Cd(NH3)2Ni(CN)4.0·5 H2O is orthorhombic, Imma, with parameters a = 0·7622(4), b = 1·4992(13), c = 0·8961(6) nm, Z = 4, d(exp) = 2·07(4), d(calc.) = 2·066 Mg m-3. The structure, which was refined by the least squares method to R = 0·038 for 1 508 independent reflections, is isostructural with Ni(NH3)2Ni(CN)4.0·5 H2O and consists of infinite layers of the [Cd(NC)4Ni] type. Two water molecules in the unit cell occupy 4 equivalent positions between the layers. The shortest intermolecular distances 0·3023(2) (H2O···Ni) and 0·3371(1) nm (H2O···NH3) indicate zeolitic character of the water molecule.

The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined from X-ray data collected on a four-circle diffractometer and refined by the full-matrix least-squares method. The former compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn, with a = 14.346(8), b = 7.239(1), c = 17.276(2) Å, and has been refined to a conventional R factor of 0.043 for 890 observed reflections. Corresponding results for the latter compound are monoclinic, P21/n, a = 12.222(4), b = 7.482(2), c = 14.170(8) Å, β = 94.06(4)°, R = 0.060 for 2128 observed data. The triazine rings of both compounds exhibit short N(1)—N(2) bonds and tetrahedral geometry at C(4); however, the ring is puckered in the first compound but flat in the second. Molecules in both crystals are linked by [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds.

Reaction of aqueous solutions containing CO2+ or Ni2+ and PF6−, or AsF6− with excess 3-methylpyridine yields crystals of compounds of composition M(H2O)2(3mpy)6(EF6)2. Blue crystals of diaquohexakis(3-methylpyridine)nickel(II) hexafluorophosphate, C36H46F12NiN6O2P2, are monoclinic, a = 10.497(1), b = 20.074(3), c = 21.836(5) Å, β = 103.93(2)°, Z = 4, space group Cc. The structure was determined with MoKα CAD4 diffractometer data by direct methods, and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.048 for 2723 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of {Ni(3mpy)4[(OH2)(3mpy)]2}2+ cations and PF6− anions. The cation contains a NiN4O2 chromophore with water molecules occupying trans positions of a distorted octahedron about nickel. One additional 3-methylpyridine molecule is H-bonded to each of the water molecules with [Formula: see text] distances of 2.717(11) and 2.719(11) Å. Weak interaction of each water molecule via its second hydrogen atom with a PF6− ion is indicated by the positioning of the anions. The [Formula: see text] distances are 2.958(11) and 2.959(11) Å. Two other complexes of this type, where M is Ni and E is As and where M is Co and E is P, are reported here and on the basis of spectroscopic and magnetic studies are assigned structures similar to the Ni/P complex.Decomposition of the aquo complexes under mild conditions yields compounds of composition M(3mpy)4(EF6)2. Ni(3mpy)4(PF6)2 is assigned a square planar structure with weakly interacting PF6−, anions in axial positions. Both Co(3mpy)4(EF6)2 complexes, where E is P or As, have tetrahedral [Co(3mpy)4]2+ cations and non-coordinated anions.

The crystal and molecular structure of β-bromo(diethylaminoethanolato)copper(II) has been determined from three dimensional X-ray diffractometer data. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pï with one dimer in a unit cell of dimensions α=10.180(II), b=7.999(9), c=6.227(7) Å and a=110.69(4), β=103.12(4), γ=73.82(4)[°]. The structure was refined by least-squares methods using 1944 independent reflexions to give a final R-index of 0,05. The molecule consists of dimeric Cu2O2-units with Cu—O distances of 1.900(4) Å and 1.914(4) A, respectively. The dimers are additional bridged by bromines, so that a “polymeric” structure results; Cu—Br distances are 2.357(2) and 3.660(2) A, respectively. The Cu—Cu distances are 3.003(2) (oxygen bridges) and 4.506(2) Å (bromine bridges).

The structure of CuSiF6•4H2O has been shown to consist of chains of [Cu(H2O)4F2] and [SiF6] octahedra linked through a common fluorine atom. The space group is monoclinic P21/a, with cell dimensions a = 7.22 ± 0.01 Å, b = 9.64 ± 0.01 Å, c = 5.36 ± 0.01 Å and β = 105.2 ± 0.3°. There are 2 molecules in the unit cell and the copper and silicon atoms occupy centers of symmetry. Atomic parameters have been obtained from a block diagonal least squares refinement using anisotropic temperature parameters. The final agreement residual for 574 observed reflections is R = 0.083.


Fluorene, C 13 H 10 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pnam with four molecules per unit cell. The molecule possesses a plane of symmetry which is parallel to the (001) plane of the crystal. The structure has been determined by trial-and-error methods, followed (i) by a least-squares refinement and (ii) by two-dimensional Fourier syntheses. The results from the two methods of refinement are compared and for (ii) a method is given for systematically correcting for overlapping of atoms in projections. The accuracy of the co-ordinates given by these methods is discussed in detail, and it is concluded that the co-ordinates adopted are correct to ±0.017 Å. The carbon skeleton is planar to within the experimental error and the equation of the plane is y = 1.4375 x + 11.0947.

A compound, obtained in large yields from the reaction of acetylacetone and oxodichloroethoxobis(triphenylphosphine)rhenium(V) in benzene, has been shown by single crystal X-ray diffraction to be cis-dichloropentane-2,4-dionato-trans-bis(triphenylphosphine)rhenium(III). The crystals are monoclinic with a = 13.06(1), b = 18.30(1), c = 16.55(1) Å, and β = 112.7(2)°. The space group is P21/c and there are four molecules per unit cell. A total of 3841 independent reflections, of which 2686 were observed, were examined by film methods, the intensities being measured with a microdensitometer. The structure was refined by full matrix least-squares analysis to an R2 value of 0.068. The ligands are arranged around the rhenium atom in the manner described by the compound name to give a rough octahedron of nearest neighbours and the Re—Cl (2.369 Å av.), Re—O (2.02 Å av.), and Re—P (2.474 Å av.) distances are as expected.
