<p>A series of thirteen isomeric 1,5-diphenylformazans have been structurally characterised both in the solid state and in solution by the combined techniques of x-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance, Raman, mass and absorption spectroscopies. 1,5-Diphenylformazan is known to exist in the anti, s-trans configuration in the solid state and this is shown to be the solution dominant species. In aprotic solvents an equilibrium involving the anti, s-trans and syn, s-cis configurations is evidenced. 3-Methyl-1,5-diphenylformazan has been characterised by an x-ray crystal analysis. C14H14N4 belongs to the monoclinic space group P2/c, a = 8.133(1), b = 19.085(4), c = 9.364(2) A, beta = 105.93 degrees,U = 1397.6(5) A3, Z = 4. The anti, s-trans configuration of the solid state is also preferred in solution where it is in equilibrium with the syn, s-cis configuration. 3-Ethyl-1,5-diphenylformazan exists in two isomers in the solid state, both of which have been characterised by an x-ray crystal analysis. The red isomer of 3-ethyl-1,5-diphenylformazan belongs to the orthorhombic space group P2l2l2l and adopts the syn, s-trans configuration in the solid state. The orange, light stable isomer of 3-ethyl-1,5-diphenylformazan belongs to the monoclinic space group P2l/c and adopts the anti, s-trans configuration in the solid state. The rate of return of the photo-activated orange isomer to the dark-stable red isomer follows first order kinetics dependent upon the total concentration of the formazan and the water content of the solvent. 3-Tertiary-butyl-1,5-diphenylformazan has been characterised by an x-ray crystal analysis. C17H20N4, belongs to the monoclinic space group P2/c, a = 11.235(3), b = 20.117(5), c = 14.176(3) A, beta = 92.14(2) degrees, U = 3202(1) A3, Z = 8. The syn, s-cis configuration of the solid state is maintained in solution. 1,3,5-Triphenylformazan is shown to exist in two red forms in the solid state. The syn, s-cis and syn, s-trans isomers are both present in the crystalline sample. These isomers are also evident in solution with the syn, s-trans configuration becoming more dominant in aprotic solvents. 1,5-Diphenylformazan reacts with bromine in solution in a single reaction to give di(3-bromo-1,5-diphenyltetrazolium)-decabromide and 3-bromo-1,5-di-para-phenylformazan, both of which have been characterised by an x-ray crystal analysis. C13H10.6N4Br5.3 belongs to the triclinic space group Pl, a = 8.572(1), b = 9.711(1), c = 14.166(3) A, alpha = 75.18(1), beta = 89.84(1), gamma = 70.42(1) degrees, Z = 2. Stacks of anti-parallel pairs of 3-bromo-1,5-diphenyltetrazolium cations are interleaved by pairs of Br102- anions. The polybromide represents a new type of polyhalogen network for bromine, Br102-, the Raman spectrum of which has been recorded for the first time. C13H9N4Br3 belong to the orthorhombic space group Pnma, a = 7.343(2), b = 32.793(12), c = 5.912(1) A, Z = 4. The formazan adopts the anti, s-trans configuration in the solid state. 3-Chloro-1,5-diphenylformazan has been characterised by an x-ray crystal analysis. Preliminary results indicate that the formazan adopts the anti, s-trans configuration in the solid state. 3-Mercapto-1,5-diphenylformazan is shown to exist in the anti, s-trans configuration in CDCl3, solution. 3-Methylthio-1,5-diphenylformazan is shown to exist in an equilibrium mixture of syn, s-trans and anti, s-trans configurations in solution. The ratio of the two isomers is approximately equal. 3-Ethylthio-1,5-diphenylformazan exists in two isomers in the solid state, one of which has been characterised by an x-ray crystal analysis. Preliminary results indicate that the orange isomer of 3-ethylthio-1,5-diphenylformazan. C15H16N4S belongs to the monoclinic space group P2l/a, a = 11.027(6). b = 8.627(7), c = 15.487(8) A, b = 93.70(5) degrees, U = 1470 A3, Z = 4, and exists in the anti, s-trans configuration on the solid state. The orange and red isomers are both present in an equilibrium mixture in solution. The red isomer is shown to exist in the syn, s-trans configuration in the solid. 3-isopropylthio-1,5-diphenylformazan is shown to exist in an equilibrium mixture of anti, s-trans and syn, s-trans configurations in solution. 1-Methyl-1,5-diphenylformazan has been characterised by an x-ray crystal analysis. C14H14N4 belongs to the monoclinic space group 12/1, a = 28.402(7), b = 5.640(1), c = 15.688(4) A, beta = 97.34 degrees, U = 2493(1) A3, Z = 8. The formazan adopts the anti, s-trans configuration in the solid state. The formazan retains its configurational integrity in both protic and aprotic solutions. The excitation profile of the Raman active phonons based upon coupled vibrations of the formazan backbone indicate a maximum corresponding to the absorption spectra in both the solid state and in solution. Preliminary results of a kinetic investigation of some primary metal dithizonates indicate that the thermal-path return is strictly first order. The mechanism would appear to be essentially similar to that operating in 3-ethyl-1,5-diphenylformazan. The mass spectra of the series of formazan follow similar splitting schemes irrespective of the solid-state configuration.</p>

1,3-Dimethyldiaza-2-arsenanium tetrachlorogallate (crystal data: C5H12AsCl4GaN2, M = 386.61, orthorhombic, space group Pca21, a = 14.432(3) Å, b = 6.7580(14) Å, c = 13.905(3) Å, V = 1356.2(5) Å3) is synthesized by the routine chloride ion abstraction procedure from 2-chloro-1,3-dimethyldiaza-2-arsenane (crystal data: C5H12AsClN2, M = 210.54, monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 7.206(1) Å, b = 9.650(1) Å, c = 13.021(2) Å, β = 99.61(2)°, V = 892.8(2) Å3). X-ray crystallographic studies of both compounds are described together with that for 2-chloro-1,3-dimethyldiaza-2-arsolidine (crystal data: C4H10AsClN2, M = 196.51, monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 6.959(7) Å, b = 9.23(2) Å, c = 12.14(2) Å, β = 95.4(1)°, V = 777(4) Å3) providing useful structural comparisons. In contrast to the closely related arsolidinium salts, the diazarsenanium gallate exhibits a monomeric solid state structure. Rapid and quantitative cycloaddition reactions of the diazarsolidinium and diazarsenanium cations with 2,4-dimethylbutadiene give similar cycloadducts. The Diels–Alder type arsolidinium adduct is structurally characterized (crystal data: C10H20AsCl4GaN2, M = 454.73, orthorhombic, space group Pca21, a = 18.471(2) Å, b = 7.000(2) Å, c = 13.738(1) Å, V = 1776.2(8) Å3), and the related structure of the arsenanium cycloadduct is confirmed by 2D NMR.

The structures of two crystalline modifications of mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-cis-Cl2IrIII, (1), have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Modification (A) is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 12.635(1), b 30.605(3), c 14.992(2)Ǻ, β 110.01(2)° and Z = 8. Modification (B) is orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a 27.646(3), b 11.366(1), c 17.252(2)Ǻ and Z = 8. The structures were solved by conventional heavy atom techniques and refined by full-matrix least- squares analyses to conventional R values of 0.037 [(A), 8845 independent reflections] and 0.028 [(B), 5291 independent reflections]. Important bond lengths [Ǻ] are Ir -P(trans to Cl ) 2.249(1) av. (A) and 2.234(1) (B), Ir -P(trans to PMe2Ph) 2.339(2) av. (A) and 2.344(1), 2.352(1) (B), Ir-Cl (trans to H) 2.492(2), 2.518(2) (A) and 2.503(1) (B) and Ir-Cl (trans to PMe2Ph)2.452(2) av. (A) and 2.449(1)(B). Differences in chemically equivalent metal- ligand bond lengths emphasize the importance of non-bonded contacts in determining those lengths.

Intermediate products have been isolated from the reaction of (4,4,9,9-tetramethyl-5,8-diazadodecane-2,11-dione dihydrazone )nickel(II) perchlorate with butane-2,3-dione which finally yields the macrocyclic product (3,4,7,9,9,14,14,16-octamethyl-1,2,5,6,10,13-hexaazacyclohexa-deca-2,4,6,16-tetraene)nickel(II) perchlorate , [Ni( omht )] (ClO4)2. An initial violet product is assigned a structure with the macrocyclic ligand 3-acetyl-3,6,8,8,13,13,15-heptamethyl-1,2,4,5,9,12-hexaazacyclopentadeca-5,15-diene. In water this converts into an equilibrium mixture of the tautomeric cations blue cis-aqua(3,4,7,9,9,14,14,16-octamethyl-1,2,5,6,10,13-hexaazacyclohexadeca-1(16),4,6-trien-3-ol)nickel(II), cis-[Ni(L2)(H2O)]2+, and orange (3,6,8,- 8,13,13-hexamethyl-4,5,9,12-tetraazahexadeca-3,5-diene-2,15-dione 15-hydrazone)nickel(II), [Ni(L3)]2+. The rates at 25°C of the forward and reverse reactions of this tautomerism, and of the slower conversion of the equilibrium mixture to [Ni( omht )](ClO4)2, are reported. The structure of cis -[Ni(L2)(H2O)](ClO4)2.3H2O has been determined by X-ray diffractometry (monoclinic, space group P21/n, a 9.694(8), b 19.218(14), c 16.652(9) Ǻ, β 94.88(1)°, R 0.079 for 3254 reflections). This has NiII in octahedral coordination by secondary amine nitrogen atoms 10 and 13, hydrazone nitrogen atoms 1 and 6, and the carbinolamine oxygen substituent at position 3 of the pentadentate macrocyclic ligand L2, with a water molecule coordinated cis to the hydroxy group. Compounds of the tautomeric cations [Ni(L2)]2+ and [Ni(L3)]2+ with coordinated thiocyanate, azide, nitrite, oxalate and acetate are described.

The preparation and solid state characterization of the bifunctional radical furan-2,5-bis(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN2S2)] and the related monofunctional radical 2-cyanofuran-5-(1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN)] are described. The crystal structure of 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN2S2)] is orthorhombic, space group Pna21, and consists of interleaved arrays of dimers, for which the mean interannular [Formula: see text] contact is 3.137 Å. The crystal structure of the monofunctional radical 2,5-[(S2N2C)OC4H2(CN)] is monoclinic, space group P21/n, and consists of a ribbon-like network of dimers (mean interannular [Formula: see text] interconnected by close head-to-tail [Formula: see text] contacts. The dimer units form stacks parallel to z, with a mean interdimer [Formula: see text] separation of 3.956 Å. The similarities and differences between these two crystal structures and those of related benzene-substituted systems are discussed. Keywords: dithiadiazolyl radicals, furan-based diradicals, cyanofuran-based radicals, radical dimers, crystal structures.

The solid-state structures of alkali-metal salt complexes of crown ether tetra- and hexa-carboxylic acids (18C6A4 and 18C6A6) have been determined. The sodium salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the trihydrate in orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 7.6868(12), b = 15.429(3), c = 21.975(2) Å, R = 0.031 for 5192 observed data); the potassium salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the the trihydrate in orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 7.6711(8), b = 15.709(2), c = 21.966(5) Å, R = 0.035 for 2521 observed data); the thallium(I) salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the dihydrate in orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 12.0331(10), b = 12.4333(12), c = 17.366(2) Å, R = 0.035 for 4952 observed data); and the cesium salt of 18C6A6 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21 (a = 7.708(3), b = 13.492(2), c = 11.9501(9) Å, β = 94.49(2)°, R = 0.029 for 4480 observed data). The sodium salt of 18C6A4 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21 (a = 11.4368(11), b = 7.7068(11), c = 12.6579(12) Å, β = 98.515(8)°, R = 0.035 for 3000 observed data); the thallium(I) salt of 18C6A4 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21(a = 11.719(2), b = 7.668(2), c = 12.8403(13) Å, β = 99.052(9)°, R = 0.040 for 3981 observed data); and the cesium salt of 18C6A4 crystallizes as the dihydrate in monoclinic space group P21 (a = 11.787(2), b = 7.637(2), c = 13.001(2) Å, β = 98.705(12)°, R = 0.038 for 3428 observed data). Both chorands exhibit a cooperative relationship of mean cavity radius and guest-ion radius, which closely follows the effective ionic radii of the guests. The hexaacid is a preorganized host for monohydrated cations. It provides a trigonal hydrogen bonding receptor site for the water molecule, and up to nine oxygen donors for cation binding. Guests ranging in size from Na+ to Cs+ are accommodated without distortion of the macrocyclic framework. The tetraacid is similarly tolerant of a range of guests, but greater structural reorganization of the ligand is required to optimize contacts with fully dehydrated cations. Skeletal drawings of donor atoms, in conjunction with polar coordinate maps of torsion angles, reveal how the demands of the guest are accommodated by the host.
