AbstractNTO is an explosive of current interest. It has been evaluated as an insensitive component to replace RDX in the bomb fill, and as a major ingredient for the auto air bag system. The crystal structure of the β from of NTO has been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. The unit cell is monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 9.326, b = 5.515, c = 9.107 Å, β = 100.77°. There are four molecules in the cell, density 1.878 g/cm3. Infinite extension of H-bonding in two-dimensional sheets occurs in the monoclinic form. Bond lengths and angles all have normal values.Efforts have been made to determine the crystal structure of α-NTO. However, a structure refined only to R = 17% was obtained, probably due to some kind of twinning about the crystal needle axis. The unit cell is triclinic, space group P1, with a = 5.12, b = 10.30, c = 17.9 Å, α = 106.7°, β= 97.7°, γ = 90.2°. There are eight molecules in the cell, density 1.92 g/cm3. Ribbons of NTO molecules formed by a relatively strong network of hydrogen bonds are observed. It was found that α-NTO is the stable, dominating form. A variety of techniques have been chosen to identify the two polymorphs.

Abstract The synthesis of salts of the type RnSH3-n+MF6- (R = C2H5, i-C3H7; n = 1, 2; M = As, Sb) by protonation of the corresponding thiols and sulfides in the superacid systems HF/MF5 is reported. The salts have been characterized by vibrational and NMR spectroscopic methods. Isopropylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate is the first known example of a sulfonium salt, for which a SH bond distance has been determined by a crystal structure analysis, i-C3H7SH2+SbF6- crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/m with a = 568.0(4), b = 801.1(6), c = 1019.7(8) pm, β = 82.63(6) °, with two formula units per unit cell.

Abstract Single crystals of KSc2F7 have been prepared from a mixture of KF and ScF3 . The samples were investigated by X-ray methods. KSc2F7 crystallizes orthorhombically with a = 10.643(2), b = 6.540(1), c = 4.030(1) Å. These data indicate a close crystallographic connection to the monoclinic unit cell of KIn2F7 [1], But in contrast to KIn2F7 , KSc2 F7 crystallizes in space group No. 65. Cmmm - D192h. The R-value for 341 observed independent reflections is 0.060.

The syntheses and IR spectra of the complexes [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4X2]2⊖ with X = N3, CI, Br and the counter ion PPh4⊕ are reported. The azido and the bromo complexes are obtained from a solution of [Mo2(O2CPh)4] with PPh4N3 in pyridine or by reaction with PPh4Br in CH2Br2, respectively. When (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4(N3)2] is dissolved in CH2Cl2, nitrogen is evolved and the complex with X = CI is obtained. The crystal structure of (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2] · 2CH2Cl2 was determined from X-ray diffraction data (5676 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.042). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with four formula units per unit cell; the lattice constants are a = 1549, b = 1400, c = 1648 pm, β = 94.6°. The centrosymmetric [Mo2(O2CPh)4Cl2]2⊖ ion has a rather short Mo-Mo bond of 213 pm, whereas the MoCl bonds are very long (288 pm)

Abstract The new compound [(Crypt-2.2.2)H2]I8 has been prepared by the reaction of [(Crypt-2.2.2)H2](I3)2 with iodine in methanol. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with a = 11.476 (2), b = 13.589 (2), c = 22.888 (2) Å and Z = 4. The crystal structure has been refined to RF = 0.031 for 1618 reflections. It may be described as a layerlike packing of octaiodide anions I82-and diprotonated 2.2.2-Crypt as cations. The non planar octaiodide anion is built up from two triiodide groups and a bridging iodine molecule.Tris(1, 10-phenanthroline)nickel(II) octaiodide bis(chloroform) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 11.683 (8), b = 21.717 (8), c = 20.752 (5) Å, β = 95.03 (5)° and Z = 4 formula units. The crystal structure has been refined to RF = 0.058 for 3894 reflections. The structure consists of two chloroform molecules, octahedrally coordinated complex cations [Ni(phen)3]2+ and nonplanar octaiodide anions I82- each composed of two asymmetric triiodide units I3- weakly associated with an elongated bridging iodine molecule I2.The already known structure of bis(N-methylurotropinium) octaiodide, (UrMe)2I8, has been verified and more accurate crystal data have been collected. The crystal structure has been refined to RF = 0.045 for 1908 reflections. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 11.302 (2), b = 9.850 (2), c = 14.188 (2) Å , β = 92.59 (1)° and Z = 2. The anion has the shape of a stretched Z.The structure of bis(N-ethylurotropinium) octaiodide (UrEt)2I8 has been determined and a new configuration (I3-, I5-) for octaiodide ions between Z (I3- · I2 ·I3-) and a “broken” configuration (I3-, I5-) has been observed. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a = 9.741 (3), b = 11.815 (3), c = 15.426 (3) Å, α = 91.80 (2), β = 107.14 (2), γ = 90.04 (2)° and Z = 2. The crystal structure has been refined to RF = 0.037 for 3657 reflections.

[Ag(MeOC6H4N3C6H4OMe)]2 (1) is formed in THF from AgNO3 , and the triazenide anion, as obtained from the corresponding triazene and Na. 1 crystallizes from pyridine in the form of orange-yellow , air stable crystals with the com position 1·2/3 C5H5N: space group P 1̅ with a = 1468.0(5), b = 1514.1(6), c - 1316.1(3) pm, a = 113.45(3)°, β = 1 1 4 .8 1 (2 )°, γ = 66.78(3)°, Z - 3. The triazenide ion functions as a bridging ligand forming planar (AgN3)2 heterocycles. The unit cell contains two symmetry-independent dinuclear complexes, one of which is centrosymmetrical. The short Ag -Ag distances of 268.0 and 269.8 pm suggest Ag -Ag bonding. The pentaazadienido complexes Ag(RN5R) with R = p -MeO - C6H4 (2), p -EtO - C6H4 (3), p-Cl -C6H4 (4), p -F -C6H4 (5), are obtained from saturated solutions of the pentaazadiene in conc. NH3 and AgNO3 , as explosive, red precipitates which are stable in air. Crystals of 2 and 3 · C5H5N are obtained from pyridine. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c: a - 583.7(6), b = 1705.1(9), c = 1489.6(9) pm. β = 96.2(1)°, Z = 2; 3 · C5H5N is triclinic (space group P 1̅) with a = 1160.4(4). b = 1671.0(6), c = 509.0(1) pm. a = 97.51(2)°, β = 97.36(2)°, γ = 81.51(3)°, Z = 1. The complexes 2 and 3 are dinuclear with the pentaazadienide ion as a (N1)-η1,(N5)-η1 bridging ligand in 2 and a (N1)-η1, (N3)-η1 bridging ligand in 3. The bridging mode in 3 results in a short Ag -Ag contact of 283.44 pm. The Ag -N distances range from 210.8 to 215.7 pm in 1 and from 215.0 to 220 pm in (2) and (3).

The structures of the title compounds have been determined by three dimensional X-ray crystal structure analysis.Crystals of anhydrous phenacylkojate are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 9.087(4), b = 11.764(3), c = 12.714(4) Å, β = 116.57(2)°, Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R = 0.044 for 1225 independent diffractometer observations. The crystal structure is held together by hydrogen bonding between carbonyl and hydroxyl groups and [Formula: see text] interactions.Crystals of the sodium chloride complex are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 11.3714(6), b = 15.796(1), c = 14.487(1) Å, β = 97.241(5)°, Z = 4. The structure was solved by heavy atom and Fourier methods and comparison with the previously determined structure of the potassium iodide complex. It was refined to R = 0.040 for 1670 independent diffractometer observations. The structure closely resembles that of the potassium iodide complex (P21/n), but in C2/c, the alkali metal ion being eight co-ordinate in each. Na+—O distances are in the range 2.558–2.674 Å and the [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonded distance is 3.266 Å.

Condensation of 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carbaldehyde with 2-aminophenol gave the (E)-2-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]quinolin-8-ol derivative that reacted with di-n-butyltin oxide with release of H2O to yield the chelate title complex, [Sn2(C4H9)4(C16H10N2O2)2]. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space groupP-1, with two independent centrosymmetric dimers in the unit cell. Each features a typical pincer-type structure where the dianionic ligand is tetradentate, coordinating to the central tin atom through both phenolate oxygen atoms, as well as through the quinoline and imine N atoms. Each metal atom adopts a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal SnC2N2O3coordination arising from theN,N′,O,O′-tetradentate deprotonated Schiff base, one bridging phenolate O atom of the neighbouring ligand and two butyl groups in the axial sites.
