The crystal structure of a chiral m-cyclophane, the α-isomer of (S)-α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetate ester of 13-(methoxycarbonyl)-14-hydroxy-17-methyl-[11]-m-cyclophane (C30H37O5F3, FW = 534.62) has been solved by direct methods and refined by a least-squares procedure to a final R = 0.048 for 2756 independent reflections. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic system, a = 10.8077(13), b = 13.676(3), c = 19.060(4) Å, V = 2817.2 Å3, Z = 4, and the space group is P212121. The absolute configuration of the chiral plane, using the S-configuration of the α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetate ester as reference, is found to be S, in agreement with the X-ray result. The 14-membered ring has the slightly distorted rectangular conformation that has been described by Dale as the rectangular diamond-lattice conformation [3434]. The distortions, also observed in similar 14-membered rings, have been successfully approximated by molecular mechanics calculations.

The structure of [(t-BuP)3Cr(CO)5], C17CrH27O5P3, has been determined by single crystal X-ray techniques, solved by ‘direct methods', and refined to R = 0.048, wR = 0.050 for 3657 reflections by blocked least squares. The compound crystallizes in the space group P 21/c with a = 1664.9 pm, b = 916.5 pm , c = 3089.8 pm, β= 91.45° and Z = 8 formula units. The structure consists of two crystallographically independent but structurally nearly identical mononuclear [(t-BuP)3Cr(CO)5] complexes with the three-membered ring (t-BuP)3 as an unidentate σ-donor ligand. Compared to the free molecule (t-BuP)3 the cyclophosphane ligand is slightly distorted on account of its coordination to the Cr(CO)5-group.

Methanol extraction of the ground seeds of Uncaria Gambier Roxb. followed by chromatography afforded a crystalline C30H38O10 terpene. This has been shown by X-ray analysis to be 7α-acetoxydihydronomilin. The crystals are orthorhombic, P212121, a = 13.158(2), b = 17.092(2), c = 12.689(2) Å, Z = 4, dx = 1.300, do = 1.300 g cm−3. The structure has been determined by the direct method and Fourier syntheses, and refined by block-diagonal least-squares to R = 0.042 for 2621 observed reflexions. The molecule contains a seven-membered lactone ring A, three six-membered rings B, C, D, a three-membered ring E, a furan ring F, and two acetate groups. A and B are chair, C is twist-boat, D is 1,3-diplanar, while E and F are planar. The A/B, A/C, C/D junctions are trans, D/E is cis, and F is linked to D by an equatorial C—C bond. The two acetate groups are in axial positions on A and B and are cis to each other. The O atom forming the apex of the three-membered ring is wedged between two H atoms and their parent C atoms at short intramolecular distances O … H = 2.28(2) and 2.28(3), and O … C = 2.623(3) and 2.668(4) Å. No intermolecular hydrogen bonding is indicated.

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by direct methods from X-ray diffraction data and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.071 for 2647 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, C2/c, a = 36.81(1), b = 11.181(2), c = 20.369(5) �, β = 95.28(3)�, Z = 32. There are four independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, all with the cis disposition of ligands (<Fe-Hg), 2.498 �; <Hg-Fe-Hg), 80.9�); in one of the molecules one of the carbonyl sites is occupied by a more substantial moiety, possibly a result of partial occupancy of HgCl as a result of disorder or decomposition.

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 room-temperature reaction of Me3Ga with benzimidazole 2-carboxylic acid in xylene solvent has yielded a novel crystalline hexameric gallium compound with "MeGa" moieties bridged by the doubly depronotated ligand precursor. Crystals of [MeGa(4,5-benzimidazolato-2-carboxylato)]6·(C6H6)·(m-Me2C6H4)2 are monoclinic, a = 18.091(2), b = 17.094(2), c = 13.2215(5) Å, Z = 2, space group C2/m. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R (F, I [Formula: see text] 3σ(I)) = 0.064 (Rw (F2, all data) = 0.134). The hexameric Ga complex contains a six-membered ring of Ga atoms, bridged by the benzimidazolate ligands with the benzo rings projecting alternately above and below the Ga plane, thus forming a ball-shaped molecule. The complex could have ideal D3d symmetry, but it contains an encapsulated molecule of benzene, which distorts the regularity of the Ga6 hexagon, and reduces the symmetry of the complex to the crystallographically observed C2h. The coordination geometry at each of the two independent GaO2N2C centres approximates a trigonal bipyramid, with a N2C trigonal plane, and the O atoms above and below; average dimensions are Ga-O = 2.176(2), Ga-N = 1.973(3), Ga-C = 1.927(5) Å, O-Ga-O = 165°. The unit cell also contains four m-xylene solvent molecules (outside the molecular cage).Key words: gallium, crystal structure, benzene intercalate, benzimidazolecarboxylic acid.

The crystal structure of zerumbone, C15H22O, extracted from the rhizomes of Zingiber zerumbet Smith, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.051 for 925 'observed' reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 9.036(3), b 9.712(5), c 15.643(6) �, β 97.19(3)�, Z = 4. Although the molecule has no chiral centre, the presence of the three trans double bonds confers considerable distortion and rigidity on the eleven-membered ring and renders the whole molecule chiral and potentially resolvable.
