AbstractCarbon subsulfide C3S2 can be produced on a preparative scale by flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP). The precursor 5-(methylthio)-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione (C4H4S4) proved to be particularly suitable and yields up to 8% could be achieved on evaporation at T = 180 °C and pyrolysis of the vapour at 950 °C. The other precursors tested, C4S6 and C6S8, were far less productive. Insight into the thermal conversion of C4S6 was gained by isolation and structure determination of a new isomer of the sulur-carbon compound C8S8, which is formed on thermal treatment of C4S6 at T = 330 °C. The formation of C8S8 can be interpreted by sulfur cleavage from C4S6. Crystal growth by sublimation below 0 °C allowed for the determination of the crystal structure of C3S2. The five-atomic molecules are linear and arranged in a typical pattern analogous to the crystal structures of I2, CS2 and CSe2. The reaction of C3S2 with bromine is known to give C3Br6S2 of yet unknown structure. By sublimation of C3Br6S2 in air, 4,5-dibromo-1,2-dithiol-3-one (C3Br2OS2) was obtained, representing the product of bromine abstraction and oxidation. This substantiates the former suggestion for C3Br6S2 to have the structure of a hexabromodithiolane.

The crystal structure determination of the title compound, C13H15IO4, has allowed the relative stereochemistry between the tetrasubstituted C atoms on the tetrahydrofuran moiety to be confirmed. The title compound is a precursor of the ionophoric antibiotic Aplasmomycin. The compound is involved in both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, the latter link the molecules into chains running along thebaxis.

A new direct-space method forab initiosolution of crystal structures from powder diffraction data is presented. The approach consists of a combined global minimization ofRwpand the potential energy of the system. This method was tested on two organic compounds with known structure and also applied successfully in the structure determination of the previously unknown structure of melamine pyrophosphate.

The analysis of the crystal structure of the title compound, C23H31N2O3 +·CF3SO3 −, allowed the determination of the relative configuration at the five stereogenic centres.

The crystal structure determination of the title compound, C12H10O, has been reported previously [Gupta & Gupta (1975). Acta Cryst. B31, 7–9], with an R value of 0.078. The results reported here are in agreement with the literature data but a more precise molecular geometry is obtained (σ on C—C = 0.002 Å). Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds connect molecules into a chain running parallel to the [010] direction. This chain is reinforced by two C—H...π interactions.

Our work exploring the synthesis and optimization of increasingly hindered thiols led to the synthesis and crystal structure determination of the title compound, C5H8N2OS, a dimethly-substituted 4-thiazolidinone. The molecular packing exhibits a herringbone pattern with the zigzag running along the b-axis direction; the compound crystallizes as chains of hydrogen-bonded dimers formed by N—H...N hydrogen bonds, which build centrosymmetric R 2 2(8) ring motifs in the crystal.

The equilibria and mechanism of addition of protons to the ethylenediphosphinetetraacetate anion (L4-) were studied in solution by the UV, IR, 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopic methods. A total of six protons can be bonded to the anion. They are added stepwise, first with partial formation of zwitterions containing P-H bonds, which then dissociate with formation of the free acid, H4L, where all four protons are bonded in carboxyl groups. The formation of zwitterions is strongly dependent on the concentration. In the final stage, the acid bonds two additional protons to form the bis-phosphonium cation, H6L2+. A number of isostructural salts containing this cation, H4L.2 HX (X = Cl, Br, I), have been prepared. The X-ray crystal structure determination of the bromide confirmed the expected arrangement. The bromide crystals are monoclinic, a = 578.2, b = 1 425.0, c = 1 046.7 pm, β = 103.07° with a space group of P21/c, Z = 2. The final R factor was 0.059 based on 1 109 observed reflections. The structure consists of H6L2+ cations containing protons bonded to phosphorus atoms (P-H distance 134 pm) and of bromide anions, located in gaps which are also sufficiently large for I- anions in the isostructural iodide. The interbonding of phosphonium cations proceeds through hydrogen bonds, C-OH...O=C, in which the O...O distance is 275.3 pm.

AbstractThe new compounds LiK[C(CN)3]2 and Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined. Li[C(CN)3]·½ (H3C)2CO crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ima2 (no. 46) with the cell parameters a=794.97(14), b=1165.1(2) and c=1485.4(3) pm, while LiK[C(CN)3]2 adopts the monoclinic space group P21/c (no. 14) with the cell parameters a=1265.7(2), b=1068.0(2) and c=778.36(12) pm and the angle β=95.775(7)°. Single crystals of K[C(CN)3] were also acquired, and the crystal structure was refined more precisely than before corroborating earlier results.

The π-hydrocarbons p-terphenyl and p-quaterphenyl are reduced to their dianions in aprotic solutions of different ethers at sodium metal mirrors. Single crystal structure determinations of the solvent-separated or solvens-shared contact ion multiples, [p-terphenyl⊖⊖ Na⊕(DME)2Na⊕DME]2, p-quaterphenyl⊖⊖ ][Na⊕(DME)3]2 and [p-quaterpheny⊖⊖( Na⊕(THF)3)2], prove the essential cation solvation by the chelating dimethoxyethane (DME) versus the bulky tetrahydrofuran (THF) ligands: The solution network of equilibria between solvent separated and solvent shared ion aggregates can be considerably and transparently modified by the ether solvent selected. In addition, the structures of the monomeric sodium salts reveal partly novel details of metal cation coordination by contacts Na⊕ ··· O as well as Na⊕ ··· Cπ such as in the dimeric sodium salt of p-terphenyl dianion, [(DME)2Na⊕ (terphenyl⊖⊖)(Na⊕ DME)(terphenyl⊖⊖)Na⊕ (DME)2].
