cis-Inositol monohydrate, C6H12O6.H2O, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 21/n [a 9.900(8), b 9.296(8), c 17.795(15) Ǻ, β 90.5(1)°, Z 8]. The normalized structure factors Eh have an atypical statistical distribution, and attempts to solve the structure by direct methods (triplet relationships) were unsuccessful. The structure was ultimately solved by Patterson and Fourier methods, and was refined by full-matrix least squares [Rw = 0.047 for 1665 independent reflections ≥2σ(Imin)]. The cis-inositol molecules have approximately trigonal symmetry, as expected. The difficulties encountered during the structure analysis are explained by the presence of two nearly identical molecules of high symmetry in the asymmetric unit. The independent molecules are related by translational pseudosymmetry, and their orientations are such that all the C-C and C-O bonds in the structure are approximately parallel to a small number of directions.

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by direct methods from X-ray diffraction data and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.071 for 2647 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, C2/c, a = 36.81(1), b = 11.181(2), c = 20.369(5) �, β = 95.28(3)�, Z = 32. There are four independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, all with the cis disposition of ligands (<Fe-Hg), 2.498 �; <Hg-Fe-Hg), 80.9�); in one of the molecules one of the carbonyl sites is occupied by a more substantial moiety, possibly a result of partial occupancy of HgCl as a result of disorder or decomposition.

The crystal structure of the spirobicyclic phosphorane (OCMe2C(O)O)2PH, 1, has been determined. Crystals of C8H13O6P, 1, are orthorhombic, a = 10.515(2), b = 10.623(2), c = 20.552(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Pca21. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.037 (Rw = 0.033) for 1616 reflections with I > 3sigma(I). The structure consists of two independent molecules each displaying a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry; the distortion follows closely the Berry pseudorotation coordinate.Key words: crystal structure, phosphorane, Berry pseudorotation, trigonal bipyramid.

(3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-4-pyridinonato)diphenylboron has been prepared in high yield by the reaction of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-4-pyridinone with diphenylborinic acid. Crystals of the hemi-acetone solvate are triclinic, a = 15.119(2), b = 16.528(1), c = 9.5802(9) Å, α = 98.721(6), β = 93.344(8), γ = 102.443(6)°, Z = 4, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.050 and Rw = 0.065 for 4330 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The five-membered chelate rings in both of the two crystallographically independent molecules have flattened B-envelope conformations (maximum deviations from the mean planes = 0.114(4) and 0.065(5) Å). Mean bond lengths O—B = 1.553 and C—B = 1.599 Å are consistent with intermediate strength binding of the diphenylboron moiety by the O,O-chelating ligand. Keywords: crystal structure, organoboron compound.

Tetrakis(p-methylsulphonylphenyl)tin(IV) and tetrakis(p-methylsulphinylphenyl)tin(IV) n-hydrate have been prepared and their spectra (ir 1350–400 cm−1; nmr, 1H, 13C, 119Sn) and X-ray crystal structures are reported. The first compound is monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, with a = 21.589(6), b = 6.207(3), c = 22.861(11) Å, β = 93.80(3)° (22 °C); the structure was solved by the direct method and refined by full-matrix least squares calculations to R = 0.043 for 2755 observed reflections. It has 2 molecular symmetry with the methyl group and one oxygen atom completely disordered in both CH3S(O2) groups in the asymmetric unit. The second compound is tetragonal, space group P42/n, Z = 2, with a = b = 15.408(6), c = 6.379(2) Å (−100 °C); the structure was solved by the Patterson method and refined by full-matrix least squares calculations to R = 0.060 for 1209 observed reflections. It has [Formula: see text] molecular symmetry with the whole asymmetric unit disordered. Water molecules occupy positions on parallel 42 axes but molecular packing requirements prevent all sites having 100% occupancy giving n ~ 1 for the hydrate. Keywords: Tetra-aryltins, crystal structures, sulphone, sulphoxide, hydrogen-bonding.

AbstractSingle crystals of AsTeSolution of the structure was essentialy effected by direct methods combined with successive Fourier syntheses. The positional and anisotropic thermal parameters were refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations. Absorption and anomalous dispersion corrections were applied to all atoms. The finalThe As atom is coordinated by six O atoms forming a right trigonal prism. The Te atom site is partially occupied by Te atoms with a population parameter 0.5 and surrounded by six O atoms also forming a right trigonal prism. The structure looks like that of NiAs.

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

Dimedone, C8H12O2, crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry, a = 10.079(7), b = 6.835(3), c = 12.438(4) Å, β = 110.24(5)°, space group P21/n and Z = 4. The structure of this compound was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques using 1205 unique reflections to a final R of 0.047. In the solid state it exists in the enolic form and these molecules pack in the crystal in systems of infinite chains linked together by hydrogen bonds in the y direction. These results are virtually the same as recently reported by Semmingsen.
