X-ray crystallographic analysis has revealed that the light-sensitive form (A) and the light-stable form (A') of tetrabenzoylethylene are not valence tautomers but are two crystalline modifications of the same substance. The difference in the stability of these forms to light appears to be a consequence of their different molecular conformations and packing in the solid state. The molecular conformation of the A form is represented by (8) and that of the A' form by (9). The related tetraacetylethylene has the conformation (10) in the solid state. X-ray crystallographic analysis has also revealed that the photolysis product (B) of tetrabenzoylethylene is 4-phenoxy-3,4,6-triphenyl-1H,4H-furo[3,4-c]-furan-1-one (11). ��� The crystal structures of (8), (9), (10) and (11) were determined by X-ray diffraction: diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by least-squares techniques to residuals of 0.064 (2161 'observed' reflections) for (8), 0.057 (1310) for (9), 0.049 (1295) for (10) and 0.061 (1639) for (11). Crystals of (8) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 8.775(5), b 17.352(9), c 30.985(8)Ǻ, β 93.01(3)°, Z 8. Crystals of (9) which contain carbon disulfide are monoclinic, A2/a, a 21.21(2), b 6.181(4), c 20.35(2) Ǻ, β 102.77(7)°, Z 4. Crystals of (10) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 7.540(2), b 4.392(2), c 14.770(4) Ǻ, β 96.29(2)°, Z 2. Crystals of (11) are monoclinic, P1/n, a 14.820(4), b 15.000(3), c 10.819(4)Ǻ, β 106.02(2)°, Z 4.

The solid-state structures of the Burgess reagent, and its analogous ethyl ester reveal structures indicative of triethylamine solvated sulfonyl imides rather than the more commonly depicted triethylammonium sulfonyl amidate. The existence of a reversibly formed hydrate of Burgess reagent is not supported by present studies, but rather a hydrosylate that does not revert to the Burgess reagent with gentle warming under vacuum was isolated and characterised. Structures of the hydrosylates from both the methyl- and ethyl-amidate esters were determined from X-ray crystallographic analysis and are reported. The crystal structures of the Burgess inner salts exhibit geometries at the sulfur atoms that are intermediate between a planar O2S=NCO2R unit and tetrahedral 4-coordinate sulfur centres that would be expected from a strong single (dative) bond between the triethylamine nitrogen and sulfur. The hydrolysed ammonium sulfaminates are water soluble intermolecular salts composed of triethylammonium ions, Et3NH+, and N-(alkoxycarbonyl)sulfaminate, O(−)SO2NHCO2R {R=CH3 or C2H5}.

In order to define molecular conformations, the crystal structures of two crystalline phases of 1,2- bis(10-acetoxy-9-anthryl)ethane have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K. Both phases are monoclinic, P21/c. For the 'α'-phase, a 7.609(2), b 14.469(3), c 11.358(3) � β, 96.39(2)�, Z 2. The final residual was 0.034 for 1341 'observed' reflections; the molecule is centrosymmetric about a crystallographic inversion centre. For the 'β'-phase, a 31.264(15), b 5.248(3), c 15.718(6) �,β 97.84(3)�, Z 4, the final residual was 0.052 for 972 'observed' reflections. In this structure two independent, centrosymmetric molecules are found. In both α- and β-form, the molecular conformation is thus 'stretched' rather than 'eclipsed'. The packing patterns of the two modifications have been correlated with their crystal luminescence properties.

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.

Abstract K3NO3 and RbsNO3 were prepared by solid state reaction of equimolar mixtures of K2O/KNO2 and Rb20/RbN02, respectively. According to X-ray powder photographs their crystal structures are derived from the perovs-kite structure. K3NO3 is isostructural with Na3NO3 (a = 521.7 pm, Z = 1), Rb3NO3 represents a tetragonally distorted variant with a = 770.5, c = 550.8 pm and Z = 2.

The β_1^{\prime}-2 crystal structures of a series of mixed-chain saturated and trans-mono-unsaturated triacylglycerols containing palmitoyl, stearoyl and elaidoyl acyl chains have been solved from high-resolution powder diffraction data, from synchrotron as well as laboratory X-ray sources. The structures crystallized in the space group I2 with two independent molecules forming a dimer in the asymmetric unit, and packed in double-chain length layers. Unlike the corresponding β-2 structures the solved β_1^{\prime}-2 structures have different molecular conformations for the symmetric and the asymmetric mixed triacylglycerols, both with the sn-2 chain in a leg position of the chair-shaped conformation. A transformation to the β-2 structure with the sn-2 chain in the back position is complicated and unlikely to take place in the solid state. A novel β′-2 polymorph of PSS has been crystallized and its structure has been solved. The melting point (239 K) of this so-called β_0^{\prime}-2 polymorph is 2 K above that of the β_1^{\prime}-2 polymorph and almost equal to that of the β-2 polymorph of PSS. The difference in packing of the β_0^{\prime}-2 versus β_1^{\prime}-2 structure explains the slow β_1^{\prime}-2 to β_0^{\prime}-2 phase transition. The transition is strikingly similar to the β2-3 to β1-3 transition in cis-mono-unsaturated triacylglycerols.

The crystal and molecular structures of 2-methyl-1-methylamino-anthraquinone (I) and 1-methylphenylamino-anthraquinone (II) were studied by the X-ray single-crystal diffraction and the visible spectra of crystalline specimens and their solutions were recorded. The molecule I is closely planar, whereas in the molecule II the amino group is 58° rotated out of the plane of the anthraquinone skeleton. In both structures the molecules pack in stacks. The comparison of experimental and calculated (on the DFT and AM1 levels) molecular structures, together with the comparison of experimental and INDO/S-calculated electronic spectra, give the evidence that molecular conformations (especially for II) change upon transfer from the solid state to solutions, and the π-delocalisation throughout the whole molecule enhances in the solid state.

The complete 31P NMR chemical shift tensors for 22 inorganic phosphates obtained from ab initio computation are found to correspond closely to experimentally obtained parameters. The cases where correspondence is significantly improved upon geometry optimization point to the crystal structures requiring correction.

The title compound, 1-[N-methyl-N-(phenyl)amino]-3-(4-methylphenyl)thiourea (1), was synthesized by the reaction of 1-methyl-1-phenyl hydrazine and 4-tolyl isothiocyanate, and was characterized by spectroscopy (1H and 13C{1H} NMR, IR, and UV), elemental analysis as well as by single crystal X-ray crystallography. In the solid state, the molecule exists as the thioamide tautomer and features an anti-disposition of the thioamide–N–H atoms; an intramolecular N–H⋯N hydrogen bond is noted. The molecular conformation resembles that of the letter L. In the molecular packing, thioamide-N1–H⋯S1(thione) hydrogen bonds lead to centrosymmetric eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons. The dimers are assembled into a supramolecular layer in the bc-plane by phenyl- and methyl-C–H⋯π(phenyl) interactions.
