The syntheses of the chiral ansa-metallocene complexes TiCl2(η5:η5-C5Me4SiMe2C5H3R*) (R* = menthyl (4a) or neomenthyl (4b)) are reported; initially 4a was obtained as a 3:1 mixture of (R:S) diastereoisomers, which differ only in which face of the asymmetrically substituted cyclopentadienyl ring is bonded to the titanium (chiral descriptor shown). The major diastereomer 4aR was crystallized out optically pure from the initial reaction mixture, whereas the 4aS diastereoisomer was isolated after isomerizing a racemic mixture of 4a to a 1:3 mixture of (R:S) diastereoisomers using UV irradiation. The corresponding neomenthyl complex 4b was obtained as a 1.3:1 mixture of diastereoisomers that could not be separated. The optically pure 4aR was converted stereoselectively into the corresponding (R)-TiMe2(η5:η5-C5Me4SiMe2C5H3R*) (R* = menthyl). Syntheses of the related indenyl ligand system C5Me4SiMe2C9H7 (3) is reported but complexation to titanium proved to be problematic although ZrCl2(η5:η5-C5Me4SiMe2C9H6) (6) was isolated. The crystal structures of both 4aR and 4aS are reported and compared. Crystals of 4aR are orthorhombic, a = 27.857(11), b = 9.985(5), and c = 9.596(4) Å, Z = 4, space group P212121 (D24, No. 19), and those of 4aS are monoclinic, a = 8.5810(10), b = 38.679(4), and c = 8.5842(10) Å, β = 113.001(2)°, Z = 4, space group P21 (C22, No. 4). The structures were solved by the Patterson method and 4aR was refined by blocked-cascade least-squares procedures to R = 0.0628 (Rω = 0.0503) for 902 reflections with |F|/σ(|F|) [Formula: see text] 3.0, whereas 4aS was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.0646 (wR2 = 0.1829) for 5734 reflections with |F|/σ(|F|) [Formula: see text] 4.0. Both diastereomers of 4a catalyze hydrosilylation of ketones, but as expected from a comparison of the two crystal structures, the 4aR isomer is the more stereoselective catalyst, i.e., hydrosilylation of acetophenone followed by hydrolysis gives 82% enantiomeric excess (ee) of (S)-PhCH(Me)OH with 4aR whereas only 16% ee of (R)-PhCH(Me)OH with 4aS.Key words: titanium, metallocene, chiral, structure, catalyst.

The reactions of the LMo(CO)3− ions (L = MeGapz3, HBpz3, Me2Gapz(OCH2CH2NMe2)) with [Cu(PPh3)Cl]4 and Rh(PPh3)3Cl have yielded complexes with Mo—Cu and Mo—Rh bonds. The X-ray crystal structures of two such complexes have been determined. Crystals of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Cu(PPh3) are monoclinic, a = 17.071(2), b = 16.738(1), c = 23.641(3) Å, β = 104.899(6)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n, and those of [MeGapz3]Mo(CO)3Rh(PPh3)2, are triclinic, a = 12.519(3), b = 17.182(4), c = 12.071(2) Å, α = 105.02(1), β = 109.87(1), γ = 97.10(2)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. Both structures were solved by conventional heavy atom methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.035 for 6296 reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I) and R = 0.036 and Rw = 0.037 for 5642 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. The former complex provides a rare example of a 3:3:1, or capped octahedral structure, with a short (mean) Mo—Cu distance of 2.513(9) Å. The latter compound displays one terminal and two bridging CO ligands and a Mo—Rh distance of 2.6066(5) Å.

The crystal structures of the title compounds have been established by X-ray diffraction at 295 K, being refined by full-matrix least-squares to residuals of 0.054 (0.051) respectively 2715 (469) reflections with I > σ(I)]. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, the compounds being isomorphous. Oxychloride: a = 14.534(4), b = 8.337(2), c = 7.653(1)Ǻ, β = 106.48(1)�. Oxybromide: a = 14.884(4), b = 8.360(2), c = 7.726(1)Ǻ, β = 105.30(1)�, Z = 4. With the exception-of the arsenic- halogen distance, the geometries of the two molecules are identical within the limits of error: for the oxychloride As-O-As, 121.8(3); Cl- As-O,98.03(6); Cl-As-C, 97.2(2); O-As-C, 92. 9(2)� ; As-O, 1.787(3); As-C, 1.941(5) Ǻ.

The crystal structures of the isomorphous complexes [M(pyridine 1-oxide)6] (ClO4)2 M = Cu (1), Co (2) and Fe (3), have been determined from X-ray diffractometer data collected at 293 K. The complexes crystallize in the rhombohedral space group R3 with Z = 1; cell constants for (1): a 9.605(1)Ǻ, α 81.10(1)°; for (2): a 9.619(1)Ǻ, α 81.19(1)°; for (3): a 9.640(1)Ǻ, α 81.06(1)°. The structures were solved by Fourier techniques and refined by block-diagonal least squares to convergence at R, R': (1) 0.037, 0.039 for 1009 reflections; (2) 0.030, 0.038 for 812 reflections; (3) 0.032, 0.041 for 780 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The cations have exact S6 symmetry with the MO6 moiety having almost exact Oh symmetry, which implies for (1) a lack of a static Jahn-Teller distortion. The M-O distances increase (1) 2.076(2), (2) 2.090(1), (3) 2.112(2)Ǻ in the order expected. The geometries of the pyridine 1-oxide ligand and the perchlorate ion are consistent over the three determinations and are normal.

Single crystals of two novel shchurovskyite-related compounds, K2Cu[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (1) and K2.35Cu0.825[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (2), were synthesized by crystallization from gaseous phase and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of both compounds are based upon similar Cu-based layers, formed by rods of the [O2Cu6] dimers of oxocentered (OCu4) tetrahedra. The topologies of the layers show both similarities and differences from the shchurovskyite-type layers. The layers are connected in different fashions via additional Cu atoms located in the interlayer, in contrast to shchurovskyite, where the layers are linked by Ca2+ cations. The structures of the shchurovskyite family are characterized using information-based structural complexity measures, which demonstrate that the crystal structure of 1 is the simplest one, whereas that of 2 is the most complex in the family.

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.

The crystal structures of the chiolite-related room temperature phases α-Na5M3F14 (MIII=Cr,Fe,Ga) are determined. For all of them, the space group is P21/n, Z=2; a=10.5096(3) Å, b=7.2253(2) Å, c=7.2713(2) Å, β=90.6753(7)° (M=Cr); a=10.4342(7) Å, b=7.3418(6) Å, c=7.4023(6) Å, β=90.799(5)° (M=Fe), and a=10.4052(1) Å, b=7.2251(1) Å, c=7.2689(1), β=90.6640(4)° (M=Ga). Rietveld refinements produce final RF factors 0.036, 0.033, and 0.035, and RWP factors, 0.125, 0.116, and 0.096, for MIII=Cr, Fe, and Ga, respectively. The MF6 polyhedra in the defective isolated perovskite-like layers deviate very few from perfect octahedra. Subtle octahedra tiltings lead to the symmetry decrease from the P4/mnc space group adopted by the Na5Al3F14 chiolite aristotype to the P21/n space group adopted by the title series. Facile twinning precluded till now the precise characterization of these compounds.
