The crystal structure of trans-sys-trans-4,5:9,10-biscyclohexano-1,3,6,8-tetraoxecane (1) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 10.995(2), b = 5.291(1), c = 12.241(2) Å, β = 114.68(1)°, P21/c, with Z = 2. The structure was solved by the application of symbolic addition procedures and refined with anisotropic thermal parameters for all atoms to a final R value of 0.039 (Rw 0.062) for 1135 independent reflections.The ten-membered tetraoxecane ring is present in the crystal in a boat-chair-boat (BCB) conformation, which is somewhat different in geometry than the BCB conformations observed for cyclodecane derivatives. The causes of these differences are discussed. Intramolecular non-bonded interactions cause one CH2 group to be significantly distorted from local C2v symmetry.

The crystal structure of trans-anti-trans-4,5:9,10-biscyclohexano-1,3,6,8-tetraoxecane (3) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 11.919(3), b = 17.330(7), c = 7.019(2) Å, β = 98.91(1)°, P21/c, with Z = 4. The structure was solved by application of the tangent formula and refined by large block least squares to a final R value of 0.060 (Rw = 0.058).The ten-membered ring is present in the crystal in a twist-chair-boat-chair conformation — one which has been calculated to be relatively unstable for cyclodecane. Possible reasons why 3 adopts this conformation are discussed.

The crystal structure of syn-[4.4.3]propella-2,4,12-trien-11-ol 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, 2, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an R value of 0.051. The crystal structure is triclinic with a = 10.208(2), b = 13.355(2), c = 7.068(1) Å, α = 99.35(1)°, β = 100.63(1)°, γ = 100.79(1)°, and the space group is [Formula: see text] with two molecules per cell, D(calcd) = 1.39 g cm−3. The unsaturated five-membered ring resides in an envelope conformation with C6—C11—C12—C13 lying essentially in a plane. The fifth atom, C1, is positioned 0.47 Å out of this plane on the side opposite O1. The latter is situated 1.38 Å away and projects the 3,5-dinitrobenzoate group above the central portion of the cyclohexadiene unit. Four contiguous carbon atoms in the latter ring are mutually coplanar and the fused cyclohexane ring adopts a chair conformation. The overall molecular geometry is reconcilable with its solvolytic behavior in aqueous acetone.

The crystal structure of syn-2,11-diselena[3,3]metacyclophane, 1a, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an R-value of 0.039. The crystal structure is monoclinic with a = 1926(1), b = 801.4(3), c = 924(1) pm, β = 98.9(1)°, and is isomorphous with that of the analogous sulphur compound. The space group is P21/n with 4 molecules per cell, D(meas) = 1.733 g cm−3, D(calcd) = 1.726 g cm−3. The molecule has the syn-conformation with the largest possible Se—Se distance of 721.8 pm. The benzenoid rings form a dihedral angle of 19.1°. The distance between the internal aryl hydrogen atoms on rings 1 and 2 is 285.1 pm. The internal aryl C atoms are 314.6 pm apart. The 1Hmr solution spectra of 1a are consistent with the solid state structure, and can be explained without involving equilibration with an anti-conformer.

Abstract The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Due to the Lewis acidic character of the iodine substituent a “zig-zag” chain is formed via intermolecular interactions (2.933(4) A) between iodine and oxygen atoms of theocarbamate moiety. A three-dimensional network is formed through hydrogen-bridging (2.04 A) between NH-groups and the oxygen atoms of the neighbouring carbamate group of the next molecule.

Based upon the experimentally known but yet unexplained very different reactivities of the two isoelectronic and isolobal intermediates Pt(PMe3)2 and Pt(PEt3)2, the electronic structure and bonding capability of such 14 electron fragments as a function of their geometry (P-Pt-P angle α, determined by the phosphane cone angle) are investigated using molecular orbital calculations. A decrease of the P-Pt -P angle leads to an exceptionally pronounced energy ascent of the b2-HOMO of Pt(PR3)2 species, which, as a consequence, might lead to unusual reactivity patterns and bonding capabilities of 1,3-diphosphaplatinacyclobutane fragments, for which an extreme electronic situation is enforced by steric constraints. Dichloro[η2-bis(di-r-butylphosphino) methane]platinum(II), Pt(dtbpm)Cl2, is synthesized as a potential precursor of Pt(dtbpm), in order to allow experimental investigations of this taylor made four-membered ring chelate complex of Pt(0). The crystal and molecular structure of Pt(dtbpm)Cl2 · 2 CHCl3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction.

The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group C222, with a = 9.226, b = 12.092, c = 16.513 Å, Z = 4. A single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that the title compound, in which all carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized, exists with the ten membered ring in a slightly twisted tub conformation. The 13C nmr spectrum is also reported.

Abstract trans-Dichloro(ethanedial-dioximato)(ethanediaI-dioxime)rhodium (III), RhCl2(GH)(GH2), has been synthesized and its structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at room temperature. C4H7Cl2N4O4Rh, Mr = 348.94. monoclinic space group P21/ɑ; a = 10.543(3), b = 8.363(2), c = 11.512(3)Å ; β = 92.79(2)°; V = 1024Å3; Z = 4; Dc = 2.26 Mg m-3. Final Rw = 0.075 for 2035 reflections and 139 parameters. The coordination geometry around Rh is a dis­torted (4+2) octahedron, with four chelating N atoms lying in the equatorial plane and the two Cl atoms in the apical positions. The H atoms of the oxime groups are involved in relatively weak intramolecular O-H-O bridgings, as well as in very strong intermolecular bridgings which extend throughout the crystal structure and propagate nearly parallel to the [101] crystallographic direction.

Abstract The crystal structure of the known title compound was determined by low-temperature X-ray diffraction (orthorhombic, space group Pbcn, Z = 4). The molecule displays an unusually short O-N bond, a relatively long C-O bond and a moderately pyramidal O-NS2 skeleton (O-N 133.1, C-O 148.5 pm, sum of bond angles at N: 347.4°).
