Thiones have been investigated as ligands in metal complexes with catalytic and biological activity. We report the synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of a series of MII/III complexes of the general formulae [MII(cym)(L)Cl]X (cym = η6-p-cymene) or [MIII(Cp*)(L)Cl]X (Cp* = η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), where X = Cl− or PF6−, and L represents heterocyclic derivatives of thiourea. The thiones feature a benzyl-triazolyl pendant and they act as bidentate ligands via N,S-coordination to the metal centers. Several derivatives have been investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. NMR investigations showed a counterion-dependent shift of several protons due to the interaction with the counterions. These NMR investigations were complemented with X-ray diffraction analysis data and the effects of different counterions on the secondary coordination sphere were also investigated by DFT calculations. In biological studies, the Ir benzimidazole derivative was found to accumulate in the cytoplasm and it was the most cytotoxic derivative investigated.

Interaction of molybdenyl(VI) bis(acetylacetonate) with polyphenylsiloxane in xylene and under mechanochemical activation conditions has been investigated. The interaction of the above reagents under mechanical activation conditions proceeds with formation of soluble polymers similar to those obtained in a solution with the silicon/molybdenum ratio equal to 2.6. The crystal chemistry parameters of the fraction obtained in solution with the ratio Si/Mo = 1:2 have been calculated on the basis of the X-ray diffraction analysis data using the Debye–Shearer equation. It has been demonstrated that the chain cross-section found using the Miller–Boyer method coincides with that calculated geometrically on the basis of literature data on bond lengths and angles.

Abstract The reaction of cis-(Ph3P)2PtCl2 with BOC-N-glycine and FMOC-N-alanine gives the carboxylate coordinated complexes cis-(Ph3P)2 Pt(Cl)(O2CCH2NHBOC) (1) and cis- (Ph3 P)2Pt(Cl)(O2CC(H)(Me)NHFMOC (2). Chloride and proton abstraction from 1 affords the N,O-chelate complex (Ph3P)2Pt(O2CCH2NBOC) (3). From the chloro-bridged compounds [Cp*MCl2]2 (M = Rh, Ir), [(p-cymene)RuCl2]2 and BOC-N-L-MetGlyOH (L) the compounds Cp*M(Cl)2L (4, 5) and (p-cymene)Ru(Cl)2L (6 ) with the mono-dentate dipeptide are obtained which in the presence of NaOMe form O,N,S-bis(chelate) complexes 7 - 9 . The X-ray diffraction analysis of the iridium O,N,S chelate complex 8 shows a five membered and a seven membered chelate ring.

AbstractTwo homodimetallic dipicolinate compounds of the formulae [Co(H2O)5Co(dipic)2]·2H2O (1) and [Ni(H2O)5Ni(dipic)2]·2H2O (2) have been synthesized and their crystal structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The prepared isostructural compounds consist of cationic {MO5O’}2+and anionic {MN2O4}2-moieties, where CoII/CoIIor NiII/NiIImetal centers are connected together by bridging μ-carboxylate oxygen atoms from dipicolinate anions. H-bond interactions involving aqua ligands, dipicolinate oxygens and lattice solvent molecules stabilize the dimeric units by linking them into 3-D polymeric networks.

Single crystals of the Np(V) and Pu(V) benzoate complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine were prepared. According to X-ray diffraction analysis data, they are isostructural neutral dimers with the [AnO

The paper reflects various aspects of the use of X-ray investigation methods, their advantages and application in forensic science of the phase composition of metals, paint and varnish coatings and paintwork materials, fragments of explosive devices. Practical examples of X-ray diffraction analysis application for thin film specimens made on the basis of paints containing alkyd varnish, pigments, fillers and solvents of various colour range have been examined. Influence of true physical broadening, on lines of diffractograms taken for samples exposed to shock wave action was also studied. It was found that this broadening is directly connected with influence of microstrains and fine dispersion of mosaic structure blocks. Based on the obtained X-ray diffraction analysis data, the dislocation density was calculated by three methods. Based on summarized experimental and literature data, the dependence of microstrains on the explosive weight was plotted, which can be used as a reference standard for comparison in expert studies of samples exposed to shock-wave impact.

Thermolysis of [8,8-(PMe2Ph)2-nido-8,7-PtCB9H11] in boiling toluene solution results in an elimination of the platinum centre and cluster closure to give the ten-vertex closo species [6-(PMe2Ph)-closo-1-CB9H9] in 85% yield as a colourles air stable solid. The product is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals (from hexane-dichloromethane) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 903.20(9), b = 1 481.86(11), c = 2 320.0(2) pm, β = 97.860(7)° and Z = 8, and the structure has been refined to R(Rw) = 0.045(0.051) for 3 281 observed reflections with Fo > 2.0σ(Fo). The clean high-yield elimination of a metal centre from a polyhedral metallaborane or metallaheteroborane species is very rare.

Dinuclear rhodium(I) η2:η2-cycloocta-1,5-diene (series a) and η2:η2-norborna-2,5-diene (series b) complexes with μ-RCOO- ligands, where R is linear C21H43 (complexes 1a, 1b), CH2CMe3 (2a, 2b), 1-adamantyl (3a, 3b) and benzyl (4a, 4b), have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Structures of complexes 2b, 3a and 4a were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes prepared show low to moderate catalytic activity in polymerization of phenylacetylene in THF giving high-cis-transoid polymers, but they show only oligomerization activity in dichloromethane.
