The synthesis of [Ln{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)(µ-Cl)]2 (Ln = Ce, 1; Nd, 2) by reaction of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (2 equiv.) with LnCl3 is reported. The same complexes were also isolated from the ligand redistribution reactions of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 and LnCl3 (2:1 ratio) in THF at 80°C. The crystal structure of 2, determined by X-ray diffraction, revealed a centrosymmetric dimer with bridging chlorides and pentacoordinate metal centres. 1H NMR studies show that the solid state structure is not maintained in solution. NMR evidence for the presence of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 and two other bis(trimethylsilyl)amide containing species, presumably Ln[N(SiMe3)2]Cl2(THF)x and Ln[N(SiMe3)2]2Cl(THF)y, is presented.Key words: lanthanide, amide, neodymium, cerium, crystal structure, X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance, redistribution.

Exclusive, high-yield formation of the cyclotrimers of ethynylferrocene (1) was observed when TaCl5 in benzene was employed as catalyst. Analysis of the resulting isomer mixture by means of HPLC and 1H NMR revealed the presence of 1,3,5-triferrocenylbenzene (sym-2) and 1,2,4-triferrocenylbenzene (asym-2) in the ratio of 4 : 6. A small amount of pure sym-2 isomer was isolated, and its solid-state structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecules of sym-2 possess a distorted up-up-down arrangement of the ferrocenyl groups attached to the benzene ring.

The reduction of magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPc) with 2.2 equivalents of potassium graphite in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) gives [K2(DME)4]PcMg(OH)(1) in 67% yield. Compound 1 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography and was found to be a monomeric, heterometallic complex consisting of a μ3-OH ligand that bridges a [MgIIPc3-]- anion to two potassium cations solvated by four DME molecules. An absorption spectrum of 1 confirms the Pc ligand is singly reduced and has a 3–charge. The solid-state structure of 1 does not indicate breaking of the aromaticity of the Pc ligand. Compound 1 is only the second Pc3- complex and the first reduced MgPc to be isolated and structurally characterized.

The title complex is asymmetric in the crystal due to the spatial orientation of the NCS function. The space group has been determined to be P21 with a = 9.496(3), b = 8.736(3), c = 9.676(3) Å, β = 117.859(5)°, and Z = 2. The solid state 13C NMR spectrum is consistent with the lack of symmetry in the crystal and there is little evidence for large amplitude motion in the macrocycle as determined from the dipolar dephased spectrum.Key words: macrocyclic crown ether, lithium complex.

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C7H7N2+·BF4−, comprises two independent but nearly identical formula units. The solid-state structure comprises corrugated layers of cations and anions, formed by C—H...F hydrogen bonding, that are approximately parallel to (010). Further C—H...F hydrogen bonding consolidates the three-dimensional architecture. The sample was refined as a two-component non-merohedral twin.

The solid-state structure of the semicarbazone derivative (3) of the aldehyde diacid (1), an acyclic diterpene isolated from Eremophila species, has been determined by a single-crystal room-temperature X-ray study. Crystals of (3) are triclinic, Pī , a 14.642(7), b 14.371(6), c 12.823(6) Ǻ, α 76.59(4), β 66.09(4), γ 72.97(4)°, Z = 4; R was 0.052 for 2265 independent 'observed' (I > 3σ(I)) diffractometer reflections.
