A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of silver(I) 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoate/triphenyl-phosphine (AgL/PPh3) was recorded, showing it to be a binuclear centrosymmetric system with the silver atoms bridged by one of the carboxy oxygen atoms of each ligand, [(PPh3)Ag(μ-O)2Ag(PPh3)] as in the parent acetate; the phenolic oxygen, retaining its protonation, is hydrogen bonded within the ligand to the other feebly chelating carboxylate oxygen.

The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of silver(I) nitrate with triphenylstibine, AgNO3/SbPh3 (1 : 1), is recorded, being monoclinic, Cc,a 12·824(2), b 15·794(4),c 9·796(2) Å, β 117·50(1)°, Z= 4; conventional R on F was 0·030 for 2881 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) reflections. The complex is a one-dimensional polymer with bridging nitrate groups, resembling in this respect its phosphine and arsine analogues. The completion of this study, along with related species recorded in accompanying papers, means that full structural data are now available for the complete array AgNO3/EPh3 (1 : n), E = P, As, Sb, n = 1–4, with the one exception of E = Sb, n = 2.

Single-crystal room-temperature X-ray structure determinations of the title compounds have been carried out. The two compounds are isomorphous, and isomorphous with the previously determined iodide analogue, being monoclinic, P 21/c, a ≈ 10.0, b ≈ 14.9, c ≈ 7.8 Ǻ, β ≈ 92°, Z = 4 formula units; residuals were 0.037, 0.036 for 2197, 1654 'observed' reflections for X = Cl , Br respectively. As in the iodide, the complexes are infinite polymers, with successive bismuth atoms bridged by the two halides and one sulfur atom of the ligand , which also chelates each bismuth. The structure determination of C5H5NCONEt2]2 [Cl5Bi(NC5H5)], isostructural with its thiocarbamoyl analogue, is also recorded.

AbstractThis study presents the first crystal-structure determination of natural MgCO3·5H2O, mineral lansfordite, in comparison with previous structural works performed on synthetic analogues. A new prototype single-crystal X-ray diffractometer allowed us to measure an extremely small crystal (i.e. 0.020 mm × 0.010 mm × 0.005 mm) and refine anisotropically all non-hydrogen atoms in the structure and provide a robust hydrogen-bond arrangement. Our new data confirm that natural lansfordite can be stable for several months at room temperature, in contrast with previous works, which reported that such a mineral could be stable only below 10°C.

Recrystallization of an equimolar mixture of silver(I) perchlorate and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine ( terpy ) from acetonitrile solution yields the golden yellow crystalline adduct shown by a room-temperature single-crystal X-ray study to be [Ag3( terpy )4][( MeCN )Ag( terpy )](ClO4)4. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 21.48(1), b 14.525(7), c 13.506(8) Ǻ, α 68.50(4), β 80.71(4), γ 81.66(4)°, Z 2 formula units; R was 0.045 for 9681 'observed' reflections. The complex helical cation is quasi- centrosymmetric with a collinear Ag3 array. The environment of the central silver atom is planar four-coordinate, two short Ag-N distances [(2.198(5), 2.188(5)Ǻ] arising from the nitrogen atoms of outer rings of a pair of twisted terpy ligands ; the other two sites are occupied by the nitrogen atoms of the central terpy rings which bifurcate to the other silver atoms [Ag(central)-N(central) 2.624(5), 2.818(5)Ǻ; Ag(outer)-N(central) 2.704(4), 2.640(4)Ǻ], which are also coordinated by the outer ring nitrogen of the two ligands [Ag-N, 2.266(5), 2.304(4) Ǻ]. Coplanar with the latter, each outer silver atom has a further tridentate terpy coordinated [Ag-N(central) 2.362(4), 2.381(4)Ǻ; Ag-N(outer) 2.403(6)-2.573(5)Ǻ]. The [( MeCN )Ag( terpy )]+ species is also quasi-planar, Ag- NCMe being 2.174(7)Ǻ, opposed to the central ring nitrogen [2.331(5)Ǻ; Ag-N(outer) being 2.399(7), 2.433(7)Ǻ].

The synthesis and room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound are recorded. Crystals are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 14.43(2), b 18.39(1), c 23.64(3) Ǻ, β 123.16(7)°, Z = 4, isostructural with the recently described Fe3Ru5 analogue; R was 0.048 for 6892 'observed' data [I > 3σ(I)]. The cluster is one of the few containing separated carbide ligands within a polyhedral metal skeleton, consisting of an Ru5C square pyramid and an Ru6C octahedron sharing a triangular face, with two PPh2 groups bridging opposite Ru-Ru vectors in each polyhedron.

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound are described. Crystals are monoclinic, P 21, a 16.164(9), b 8.277(3), c 8.829(4) Ǻ, β 102.86(4)°, Z 2; 2666 independent 'observed' diffractometer data [I > 3σ(I)] were refined to a residual of 0.045. The cation is unusual amongst complexes of sarcophagine (3,6,10,13,16,19-hexaazabicyclo[6.6.6]icosane) cage amines in adopting a lel2ob conformation, seemingly in response to hydrogen bonding/crystal packing forces. In consequence, unlike the tetranitrate analogue in which Ni-N bond distances are dispersed over a narrow range (2.097(5)-2.119(5) Ǻ; mean 2.109 Ǻ], the coordination sphere is more distorted with one pair of Ni-N distances, cis to each other, being short at 2.081(5) and 2.086(5) Ǻ, while the other four are long, ranging from 2.116(5) to 2.135(5) Ǻ, the mean of this array being 2.111 Ǻ.

The possible nature of p-t-butyl-calix [6] arene complexes of lanthanide elements has been explored by determination of the single-crystal X-ray structure of a complex with a 1:2 europium/ ligand ratio, obtained from dimethylformamide (dmf ≡ Me2NCHO) solution. This complex is formulated as [ Eu (LH4)(Me2NCHO)6(OH)].LH6.~4Me2NCHO (LH6 = p-t-butyl-calix [6] arene) on the basis of the structure determination. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a 36.11(3), b 23.35(2), c 21.85(2)Ǻ, β 97.46(6)°, Z = 4 formula units; R was 0.11 for 8488 'observed' reflections. The complex is remarkable in that the only interaction of either of the two calixarene ligands (one presumably doubly or triply deprotonated ) with the eight-coordinate europium atom is by way of one behaving as monodentate, the other having no interaction. Eu -O( calix ) is 2.35(1) Ǻ; Eu -O( dmf )6 range from 2.38(2) to 2.49(2)Ǻ, and Eu -O(H ½?) is 2.49(2)Ǻ.

The absolute configuration of the title compound has been established from a single-crystal room temperature X-ray structure determination of its dibromo derivative, C24H28Br2O8. Crystals of the latter are orthorhombic, space group P21212, a l6.696(5), b l5.660(3), c 4.713(1) �, Z 2; 1452 independent 'observed' reflections yielded R 0.033 following full-matrix least-squares refinement. The molecule lies on a crystallographic 2 axis. The occurrence of lignans in Eremophila species is summarized.

A room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the 1 : 1 adduct of 1,10-phenanthroline (`phen") with lutetium(III) acetate (as its dihydrate) is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, P 1, a 12·430(8), b 10·681(4), c 8·134(8) Å, α 74·76(6), β 84·81(7), γ 74·29(4)°, Z = 2 f.u.; conventional R on |F| was 0·031 for No 3939 independent ‘observed’ (I > 3σ(I)) diffractometer reflections. The complex [(N,N′-phen)(O,O′-ac)Lu(O-ac-O′)4Lu(O,O′-ac)(N,N′-phen)].2H2O is binuclear, the lutetium being eight-coordinated by bidentate phen and ac (acetate) ligands and four oxygen atoms from the bridging acetate ligands. Also recorded is the structural characterization of 1 : 1 Lu(ac)2Cl/tpy (tpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) as its pentahydrate; this complex is triclinic, P 1, a 12·410(3), b 11·559(4), c 9·976(4) Å, α 85·19(3), β 70·30(3), γ 65·70(2)°, Z = 2, R 0·049 for No 4717. The complex is shown to be [(tpy)(H2O)2Lu(O2CCH3)2]Cl.3H2O, with the lutetium nine-coordinated by tridentate tpy, a pair of bidentate acetates and two unidentate water molecules, with the chloride uncoordinated. Structural characterizations of a number of 1 : 1 adducts of variously solvated lanthanoid(III) trichloroacetates, Ln(tca)3, with tpy are also recorded. Yb(tca)3/tpy/MeOH (1 : 1 : 1) is triclinic, P 1, a 14·016(4), b 12·951(5), c 9·604(3) Å, α 73·89(3), β 76·56(3), γ 69·20(3)°, Z = 2 f.u., R 0·057 for No 4465. The complex is mononuclear, the eight-coordinate N3YbO5 array containing tridentate tpy, unidentate methanol, and two unidentate and one bidentate chelating anions. 1 : 1 : 1 Ln(tca)3/tpy/OH2 adducts for Ln = La(-)Nd are triclinic, P 1, a ≈ 13·4, b ≈ 12·47, c ≈ 11·5 Å, α ≈ 114·5, β ≈ 89·9, γ ≈ 115·6°, Z = 1 binuclear array, R 0·061, 0·071 for No 3240, 2394. The two Ln atoms are O,O′-bridged by a pair of anions, the N3LnO6 nine-coordinate lanthanoid environment being completed by a tridentate tpy, one water, one unidentate and one bidentate anion. A 1 : 1 : 1 Lu(tca)3/tpy/OH2 array, by contrast, is triclinic, P 1, a 16·569(8), b 14·815(5), c 14·375(6) Å, α 62·05(3), β 81·35(4), γ 77·97(3)°, Z = 4 ‘mononuclear’ f.u., R 0·067 for No 6710. The array, remarkably, contains species of both of the above types in a 1 : 2 binuclear-to-mononuclear ratio, but with water replacing methanol in the mononuclear array.
