The true identity of the diethyl ether adduct of tungsten(IV) chloride, WCl4(Et2O) x , has been in doubt since 1985. Initially postulated as the bis-adduct, WCl4(Et2O)2, questions arose when elemental analyses were more in line with a mono-ether adduct, viz. WCl4(Et2O). It was proposed that this was due to the thermal instability of the bis-adduct. Here, we report the room-temperature X-ray crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface characteristics of trans-tetrachloridobis(diethyl ether)tungsten(IV), trans-WCl4(Et2O)2 or trans-[WCl4(C4H10O)2]. The compound crystallizes, with half of the molecule in the asymmetric unit, in the centrosymmetric space group P21/n. The W—O distance is 2.070 (2) Å, while the W—Cl distances are 2.3586 (10) and 2.3554 (10) Å.

First reported in 1930, MoCl3O(Et2O)2 is a by-product of the reductive synthesis of MoCl4(OEt2)2 from MoCl5. We report herein the X-ray crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface characteristics of mer-MoCl3O(Et2O)2, or [MoCl3O(C4H10O)2]. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121. The molybdenyl (Mo=O) bond length is 1.694 (3) Å and the cis- and trans-Mo—O distances are 2.157 (3) and 2.304 (3) Å, respectively. Intermolecular Mo=O...H bonding is present in the lattice, with the shortest distance being 2.572 Å.

Using the published method of Wiedenbruch, bis(pentafluorophenyl)zinc, 1, was prepared from anhydrous ZnCl2 and 2 equiv. of LiC6F5 in diethyl ether. Base-free 1 was obtained in 60-65% yield by repeated distillation of the initially formed bis(diethyl) ether adduct of 1. The X-ray quality crystals of 1 were obtained from benzene solution. The molecular structure of 1 revealed a near linear geometry for the two-coordinate zinc center (C(1)-Zn-C(7) = 172.6(2)°), typical of monomeric ZnR2 derivatives. In the crystal structure, stacking interactions between C6F5 rings on adjacent molecules is a dominant motif, with ring centroid to ring centroid distances of 3.503 and 3.563 Å observed. A weak intermolecular C-F ...Zn interaction between F(2) and an adjacent zinc center, as judged by the close contact of 2.849(2) Å, also appears to be an important aspect of the crystal structure. Compound 1 is an effective but nonselective C6F5 transfer agent to BCl3; 1: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 11.902(2) Å, b = 7.732(2) Å, c = 13.735(2) Å, β = 110.58(1)°, V = 1183.4(4) Å3, Z = 4, R = 0.048, Rw = 0.069.Key words: organozinc complex, pentafluorophenyl transfer agent.

From X-ray analysis, the conclusions are drawn from averaged molecular informations. Thus, limitations are caused when analyzing systems whose symmetry is reduced due to interatomic interactions. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) directly images atomic scale surface electron density distribution, with a resolution up to fractions of Angstrom units. The crucial point is the correlation between the electron density distribution and the localization of individual atoms, which is reasonable in many cases. Thus, the use of STM images for crystal structure determination may be permitted. We tried to apply RuCl3 - a layered material with semiconductive properties - for such STM studies. From the X-ray analysis it has been assumed that α-form of this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (AICI3 type). The chlorine atoms form an almost undistorted cubic closed package while Ru occupies 2/3 of the octahedral holes in every second layer building up a plane hexagon net (graphite net). Idealizing the arrangement of the chlorines a hexagonal symmetry would be expected. X-ray structure determination of isotypic compounds e.g. IrBr3 leads only to averaged positions of the metal atoms as there exist extended stacking faults of the metal layers.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.
