The structure of the oxidation product of the diethylene dixanthate anion, diethylene tetraxanthogen (Cl12H1606S8), has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are tetragonal of space group Z41/acd with a 15.798(1), c 17.755(1) �, containing eight molecules per unit cell. The structure was solved using conventional Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by a full-matrix least-squares method to R 0.055 for the 817 independent statistically significant reflections collected by counter methods. The crystals are composed of discrete molecules held together by van der Waals forces. Each molecule, situated about a site of symmetry 222, has the novel 22-membered ring structure involving disulphide bonds of length 2.035(2) �. The planarity of the dithiocarbonate moiety and the relatively short carbon-to-oxygen and carbon-to-sulphur bond lengths correlate with extensive π-electron delocalization over the group.

The crystal and molecular structure of the n-hexane solvate of μ- bis(diphenylarsino)methane-hexacarbonyldi-μ-chloro-dirhenium(I), Re2(CO)6(Ph2AsCH2AsPh2)Cl2, has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the space group Pī with a 15.763(1), b 19.077(1), c 12.233(1) Ǻ and α 88.745(10), β 110.506(5), γ 92.900(6)�. The structure was solved by conventional Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by a block-diagonal least- squares method to R and Rw of 0.045 and 0.054, respectively, for 7061 independent statistically significant reflections collected by counter methods. The crystal consists of discrete molecules of the complex and n-hexane held together by van der Waals forces. There are two molecules of the dirhenium complex in the crystallographic asymmetric unit with the n-hexane molecule situated about a site of symmetry ī. The binuclear rhenium complex contains bridging halogen atoms and a bridging diarsine ligand. Three carbonyl ligands are also bonded to each rhenium atom, giving the metal atoms approximately octahedral environments. The average Re-As, Re-Cl, and Re-C bond lengths are 2.58, 2.52, and 1.89 Ǻ respectively.

The crystal structure of tetraethylammonium tris(O-ethylxanthato) tellurate(11), [Et4N] [Te(S2COEt)3], has been determined by single-crystal three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods. Crystals are monoclinic of space group P21/c with four cation-anion pairs per unit cell which has the dimensions a 8.121(1), b 18.858(2), c 19.260(2) � and β 105.22(2)�. The structure was solved by the normal Fourier methods and was refined with anisotropic thermal parameters by a full-matrix least-squares method converging with R and Rw values of 0.061 and 0.082 for the 2404 independent statistically significant reflections collected by counter methods. The tris(ethylxanthato)tellurate(11) anion has a novel five-coordinate pentagonal-planar structure with only two of the xanthato ligands bidentate and with the Te-S bond distances having values in the range 2.503(4)-3.059(3)�. The TeS5 atoms are coplanar, the maximum deviation from the plane being 0.122 �. This, together with the intra-planar S...S distances of 3.340-3.661 �, indicates that the ligand atoms of the pentagonal plane are not over-crowded. The geometry of the anion configuration can be explained in terms of the VSEPR theory using a pentagonal-bipyramidal arrangement of the seven electron pairs in the valence shell of the tellurium.

The crystal structure of the solvated complex Mn2(CO)5(dpm)2,CH2Cl3,C6H14 (where dpm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic, of space group Cc, with a 19.650(3), b 16.908(2), c 22.253(4) Ǻ and β 130.89(1)�, containing four molecules per unit cell. The structure, solved by conventional Patterson and Fourier methods, was refined by a least- squares method, using individual isotropic temperature factors, to R and Rw of 0.105 and 0.125 respectively, for 1893 independent statistically significant reflections collected by counter methods. The crystals are molecular, being composed of discrete molecules of complex and solvent. The principal feature of interest in the binuclear manganese complex is the presence of a carbonyl ligand simultaneously bonded to both manganese atoms in a manner quite different from the normal symmetrical bridging mode. This novel arrangement, which seems to involve a metal-carbonyl bond analogous to that found for many metal-olefin complexes, accounts for the anomalously low carbonyl stretching frequency observed at 1645 cm-1. The Mn-Mn distance is 2.934(6) Ǻ.

The crystal and molecular structures of bis (dicyclohexylphosphinodithioformato-S,P)M, M[S2CP-(C6Hl1)2]2 where M = Pt (1) and Pd (2), have been determined by single-crystal three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods. The isomorphous crystals are monoclinic, of space group P21/c with four molecules per unit cell which has dimensions for (1) a 14.732(4), b 15.11 8(4), c 16.000(3) � and β 120.90(2)� and for (2) a 14.721(2), b 15.142(2), c 15.986(2) � and β 120.80(1)�. The structures were solved by normal Fourier methods and were refined with anisotropic thermal parameters. A full-matrix least-squares method was used, involving 3454 and 5052 statistically significant reflections for (1) and (2) respectively with final R and Rw values of 0.058 and 0.055 for (1) and 0.038 and 0.039 for (2). The complexes are isostructural. The ligand coordinates in a bidentate manner to the central atom through the phosphorus atom and one of the sulfur atoms with the metal atom in a cis-planar environment.

ABSTRACTChalcogenide semiconductors have been deposited epitaxially from aqueous solutions either chemically or electrochemically at growth rates of up to 0.7 μmhr−1. After recalling the basic principles of these deposition processes, results are presented concerning chemically deposited CdS on InP, GaP and CuInSe2 substrates, electrodeposited CdTe on InP, and CdSAnP heterostructures. Characterisation of these structures by RHEED, TEM, HRTEM, and glazing angle X ray diffraction allows to analyse the effects of substrate orientation, polarity, lattice match plus the influence of temperature on epitaxial growth. These results are discussed in terms of self organisation and a site selective growth mechanisms due to the free enegy of formation of each compound.

Thermolysis of [8,8-(PMe2Ph)2-nido-8,7-PtCB9H11] in boiling toluene solution results in an elimination of the platinum centre and cluster closure to give the ten-vertex closo species [6-(PMe2Ph)-closo-1-CB9H9] in 85% yield as a colourles air stable solid. The product is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals (from hexane-dichloromethane) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 903.20(9), b = 1 481.86(11), c = 2 320.0(2) pm, β = 97.860(7)° and Z = 8, and the structure has been refined to R(Rw) = 0.045(0.051) for 3 281 observed reflections with Fo > 2.0σ(Fo). The clean high-yield elimination of a metal centre from a polyhedral metallaborane or metallaheteroborane species is very rare.

Some novel cobalt diphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized by reacting cobalt(II) chloride with (2-methoxyethyl)diphenylphosphine, (2-methoxyphenyl)diphenylphosphine, and 2-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-6-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine. Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were obtained for the first two complexes, and their crystal structure was determined. The novel compounds were then used in association with methylaluminoxane (MAO) for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene, and their behavior was compared with that exhibited in the polymerization of the same monomer by the systems CoCl2(PnPrPh2)2/MAO and CoCl2(PPh3)2/MAO. Some significant differences were observed depending on the MAO/Co ratio used, and a plausible interpretation for such a different behavior is proposed.

Abstract The condensation of 4,4’-dimethyldiphenylether with tellurium tetrachloride yielded 2,8-dimethyl-10,10-dichlorophenoxatellurine (3), which was characterized by X-ray diffraction. Unlike the parent phenoxatellurine (1) and the 10,10,-dichlorophenoxatellurine (2) showing butterfly conformations, 3 reveals a planar ring structure.

This study investigates the crystal chemistry of monazite (APO4, where A = Lanthanides = Ln, as well as Y, Th, U, Ca, and Pb) based on four samples from different localities using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron-probe microanalysis. The crystal structure of all four samples are well refined, as indicated by their refinement statistics. Relatively large unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7640(5), b = 6.9850(4), c = 6.4500(3) Å, β = 103.584(2)°, and V = 296.22(3) Å3) are obtained for a detrital monazite-Ce from Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Sm-rich monazite from Gunnison County, Colorado, USA, has smaller unit-cell parameters (a = 6.7010(4), b = 6.9080(4), c = 6.4300(4) Å, β = 103.817(3)°, and V = 289.04(3) Å3). The a, b, and c unit-cell parameters vary linearly with the unit-cell volume, V. The change in the a parameter is large (0.2 Å) and is related to the type of cations occupying the A site. The average <A-O> distances vary linearly with V, whereas the average <P-O> distances are nearly constant because the PO4 group is a rigid tetrahedron.

By reacting [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}2(µ,η1:1-P4)] (1) with in situ generated phosphenium ions [Ph2P][A] ([A]− = [OTf]− = [O3SCF3]−, [PF6]−), a mixture of two main products of the composition [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}2(µ,η1:1-P5(C6H5)2)][PF6] (2a and 3a) could be identified by extensive 31P NMR spectroscopic studies at 193 K. Compound 3a was also characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, showing the rarely observed bicyclo[2.1.0]pentaphosphapentane unit. At room temperature, the novel compound [{Cp‴Fe}(µ,η4:1-P5Ph2){Cp‴(CO)2Fe}][PF6] (4) is formed by decarbonylation. Reacting 1 with in situ generated diphenyl arsenium ions gives short-lived intermediates at 193 K which disproportionate at room temperature into tetraphenyldiarsine and [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}4(µ4,η1:1:1:1-P8)][OTf]2 (5) containing a tetracyclo[3.3.0.02,7.03,6]octaphosphaoctane ligand.
