The crystal structures of the colourless 2,2'-dimethoxybenzil (2) and 4,4'-diethoxybenzil (6), the yellow 4,4'-dimethoxybenzi (5), and the yellow polymorph of 4,4'-dibenzyloxybenzil (7) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray studies from diffractometer data at 295 K, and refined by full matrix least-squares techniques to residuals of 0.048 (1281 'observed' reflections), 0.041 (610), 0.052 (662) and 0.043 (2140) respectively. Crystals of 2,2′-dimethoxybenzil (2) are monoclinic, P21/c, a 7.861(4), b 7.991(2), c 21.557(9)�, β90.37(4)�, Z 4. Crystals of 4,4'-dimethoxybenzil (6) are monoclinic C2/c, a 21.912(9), b 4.055(2), c 15.197(5) �,β 102 13(3)� Z 4. Crystals of 4,4′-diethoxybenzil (6) are monoclinic C21/c, a 14.544(7), b 4.781(2), c 22.128(7), β 99.06(3)�, Z 4. Crystals of the yellow modification of 4,4'-dibenzyloxybenzil (7) are monoclinic P21/c, a 19.126(4), b 6.91 1(2), c 16.673(7) � β 99.52(3)�, Z 4. It has been found that there is a correlation between the colour of the crystal and the conformation adopted by the molecule in the solid state with the colourless derivatives of benzil having the aromatic ring planes orthogonal.

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.

Both complexes haw the stoichiometry (FeCl3)1(bpy,phen)1, but are formulated as cis-[Fe(bpy,phen)2Cl2] [FeCl4]; in both compounds, the Fe-N distance is c. 2.20, (trans to Cl), 2.1, Ǻ(cis to Cl), while Fe-Cl, c. 2.2, Ǻ, is short. The structure determinations of Fe2Cl6(phen,bpy)3 as [Fe(phen)2Cl2]+ [Fe(phen)Cl4]- (3) and [Fe(bpy)2Cl2]+ [Fe(bpy)Cl4]- (4) are also reported. Compound (3) (from acetonitrile solution) is triclinic, P1, a 16.502(5), b 11.857(3), c 10.653(3) Ǻ, α 84.92(2), β 72.66(2), γ 74.80(2)°, Z 2, and was refined to a residual of 0.034 for 5540 'observed' reflections. The cation geometry is similar to that of (2); in the anion, the two Fe-CI bonds trans to each other are long [2.377(1) and 2.365(1) Ǻ] while those trans to the Fe-N bonds are short [2.287(1) and 2.318(1) Ǻ]. Fe-N distances are 2.216(3) and 2.220(3) A. Compound (4) (as its nitromethane solvate) is also triclinic, P1, a 14.480(7), b 12.645(5), c 10.678(4) Ǻ, α 95.68(3), β 109.21(3), γ 9258(3)°, Z 2; a residual of 0.042 was obtained for 4962 'observed' reflections. Cation and anion metal geometries are similar to those of (3).

The crystal structures of the title compounds, Me2NC(S)SC(S)NMe2 (tmtm) and I2Hg(tmtm), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295 K and refined by full-matrix least squares to residuals of 0.038 and 0.050 respectively for 1080 and 1532 ?observed? reflections. ��� The ligand tmtm is monoclinic, P21/a, a 14.096(4), b 7.457(3), c 10.178(3)Ǻ, β 110.55(3)�, Z4. The complex I2Hg(tmtm) is orthorhombic, P212121, a 12.910(3), b 12.441(3), c 9.863(2) Ǻ, Z4. ��� The structure of the ligand comprises a pair of planar Me2NCS2 fragments linked at the common central sulphur atom with a dihedral of 78.4�. As in the related tetraethylthiuram disulphide, the ?CS2- geometry is very asymmetric: <C=S> 1.657; <C-S> 1.793 Ǻ; <S-C-S> 119.3; <S-C-N> 115.2; <S=C-N> 125.4�; with C-S-C, 103.2(2)�. The metal-atom geometry in I2Hg(tmtm) is pseudo-trigonal prismatic, as in I2Hg(Me2NCS2- S2CNMe2), the prism apex being occupied by a ligand sulphur atom, but considerable changes are observed in the geometry about the metal as a consequence of the change in the ligand ?bite?.

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.
