The compound [C7H7][C5(CO2Me)5] forms very long but thin orange-red needles, which, in contrast to a previous report, form orange-red to deep red solutions in polar solvents. Decolorization of an acetone solution occurs on standing, but the white compound so obtained has not been identified. Single-crystal X-ray structure determination at 295 K (R = 0.078 for 1030 'observed' reflections) shows the presence of an infinite sandwich structure comprising columns of interleaved anion and cation planes normal to b. Crystals are rthorhombic, Pbcn , a 18.206(6), b 13.954(12), c 17.243(5)Ǻ, Z 8.

Single crystals of Ca11N6[CN2]2 (dark red needles, tetragonal, P42/mnm (no. 136), a = 1456.22(5), and c = 361.86(2) pm, Z = 2), Ca4N2[CN2] (transparent yellow needles, orthorhombic, Pnma (no. 62), a = 1146.51(11), b = 358.33(4), and c = 1385.77(13) pm, Z = 4) and Ca[CN2] (transparent, colorless, triangular plates, rhombohedral, R3̅m (no. 166), a = 369.00(3), and c = 1477.5(3) pm, Z = 3) were obtained by the reaction of Na2[CN2], CaCl2 and Ca3N2 (if demanded by stoichiometry) in arc-welded Ta ampoules at temperatures between 1200 - 1400 K. Their crystal structures were re-determined by means of single crystal X-ray structure analyses. Additionally, the Raman spectra were recorded on these same single crystals, whereas the IR spectra were obtained with the KBr pellet technique. The title compounds exhibit characteristic features for carbodiimide units with D∞h symmetry (d(C-N) = 121.7 - 123.8 pm and ∡ (N-C-N) = 180°). The vibrational frequencies of these units are in the expected range (Ca11N6[CN2]2: νs = 1230, νs = 2008; δ = 673/645/624 cm−1; Ca4N2[CN2]: νs = 1230, νs = 1986; δ = 672/647 cm−1; Ca[CN2]: νs = 1274, νs = 2031, δ = 668 cm−1). The structural results are more precise than the previously reported data, and with the newly attained Raman spectrum of Ca11N6[CN2]2 we correct data reported earlier.

Recent advances in radical-based catalytic reactions have created an increasing demand for the understanding of their mechanistic underpinnings. Structural elucidation of transient reactive intermediates via diffraction techniques, though rarely possible, is one of the most decisive ways to support such mechanistic hypotheses. Here we present the isolation, structural elucidation, and theoretical analysis of an electrochemically generated and catalytically relevant charge-transfer species formed between the azidyl radical and (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO). The unusual bent N–N–N angle and the pancake bonding between these two fragments highlight the weak bonding interactions present in this complex. This X-ray structure validates computational predictions as well as mechanistic proposals of TEMPO-mediated radical azidation reactions.

Hydrolysis of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone in aqueous ethanol gives the deep-red coloured ammonium salt of a monocyano-dichloro-monohydroxy-benzoquinone which crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41 /a, a 20.832(5), c 8.618(2) �, Z 16. Single-crystal X-ray structure determination (R 0.036 for 1185 'observed' reflections) show the presence of ammonium cations forming hydrogen bonds in the lattice alternatingly with the tautomeric anion of 2-cyano-5,6-dichloro-3-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone and 3-cyano-5,6-dichloro-4-hydroxy-1,2-benzoquinone.

Abstract Crystals of K2Pt(CN)4Br2, K2Pt(CN)4I2 and K2Pt(CN)4Cl2 ·2H2O were grown, and their crystal structures have been determined from single crystal data. The structure of K2Pt(CN)4Cl2 has been determined and refined from X-ray powder data. All compounds crystallize monoclinicly (P21/c; Z = 2), and K2Pt(CN)4X2 with X = Cl, Br, I are isostructural. K2Pt(CN)4Cl2: a = 708.48(2); b = 903.28(3); c = 853.13(3) pm; β = 106.370(2)°; Rp = 0.064 (N(hkl) = 423). K2Pt(CN)4Br2: a = 716.0(1); b = 899.1(1); c = 867.9(1) pm; β = 106.85(1)°; R(F)N′ = 0.026 (N’(hkl) = 3757). K2Pt(CN)4I2: a = 724.8(1); b = 914.5(1); c = 892.1(1) pm; β = 107.56(1)°; R(F)N′ = 0.025 (N’(hkl) = 2197).

The crystal structure of the title compound, CZOH3803 [compound (1) in ref.'], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.045 for 954 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, P2', a 9.281(2), b 17.798(6), c 6.417(1) A, B 93.81(3)", Z 2. The structure determination establishes the relative configuration of the chiral centres within the 14-membered macrocyclic ring and shows the double bond to have the unusual (Z) configuration.

Rhodium- catalysed reactions of o- or p- cyano-N-allylanilines with H2/CO give N- arylpyrrolidine aldehydes resulting from a double hydroformylation sequence. In contrast reactions of o- or p-methyl-N-allylanilines or N- allylaniline itself with H2/CO give ' dimeric ' compounds resulting from self-condensation reactions of an initially formed hydroformylation product together with varying amounts of the double hydroformylation product. Similar reactions of o-cyano-N-but-3-enylanilines give low yields of double hydroformylation products and major products arising from hydrogenation or cross coupling of intermediate enamines. The structure of one of these products, N-2-cyanophenyl-5-(N′-2-cyanophenyl-3-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (17) (IUPAC name: 2-[5-{1-(2-cyanophenyl)-3-methylpyrrolidin-2-yl}-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridin-1-yl] benzonitrile ) was confirmed by an X-ray single-crystal structure determination.
