The crystal structures of the two title compounds, cis-[Co(en)2(NH3) Cl ] Cl2, (1), and cis-[Co(en)2( py ) Cl ]Cl2.H2O, (2), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to residuals of 0.025 and 0.036 for 1744 and 3243 independent 'observed' reflections. Crystals of (1) and (2) are monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4. For (1), a 7.499(1), b 11.986(2), c 14.325(3)Ǻ, β 111.45(1)°; for (2), a 7.617(2), b 12.866(3), c 16.561(5), β 97.33(2)°. Both complexes are racemates with cation conformations Δ( δ,λ ), (1), and Δ( λ,λ ), (2). The structure determinations suggest that variations in the rate of base hydrolysis of these complexes and their imidazole analogue may be correlated with the degree of steric crowding associated with the introduction of the monodentate nitrogen base into the coordination sphere.

The syntheses, in ethereal solvents, of the complexes of 15-crown-5 and cyclohexano-15-crown-5 with lithium, sodium, and potassium phenoxide are described. The two macrocycles form complexes with lithium and sodium phenoxide with host:guest ratios of 1:2. Potassium phenoxide, however, was complexed by the two macrocycles to give products with macrocycle:salt ratios of 1:1. Crystals of 15-crown-5•2LiOPh were obtained for X-ray diffraction structure determinations. In fact, the crystal structures of two co-crystallizing polymorphs of this complex (1a and 1b) have been determined. Polymorph 1a crystallizes in space group [Formula: see text] with a = 11.386(4), b = 11.901(4), c = 10.654(4) Å, α = 106.53(3), β = 112.60(3), γ = 106.52(3)°, and Z = 2. Polymorph 1b crystallizes in space group P21/n with a = 15.355(4), b = 11.642(2), c = 13.595(6) Å, β = 104.56(3)°, and Z = 4. Both structures were solved by direct methods, and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to residuals, R, of 0.053 and 0.055 for polymorphs 1a and 1b, respectively. The structures of the two polymorphs differ only in the orientation of the phenoxides. The structures show a dimer, (15-crown-5•2LiOPh)2, which consists of an aggregate of four lithium phenoxide molecules complexed by two 15-crown-5 macrocycles. The two lithiums of each monomeric unit of this dimer have different crystallographic and chemical environments. One lithium is coordinated to all five oxygens of the macrocycle and to one of the phenoxide oxygens while the other lithium is coordinated to only one oxygen of the macrocycle and to three phenoxide oxygens.

The complexes Re(CO)5ClO4, Re(CO)5PO2F2, L2(CO)3Re(OClO3) and L2(CO)3Re(PO2F2), where L2 = 2,2?-bipyridyl (bpy), have been synthesized by bromide abstraction reactions from the respective rhenium carbonyl bromide precursors. The complexes were characterized by infrared and mass spectroscopy. The crystal structure of (bpy)(CO)3Re(PO2F2) has been determined from X-ray diffraction data by the heavy-atom technique. The crystals are triclinic, space group Pī with a 8.620(3), b 15.912(5), c 6.466(3) Ǻ, α 102.08(8), β 83.29(8), γ 95.08(4) and Z 2. The structure has been refined by full-matrix least-squares from 2829 reflections to R = 0.084, Rw = 0.088. The coordination geometry about rhenium is that of a distorted octahedron. Difluorophosphate coordinates to the metal centre by one of its oxygen atoms. Formation of the difluorophosphate by hydrolysis of hexafluorophosphate was shown by 31P n.m.r. spectra.

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.

(NH4)2TeBr6 and Cs2TeBr6 crystals have the cubic K2PtCl6 structure with space group: [Formula: see text] with a0 = 10.728 ± 0.003 Å and 10.918 ± 0.002 Å respectively. The positional coordinate of the bromine atom, and the anisotropic temperature factors of all atoms in the unit cell, have been refined for both crystals by a full matrix least-squares analysis of the three dimensional X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.08). The Te—Br distance, corrected for probable thermal motions of atoms forming the bond, is 2.70 ± 0.01 Å in both crystals.

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.

The following substituted 2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-ones have been isolated from the dried flowers of Combretum quadrangulare Kurz ( Combretaceae ): 5-hydroxy-3,3′,4′,5′,7-pentamethoxy ( combretol ) (1), 3′,5-dihydroxy-3,4′,7-trimethoxy ( ayanin ) (2) and 4′,5-dihydroxy- 3,3′,5′,7-tetramethoxy (3). The last substance (3) was obtained as a mixture of two polymorphic forms (α and β) each of which was characterized by X-ray diffraction. Diffractometer data at 295 K were refined by full matrix least squares to residuals of 0.043 (1181 'observed' reflections) for the α-phase and 0.044 (1421) for the β phase of (3). Crystals of the α-phase of (3) are triclinic, Pī, a 12.663(6), b 9.592(4), c 7.444(4) Ǻ, α 102.48(3), β 101.39(4), γ 91.72(4)°,Z 2. Crystals of the β-phase of (3) are monoclinic P21/n, a 17.139(8), b 12.728(6), c 7.845(7) Ǻ, β 95.07(6)°, Z 4. An unambiguous synthesis of (3) was also achieved.

Crystal structure determinations of (LH)2(B10H10), (1), and (LH2)(B10H10), (2), L = 2,2'- bipyridine , have been carried out by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by full-matrix least squares to residuals of 0.041, 0.047 for 1758, 1771 'observed' independent reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 12.040(7), b 17.71(1), c 11.142(4) �, β 101.78(4)�, Z 4. Crystals of (2) are monoclinic, P21/c, a 9.937(4), b 10.837(3), c 14.856(5) �, β 109 2l(3)�, Z 4. The colour of the compounds is accounted for by charge-transfer interactions of a novel type, namely between the positively charged cationic acid hydrogen atoms and the negatively charged non-apical hydrogen atoms of the anion. In yellow (1), these distances are 2.26(5) �, while in red (2), they are much shorter, being 1.89(4), 1.97(3) �.

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.

Two methods (MeOH/K2CO3, pyridine/Et3N) were assessed for the introduction of sulfur into the 2-position of 1,3-disubstituted quaternary imidazolium salts 1-9 (Cl, I, BF4, PF6, CH3OSO3 were used as anions) to yield nine 1,3-disubstituted imidazoline-2-thiones 10-18 (1, 10: R1 = CH3, R2 = CH3; 2, 11: R1 = OCH2Ph, R2 = CH3; 3, 12: R1 = OCH3, R2 = CH3; 4, 13: R1 = OCH3, R2 = OCH3; 5, 14: R1 = NH2, R2 = CH2Ph; 6, 15: R1 = NCHPh, R2 = CH3; 7, 16: R1 = NH2, R2 = CH3; 8, 17: R1 = NCHPh, R2 = NCHPh; 9, 18: R1 = NH2, R2 = OCH3). Compounds 11-18 represent N-alkyloxy and N-amino imidazoline-2-thiones, whereas 10 served as reference compound. The first method was advantageous for the conversion 1 → 10 due to faster reaction, whereas in the reaction 2 → 11 considerable amounts of by-products were formed. Pure thiones 11, 14, 16, 17, and 18 were obtained only by the second method. Both methods worked for the synthesis of the methoxy derivatives 12 and 13 from 3 and 4, and the benzylideneamino derivative 15 from 6. 1-Amino-3- methylimidazoline-2-thione (16) was also prepared by hydrolysis of the benzylideneamino derivative 15. Crystal structures of seven 1,3-disubstituted imidazoline-2-thiones were determined by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction. Intermolecular C-H···S contacts were identified and, additionally, N-H···S interactions in aminothiones 14 and 16. The 1H NMR shifts of 10 and 13 were satisfactorily correlated with the Kamlet-Abboud-Taft π* and b parameters in ten solvents. From the lack of correlation with the a parameter and from the C=S bond length (average 1.68 Å ) a significant contribution of a mesoionic imidazolium-2-thiolate resonance structure seems unlikely.
