Transparent and colorless single crystals of Yb26B12O57 were obtained by reacting Yb2O3 and B powder at 1000 °C in the presence of a KCl flux for 24 h in silica-jacketed Nb ampoules and subsequent removal of the flux by washing with water. Yb26B12O57 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (no. 12, Z = 1) with the lattice parameters a = 2454:1(3), b = 357:78(4), c = 1426:7(2) pm and β = 115:111(6)°, and its structure differs slightly from that of a known compound with the same stoichiometry. Raman spectra of single crystals of the title compound were recorded and compared to those of known borate compounds

The title compound has been prepared in two different ways: First, by boiling single crystals of [(C2H5)4N]HgCl3 in a mixture of n-hexane/n-octane [4:1] at T = 350 K, and second, in a synthesis from stoichiometric quantities of the components. X-ray structure analysis gave the stoichiometry [(C2H5)4N]2Hg3Cl8, monoclinic, space group P21, a = 7.538(3), b = 19.909(6), c = 10.274(3) Å, β = 95.13(1)°, V = 1535.7(9) A3, Z = 2. The basic [Hg3Cl8]2--units form broken zig-zag chains along [100]. The Hg–Cl distances within the [Hg3Cl8]2- clusters range from 2.315(3) to 2.755(4) Å. This is a new coordination type for halomercurates.

AbstractThe title compound, Cl2PN2CCl, has been synthesized by the reaction of PCl5 with Me3Si -N = C = N - SiMe3 (Me - CH3) in a 1:1 molar ratio. The colourless com pound is trimericin benzene solution and in the solid state and has a structure with a highly puckered 12-membered P3N6C3-ring skeleton of low symmetry. The X-ray structure determination shows a monoclinic space group P 21/a with 4 trimeric units per cell.

3SbF3•4SbF5 has been prepared from the reaction of SbF3 with a large excess of SbF5 and from the reaction of WF5 with SbF5 in Genetron 113. An X-ray structure determination has shown that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 8.547(10), b = 13.521(8), c = 19.551(12) Å, β = 100.3(1)°,Z = 4with the final residual indices of R = 0.0486 and Rw = 0.0526 for 4274 unique reflections. If only Sb—F distances of less than 2.1 Å are considered the structure can be viewed in terms of the arrangement (SbF2+)(SbF2+)(SbF6−)4. A Raman spectrum from single crystals of the compound is reported. Keywords: X-ray, structure, antimony, fluoride, Raman.

Abstract The molecular structure of the bridged [1]-titanocenophane 1,1'-dimethylsilylene titanocene dichloride, (CH3)2Si(C5H4)2TiCl2, has been investigated by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1332.9(3), 6 = 988.7(3), c = 1068.9(3) pm, β = 113.43(2)°. The results are compared with the structural dimensions of similar compounds: 1,1'-methylene titanocene dichloride, CH2(C5H4)TiCl2, with the unbridged titanocene dichloride, (C5H5)2TiCl2 and the ethylene-bridged compound (CH2)2(C5H4)2TiCl2

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.

The X-ray crystal structure of 3α,4α:5β,6β-diepoxyandrostan-17-one has been determined. Crystals of the title compound (C19H26O3)are monoclinic, space group P21, with a 9.208(2), b 9.620(4), c 9.312(3) �, β 99.14(2)�, V 814.5 Ǻ3 and Z 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R 0.039 for 887 observed reflexions. The 3α,4α:5β,6β configuration of the epoxide rings confirms the assignment based on proton n.m.r. studies.

Abstract Unexpectedly the reaction of SbCl3 with Na(N{SiMe3}2) in a 1:3 molar ratio forms MeSb(N{SiMe3}2)2, I, (Me = CH3) and other trimethylsilyl compounds. The colourless and liquid methylstibane derivative I is monomeric in solution and forms MeSbCl2(N{SiMe3}2)2 (II) on reaction with SO2Cl2. Both new compounds have been characterized by analyses, NMR, IR and Raman spectra. The X-ray structure determination for II shows the monoclinic space group P21/C with 4 monomeric units per cell. The structure was refined to an R-value of 0,052.

Colourless single crystals of the title compound are obtained from a saturated solution of NaOSiPh3 in toluene in a humid atmosphere. We have characterized [Na4(OSiPh3)H2O)3] by IR spectroscopy and by a crystal structure determination. Space group R3, Z = 6 , R = 0.056. Lattice dimensions at -70°C: a = b = 1540.3 pm, c = 2639.6 pm. The compound has the structure of a Na4O4 heterocubane which is only slighty distorted and in which one of the sodium atoms is not hydrated and shows coordination number three.

Abstract Benzo-18 -crown-6 -Acetonitrile (1/2), Crystal Structure Single crystals of the title complex resulted fortuitously during an attempt to co-crystallise MeN(SO2Me)2 with benzo-18-crown-6 from an MeCN solution at -30 °C. The crystal structure has been determined via data collection at -100 °C (monoclinic, space group P21/n, Z = 4). The nitrile molecules are located with their me­ thyl groups above and below the plane of the 18-membered crown ring, the Me hydrogen atoms being rotationally disordered about the MeCN axes; C(methyl)···O(crown) distances range from 309.4(3) to 384.9(3) pm.
