The effect of ancillary phosphine ligands on the structure and hydroformylation activity of Rh-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of type [Rh(IMes)(PR3)(CO)Cl] and [Rh(SIMes)(PR3)(CO)Cl] is described. Very high selectivities for the branched isomer (>95:5) were obtained in the hydroformylation of vinylarenes in all cases except for R = OPh. The new complexes were characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography.Key words: hydroformylation, rhodium, N-heterocyclic carbene, IMes.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni(en)3] (ClO4)2,H2O, has been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.093 for 1400 'observed' reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, P bca, a 17.043(7), b 15.922(6), c 13.496(5) Ǻ, Z 8. The precision of the structure determination is adversely affected by very high perchlorate thermal motion. <Ni-N> is 2.13 Ǻ.

The reaction between C5H5Re(CO)3 and LiSi(C6H5)3 affords the compound C5H5(CO)2ReC(OCH3)Si(C6H5)3 after subsequent alkylation with CH3SO3F. This complex reacts with BF3 to yield [C5H5(CO)2ReCSi(C6H5)3]BF4. This cationic carbyne complex yields C5H5(CO)2ReC(CH1)Si(C6H5)3 with LiCH3 and C5H5(CO)2ReC(H)Si(C6H5)3 with (C4H9)4NBH4. Reaction conditions, properties and spectroscopic data of the new com­pounds as well as an X-ray structure determination of C5H5(CO)2ReC(H)Si(C6H5)3 are reported.

From X-ray analysis, the conclusions are drawn from averaged molecular informations. Thus, limitations are caused when analyzing systems whose symmetry is reduced due to interatomic interactions. In contrast, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) directly images atomic scale surface electron density distribution, with a resolution up to fractions of Angstrom units. The crucial point is the correlation between the electron density distribution and the localization of individual atoms, which is reasonable in many cases. Thus, the use of STM images for crystal structure determination may be permitted. We tried to apply RuCl3 - a layered material with semiconductive properties - for such STM studies. From the X-ray analysis it has been assumed that α-form of this compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m (AICI3 type). The chlorine atoms form an almost undistorted cubic closed package while Ru occupies 2/3 of the octahedral holes in every second layer building up a plane hexagon net (graphite net). Idealizing the arrangement of the chlorines a hexagonal symmetry would be expected. X-ray structure determination of isotypic compounds e.g. IrBr3 leads only to averaged positions of the metal atoms as there exist extended stacking faults of the metal layers.

<p>The sodium-ion conducting family of Na<sub>3</sub><i>Pn</i>S<sub>4</sub>, with <i>Pn</i> = P, Sb, have gained interest for the use in solid-state batteries due to their high ionic conductivity. However, significant improvements to the conductivity have been hampered by the lack of aliovalent dopants that can introduce vacancies into the structure. Inspired by the need for vacancy introduction into Na<sub>3</sub><i>Pn</i>S<sub>4</sub>, the solid solutions with WS<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> introduction are explored. The influence of the substitution with WS<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> for PS<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> and SbS<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup>, respectively, is monitored using a combination of X-ray diffraction, Raman and impedance spectroscopy. With increasing vacancy concentration improvements resulting in a very high ionic conductivity of 13 ± 3 mS·cm<sup>-1</sup> for Na<sub>2.9</sub>P<sub>0.9</sub>W<sub>0.1</sub>S<sub>4</sub> and 41 ± 8 mS·cm<sup>-1</sup> for Na<sub>2.9</sub>Sb<sub>0.9</sub>W<sub>0.1</sub>S<sub>4</sub> can be observed. This work acts as a stepping-stone towards further engineering of ionic conductors using vacancy-injection via aliovalent substituents.</p>
