The thermolysis of arachno-1 [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H8)(CS2H)] in the presence of tellurium powder yielded a series of ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes: [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 2, [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3B(SMe)}] 3, and [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 4. Compounds 2–4 were considered as ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes, where the central six-membered ring {C2BS3} adopted a boat conformation. Compounds 2–4 were similar to our recently reported ruthenium diborinane complex [(Cp*Ru){(η2-SCHS)CH2S2(BH2)2}]. Unlike diborinane, where the central six-membered ring {CB2S3} adopted a chair conformation, compounds 2–4 adopted a boat conformation. In an attempt to convert arachno-1 into a closo or nido cluster, we pyrolyzed it in toluene. Interestingly, the reaction led to the isolation of a capped butterfly cluster, [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H5)(CS2H2)] 5. All the compounds were characterized by 1H, 11B{1H}, and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of complexes 2, 3, and 5 were also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The molecular structures of exo-7-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, 3, and the endo-7-methyl isomer, 4, have been determined using X-ray-diffraction techniques. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 15.115(1), c = 7.677(2) Å, and Z = 8 while 4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 6.446(1), b = 7.831(1), c = 8.414(2) Å, β = 94.42(2)°, and Z = 2. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to final agreement factors of R = 0.041 and R = 0.034 for 3 and 4 respectively. Compound 3 exists in a chair–chair conformation and there is no significant flattening of the chair rings. However, in 4, the non-ketone ring is forced into a boat conformation. These results are significant in interpreting what conformations may be present in the related sp2-hybridized carbocations.

AbstractZn(II) halide complexes of the form L2ZnX2 (X=Cl, Br, I) containing bio-relevant or bio-related ligands like 1-alkyl-imidazoles (alkyl=methyl, ethyl and iso-propyl) or (–)-nicotine are presented. All complexes were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of the majority of complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The zinc ion exists in a tetrahedral environment coordinated by two halide anions and two nitrogen atoms of the N-heterocycles. Upon photoexcitation the nicotine complexes feature a blue emission which we tentatively assign to phosphorescence.

The synthesis of bis(triarylstannanethiocarbonyl)disulfides was attempted by oxidation of lithium triaryl stannane carbodithioates with molecular iodine. Unexpectedly, the desired compounds are highly unstable and undergo subsequent fragmentation giving triarylstannyl triarylstannanecarbodithioates. The proposed mechanism for this transformation assumes intramolecular nucleophilic substitution with formation of six-membered ring transition complex, stabilized by interaction between tin and thiocarbonyl sulfur atom. Obtained compounds were identified by mass-spectrometry and NMR spectroscopies, and their structures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction. These molecules show the existence of intramolecular non-bonding interactions between the sulfur atoms of the thiocarbonyl moieties and tin atoms. These interactions reflect the tin - sulfur affinity and are the main driving force in the fragmen tation of bis(triphenylstannanethiocarbonyl)disulfides.

Abstract 5,11,17,23-Tetrakis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-25,26,27,28-tetra-n-propoxycalix[4]arene (1) was synthesised in two steps starting from 25,26,27,28-tetra-n-propoxycalix[4]arene, and the structure of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 was desilylated (K2CO3) to give 5,11,17,23- tetrakis(ethynyl)-25,26,27,28-tetra-n-propoxycalix[4]arene (2), which was tetra-aurated under basic conditions (NaOEt, THF) with a series of phosphane-gold chlorides (o-Tol3PAuCl, Ph3PAuCl, Ph2MePAuCl, PhMe2PAuCl, Me3PAuCl, Cy3PAuCl, t-Bu3PAuCl) to afford in good to excellent yields the tetra-aurated tetraethynylcalix[4]arene species 3-9 in one step [with phosphane ligands o-Tol3P (3), Ph3P (4), Ph2MeP (5), PhMe2P (6), Me3P (7), Cy3P (8), t-Bu3P (9)]. All compounds were characterised by 1H NMR and infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and by elemental analyses, additionally 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 by 13C{1H}, and 3-6, 8 and 9 by 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of complexes 3 and 9 were determined by X-ray diffraction and show pinched-cone conformations, but neither intra- nor intermolecular attractive aurophilic Au···Au contacts. The acceptor ability of complexes 3 and 9 was investigated by complexation attempts with various phosphane-gold chlorides and xenon gas under pressure, but interactions could not be determined experimentally. The formation of a complex between xenon and gilded calix[4]arene could, however, be predicted for fluorine-substituted species and with very small phosphane ligands (PH3) on the basis of quantum-chemical calculations; the energy of formation is 9:6 kJ mol-1. The crystal structure of Ph2MePAuCl was also determined and shows Au···Au-bonded dimers.

The synthesis and characterization of complexes obtained from the reactions between Li[N-t-Bu(SiMe3)] (A) or the sodium analogue Na[N-t-Bu(SiMe3)] (B) and the cyanoarene RCN (R = Ph or 4-MeOC6H4) are discussed. These are the THF adduct [Li{µ-cis-N(t-Bu)C(Ph)N(SiMe3)}(THF)]2 (1), the TMEDA adduct Li[N(t-Bu)C(Ph)N(SiMe3)](TMEDA) (2), the neutral ligand-free lithium benzamidinate Li[N(t-Bu)C(C6H4OMe-4)N(SiMe3)] (3), and the THF adduct Li[N(t-Bu)C(C6H4OMe-4)N(SiMe3)](THF) (3a). The preparation and structure of the crystalline compound [Na{µ-cis-N(t-Bu)C(Ph)N(SiMe3)}(OEt2)]2 (4) is described. From the lithium benzamidinate 1 and Sn(II) chloride the tin(II) complex [Sn{N(t-Bu)C(Ph)N(SiMe3)}2] (5) was obtained. The molecular structures of the crystalline compounds 1, 4, and 5 were established by X-ray diffraction. In 1 and 4 the benzamidinato ligand is both chelating and bridging, with the Me3Si-substituted nitrogen atom as the bridging site. The central planar (MN)2 four-membered ring is a rhombus in 1, with almost equal Li—N bond lengths, whereas in 4 the bonds to Na(1) are significantly longer than those to Na(2). In 5, the ligand is N,N′-chelating. Key words: alkali metals, tin(II), benzamidinates, NMR spectra, X-ray structures.

Abstract Two isomers of 7-methyl-9-oxo-2,4-diphenyl-3-oxa-7-aza-bicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-1,5-ethyl dicarboxylate (1a and 1b) were obtained by condensation of 2,6-diphenyl-1-oxa-4-oxo-cyclohexan-3,5-ethyl dicarboxylate with methylamine and formaldehyde. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. They crystallize in the triclinic space group P1̄ with (for 1a) a = 12.907(5), b = 11.223(4), c = 8.993(4) Å, α = 105.82(4), β = 100.14(5), γ = 97.35(4)°, and (for 1b) a = 16.400(7), b = 13.062(4), c = 11.336(2) Å, α = 94.19(3), β = 94.74(3), γ = 102.56(4)°. This investigation has shown that isomer 1a has the boat-chair conformation, and isomer 1b has the chair-chair conformation. The formation of la causes a configurational change of the phenyl substituents. The two species are characterized by NMR spectroscopy. - Another comparable bicyclononanone with a bulky substituent at the nitrogen atom has been synthesized and was investigated spectroscopically. This compound should have chair-boat conformation (with the boat conformation in the N-heterocyclic ring) whereas 1a has the boat conformation in the O-heterocyclic ring.

The crystal and molecular structures of two trans-1,2,4,5-tetraza-diphospha-3,6-cyclohexane- 3,6-disulfides, 2 and 3, have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The 3,6-diphenyl- 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl-derivative 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C He. Its P2N 4 heterocycle adopts a twist conformation. In contrast, the hexamethyl derivative 3 is triclinic, space group P1̅, and its ring shows chair conformation. Torsion angles in these two compounds and similar ones reveal less interaction between lone pairs of electrons on adjacent N-atoms in the chair conformation but stronger interaction of those bound to phosphorus. It is suggested that the latter interaction is responsible for the larger N -P -N bond angle (107°) as compared to the smaller one (101°) in the P2N4 rings present in twist conformation.

Two new cucurbituril members, one containing two equivalent cavities and the other having an active secondary amine group, were synthesized by condensation of propanediurea (2,4,6,8-tetraazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3,7-dione) with formaldehyde. These two macrocycles exhibit excellent thermal stability, and their structures were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
