The crystal structure of cis-anti-cis-4,5:9,10-biscyclohexano-1,3,6,8-tetraoxecane (2) has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 11.120(1), b = 8.127(1), c = 7.990(1) Å, β = 110.01(1)°, P21/c, with Z = 2. The structure was solved by the application of symbolic addition procedures and refined to a final R value of 0.031 (Rw 0.040) for 989 reflections with I > 2.0σ(I).This structural determination confirms a previous tentative assignment of the relative configuration of 2. In the crystal, the two cis-substituted cyclohexane rings adopt chair conformations in which the equatorial oxygens on different rings are linked through methylene groups to axial oxygens on the other rings. The central 10-membered tetraoxecane ring adopts the boat–chair–boat conformation, the most stable conformation for cyclodecane.

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.

5-Ethyl-5,6-dihydro-11H-dibenzo[b,e]azepine-6-thione has been synthesized and studied in the solid state and in solution by X-ray diffraction and 1H DNMR, respectively. The crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a = 9.642(1), b = 13.757(2), c = 9.889((2) Å, β = 98.57(1)°, Z = 4. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to an R value of 0.040 for 1771 reflections with I > 2.5σ(I). The seven-membered ring has a slightly deformed boat conformation. The activation barrier associated with the inversion ring has been determined, being ΔG≠ = 21.6 kcal/mol.

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.

Reaction of sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran with the hydrogen-bonded phosphinito complex, [PtCl(PEt3){(PPh2O)2H}], gives a solution of the salt, [PtCl(PEt3){(PPh2O)2Na}], which is a precusor to synthesis of other bimetallic derivatives, [PtCl(PEt3){(μ-PPh2O)2Q}]n+: n = 0, Q = Rh(COD) or Ir(COD); n = 1, Q = Pd(PEt3)2 or Pt(PEt3)2. Detailed 31P and 195Pt nmr studies are reported for these and related examples including a titanium complex (n = 0, Q = Ti(acac)Cl2) synthesised by direct reaction of [PtCl(PEt3){(PPh2O)2H}] with [TiCl2(acac)2]. The diplatinurn complex, [Cl(PEt3)Pt(μ-PPh2O)2Pt(PEt3)2][BF4] crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a = 13.018(2), b = 34.205(9), c = 11.279(2) Å, β = 91.71(2)°. A complete X-ray diffraction study shows that the two platinum centres are significantly non-planar and are linked by the phosphinito ligands to form a six-membered ring in a boat conformation with phosphorus and oxygen atoms forming the prows of the boat.

The crystal structure of syn-2,11-dithia[3,3]metacyclophane, C16H16S2, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an R-value of 0.049. The crystal is monoclinic with cell dimensions a = 1898.2(5), b = 795.7(3), c = 924.1(4) pm, β = 100.03°(4). The space group is P21/n with 4 molecules per cell, Dm = 1.34 g cm−3, Dc = 1.317 g cm−3. Of several possible syn conformations, the molecule is found in that with the largest S—S distance of 697.4 pm. The benzenoid rings form a dihedral angle of 20.6°. The distance between the pair of aromatic H atoms which are ortho to two methylene groups is 273.0 pm, with 305.2 pm between the carbon atoms to which they are attached. Small angular distortions are observed at these carbon atoms. Mean bond lengths are: C—S 181.0(12), C—C (aromatic) 138.5(8), C—C (bridge) 151.0(11) pm. Mean bond angles are: C—S—C 104°(1), S—C—C 115.4°(9). The C—C—C angles are in the range 117.9–122.7°. The molecule possesses an approximate (non-crystallographic) 2-fold axis of symmetry passing through the midpoints of C(8)—C(18) and C(4)—C(14). The aromatic rings are planar, with the methylene carbons 5–11 pm out of plane on the sulphur side. The S(1) is 171.8(2) pm from plane 1 and 136.8(2) pm from plane 2, while for S(2) the corresponding values are 136.0(2) and 175.3(2) respectively.1Hmr data have been re-examined and compared with those obtained for other cyclophanes, together with 13Cmr data and are consistent with the fact that in solution 2,11-dithia[3,3]metacyclophane, 1, exists as the syn-conformer with no appreciable participation of the anti-conformer. All related dithia[3,3]metacyclophanes which have internal aryl hydrogens (i.e., no internal substituents) likewise appear to be syn from 1Hmr data.

One of the compounds obtained by the reaction of rhenium(III) chloride with n-butyric acid while exposed to oxygen has been shown by single crystal X-ray diffraction to be tetra-μ-n-butyratodi-rhenium(III) diperrhenate. The crystals are triclinic with lattice parameters a = 7.836(8) Å, b = 10.746(8) Å, c = 8.773(8) Å, α = 88.9(1)°, β = 106.5(1)°, and γ = 98.0(1)°. The space group is [Formula: see text] and there is one formula unit per cell. A total of 1593 independent reflections were examined and the structure was refined by full 3-dimensional least-squares to an R value of 0.123. Two rhenium environments are found, one consisting of a dimer unit bridged by 4 carboxylate groups and the other a per-rhenate group. This latter group, showing a mean Re—O distance of 1.75 Å, shares an oxygen atom with a rhenium atom in the dimer unit, and this Re—O bond length is 2.18 Å long. The structure results from packing of short chains, consisting of the dimer unit and the 2 perrhenate groups, running roughly parallel to the [111] direction.

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 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 molecular structures of exo-7-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, 3, and the endo-7-methyl isomer, 4, have been determined using X-ray-diffraction techniques. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 15.115(1), c = 7.677(2) Å, and Z = 8 while 4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 6.446(1), b = 7.831(1), c = 8.414(2) Å, β = 94.42(2)°, and Z = 2. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to final agreement factors of R = 0.041 and R = 0.034 for 3 and 4 respectively. Compound 3 exists in a chair–chair conformation and there is no significant flattening of the chair rings. However, in 4, the non-ketone ring is forced into a boat conformation. These results are significant in interpreting what conformations may be present in the related sp2-hybridized carbocations.

Bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 (n = 0, 1) were prepared by the reactions of the corresponding carboranyl acyl chlorides with ethylenediamine. Crystal molecular structure of 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C-1,2-C2B10H11)2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Treatment of bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 with ammonium or cesium fluoride results in partial deboronation of the ortho-carborane cages to the nido-carborane ones with formation of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2−. The attempted reaction of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)CCH2-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2− with GdCl3 in 1,2-dimethoxy- ethane did not give the expected metallacarborane. The stability of different conformations of Gd-containing metallacarboranes has been estimated by quantum-chemical calculations using [3,3-μ-DME-3,3′-Gd(1,2-C2B9H11)2]− as a model. It was found that in the most stable conformation the CH groups of the dicarbollide ligands are in anti,anti-orientation with respect to the DME ligand, while any rotation of the dicarbollide ligand reduces the stability of the system. This makes it possible to rationalize the design of carborane ligands for the synthesis of gadolinium metallacarboranes on their base.
