Evaporation of a methanol solution containing both mer -(PMe2Ph)3Cl3IrIII (1) and mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-trans-Cl2IrIII (2) yields a new crystalline species (3) which is morphologically distinct from either (1) or (2). The structure of (3) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 15.747(2), b 10.305(1), c 16.790(2)Ǻ, β 92.75(3)� and Z 4, and contain, in approximately equal amounts, discrete molecules of both (1) and (2) distributed randomly in common lattice sites. Site content differs only according to whether there is H or Cl trans to the unique phosphine ligand . Structure refinement by full-matrix least-squares analysis (6183 reflections, 413 parameters) converged with R = 0.026, Rw = 0.034, and site occupancy factor for the unique chlorine atom equal to 0.530(4). Molecules each exhibit the conformation observed for pure (1) [pure (2) differs]. Derived metal- ligand distances are very similar to the weighted averages [53% (1), 47% (2)] of the corresponding distances in (1) and (2).

The structure of mer-cis-(PEt2Ph)2(PPri3)H-trans-Cl2IrIII (4) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 11.607(1), b 21.553(1), c 14.066(1) Ǻ, β 109.04(1)? and Z 4. Structure refinement by full-matrix least-squares analysis (3244 unique reflections, 316 parameters) converged with R 0.034 and Rw 0.041. The PEt2Ph ligands are similarly disposed to their PMe2Ph counterparts in mer-cis-(PEt2Ph)2(PPri3)H-trans-Cl2IrIII (2) but the PPri3 ligands are differently oriented and differently configured. Metal-ligand distances [ Ir -P(1,2,3) 2.333(2), 2.404(2), 2.368(2) Ǻ; Ir-Cl (1,2) 2.388(2), 2.400(2) Ǻ] are all within c. 0.02 Ǻ of those in (2). The P-Ir -P(trans) angle is 155.3(1)°.

The structure of mer-trans-(PPri3)2(PH3)H-trans-Cl2IrIII (1) (Pri = isopropyl), the second third-row transition-metal-PH3 complex to be so characterized, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C 2/c with a 21.701(2), b 8.735(1), c 15.594(1) Ǻ, β 119.57(1)° and Z 4. Structure refinement by full-matrix least-squares analysis (2811 reflections, 113 parameters) converged with R = 0.016 and Rw = 0.022. Molecules exhibit crystallographically imposed C2 symmetry. The C2 axis passes through the iridium, hydride and PH3 phosphorus atoms, and requires the PH3 hydrogen atoms to be disordered. Important molecular dimensions are Ir-PPri3 2.371(1) Ǻ, Ir-PH3 2.362(1) Ǻ, Ir-Cl 2.374(1) Ǻ and P- Ir -P(trans) 163.21(3)°.

The structures of two crystalline modifications of mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-cis-Cl2IrIII, (1), have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Modification (A) is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 12.635(1), b 30.605(3), c 14.992(2)Ǻ, β 110.01(2)° and Z = 8. Modification (B) is orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a 27.646(3), b 11.366(1), c 17.252(2)Ǻ and Z = 8. The structures were solved by conventional heavy atom techniques and refined by full-matrix least- squares analyses to conventional R values of 0.037 [(A), 8845 independent reflections] and 0.028 [(B), 5291 independent reflections]. Important bond lengths [Ǻ] are Ir -P(trans to Cl ) 2.249(1) av. (A) and 2.234(1) (B), Ir -P(trans to PMe2Ph) 2.339(2) av. (A) and 2.344(1), 2.352(1) (B), Ir-Cl (trans to H) 2.492(2), 2.518(2) (A) and 2.503(1) (B) and Ir-Cl (trans to PMe2Ph)2.452(2) av. (A) and 2.449(1)(B). Differences in chemically equivalent metal- ligand bond lengths emphasize the importance of non-bonded contacts in determining those lengths.

The crystal and molecular structures of pentane-2,4-dionato-(2,3,5,6-tetrahapto-2,3-dicarbomethoxo[2.2.1]bicycloheptadienerhodium(I), Rh(C5H7O2)(C7H6(CO2CH3)2), have been measured by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The orange crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4, a = 9.245(4), b = 9.003(4), c = 21.680(15) Å, β = 113.41(5)°. The calculated and observed densities are 1.645 and 1.642(5) respectively. Intensity data were collected on a Syntex [Formula: see text] diffractometer and a full matrix least squares refinement on 3010 observed reflections leads to a conventional R = 0.0660. The structure can be considered as a roughly square planar arrangement of ligands around the rhodium atom composed of two β-ketoenolate oxygen atoms (Rh—O, 2.037(5) and 2.025(5) Å ) and the centers of the two ethylenic groups. The Rh—C distances for the olefin group attached to the two carbomethoxo groups, 2.117(8), 2.108(8) Å, appear to be slightly larger than those for the other olefinic group, 2.087(7), 2.082(6), and the corresponding C=C distances of 1.375(10) and 1.410(9) Å are different at the 95% confidence level.

The crystal structure of 1,4-diphenyl-2,2′,3,3′,5,5′,6,6′-octamethylcyclo-1,4-diphospha-2,3,5,6-tetrasilahexane, (PhPSi2Me4)2, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 9.866(1), b = 11.921(1), and c = 11.324(2) Å, β = 104.31(1)°, Z = 2, and ρcalcd = 1.15 g/cm3. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.060 and Rw of 0.078, for 1173 reflections with intensities greater than 3σ. The (PhPSi2Me4)2 molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, and the six-membered P2Si4 ring has a chair conformation with equatorial phenyl groups. The endocyclic angles at P (104.4(1)°) and Si (104.9(2)°) are intermediate between those found in cyclic hexaphosphine and hexasilane molecules, and the Si—Si and P—Si distances of 2.345(3) and 2.252(4) Å, respectively, correspond to single bond lengths, with no appreciable evidence for secondary pπ → dπ bonding between phosphorus and silicon. The Si—C (1.867(8) Å) and P—C (1.828(7) Å) bond lengths are also normal. The variations in the Si—P—C (101.6(2)°, 108.6(2)°), P—Si—C (range 106.2(3)–120.0(3)°), and Si—Si—C (range 105.8(3)–113.7(3)°) angles indicate that the positions of the exocyclic methyl and phenyl groups are influenced by both intra- and intermolecular steric forces.

New amineruthenium and amineiridium hydride derivatives have been synthesized and characterized with the objective of observing intramolecular [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] interactions. These include RuHCl(CO)(L)(PPri3)2 (1a, L = NH2NH2; 1b, L = NH3) and IrCl2(L)(H)(PCy3)2 (2a, L = SC(NH2)2; 2b, L = NH3; 2c, L = NH2NH2; 2d, L = NH2(CH2)3NH2; 2e, L = NH2OH). Instead, weak [Formula: see text] van der Waals contacts have been detected in the solid state by X-ray analysis and in solution by NMR T1 measurements and nOe techniques. Both X-ray crystal structure analysis and minimum T1 measurements indicate that the [Formula: see text] distances in the [Formula: see text] interactions are ca•2.0–2.2 Å. The weak interactions might influence the course of deuteration of these complexes under D2 gas. The crystal and molecular structure of IrCl2(NH3)(H)(PCy3)22a has been determined by X-ray diffraction at 173 K: monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 14.859(2) Å, b = 18.579(3) Å, c = 18.548(3) Å, β = 97.29(1)°, V = 5079.1(13) Å3, Z = 4, full-matrix least-squares refinement on F2 for 10 953 independent reflections; R[F2 > 4σ(F2)] = 0.0283, wR(F2) = 0.0704. Keywords: ruthenium, iridium, hydride, dihydrogen, complexes, hydrogen bond, NMR, X-ray.

AbstractThe crystal chemistry of a meso-octahedral Li,Be-bearing mica from the Harding pegmatite (Dixon, Taos County, New Mexico, USA) has been investigated by constant-wavelength single-crystal neutron diffraction at 20 K, single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 100 K and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The chemical composition based on ICP-AES analysis leads to the following chemical formula (calculated on the basis of 12 oxygen atoms):Ca(Na0.26K0.04Ca0.69)∑0.99M(Li0.29Mg0.03Fe0.023+Al1.78)∑2.12T(Al1.73Be0.16Si2.11)S4.00O12H2.53. The apparent excess of H is probably due to the fact that the fraction of H2O was assumed by difference to 100 wt.%, and slightly overestimated. On the basis of the previous experimental findings on Li,Be-bearing mica, X-ray (at 100 K) and neutron (at 20 K) structure refinements were performed in the space groupsCcandC2/c. The neutron structure refinement in the space groupCcoffers a view about the (Al,Be,Si)-tetrahedral ordering: the best fit of the refinement was reached with theT1 andT4 sites occupied by (Be + Al) andT2 andT3 fully occupied by Si. This leads to a final population ofT(Al1.88Be0.12Si2.00)∑4.00p.f.u., in reasonable agreement with the chemical analysis. The neutron refinement provides unambigous evidence of the occurrence of Li at theM1 site. The refined fraction of Li at theM1 site ranges between 0.27 and 0.29 a.p.f.u., in excellent agreement with the chemical analysis. The presence of Li, at least at a significant level, at theM2 (andM3) site can be ruled out, as a full site occupancy with the scattering length of Al was obtained. The location of the H sites and the complex hydrogen-bonding scheme are described. A comparison between the structure features of this Li,Be-mica and other brittle micas is carried out.

AbstractThree natural amphibole samples collected from the former vermiculite mine near Libby, Montana. USA, have been analysed by Rietveld X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) refinement and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in the OH-stretching region. The same materials have been analysed previously by electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), Mössbauer spectroscopy and structure refinement (SREF) single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), which revealed that these amphiboles have a crystal chemical formula very close to an intermediate composition between winchite and richterite, i.e. AA0.5BNaCaCMg4.5M3+T0.5Si8O22(OH)2 (A = Na and/or K; M3+ = Fe3+ and/or Al). The Rietveld analysis showed the powder samples used for the experiments here to be composed only of amphibole. This in turn allowed us to use FTIR OH-stretching data to derive cation ordering on these powder samples. The three FTIR spectra are quite similar and up to four components can be fitted to the patterns. The two lower-frequency components (labelled A and B) can be attributed to a local O(3)-H dipole surrounded by M(1)M(3)Mg3 and M(1)M(3)Mg2Fe2+; (respectively), an empty A site and rSi8 environments; on the contrary, the higher-frequency C and D bands indicate the presence of an occupied A site. The FTIR OH-stretching data alone allow us to calculate the site occupancy of the A, M(1)–M(3) and T sites with confidence, as compared with previously published data. By contrast M(4)- and M(2)-site occupancies are more difficult to evaluate. This study takes advantage of the large database of well characterized synthetic amphiboles, built over the last two decades. The comparison of vibrational spectroscopy data with micro-chemical and crystallographic data reported in this study demonstrate that the FTIR OH-stretching method alone is a valuable and rapid method to derive or at least sensibly constrain site occupancy for natural amphiboles. A much more detailed cation site occupancy can be obtained by combining micro-chemical and FTIR OH-stretching data.
