The reaction of PhECl2 with 2 equiv of LiHN-t-Bu has been studied for the series E = As, Sb, and Bi to determine the effect of the phenyl group on subsequent amine condensation processes. For PhAsCl2, the metathesis product PhAs(NH-t-Bu)2 4 was obtained as a colourless oil. Similar reactions involving PhECl2, where E = Sb or Bi, yielded the cyclodipnict(III)azanes PhE(μ-N-t-Bu)2EPh 5 (E = Sb) and 6 (E = Bi), respectively. Treatment of 4 with 2 equiv of n-BuLi produced the dilithium salt Li2[PhAs(N-t-Bu)2] 7a. Products 4, 5, 6, and 7a were characterized by 1H, 7Li (7a), and 13C NMR spectra, while 5, 6, and 7a were also structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Compound 7a is dimeric in the solid state via intermolecular Li···N and η6-Li···Ph interactions. The cyclodipnict(III)azanes 5 and 6 have similar structures, with the exocyclic phenyl groups in trans positions relative to the E2N2 ring. This synthetic approach provides a new route to the four-membered rings RE(μ-N-t-Bu)2ER (E = Sb, Bi) and the first example of a bis(organyl)cyclodibism(III)azane.Key words: arsenic, antimony, bismuth, amides, imides.

The 2:1 adduct of benzyne with 2-methylanisole is shown to have the bisbenzotricyclic structure 6,6a,11,11a-tetrahydro-5-methoxy-6-methyl-5,6,11-metheno-5H-benzo[a]fluorene by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study (C20H18O: Pca21, a = 15.0497(17), b = 9.87783(11), c = 9.6846(11); Z = 4; 1672 data points, R1 = 0.0325). This structure is compared to an unpublished crystal structure of the parent hydrocarbon 6,6a,11,11a-tetrahydro-5,6,11-metheno-5H-benzo[a]fluorene, C18H14. Both structures have also been computed by DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-311(d,p) level of theory. Bond distances and angles between the solid-state measurements and gas-phase calculations are found to agree well; average deviations are well below 1%. The 1H NMR spectra show surprisingly small 3JHH couplings in the central tricyclic cage, but can be assigned using 2D spectroscopy.Key words: Hydrocarbon cages, strained rings, cyclopropane, X-ray crystallography, NMR.

Crystals of 2,2-dibutyl-1,3,2-dioxastannane (1) are orthorhombic, of space group Pnma, with a = 7.663(3), b = 18.437(2), c = 9.277(4) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.0568 (Rw = 0.0551) for 1183 independent reflections with I > 3σ(I). Compound 1 is a polymer in which each monomer unit is joined to the next by a four-membered (SnO)2 ring. The Sn—O bond lengths inside the monomer units average 2.04 Å while those between monomers average 2.57 Å. The mirror plane of the crystal contains the atoms in the four-membered rings and the other oxygen atoms. Two of the three remaining carbon atoms in the six-membered rings of the monomer units are close to the mirror plane. The other carbon atom is disordered above and below the plane. It was shown by 119Sn NMR spectroscopy that solutions of 1 contain mixtures of oligomers that consist mainly of dimers, trimers, and tetramers in chloroform-d. ΔG0 values for dimmer–trimer equilibria and dimmer–tetramer equilibria of −2.5 and −1.5 kcal mol−1 were obtained from integration of low temperature 119Sn NMR spectra. These values favour the higher oligomers slightly less than those for 2,2-dibutyl-1,3,2-dioxastannolane. Keywords: 1,3,2-dioxastannanes, stannylene acetals. X-ray crystallography, 119Sn NMR spectroscopy.

It is shown by X-ray crystallography that the 1,4-dihydropyrazine skeleton of 1,4-diacetyl-1,4-dihydro-2,3-diphenylpyrazine 2 has a boat shape. The C(2)–C(3) and C(5)–C(6) double bonds are localized; therefore 2 does not exist as an azahomoaromatic entity with 6 electrons delocalized on the ring and two electrons localized on one nitrogen atom. In the solid state 2 is in a Z, Z conformation. The 1H and 13C nmr spectra indicate that 2 exists as an equilibrium mixture of Z,E, E,E, and Z,Z conformers in CD2Cl2 at −80 °C. An unambiguous assignment of the different sets of signals has been obtained by nOe experiments performed at −80 °C. The conformer distribution is the following: 65% (Z,E), 22% (E,E), and 13% (Z,Z). The relatively low barrier to rotation about the carbonyl nitrogen bonds of the two amide groups [Formula: see text] is in line with a rather large C—N bond length (~1.375 Å) in the crystal.

Proteolytic digestion of the immunoglobulin IgG with papain cleaves the molecule into an antigen binding fragment, Fab, and a compliment binding fragment, Fc. Structures of intact immunoglobulin, Fab and Fc from various sources have been solved by X-ray crystallography. Rabbit Fc can be crystallized as thin platelets suitable for high resolution electron microscopy. The structure of rabbit Fc can be expected to be similar to the known structure of human Fc, making it an ideal specimen for comparing the X-ray and electron crystallographic techniques and for the application of the molecular replacement technique to electron crystallography. Thin protein crystals embedded in ice diffract to high resolution. A low resolution image of a frozen, hydrated crystal can be expected to have a better contrast than a glucose embedded crystal due to the larger density difference between protein and ice compared to protein and glucose. For these reasons we are using an ice embedding technique to prepare the rabbit Fc crystals for molecular structure analysis by electron microscopy.

The mixed-metal mixed-halide complex [CuPbBrlL2]2 has been prepared by the direct interaction of zerovalent copper with lead halides and 2-dimethylaminoethanol (HL) in dmso and has been characterized by X-ray crystallography; the structure shows a layer arrangement of the tetranuclear metal units through the μ3-halogen bridging.

Reaction of [WI2(CO)3(NCMe)2] with two equivalents of 1-phenyl-1-propyne (MeC2Ph) in CH2Cl2, and in the absence of light, gave the bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne) complex [WI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (1) in 77% yield. Treatment of equimolar quantities of 1 and NCR (R = Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph) in CH2Cl2 afforded the nitrile-exchanged products, [WI2(CO)(NCR)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (2-5) (R = Et (2), i-Pr (3), t-Bu (4), Ph (5)). Complexes 1, 2, and 5 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. All three structures have the same pseudo-octahedral geometry, with the equatorial sites being occupied by cis and parallel alkyne groups, which are trans to the cis-iodo groups. The trans carbon monoxide and acetonitrile ligands occupy the axial sites. In structures 1 and 2, the methyl and phenyl substituents of the 1-phenyl-1-propyne ligands are cis to each other, whereas for the bulkier NCPh complex (5), the methyl and phenyl groups are trans to one another. This is the first time that this arrangement has been observed in the solid state in bis(alkyne) complexes of this type.Key words: bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne), carbonyl, nitrile, diiodo, tungsten(II), crystal structures.
