The compound Hg2.86 AsF6 belongs to the tetragonal space group I41/amd with lattice parameters a = 7.538(4) Å, c = 12.339(5) Å, and Z = 4. The structure was refined using 109 symmetry independent reflections by full matrix least-squares refinement to a final R value of 0.079. The structure may be described as consisting of octahedral AsF6− ions arranged on a lattice which contains linear, non-intersecting channels in two mutually perpendicular directions. Within these channels are infinite chains of mercury atoms, each with a formal charge of +0.35, and with a mercury–mercury distance of 2.64(1) Å.

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.

An X-ray crystallographic study of merosinigrin confirmed the structure as 1,2-S,O-(1R,2S-1-cyano-2-methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranose. The compound crystallizes in the space group P1 with a = 6.699(1), b = 9.347(1), c = 5.328(2) Å, α = 103.56(2), β = 109.14(3), γ = 86.71(1)°, and Z = 1. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques to a final agreement value of R = 0.031. Merosinigrin provides what appears to be the first example of the anomeric effect in a thiane (1,4-oxathiane) system with cyano as the polar substituent.

Bromide abstraction from the complexes Re(CO)3L2Br (where L = SbPh3 and L2 = bpy, dpe, tmen)* by AgF2H gives the corresponding fluoro compounds Re(CO)3L2F. Mass spectra and structural data show that the fluoride in these complexes is coordinated to the metal. The structures of Re(CO)3(tmen)F and [Re(CO)3(tmen)F]2H.HOBF3 are reported here. Crystals of Re(CO)3(tmen)F are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a 8.202(2), b 13.115(9), c 12.048(4) � and β 102 24(3)�. A full-matrix least-squares refinement by using the absorption corrected data gave a conventional R value of 0.041. [Re(CO)3(tmen)F]2H.HOBF3 also crystallizes in the space group P21/c. The lattice parameters are: a 17.495(2), b 10.772(2), c 15.447(1) � and β ( 101.409(8)�. The final R value of a blocked least-squares calculation converged at 0.061. In these two complexes the simple Re-F distance is 2.040(4) �, in Re(CO)3(tmen)F. The Re-F distance is increased to 2.236(10)�, as a result of hydrogen bonding between the fluoride and HOBF3 in the latter compound.

Oxidation of 5,10-dihydro-5,10-dimethylphenazine and 5,10-dihydro-5,10-diethyl-phenazine under different reaction conditions leads to several iodine containing solids. The preparation and X-ray structure of two of them, 5,10-dihydro-5,10-dimethyl-phcnaziniumtriiodide (3) and 5,10-dihydro-5,10-diethylphenaziniumtriiodido (4) are reported here.Compound 3 crystallizes in space group P21/n with lattice parameters a = 8.552(6) Å, b= 16.953(2) Å, c- 12.157(9) Å and β= 103.46(2)° with four formula units in the unit cell. The structure was refined to an R-value of 0.046 using 2387 independent reflections. The lattice constains distinct, slightly distorted triiodide ions and bent 5,10-dihydro-5,10-dimethylphenazinium radical cations. Compound 4 crystallizes in the same space group P21/n with lattice parameters a = 8.531(6) Å, b = 8.332(21) Å, c = 13.320(15) Å and β= 94.44(19)° with two formula units in the unit cell. The structure was refined to an R-value of 0.076 using 1195 independent reflections. The lattice contains strictly linear symmetrical triiodide ions and planar centrosymmetrical 5,10-dihydro-5,10-diethyl- phenazinium radical cations.

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.

Three 2-(hydroxyamino)alkanols have been reacted with sterically hindered arylboronic acids, ArB(OH)2. When Ar = o-tolyl, 1:2 condensates having bicyclic structures are formed but when Ar = mesityl (2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2), 1:1 condensates having six-membered cycloboronate structures result. These 1:1 condensates represent the first examples of N-unsubstituted 1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane derivatives. An X-ray analysis of one example provides unambiguous proof of the structure. Crystals of 2-mesityl-6,6-pentamethylene-1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane, 3c, are monoclinic, a = 11.076(9), b = 23.94(2), c = 13.414(9) Å, β = 109.40(5)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.051 and Rw = 0.058 for 2037 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2).

At room temperature Na4P2O7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 9.367(5), b = 5.390(2), c = 13.480(8) Å, and z = 4. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares using 1337 reflections measured with a Syntex Automatic diffractometer. The final R value is 0.022. The anion has nearly an eclipsed configuration with a P—O—P angle of 127.5(1)°. The two bridging P—O bond lengths are 1.631(2) and 1.642(2) Å with terminal P—O bond lengths averages of 1.512 and 1.514 Å on either side of the anion. Two of the four Na+ ions are coordinated to five oxygen atoms while the remainder are coordinated to six oxygen atoms. The structure contains chains of cations with four nearly collinear Na+ per cell paralleling the c axis. These are surrounded by six anions with the bridging oxygen atoms lying approximately at the corners of an octahedron with the P—P vector of the anion also paralleling the c axis. Adjacent anions along the c axis are separated by a pair of Na+ ions.

Alkaline chlorination of the 4-alkyl-2,6-dichlorophenols (2b) and (2c) proceeds through ring contraction and halolactonization to form the 4α- alkyl-2,2,5α-trichloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4-carbolactones (4b) and (4c). Under similar conditions, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol affords the analogous 2,2,4α,5α-tetrachloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4- carbolactone (4a) in low yield, in addition to the Hantzsch acid (3a) as the major product. The acid (3a) upon further treatment undergoes chloro-lactonization to give the lactone (4a). The structures of the lactones (4b) and (4c) follow from spectroscopic comparison with (4a), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction (C6H4Cl4O4 orthorhombic a 13.485(1), b 12.348(1), c 11.371(1) Ǻ, space group Pccn, Z 8, solved by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal and full-matrix least squares to R 0.031, Rw 0.043 for 1313 unique counter data with I/σ(I) ≥ 3.0).

The molecular and crystal structure of the [Pt(dien)Br]Br complex (dien = diethylenetriamine) has been studied by X-ray diffraction. The compound belongs to the orthorhombic Pca21 space group and the cell parameters are: a = 14.211, b = 4.940, c = 13.450 Å, and Z = 4. The refinement of the positional and anisotropic thermal parameters, carried out by full matrix least squares calculations, converged to R = 0.039 and Rw = 0.036.The coordination around the platinum atom is planar. The crystal consists of alternate layers of [Pt(dien)Br]+ cations and Br− ions parallel to the ac plane.
