yielded four sodium alkoxide solvates: sodium ethoxide ethanol disolvate (NaOEt·2EtOH), sodium n-propoxide n-propanol disolvate (NaO n Pr·2 n PrOH), sodium isopropoxide isopropanol pentasolvate (NaO i Pr·5 i PrOH) and sodium tert-amylate tert-amyl alcohol monosolvate (NaO t Am· t AmOH, t Am = 2-methyl-2-butyl). Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All these solvates form chain structures consisting of Na+, –O− and –OH groups, encased by alkyl groups. The hydrogen-bond networks diverge widely among the solvate structures. The hydrogen-bond topology of the i PrOH network in NaO i Pr·5 i PrOH shows branched hydrogen bonds and differs considerably from the networks in pure crystalline i PrOH.

The title compounds were obtained from NiS + PPh4Cl + HCl in dichloromethane, from NiCl2 and PPh4Cl and from NiCl2 + Na2S + 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile or CH2Cl2, respectively. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. (PPh4)2[NiCl4]: monoclinic, space group C 2/c, Z = 4, a = 1094.9(3), b = 1946.1(4), c = 2033.5(5) pm, β = 91.48(3)°; R = 0.07 for 2895 unique observed reflexions. [Na-15-crown-5]2[NiCl4]: triclinic, space group P1̄, Z = 2, a = 987.6(1), b = 998.0(1), c = 1779.9(2) pm, α = 104.17(1), β = 95.43(1), γ = 109.95(1)°; R = 0.090 for 4155 unique observed reflexions. In both cases, the [NiCl4]2- ions have distorted tetrahedral structures. With PPh4+ as the cation the distortion corresponds to a twisted tetrahedron which fulfils the point symmetry D2, the deviation from a flattened D2d-tetrahedron being small. In (PPh4)2[NiCl4] cations and anions alternate in layers parallel to (001). In [Na-15-crown-5]2[NiCl4] two of the Cl atoms of the anion are coordinated to sodium ions; one of the crown ether molecules shows positional disorder.

The present structures complement a series of comparable chelate systems. The different geometries in these chelates influence the hydrogen bond lengths (O…O) and produce distortions of the anions to different extents. These considerations, which make the tendency to form
