Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of the parent isoxindigo (1), C16H8O4, together with those of derivatives substituted in both benzene rings with ( i ) t-butyl groups in the 5- and 7-positions [derivative (2)] and (ii) methoxy and t-butyl groups in the 5- and 7- positions respectively [two polymorphs, (3α,8)] have been determined in order to examine the possibility of distortion of molecular planarity by substituent steric effects, and the spectroscopic consequences thereof. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 17.69(1), b 5.690(3), c5.693(3)Ǻ, β 100.52(5)�, Z 2; after least-squares refinement, a residual R 0.067 was obtained for No 385 ?observed? Independent reflections. For (2), C32H40O4, crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a 16.402(8), b 12.313(6), c 13.913(8)Ǻ, β 96.75(4)�, Z4; R 0.088 for No 1261. For (3), C26H28O6 (α-form), crystals are orthorhombic, Pcab , a 10.449(4), b 12.477(4), c 17.825(6)Ǻ, Z 4; R 0.058 for No 959; in the case of the β-form of (3), crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a 6.828(2), b 15.464(3), c 10.770(3) Ǻ, β 98.58(4)�, Z 2. In (1) and (3α,β), the molecules all lie disposed about crystallographically imposed symmetry elements, with one-half of the molecule, with a substantially planar fused-ring skeleton, comprising the asymmetric unit. In (2), the full molecule is the asymmetric unit; the fused-ring skeletons are substantially planar also, but the molecule exhibits a substantial twist about the bond connecting the two halves, with an interplanar dlhedral angle of 16.8°. This is ascribed to the steric effect of the large and more numerous t-butyl substituents.

The title compound, C22H17Cl2NO2, has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal structure, the two benzene rings and the pyridyl group lie in a propeller arrangement around the central C atom, thereby minimizing the steric effects between these rings.

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.

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).

A variety of approaches towards the synthesis of lincosamine, a derived portion of the antibiotic lincomycin , are reported. Initial approaches involved the intramolecular delivery of a nitrogen atom ( trichloroacetimidate , trichloroacetylcarbamate , carbamate, 2-amino-2- phenylacetate ) attached to O4 onto C6 of a 6,7-anhydrooctoside. Later approaches, albeit more direct but again largely unsuccessful, involved the Sharpless titanium(IV)-mediated nucleophilic opening of a suitable 6,7-anhydrooctose, and the Sharpless oxyamination and the aziridination of suitable octenoses . As an aid to the structure elucidation of several compounds encountered in this work, single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for methyl 6,7-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-8-deoxy-α-D-threo-D-galacto-octopyranoside , methyl 6,7-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-8-deoxy-α-D-threo-D-gluco-octopyranoside and 7-azido-7-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-β-L-erythro-Dgalacto-octose.

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined at 295 K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.062. Crystals are monoclinic, P2/c, a 19.102(8), b 8.117(4), c 16.610(8) Ǻ, β 111.90(3)°, Z. Unlike the tris(α-oxyimino ketonato)iron(II) complexes which are fac, the present derivative is based upon substitution of the two picoline moieties into a mer derivative, trans to the nitrogen atoms of the chelate ligands. <Fe- N(picoline)> is 2.020; <Fe-N, O(chelate)> 1.880, 1.952 Ǻ.

Crystals of the racemate are orthorhombic, Pcab, a 23.07(1), b 19.85(2), c 10.241(8) Ǻ, Z 8. Crystals of the meso form are triclinic, Pī , a 19.032(12), b 14.207(11), c 9.451(8) Ǻ, α 79.46(6), β 89.68(6), γ 68.97(5)°, Z 4. In the racemate , the dihedral angle between the methyl groups along the ether bonds is 12°, and the short axes of the anthracene moieties lie at an angle of about 120°. In the meso compound, for the two molecules the dihedral angles between the methyl groups along the ether bonds are 90 and 93°, the angle between the two anthracene moieties is 90°, and the interplanar angles between the partly overlapping aromatic systems are 46 and 43°.
