The crystal structures of the 1 : 1 adducts of FeCl3 with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) (1) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (2), as recrystallized from nitromethane, have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by least squares to residuals of 0.038 and 0.032 for 1341 and 3968 'observed' reflections; the result for (2) is a redetermination. Crystals of (1) are orthorhombic, Pbnb, a 15.013(4), b 13.510(5), c 12.471(3) Ǻ, Z 4. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 15.823(5), b 11.021(5), c 8.200(3) Ǻ, α 80.27(3), β 76.78(3), γ 89.64(3)°, Z 2. Both complexes haw the stoichiometry (FeCl3)1(bpy,phen)1, but are formulated as cis-[Fe(bpy,phen)2Cl2] [FeCl4]; in both compounds, the Fe-N distance is c. 2.20, (trans to Cl), 2.1, Ǻ(cis to Cl), while Fe-Cl, c. 2.2, Ǻ, is short. The structure determinations of Fe2Cl6(phen,bpy)3 as [Fe(phen)2Cl2]+ [Fe(phen)Cl4]- (3) and [Fe(bpy)2Cl2]+ [Fe(bpy)Cl4]- (4) are also reported. Compound (3) (from acetonitrile solution) is triclinic, P1, a 16.502(5), b 11.857(3), c 10.653(3) Ǻ, α 84.92(2), β 72.66(2), γ 74.80(2)°, Z 2, and was refined to a residual of 0.034 for 5540 'observed' reflections. The cation geometry is similar to that of (2); in the anion, the two Fe-CI bonds trans to each other are long [2.377(1) and 2.365(1) Ǻ] while those trans to the Fe-N bonds are short [2.287(1) and 2.318(1) Ǻ]. Fe-N distances are 2.216(3) and 2.220(3) A. Compound (4) (as its nitromethane solvate) is also triclinic, P1, a 14.480(7), b 12.645(5), c 10.678(4) Ǻ, α 95.68(3), β 109.21(3), γ 9258(3)°, Z 2; a residual of 0.042 was obtained for 4962 'observed' reflections. Cation and anion metal geometries are similar to those of (3).

Following the suggestion made earlier, on the basis of solution spectroscopy, that a number of eriostyl/nitrobenzoate compounds form charge-transfer self-complexes, a number of these have been investigated structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods in order to ascertain the presence or otherwise of such interactions in the solid state. The substances thus studied were eriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (1), eriostyl p-nitrobenzoate (2), tetrahydroeriostyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (3), and eriostemyl 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (4);* structure determinations in all cases, although displaying the presence of strong charge-transfer interactions from the two moieties of each molecule, show that the interactions in the solid state are intermolecular in nature.

The crystal structures of [Cu(Pme3)4]X (X = Cl , Br, I) and of [M(PPh3)4] [PF6] (M = Cu, Ag) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K. The former compounds contain nearly tetrahedral [Cu(PMe3)4]+ ions on sites of m symmetry with mean Cu-P bond lengths of 2.270, 2.271 and 2.278 Ǻ for X = Cl , Br and I respectively. The latter compounds contain [M(PPh3)4]+ ions on sites of 3 symmetry. In the M =Ag complex the coordination environment is close to tetrahedral, but in the M =Cu complex the length of the axial Cu-P bond [2.465(2)Ǻ] is significantly shorter than that of the off-axis bonds [2.566(2)Ǻ]. Possible reasons for this are discussed.

Hitherto, phosphorus oxonitride (PON) could not be obtained in the form of single crystals and only powder diffraction experiments were feasible for structure studies. In the present work we have synthesized two polymorphs of phosphorus oxonitride, cristobalite-type (cri-PON) and coesite-type (coe-PON), in the form of single crystals and reinvestigated their crystal structures by means of in house and synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures ofcri-PON andcoe-PON are built from PO2N2tetrahedral units, each with a statistical distribution of oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The crystal structure of thecoe-PON phase has the space groupC2/cwith seven atomic sites in the asymmetric unit [two P and three (N,O) sites on general positions, one (N,O) site on an inversion centre and one (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis], while thecri-PON phase possesses tetragonalI-42dsymmetry with two independent atoms in the asymmetric unit [the P atom on a fourfold inversion axis and the (N,O) site on a twofold rotation axis]. In comparison with previous structure determinations from powder data, all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters, leading to higher precision in terms of bond lengths and angles.

The crystal structures of the title compounds, [Ni(OH2)4(en)] [SO4].2H2O, (1), and [Ni(OH2)4(bpy)]- [SO4].2H2O, (2), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by full matrix least-squares methods to residuals of 0.028,0.031 for 1852, 4323 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, C2/c, a 9.459(4), b 12.192(7), c 12.294(3) �, β 119.84(4)�, Z 4. In the cation, Ni-N is 2.061(2) �; Ni-O (trans to O, N respectively) are 2.106(2), 2.063(2) �. Instead of being enlarged above 90� as predicted from repulsion theory, the angle between the pair of oxygen atoms trans to nitrogen is diminished, being 87 14(7)�. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 11.476(5), b 9.351(5), c 7.793(4) �, α 77.63(4), β 83.52(3), γ87.40(4)�, Z 2. In the cation, Ni-N are both 2.063(2) �. Ni-O (trans to N, O respectively) are 2.060(2), 2.O42(2); 2.O80(2), 2�. The short Ni-O distance [2.042(2)�] is associated with the coordination of a trigonal water molecule.

The crystal structure of [Fe(bpy)3] [CI3FeOFeCI3] (1) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295 K, and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.058 for 2002 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/c, a 9.616(3), b 26.264(6), c 13.821(7) Ǻ, β 99.68(2)°, Z4. In the cation, Fe-N distances range from 1.956(9) to 1 .989(10) Ǻ; in the anion, Fe-Cl distances range from 2.196(5) to 2.225(5) Ǻ. Fe-O distances are 1.763(11) and 1.740(11) Ǻ, and the Fe-O-Fe angle is 148.9(7)°. Recrystallization of 'compound A' from methanolic aqueous solution yields crystals with stoichiometry [{cis-Fe(phen)2Cl}2O]Cl2.nH2O( n ≈ 4.5) as established by structure determination (hampered by serious disorder); R is 0.09 for 749 'observed' reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, Pcn2, a 18.05(1), b 13.83(1), c 10.481(6) Ǻ, Z 2. The Fe-N distances trans to each other are 2.12(3) and 2.13(3) Ǻ; Fe-N distances trans to Cl and O are 2.20(2) and 2.28(2) Ǻ, respectively. Fe-CI is 2.34(1) and Fe-O 1.787(6) A; Fe-O-Fe is 161(1)°. For crystals from aqueous solution, an isomorphous but larger unit cell is obtained [2754(7), cf. 2616(3) Ǻ3]; it is believed that this is a consequence of variable occupancy of the disordered solvent layers which lie parallel to bc between the ionic species.

Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 14.053(4), b 11.309(3), c 6.326(1) Ǻ, β 94.22(2)�, Z 2. Crystals of (2) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 8.885(12), 6 19.707(20), c 7.120(8) Ǻ, β 108.99(4)�, Z 2. In both (1) and (2), a dimeric complex cation is observed, a pair of cis coordination sites about the nickel in each case being occupied by the bridging chlorines; the latter are asymmetric (Ni-Cl, 2.461(3), 2.551(3)(1); 2.461(3), 2.512(3) Ǻ (2)).

Complexes (1) and (2) are also solvated but the nature of the solvation is complicated by disorder and less clearcut than in (3). In (1), Pd-P distances are 2.342(2), 2.347(2) � in a centrosymmetric molecule; in (2), Pt-P distances are 2.332(2), 2.335(2) �, while in (3), Pt-P distances are 2.230(2), 2.224(3) � and Pt-Cl are both 2.355(2) � [cf. 2.233(2), 2.226(2), (2.361(2), 2.357(2))� respectively for the previously studied palladium analogue].

Single crystal X-ray structure determinations have been executed for several title compounds of the mononuclear form [LMX2], namely [(bpy)ZnX2], X=Cl, Br; [(phen)ZnX2], X=Cl, Br, I (bpy=2,2′-bipyridine; phen=1,10-phenanthroline). Also reported are the crystal structures of ZnSO4/bpy/H2O (1:1:5) (≡ [(bpy)Zn(OH2)4](SO4)·H2O) and Zn(NO3)2/bpy/H2O (1:1:3) (≡ [(bpy)Zn(OH2)3(ONO2)](NO3)). The sulfate complex completes the array [LM(OH2)4]2+, L=bpy, phen, M=Zn, Cd, while the nitrate is the first nitrate example for [LM(OH2)3(OX)](+) (OX=ONO2, OSO3). In all examples of the sulfate and nitrate forms here and previously defined, the metal atoms are six-coordinate, with any anionic donors lying in axial coordination sites (i.e. M–O (quasi-) normal to the LM plane). The structures of [LHg(SCN)2] (L=phen, tpy) (tpy=2,2′:6′,2′-terpyridine), [(tpy)(CdBr2], and [Zn(tpy)2](NO3)2·2H2O are also recorded.
