The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by the heavy atom method. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with unit cell dimensions a = 22.795(3) Å, b = 17.518(2) Å, c = 12.396(3) Å, Z = 8; R = 0.0409 for 1527 unique "observed" reflections. The structure is disordered, with each halogen site (X) occupied by 75% Br, 25% I. The molecule consists of two X2(tmen)In units (tmen = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethanediamine) with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, joined by an In—In bond 2.775(2) Å in length.

Abstract The title compounds [R2NH2][C2O4SnMe3](R=i-Bu, Cy), in which tin atoms adopt a distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration, have been prepared and submitted to an X-ray diffraction study. These compounds have been obtained from the reaction of (Cy2NH2)2C2O4·H2O or (i-Bu2NH2)2C2O4 with SnMe3Cl. In both [R2NH2][C2O4SnMe3] compounds, the trans complex has an almost regular trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. The SnMe3 residues are connected as a chain with bridging oxalate anions in a trans-SnC3O2 framework, the oxygen atoms being in axial positions. The cations connect linear adjacent chains through NH…O hydrogen bonds giving layered structures.

Abstract N-(Trichlorogermyl)trimethylphosphinimine crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ with a = 12.49(2), b = 12.54(3), c = 6.66(1) Å,a = 100.96(10),β = 91.45(14), γ = 102.77(15)°. The structure was solved by Patterson and difference syntheses and refined to R = 0.063 for 2867 independent reflections. In the unit cell there are two symmetry related monomers containing tetracoordinated Ge and one crystallographically centrosymmetric dimer with a planar four-membered [GeN]2 ring exhibiting trigonal-bipyramidal pentacoordinated Ge and trigonal N. Significant differences are observed in the bond lengths from pentacoordinated Ge to its equatorial and axial ligands: Ge-Neq 1.837(7), Ge-Nax 1.972(7), Ge-Cleq 2.176(2) and 2.170(2), Ge-Clax 2.345(3) Å. The Ge-Neq distance is similar to that observed in tetracoordinated derivatives [1.81-1.87 Å], whereas the Ge-Nax distance is 0.22 Å shorter than that observed for the axial N→Ge coordinate bond in hitherto known pentacoordinated derivatives [2.19-2.24 Å]. The very short Ge-N bond length of 1.737(8) Å in the monomer which is 0.07 Å shorter than in other tetracoordinated derivatives may be indicative of the involvement of a (p→d)π component.

The preparation and physical properties of octahedral and trigonal bipyramidal complexes incorporating the tris-chelating ligands [Me2Ga(N2C5H7)(OCH2CH2NR′2)]− (R′ = H or Me) are described. Crystals of [dimethylbis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)gallato (N(2),N′(2))][dimethyl (3,5 - dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl) (N,N-dimethylethanolamino(gallato (N(2), O, N(3))]nickel(II) are triclinic, a = 20.8562(11), b = 9.1536(4), c = 8.2798(4) Å, α = 100.204(3), β = 85.513(4), γ = 101.989(3)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.048 and Rw = 0.078 for 5508 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The coordination about the Ni atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal with the two nitrogen atoms from the Me2Ga(N2C5H7)2 ligand occupying equatorial positions. The tridentate Me2Ga(N2C5H7)(OCH2CH2NMe2) ligand is meridionally coordinated with the oxygen in the equatorial and the two nitrogens in the axial positions. Important bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: Ni—N(eq), 2.005(3) and 2.006(3), Ni—O, 1.993(3), Ni—N(pz—ax), 2.072(3), Ni—N(amino), 2.229(3), Ga—O, 1.913(3), Ga—N, 1.971(3)–1.989(3), and Ga—C, 1.961(10)–1.986(6) Å.

The synthesis and crystal and molecular structure of the chloroperchloratotri(o-tolyl)phosphinemercury(II) dimer are reported. The compound [HgP(o-tolyl)3ClClO4]2 belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pbca [Formula: see text] with a = 12.218(2), b = 13.814(2), c = 26.074(3) Å, and Z = 4. The structure was refined to a final R of 0.046 for 2584 reflections measured by diffractometer. The crystal structure consists of discrete centrosymmetric dimeric molecules of [HgP(o-tolyl)3ClClO4]2 separated by normal van der Waals distances. The unique mercury atom forms two strong bonds (Hg—P 2.395(3), Hg—Cl(1) 2.332(4) Å) which deviate from linearity (P—Hg—Cl 164.1(1)°) and two weak bonds (Hg—O(1) 2.73(2) to the perchlorato group, Hg—Cl(1 *) 3.109(4) Å linking the mercury atoms about centers of symmetry). The four-fold coordination geometry about each mercury can be described as trigonal bipyramidal with the phosphorus and Cl(1) axial, and one equatorial site unoccupied. Intramolecular interactions are discussed with the assistance of cone angle calculations and a ligand profile for P(o-tolyl)3 (θ = 198°). Vibrational and 31P nmr spectra data are also presented for [HgP(o-tolyl)3ClClO4]2.

The crystal and molecular structure of trans-chloromethylbis(trimethylarsine)platinum(II) hexafluorobut-2-yne has been determined from three dimensional X-ray diffraction data recorded by diffractometric methods. The structure has been refined by full-matrix least-squares methods on F using 1156 reflections to an agreement factor R = 0.077. The crystals are monoclinic, space group [Formula: see text] with a = 6.803(8), b = 14.93(2), c = 20.20(2) Å, β = 104.9(1)°, and Z = 4. The coordination of the platinum atom is trigonal bipyramidal, with the acetylene considered a monodentate ligand, and the two trimethylarsine ligands occupying the equatorial plane. The chlorine atom and the methyl ligand occupy the apical positions, with Pt—Cl and Pt—C distances of 2.47(1) Å and 2.10(4) Å, respectively. The long Pt—Cl bond length indicates the strong trans-influence of the methyl ligand. The observed C—C bond length of 1.32(4) Å in the acetylene ligand is lengthened from the value of 1.22(9) Å measured in the free ligand. The geometry of the coordinated ligand is discussed in terms of the bonding scheme proposed by Greaves etal.
