The crystal structures of racemic bis [α-(9-anthryl)] ether and its meso form have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by least squares to residuals of 0.053 and 0.041 for 1868 and 3568 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. 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°.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C15H15IO5, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at 295 K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.04 (2210 ?observed? reflections). Crystals are monoclinic, P21/c, a 10.294(5), b 18.868(9), c 7.549(6) Ǻ, β 90.29(5)�, Z 4. The molecular geometry apart from the iodine environment is as expected; the crystal packing is such that the iodine lies close to a symmetry-related neighbour at I...I 4.148(2) Ǻ and may account for the observed facile elimination of iodine from the solid on heating to 120�C.

The molecular structures of di (9-anthryl) ethanedione (9,9′-anthril) and those of four 1,2-diketones derived from 9,9′-anthril by way of intramolecular cycloadditions were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Two crystal modifications of 9,9′-anthril were available and found to differ in the dihedral angles (43.9 and 178.3°) about the 1,2-dicarbonyl moiety. The 1,2-dicarbonyl group of the cyclobutanedione moiety in the anthril 4π+4π cyclomer is associated with a dihedral angle of 2.6°. In the anthril isomer derived by 4π+2π cycloaddition, an exceptionally long single bond is indicative of molecular strain. The molecular structures of a keto enol and of a novel 1,2-diketo substituted triptycene, both obtained from the 4π+2π cyclomer by acid-catalysed rearrangement and dehydrogenation, respectively, were established. The topological and spectroscopic differences between the keto en01 and its 1,2-diketo precursor are discussed.

The crystal structure of dipyrrolidylthiuram disulfide has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques at 295 K. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, unit cell a 13.835(3), b 10.422(2), c 9.427(3) �, β 97.08(2)� and Z 4. Automatic diffractometry has provided significant Bragg intensities for 1402 independent reflections, and the structure has been refined by least-squares methods to R 0.037. The structure consists of discrete C4H8NC(S)S2C(S)NC4H8 molecules. Half of each molecule is crystallographically unique with distances S-S 2.002(1), and C-S 1.804(2) and 1.645(2) �. The dihedral angle between planar C2NC(S)S portions is 87.9�. The relevance of the derived structural parameters to the question of why the tris(pyrrolidine-1-carbodithioato)iron(III) complex is, uniquely, high spin is discussed.

The crystal structures of the salicylideneaniline derivatives N-salicylidene-4-tert-butyl-aniline (1), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-methoxyaniline (2), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-bromoaniline (3), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-chloroaniline (4), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-4-bromoaniline (5), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-aniline (6), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-4-carboxyaniline (7) and N-salicylidene-2-chloroaniline (8) were analyzed by X-ray diffraction analysis at ambient temperature to investigate the relationship between their photochromic properties and molecular structures. A clear correlation between photochromism and the dihedral angle of the two benzene rings in the salicylideneaniline derivatives was observed. Crystals with dihedral angles less than 20° were non-photochromic, whereas those with dihedral angles greater than 30° were photochromic. Crystals with dihedral angles between 20 and 30° could be either photochromic or non-photochromic. Inhibition of the pedal motion by intra- or intermolecular steric hindrance, however, can result in non-photochromic behaviour even if the dihedral angle is larger than 30°.

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.
