Spontaneous S-alkylation of methimazole (1) with 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) into 1,2-bis[(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)thio]ethane (2), that we have described recently, opened the question about its formation pathway(s). Results of the synthetic, NMR spectroscopic, crystallographic and computational studies suggest that, under given conditions, 2 is obtained by direct attack of 1 on the chloroethyl derivative 2-[(chloroethyl)thio]-1-methyl-1H-imidazole (3), rather than through the isolated stable thiiranium ion isomer, i.e., 7-methyl-2H, 3H, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-4-ium chloride (4a, orthorhombic, space group Pnma), or in analogy with similar reactions, through postulated, but unproven intermediatethiiranium ion 5. Furthermore, in the reaction with 1, 4a prefers isomerization to the N-chloroethyl derivative, 1-chloroethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thione (7), rather than alkylation to 2, while 7 further reacts with 1 to form 3-methyl-1-[(1-methyl-imidazole-2-yl)thioethyl]-1H-imidazole-2-thione (8, monoclinic, space group P 21/c). Additionally, during the isomerization of 3, the postulated intermediate thiiranium ion 5 was not detected by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, nor by trapping with AgBF4. However, trapping resulted in the formation of the silver complex of compound 3, i.e., bis-{2-[(chloroethyl)thio]-1-methyl-1H-imidazole}-silver(I)tetrafluoroborate (6, monoclinic, space group P 21/c), which cyclized upon heating at 80 °C to 7-methyl-2H, 3H, 7H-imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-4-ium tetrafluoroborate (4b, monoclinic, space group P 21/c). Finally, we observed thermal isomerization of both 2 and 2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1-[(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)thioethyl]-1H-imidazole-2-thione (8), into 1,2-bis(2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-1H-imidazole-2-thione-1-yl)ethane (9), which confirmed their structures.

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.

Mixed sulfido/oxidomolybdate anions [MoOxS4−x]2− (x = 1, 2, 3) have been prepared by passing H2S gas through a solution of oxidomolybdates. The alkali salts of K+, Rb+, Cs+, and NH+4 precipitate as crystalline salts from these solutions depending on the pH, the polarity of the solvent, the educt concentrations and the temperature. Their structures have been determined by means of X-ray single-crystal diffraction data. All trisulfidomolybdates A2[MoOS3] (A = NH4/K/Rb/Cs) are isotypic with the tetrasulfido salts, exhibiting the β -K2[SO4] type (orthorhombic, space group Pnma, Z = 4; for A = Rb: a = 940.62(4), b = 713.32(4), c = 1164.56(5) pm, R1 = 0.0281). In contrast, the disulfidomolybdates exhibit a rich crystal chemistry, forming three different structure types depending on the preparation conditions and the size of the A cation: All four cations form salts crystallizing with the (NH4)2[WO2S2] structure type (monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, for A = Rb: a = 1144.32(11), b = 732.60(4), c = 978.99(10) pm, β = 120.324(7)°, R1 = 0.0274). For the three alkali metal cations a second polymorph with a new structure type (monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4) is observed in addition (for A = Rb: a = 674.83(2), b = 852.98(3), c = 1383.10(9) pm, β = 115.19(1)°, R1 = 0.0216). The cesium salt also crystallizes with a third modification of another new structure type (orthorhombic, space group Pbcn, Z = 4, a = 915.30(6), b = 777.27(7), c = 1120.02(7) pm, R1 = 0.0350). Only for K, an anhydrous monosulfidomolybdate could be obtained (K2[MoO4] structure type, monoclinic, space group C2/m, Z = 4, a = 1288.7(3), b = 615.7(2), c = 762.2(1) pm, β = 109.59(1)°, R1 = 0.0736). The intramolecular chemical bonding in the molybdate anions is discussed and compared with the respective vanadates. Hereby aspects like bond lengths, bond strengths and force constants derived from Raman spectroscopy, are taken into account. Especially for the polymorphic disulfido salts, in-depth analyses of the local coordination numbers and the packing of the ions are presented. The gradual bathochromic shift of the crystal color with increasing S content and increasing size of the counter cations A and molar volumes (for the polymorphic forms), respectively, is in accordance with the increase of the experimental (UV/Vis spectroscopy) and calculated (FP-LAPW band structure theory) band gaps.

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.

Single crystals of lithium iron tungstate, LiFe(WO4)2, were obtained using a high-temperature solution growth method. The analysis was conducted using the monoclinic space groupC2/c, with β = 90.597 (2)°, givingR1 = 0.0177. The Li and Fe atoms lie on twofold axes. The structure can also be refined using the orthorhombic space groupCmcm, giving slightly higher residuals. The experimental value of β and the residuals mitigate in favour of the monoclinic description of the structure. Calculated bond-valence sums for the present results are closer to expected values than those obtained using the results of a previously reported analysis of this structure.

The preparation and purification of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] and [Pd( hpip )Cl2] ( hpip = homopiperazine = 1,4-diazacycloheptane) are described. Crystal structures of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] and [Pd( hpip )Cl2] have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to R values of 0.023 (932 F) and 0.023 (948 F). The crystals of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] are orthorhombic, space group Pbcm , a 7.7019(8), b 9.8080(12), c 12.1944(14) Ǻ, and those of [Pd( hpip )Cl2] are monoclinic, space group P21/m, a 6.1001(9), b 11.527(2), c 6.458(I) Ǻ, β 106.30(2)°. The seven- membered rings of the ligands in both complexes adopt boat-like conformations in which the five- membered chelate ring has an eclipsed N-C-C-N group and the six- membered chelate ring adopts a chair conformation. Molecular mechanics methods were used to investigate whether this conformation was a crystallographic artefact but it was found to be real. An alternative conformation in which the six-membered chelate ring adopts a skew-boat conformation was also investigated. It was found to be less stable than the conformation observed in the crystal structures, but to a degree that depends on whether non-bonded interactions involving the metal atom were included or not.

The reactions of N-substituted dithiocarbamic acid esters and nickel acetate yield, by partial degradation of the esters, the polynuclear nickel thiolato complexes cyclo-[(μ-SMe)2Ni]6, 1 and [(μ-SMe)2(Ni(MeNHCS2))2, 2. Their crystal structures have been determined. The Ni coordination spheres are comprised of four sulfur atoms in a planar arrangement. 1 is a second, highly symmetrical modification of the already known cyclic hexamer Ni6(SMe)12. In 2 two Ni(PhNHCS2) moieties are bridged to dimers by thiolato groups. Two of these dimers are connected to a tetramer by weak axial Ni-S interactions. Crystal data for 1: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 986.1(2), b = 1308.1(3), c = 1228.6(2) pm, β = 96.07(3)°, Z = 2, R = 0.072, Rw = 0.062, 3797 reflections. 2: orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 1790.0(4), b = 1806.7(4), c = 934.4(2) pm. Z = 4, R = 0.061, Rw = 0.051, 2079 reflections

PPh3Au(tolN5tol) is obtained by the reaction of PPh3Au+ClO4- with Tl(tolN5tol). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with the lattice parameters a = 1548.8(5), b = 1070.7(2), c = 1779.1(3) pm, β = 90.33(2)°, Z = 4. In the monomeric complex the gold atom is nearly linearcoordinated by the phosphorus atom of the PPh3 group and nitrogen atom N3 of the pentaazadienido ligand ( N3 - Au - P 178.4°). tolNN(NCH3)NNtol crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pccn with the lattice constants a = 2426.7(9), b = 469.3(2), c = 1195.3(4) pm. The unit cell contains four molecules, located on twofold axes. Due to the isolobality of the CH3 and the PPh3Au group, the two structures are closely related. Both contain the typical planar zig-zag chain of five nitrogen atoms with located double bonds N1-N2 and N4 - N5 (from 119.8 to 126.6 pm) and shortened single bonds N2 - N3 and N3 - N4 (132.7 to 140.0 pm).
