1,2,4,5-Tetraphenyl-3,6-dicarbomethoxycyclohexa-1,4-diene crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I2/a (a non-standard setting of C2/c) with a = 20.052(2), b = 5.756(1), c = 22.782(2) Å, β = 95.73(1)°, and Z = 4. 1,2-Dicarbomethoxy-4,5-dimethylcyclohexa-1,4-diene crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 25.627(2), b = 11.240(1), c = 8.342(1) Å, and Z = 8. Both structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full matrix least-squares techniques to R = 0.040 and R = 0.036, respectively. Carbon–carbon double bond lengths are similar in the two compounds (1.326 and 1.333 Å, respectively), but the single bond lengths are significantly longer in l,2,4,5-tetraphenyl-3,6-dicarbomethoxycyclohexa-1,4-diene (1.518 Å) compared with the 1.493 Å average found in 1,2-dicarbomethoxy-4,5-dimethyl- cyclohexa-1,4-diene. This and the fact that there are also small deviations from planarity in the former compound are thought to be due to the presence of substituents on the methylenic carbon atoms.

The structures of two crystalline modifications of mer -(Pme2Ph)3H-cis-Cl2IrIII, (1), have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Modification (A) is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 12.635(1), b 30.605(3), c 14.992(2)Ǻ, β 110.01(2)° and Z = 8. Modification (B) is orthorhombic, space group Pbca with a 27.646(3), b 11.366(1), c 17.252(2)Ǻ and Z = 8. The structures were solved by conventional heavy atom techniques and refined by full-matrix least- squares analyses to conventional R values of 0.037 [(A), 8845 independent reflections] and 0.028 [(B), 5291 independent reflections]. Important bond lengths [Ǻ] are Ir -P(trans to Cl ) 2.249(1) av. (A) and 2.234(1) (B), Ir -P(trans to PMe2Ph) 2.339(2) av. (A) and 2.344(1), 2.352(1) (B), Ir-Cl (trans to H) 2.492(2), 2.518(2) (A) and 2.503(1) (B) and Ir-Cl (trans to PMe2Ph)2.452(2) av. (A) and 2.449(1)(B). Differences in chemically equivalent metal- ligand bond lengths emphasize the importance of non-bonded contacts in determining those lengths.

The structures of [Pt(S2CN(C2H5)2)2] (1) and [Pt(S2CN(C2H4OH)2)2] (2) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Compound (1) crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42/n, a 16.4692(10),c 6.2160(6) � (Z = 4); R was 0.029 for 1012 observed reflections. Compound (2) is monoclinic, space group Pc, a 6-0663(11), b 1.1784(15), c 12.5740(21) � ,β92.569(8)� (Z = 2); R was 0.019 for 1573 observed reflections. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups in the ligands of (2) appears to have little effect on the Pt-S distances but causes an increase in the C-N bond length, with the C-N bond lengths being significantly different at the 2 σ level.

Abstract The reactions of Mo(CO)6, W(CO)6 and Re(CO)6Br with the ligand l-thia-4,7-diazacyclononane (C6H14N2S = L) yield crystals of LMo(CO)3 (4a), LW(CO)3 (4b) and LRe(CO)3Br (5). A n improved synthesis of L has been developed, and the structures of 4a and 5 have been determined. Crystal data: 4a, monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 791.3(4), b - 1332.6(4), c = 1149.2(6) pm, β - 98.96(4)°, Z = 4.1841 reflexions, R = 0.045. 5, orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 1413.4(5), b = 1398.0(5), c = 1409.5(5) pm, Z = 8.2619 reflexions, R = 0.038. Both crystals contain pseudooctahedral LM(CO)3 moieties, with facial coordination of the CO molecules. The Re - N bond lengths (average 220.3(4) pm) are rather short. The structure of L 'Mo(CO)3 (3) with the acyclic ligand 1,7-diaza-4-thiaheptane (C4H10N2S = L') was also determined. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 682.8(2), b = 1213.0(3), c = 1253.0(3), β = 99.74°, Z = 4.1889 reflexions, R = 0.023.

The crystal structure of 1,4-diphenyl-2,2′,3,3′,5,5′,6,6′-octamethylcyclo-1,4-diphospha-2,3,5,6-tetrasilahexane, (PhPSi2Me4)2, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 9.866(1), b = 11.921(1), and c = 11.324(2) Å, β = 104.31(1)°, Z = 2, and ρcalcd = 1.15 g/cm3. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.060 and Rw of 0.078, for 1173 reflections with intensities greater than 3σ. The (PhPSi2Me4)2 molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry, and the six-membered P2Si4 ring has a chair conformation with equatorial phenyl groups. The endocyclic angles at P (104.4(1)°) and Si (104.9(2)°) are intermediate between those found in cyclic hexaphosphine and hexasilane molecules, and the Si—Si and P—Si distances of 2.345(3) and 2.252(4) Å, respectively, correspond to single bond lengths, with no appreciable evidence for secondary pπ → dπ bonding between phosphorus and silicon. The Si—C (1.867(8) Å) and P—C (1.828(7) Å) bond lengths are also normal. The variations in the Si—P—C (101.6(2)°, 108.6(2)°), P—Si—C (range 106.2(3)–120.0(3)°), and Si—Si—C (range 105.8(3)–113.7(3)°) angles indicate that the positions of the exocyclic methyl and phenyl groups are influenced by both intra- and intermolecular steric forces.

The reaction of N,N-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)naphthylamine C10H7-1-N(PPh2)2 with (C5H10NH)2Cr(CO)4 (1 : 1 molar ratio) in dichloromethane afforded cis-[Cr(CO)4{C10H7-1-N(PPh2)2}] (1). This complex was crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares techniques to an R factor of 0.0313 for 6488 observed reflections. The Cr-metal is coordinated by four terminal CO molecules and a P,P′-bidentate N,N-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)naphthylamine ligand in a distorted octahedral array. The N-atom adopts a planar geometry with the two P-atoms and C-atom attached to it. The four-membered metallacycle ring P2CrN is nearly planar.

Synthesis and 31P nmr spectra of the complex cations, cis-[PtCl(L)(PEt3)2]+, L= theophylline, caffeine, or isocaffeine, and cis[Pt(isocaff)2(PEt3)2]2+ are reported. The crystal structure of cis-[PtCl(caffeine)(PEt3)2][BF4] is determined, space group [Formula: see text], a = 1.1766(6), b = 1.4428(5), c = 0.9002(4) nm, α = 97.28(4)°, β = 97.69(4)°, γ = 100.96(5)°, Dm = 1.649 g cm−1, the bond lengths are Pt—Cl= 233.4(4) pm, Pt—N = 215(1) pm, Pt—P = 225.4(5) pm (mean), and the residual R = 0.071. The crystal structure of cis-[Pt(isocaffeine)2(PEt3)2][BF4]2 is orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 2.317(3), b = 1.717(3), c = 2.130(3) nm, Dm = 1.574 g cm−3, with an opposing isocaffeine conformation, bond lengths Pt—N = 211(2) pm, Pt—P = 227.6(9) pm (mean), and R = 0.073. Both crystal structures contain approximately square planar Pt(II) coordination with the purine coordinated via an imidazole nitrogen. The structures are discussed as models for the possible involvement of [Formula: see text] chelation of guanine to platinum when platinum drugs act as antitumour agents, but there is no evidence that isocaffeine acts as an [Formula: see text] chelate.

The syntheses and subsequent characterization of the complexes mer -trans-(PPri3)2(Pme2Ph)-Cl-cis-H2IrIII(1) and mer-trans-(PPri3)2(PMe2Ph)H3IrIII (2) by n.m.r. and by low temperature (153�5 K) X-ray diffraction analyses are reported. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, space group P21/c with a 19.277(2), b 9.020(1), c 17.657(2) Ǻ, β 101.40(1)° and Z 4. Crystals of (2) are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with a 19.373(3), b 18.724(2), c 8.113(1) Ǻ and Z 4. Full-matrix least-squares analyses converged with R = 0.027 and wR = 0.031 for (1) (3243 reflections), and R = 0.030 and wR = 0.038 for (2) (2892 reflections). Consistent with previous observation, the unit increase in chloride content (in place of hydride) in (1) is accompanied by a global lengthening of 0.036 Ǻ (av.) in the Ir -P bond lengths cf. those in (2). Also, because of increased steric crowding (two PPri3 ligands in place of two Pme2Ph), the Ir-PMe2Ph bond in (1) is 0.019(2) Ǻ longer than the chemically equivalent bond in mer-(PMe2Ph)3Cl-cis-H2IrIII. In previously reported complexes in this series metrically similar increases in Ir-PMe2Ph distances result from the replacement of just one Pme2Ph ligand by PPri3.

Crystal structures of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4,4-diphenyl-1,4-azaphosphorinanium perchlorate (I) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo-4-phenyl-1,4-azaphosphorinan-1-oxyl (II) were determined. Compound I crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 18.2967(7), b = 10.9413(6), c = 20.8714(13) Å, β = 90.79(1)° (at 115 K), and II crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pn21a with a = 8.076(1), b = 10.139(1), c = 17.894(1) Å. Intensity data were measured on a diffractometer at 115 K for I and at the room temperature for II. The structures were solved by a combination of heavy-atom and direct methods and refined to R = 0.036 (3968 reflections) for I and 0.039 (1451 reflections) for II.The azaphosphorinane ring adopts a chair conformation in both molecules, being flattened in the P part in I and in the N part in II. In molecule I the equatorial phenyl group is nearly parallel to the approximate plane of symmetry of the molecule, and the axial phenyl group is perpendicular to that plane. In molecule II the P=O bond is axial and the phenyl group is equatorial. The CN(O)C group is not planar. The N—O bond makes an angle of 18.0(3)° with the CNC plane. The CNC angle of 129.3(3)° is larger than that found in nitroxypiperidine analogues.

p-Diethylaminobenzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate, C10H14N3+•PF6−, crystallized in space group [Formula: see text] with a = 12.105(4), b = 12.340(5), c = 10.439(4) Å, α = 96.53(3), β = 104.11(3), γ = 64.44(3)°, and Z = 4. The structure was solved using direct methods and refined with full-matrix least-squares techniques on F, to a final R of 0.054 for 1917 reflections with F2 > 3σ(F2). The mean bond lengths for the diazo group are: N—N 1.096(6); C—N 1.357(7) Å. The geometry of the molecule is discussed in terms of the possible resonance forms and it is shown to be consistent with a form in which the N—N triple bond is essentially intact and the aminobenzene moiety has "quinoidal" character.
