The crystal structures of the title compounds, (C7H9N)3CuX, X = Cl , Br, I [(1), (2), (3)], have been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods at 295 K, being refined to residuals of 0.022, 0.053, 0.047 for 151, 312, 720 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. The three structures containing 3,5-dimethylpyridine have an interesting relationship in symmetry: (1) is rhombohedral , R3m, a 9.050(3)Ǻ, α 110.89(3)°, Z 1; (2) is rhombohedral, R3c, a 10.328(5)Ǻ, α 95.60(4), Z 2; and (3), derived from (2), is monoclinic, Cc, a 13.233(6), b 15.083(7), c 11.491(6)Ǻ, β 98.27(4)°, Z 4. The distances Cu- Cl , Br, I are 2.412(9), 2.51(1), 2.683(3)Ǻ, with Cu-N 2.08(1), 2.02(1), 1.98(2)- 2.15(4)Ǻ respectively. In (1), the symmetry of the molecule, containing pseudo- tetrahedrally coordinated copper, N3CuX, is a full 3 m, with the ligands lying in mirror planes containing the 3 axis; in (2), the ligands rotate about the Cu-N bonds so that the molecular symmetry is 3; and in (3) further distortion of this kind causes total loss of crystallographically imposed symmetry. This descent in symmetry is the converse of that observed in the rhombohedral series [(C6H7N)3CuX] (C6H7N = 3-methylpyridine), and the possible underlying reasons are explored in terms of intra- and inter-molecular X...H interactions.

The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K. Crystal data for (PPh3)2CuBr2Cu(PPh3) (1) show that the crystals are iso-morphous with the previously studied chloro analogue, being monoclinic, P21/c, a 19.390(8), b 9.912(5), c 26.979(9) Ǻ, β 112,33(3)°; R 0.043 for No 3444. Cu( trigonal )- P;Br respectively are 2.191(3); 2.409(2), 2.364(2) Ǻ. Cu(tetrahedral)- P;Br respectively are 2.241(3), 2.249(3); 2.550(2), 2.571(2) Ǻ. Crystals of 'step' [PPh3CuBr]4 (2) are isomorphous with the solvated bromo and unsolvated iodo analogues, being monoclinic, C2/c, a 25.687(10), b 16.084(7), c 17.815(9) Ǻ, β 110.92(3)°; R 0.072 for No 3055. Cu( trigonal )- P;Br respectively are 2.206(5); 2.371(3), 2.427(2) Ǻ. Cu(tetrahedral)- P;Br are 2.207(4); 2.446(2), 2.676(3), 2.515(3) Ǻ.

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 crystal structures of potassium [2.2]paracyclophane-4-sulfonate (1), [2.2]paracyclophane-4,15-disulfonic anhydride (2), [2.2]paracyclophane-4,15-disulfonimide (3), N-n-propyl-[2.2]paracyclophane-4,15-disulfonimide (4), N-isopropyl-[2.2]paracyclophane-4,15-disulfonimide (5), N-cyclopropyl-[2.2]paracyclophane-4,15-disulfonimide (6) and N-phenyl-[2.2]paracyclophane-4,15-disulfonimide (7) were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural changes caused by sulfonation are discussed with respect to the parent [2.2]paracyclophane (tricyclo[8.2.2.24,7]hexadeca-4,6,10,12,13,15-hexaene). The main features are a change in the non-bonding distances between the para-phenylene rings and a rotation of these rings with respect to the molecular symmetry plane. The rings are rotated away from each other in the case of monosulfonation (1), but are rotated in the opposite way in the case of the disulfonic anhydride (2) or the disulfonimide compounds (3)–(7). The results are also discussed in terms of the parameters proposed by Keehn [(1983), Organic Chemistry, A Series of Monographs 45, edited by P. H. Keehn & S. M. Rosenfeld, Vol. 1, pp. 69–238. New York: Academic Press] showing that (bonded and non-bonded) angles involving the para-phenylene rings are mainly affected.

Abstract The crystal structures of LiGaCl4 and LiGaI4 have been determined by single crystal X-ray methods. Both compounds are isotypic with LiAlCl4 and characterized by LiX6 octahedra and GaX4 tetrahedra. Mean bond lengths are: d̄(Ga-X) = 217.4 pm (Cl) and 255.9 pm (I); d̄(Li-X) = 263.9 pm (Cl) and 305.3 pm (I), respectively. Common features of the isotypic compounds LiGaX4 (X = Cl, Br. I) are discussed.

Abstract The crystal structures of four isotypic cyano complexes, belonging to the monoclinic type of cryolite (P21/n, Z = 2), were determined by single crystal X-ray methods and in one case also by neutron diffraction: Rb2LiFe(CN)6 (a = 717.3, b = 748.0, c = 1030.2 pm, β = 90.24°; Fe - C = 193.6, C - N = 114.5, Li - N = 227.0 pm), Rb,NaFe(CN)6 (a = 724.5, b = 772.5, c = 1055.2 pm, β = 90.39°; Fe - C = 193.9, C - N = 114.2, Na - N = 250.4 pm), Rb,LiCo(CN)6 (a = 715.5, b = 741.2, c = 1025.0 pm, β = 90.14°; Co - C = 189.6, C - N = 114.3, Li - N = 226.9 pm), Rb2NaCo(CN)6 (a = 722.5, b = 766.3, c = 1049.2 pm, β = 90.33°; Co - C = 189.9 (188.8), C - N = 113.4 (7/5.5), Na - N = 250.6 (249.6 pm). The irregular [RbN8l coordination polyhedra exhibit average distances close to Rb - N = 336 pm. Details are discussed and the results compared with those of related compounds

Adducts (1 : 1) of copper(I) chloride, bromide and thiocyanate with quinoline have been synthesized and have been the subject of single-crystal X-ray structure determinations at 295 K. Crystals of the chloride are orthorhombic, P 212121, a 15.358(7), b 14.309(6), c 3.801(2)Ǻ, Z 4; R was 0.055 for 541 'observed' reflections. Crystals of the bromide are monoclinic, C2/c, a 19.417(5), b 14.048(4), c 15.753(6) Ǻ, β 125.31(2)°, Z 4 tetramers; R was 0.049 for 1138 'observed' reflections. Crystals of the thiocyanate are monoclinic, P 21/c, a 5.682(1), b 10.412(2), c 16.838(5)Ǻ, β 97.48(2)°, Z 4 f.u .; R was 0.045 for 914 'observed' reflections. The chloride takes the form of the common 'stair' polymer, unexpectedly, while the thiocyanate is an expanded version of the same. The bromide provides a second example of a novel tetrameric 'basket' structure exemplified previously by the iodide analogue.

The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined at 295(1) K by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. For [AgI(Et3N)] (1), the unit cell is tetragonal, P42/nmc, a 13.202(6),c 11.654(8) �; the structure was refined to a residual of 0.077 for 589 independent 'observed' reflections, and is isostructural with the 'pseudo-cubane' triethylphosphine and triethylarsineanalogues with two tetrameric units in the cell. For [AgI(2-MeC5H4N)] (2), the cell is orthorhombic,P212121, a 16.63(1), b 10.797(9), c 4.570(4) �, Z 4; a residual of 0.030 was obtained for 770 independent 'observed' reflections. For [AgI(3-MeC5H4N)] (3), the cell is monoclinic, P21/n, a 19.57(2), b 4.633(3), c 9.355(7) �, β 90.85(7)�, Z 4, a residual of 0.038 being obtained for 1382 independent 'observed' reflections. For [AgI(C9H7N)](4), the unit cell is monoclinic, P21/n, a 12.964(9), b 16.84(2), c 4.454(4) �, β 97.10(7)�, Z 4, a residual of 0.040 being obtained for 660 'observed' independent reflections. For compounds (2)-(4), the observed structures are all 'stairpolymers'; the structures of (2) and (3) are quite similar, but that of (4) exhibits significant differences.

Determination of the crystal structure of 'bis (pyridine)silver(I) perchlorate' by single-crystal X-ray methods shows it to be of 2.4:1 pyridine:silver (I) perchlorate stoichiometry , the structure being refined by least squares to a residual of 0.054 for 1142 'observed' reflections. Crystals are tetragonal, I4, a 21.95(1), c 7.684(3) Ǻ. The structure comprises perchlorate anions of two types of I and 4 symmetry, together with two types of complex cation: [Ag( py )2]+, with 1 symmetry, and [Ag( py )4]+ with 4 symmetry. For the two types of cation Ag-N are 2.15(1), 2.16(1) and 2.30(1) Ǻ.
