α-Zn2V2O7 is monoclinic with lattice parameters a = 7.429(5), b = 8.340(3), c = 10.098(3) Å, β = 111.37(5)°, Z = 4 and space group C2/c. The structure was refined using a full matrix least-squares with 1034 reflections measured with a quarter-circle General Electric automatic X-ray diffractometer to a final R value of 0.066. The anion consists of a pair of VO4 tetrahedra sharing an oxygen atom which lies on a two-fold axis. The bridging V—O bond length is 1.775(4) Å while the three independent terminal ones are 1.728(4), 1.704(7), and 1.658(8) Å long. These bond lengths are consistent with the charge character around the individual oxygen atoms. The Zn ions are coordinated to five oxygen atoms with Zn—O bonds ranging from 1.973 to 2.088°Å. The structure is similar to that of α-CU2P2O7 and transforms to the thortvietite structure at about 615 °C.

Crystals of tetraammonium diphosphate, (NH4)4P2O7, crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c, Z = 4 and lattice parameters a = 11.758(3), b = 6.486(2), c = 13.659(2) Å and β = 104.81(1)°. The structure was refined using full-matrix least-squares methods with 810 reflections to an R value of 0.092. The diphosphate anion contains a crystallographic two-fold axis, and has a configuration intermediate between staggered and eclipsed. The bridging P—O bond length is 1.624(2) Å and the terminal P—O bonds average 1.507 Å. The diphosphate groups lie in sheets defined by [Formula: see text] and are bridged by NH4+ groups which hydrogen bond to only the terminal oxygen atoms. Each hydrogen is bonded to one oxygen atom but each of the terminal oxygen atoms interacts with either two or three hydrogen atoms.

α-VPO5 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/n with a = 6.014(7) and c = 4.434(2) Å. The structure, isotypic with that of α-VSO5, was refined by full-matrix least-squares method to an R value of 0.089 using 239 independent reflections. The vanadium ion lies on a crystallographic four-fold axis, as does one of the oxygen atoms, and the P on a site of [Formula: see text] symmetry. A second oxygen atom, as a result of disorder, occurs in two positions which are mirror reflected with respect to the ac plane. The structure consists of highly distorted VO6 groups with bond lengths along the c axis of 1.580(11) and 2.853(11) Å while the remaining four V—O bond lengths are all 1.858(8) Å. The P—O bond lengths in the PO4. tetrahedron are 1.541(8) Å with the PO4 groups bridging across four chains of VO6 groups.

1,13-Bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane-dimercury(I)-diperchlorate is formed by the reaction of 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane in ethanol with an aqueous solution of dimercury(I)-diperchlorate.It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P Ī with a = 1020.6(2), b = 1200.6(8), c = 1441.1(6) pm , α = 69.60(5)°, β = 83.04(13)°, y = 66.53(4)° and Z = 2. The crystal structure was determined by X -ray diffraction and refined to an R-value o f 0.079. The Hg22+ -ion is coordinated to both nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms of one molecule of the ligand. By changing four C - O torsional angles from trans to gauche, the ligand adopts a helical, chiral configuration around the Hg22+-ion. The CIO4--ions are not coordinated to the Hg22+-ion.

The crystal structure of Mg2As2O7 has been refined by full matrix least squares procedures using 587 observed reflections. The structure of Mg2As2O7 is of the thortveitite type, as reported by Łukaszewicz, with space group C2/m and unit cell dimensions a = 6.567(2) Å, b = 8.524(4) Å, c = 4.739(1) Å, β = 103.8(1)°, and Z = 2. The As—O—As group in the anion appears to be linear but the central oxygen atom undergoes considerable disorder in the plane perpendicular to this group. The AsO bond distances uncorrected for thermal motion are 1.67 Å for the As—O(—As) bond and 1.66 and 1.65 Å for the terminal As—O bonds. The final R value obtained is 0.088.

The crystal structures of the title compounds, [Ni(OH2)4(en)] [SO4].2H2O, (1), and [Ni(OH2)4(bpy)]- [SO4].2H2O, (2), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by full matrix least-squares methods to residuals of 0.028,0.031 for 1852, 4323 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, C2/c, a 9.459(4), b 12.192(7), c 12.294(3) �, β 119.84(4)�, Z 4. In the cation, Ni-N is 2.061(2) �; Ni-O (trans to O, N respectively) are 2.106(2), 2.063(2) �. Instead of being enlarged above 90� as predicted from repulsion theory, the angle between the pair of oxygen atoms trans to nitrogen is diminished, being 87 14(7)�. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, P1, a 11.476(5), b 9.351(5), c 7.793(4) �, α 77.63(4), β 83.52(3), γ87.40(4)�, Z 2. In the cation, Ni-N are both 2.063(2) �. Ni-O (trans to N, O respectively) are 2.060(2), 2.O42(2); 2.O80(2), 2�. The short Ni-O distance [2.042(2)�] is associated with the coordination of a trigonal water molecule.

PbV2O6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 9.771(10), b = 3.684(4), c = 12.713(13) Å, and Z = 4. The structure was determined using 816 reflections measured with an automatic diffractometer and refined by full-matrix least squares to an R value of 0.052. The two unique vanadium ions lie on mirror planes and are each coordinated to five oxygen atoms lying between 1.61 and 2.06 Å. The distorted octahedra are completed by a sixth V–O interaction which is 2.73 Å for V(1) and is 2.57 Å for V(2). The lead ion is coordinated to nine oxygen atoms lying in a spherical shell with inner and outer radii of 2.56 and 2.90 Å. The structure consists of chains of VO6 octahedra paralleling the b axis.

Crystals of synthetic Mg-whitlockite, Ca18Mg2H2(PO4)14, have been grown by hydrothermal techniques and their structure refined by full-matrix least-squares methods, using 1626 unique reflections measured with a Syntex [Formula: see text] automatic diffractometer, to a final R value of 0.046. The crystals have space group R3c with ZR = 1, a = 13.765(8) Å and α = 44.25(5)° with the equivalent hexagonal parameters a = 10.350(5), c = 37.085(12) Å and ZH = 3. The structure, although similar to that of βCa3(PO4)2, differs significantly. The structure contains interconnected infinite chains of polyhedra paralleling the hexagonal c axis with links in the chains consisting of three CaO8 polyhedra separated by two PO4 tetrahedra. Six of these chains surround a chain of MgO6 octahedra and PO4H groups which lie on the three-fold axes. These chains however contain only half the formula unit density of the calcium containing ones and a proton, presumably disordered, is attached to the oxygen atom on the triad axes.

The crystal structure of tetraethylammonium bromopentacarbonyltungstate (0), [NEt4] [W(CO)5Br], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 22�1°C. Crystals are tetragonal, space group P4/n, with a 9.206(2), c 10.484(2) Ǻ, and Z 2. Full-matrix least-squares refinement gave a final R value of 0.034 for 820 independent reflections. The [W(CO)5Br]- anion possesses exact C4v symmetry, with bond lengths W-Br 2.736(1), W-COtrans 1.93(1) and W-COcis 2.034(6) Ǻ.

The crystal structure of the synthetic intermediate, 9-cyano-1,10-dimethyl-6-ethy]enedioxy-1-octalin, C15H21O2N, was solved by direct methods. The compound crystallizes in the space group p21/c with cell dimensions a = 12.282(4), b = 7.144(3), c = 15.619(5) Å, β = 104.04(1)°. Refinement was carried out isotropically for hydrogen and anisotropically for non-hydrogen atoms using full matrix least squares to an R-value of 0.043 for 1669 observed reflections.This compound, which has a cis configuration at the octalin ring junction, is a precursor to a moiety of the alkaloid thelepogine. The cis conformation is essential for total synthesis of thelopogine by this route.
