Studies on the ABC + E ring construction of the pentacyclic triterpene skeleton are described. Acid-catalysed cyclisation of the mixture of diastereoisomers 11 led to preferential cyclisation of one isomer to 10-methoxy-2,2,4aβ,6aβ, 12bβ -pentamethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,6a, 6bα,7,8,12b,13,14-tetradecahydro-1-picenone (12). An X-ray analysis was performed on this compound which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c. There are four molecules in the unit cell which has dimensions a = 6.456(2), b = 42.518(6), c = 8.519(2) Å, β = 100.92(3)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal least-squares to a final R value of 0.042 for all 3234 observed reflections. The molecular structure found by X-ray diffraction confirms the stereochemical reasoning used in the synthetic steps.

3,5-Diphenyl-1,2-dithiolium-4-olate (1) reacts with aniline to form 1-phenylimino-2-phenylamino-3-phenylindene (3a). Under suitable conditions, 6-phenylbenzo[b]indeno[1,2-e]-1,2-thiazine is also formed. These structures are confirmed by alternative syntheses. The molecular structure of 3a has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 3a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with unit cell dimensions a = 20.777(3) Å, b = 6.130(3) Å, c = 31.327(3) Å, 3 = 99.59(1)°, and Z = 8. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to a final R = 0.055. The molecular structure of 3a shows the three phenyl containing substituents to have the planes of their ring systems tilted between 40° and 60° from the plane of the indene system due to steric repulsions.

The crystal and molecular structure of dithiocyanato(triphenylarsine)mercury(II) has been determined from X-ray diffraction data. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 10.290(7), b = 21.199(23), c = 10.719(7) Å, β = 112.00(2)°, and Z = 4. The structure has been solved by the heavy-atom method and refined by block-diagonal least-squares calculations. The agreement factor R obtained for 2607 'observed' reflections is 0.030. The crystal consists of single molecules. The 'characteristic' coordination number of mercury is three, with two sulfur and one arsenic atoms at the apexes of a triangle. The nitrogen atoms of the thiocyanate groups are at 2.67 and 2.74 Å from the adjoining mercury atoms and therefore link the different molecules together.

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.

A compound, obtained in large yields from the reaction of acetylacetone and oxodichloroethoxobis(triphenylphosphine)rhenium(V) in benzene, has been shown by single crystal X-ray diffraction to be cis-dichloropentane-2,4-dionato-trans-bis(triphenylphosphine)rhenium(III). The crystals are monoclinic with a = 13.06(1), b = 18.30(1), c = 16.55(1) Å, and β = 112.7(2)°. The space group is P21/c and there are four molecules per unit cell. A total of 3841 independent reflections, of which 2686 were observed, were examined by film methods, the intensities being measured with a microdensitometer. The structure was refined by full matrix least-squares analysis to an R2 value of 0.068. The ligands are arranged around the rhenium atom in the manner described by the compound name to give a rough octahedron of nearest neighbours and the Re—Cl (2.369 Å av.), Re—O (2.02 Å av.), and Re—P (2.474 Å av.) distances are as expected.

The reaction of tetrasulphur dinitride with norbornadiene produces the 1:1 adduct S4N2•C7H8; X-ray crystallographic analysis of this compound reveals that olefin addition cleaves one of the sulphur–sulphur bonds of S4N2, yielding a novel eight-membered C2S4N2 ring. Crystals of S4N2•C7H8 are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 6.127(1), b = 17.369(1), c = 9.580(1) Å, β = 106.74(1)°, V = 1003.8(5) Å3Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.039. The S—S—N—S—N—S fragment of the C2S4N2 ring is planar to within 0.15 Å. The S—C—C—S unit is folded out of this plane to produce a dihedral angle of 74.5°.

The crystal structure of dipyrrolidylthiuram disulfide has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques at 295 K. Crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, unit cell a 13.835(3), b 10.422(2), c 9.427(3) �, β 97.08(2)� and Z 4. Automatic diffractometry has provided significant Bragg intensities for 1402 independent reflections, and the structure has been refined by least-squares methods to R 0.037. The structure consists of discrete C4H8NC(S)S2C(S)NC4H8 molecules. Half of each molecule is crystallographically unique with distances S-S 2.002(1), and C-S 1.804(2) and 1.645(2) �. The dihedral angle between planar C2NC(S)S portions is 87.9�. The relevance of the derived structural parameters to the question of why the tris(pyrrolidine-1-carbodithioato)iron(III) complex is, uniquely, high spin is discussed.

One of a series of compounds obtained by the reaction of chloropentacarbonylrhenium(I) with β-diketones has been shown by single crystal X-ray diffraction to be bis(μ-O-1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dionatotricarbonylrhenium(I)). The crystals are monoclinic with lattice parameters a = 11.988(A) Å, b = 14.441(9) Å, c = 10.298(7) Å, β = 115.25(7)°. The space group is P21/c and there are two dimers per unit cell. A total of 1563 independent reflections were measured on a single crystal X-ray diffractometer and the structure was refined by least squares analysis to a weighted R2 value of 0.0427. The dimer units are held together by two bridging oxygen atoms, one from each of the β-ketoenolate groups; the distance of the bridging oxygen from the rhenium atom to which it is chelated (2.162(9) Å) is shorter than the distance to the other rhenium atom (2.204(7) Å). The main part of the β-ketoenolate ring is 37° from the OReO plane.
