The disproportionation of the complex (Et2N)3Ti(μ-PCy2)Ni(PPh3) affords the coordinatively unsaturated species Ni(PPh3)3, 1. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text], with a = 18.483(4) Å, b = 16.203(3) Å, c = 17.783(4) Å, α = 105.85(2)°, β = 117.33(3)°, γ = 92.33(3)°, Z = 4, and V = 4464(2) Å3. Full-matrix least-squares refinement of 1042 variables using 6484 data (Fo2 > 3σFo2) gave R = 0.0441 and Rw = 0.0438. The two crystallographically independent molecules are essentially identical, each exhibiting a trigonal planar coordination sphere at Ni. The most interesting feature of the structure is the close approach (2.744–3.094 Å) of three ortho hydrogens of the PPh3 groups to the Ni centres. The implications of the structural data regarding ortho metallation and the known instability of 1 are discussed. Keywords: coordinatively unsaturated, nickel phosphine complex.

Using 1032 unique reflections with I > 3σ(I), the structural data were refined by full matrix least-squares techniques to R = 0.038. The molecule was found to be in the anti-configuration. All bond lengths within the highly strained central tricyclic framework were equal within experimental error and average 1.531 Å.

Fusion invacuo of complexes of the type P2Pt(SR)2 is a facile route to dimers of the type [PPt(SR)(μ-SR)]2; thus, the compounds cis-P2Pt(SR)2, where P = PPh3, PMePh2, R = CH2Ph and trans-P2Pt(SR)2, where P = PPh3, PMePh2, PMe2Ph, R = 4-C6H4CH3 gave the appropriate dimers 1–5. A three-dimensional X-ray structure analysis of the complex [(PMePh2)Pt(SCH2Ph)(μ-SCH2Ph)]2, 2, has shown that it has cis geometry with the benzyl groups of the bridging thiolato ligands oriented anti with respect to each other. The dihedral angle between the two square planes is 138.8°. Crystals of 2 are triclinic, space group [Formula: see text], with two molecules in a cell of dimensions a = 10.856(3) Å, b = 19.935(5) Å, c = 12.202(4) Å, α = 82.52(2)°, β = 105.18(2)°, and γ = 92.35(2)°. Full-matrix least-squares refinement converged at R = 0.052.

Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-l-pyrazolyl)(ethanolamino)gallato(N(2),O,N(3))](η3-cycloheptatrienyl)dicarbonylmolybdenum are monoclinic, a = 10.511(1), b = 8.335(1), c = 24.138(3) Å, β = 102.22(1)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was reflned by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.028 and Rw = 0.046 for 3708 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The crystal structure consists of discrete molecules linked by N—H … O hydrogen bonds (N … O = 2.929(5) Å). The Mo atom is in a distorted octahedral environment with the η3-C7H7 ligand occupying one coordination site, trans to the amino nitrogen, as a π-donating ligand. Important bond distances (corrected for libration) are: Mo—O, 2.245(2), Mo—N(amino), 2.249(3), Mo—N(pyrazolyl), 2.270(3), Mo—C(O), 1.950(4) and 1.947(4), Mo—C(C7H7), 2.176(4), 2.364(4), and 2.380(4), Ga—O, 1.919(3), Ga—N, 1.984(3), and Ga—C, 1.982(5) and 1.983(5) Å. An unusual type of disorder is present in which a second image of the molecule, approximately mirrored by the plane y = 1/4, is in evidence at low occupancy.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined from X-ray data collected on a four-circle diffractometer and refined by the full-matrix least-squares method. The former compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn, with a = 14.346(8), b = 7.239(1), c = 17.276(2) Å, and has been refined to a conventional R factor of 0.043 for 890 observed reflections. Corresponding results for the latter compound are monoclinic, P21/n, a = 12.222(4), b = 7.482(2), c = 14.170(8) Å, β = 94.06(4)°, R = 0.060 for 2128 observed data. The triazine rings of both compounds exhibit short N(1)—N(2) bonds and tetrahedral geometry at C(4); however, the ring is puckered in the first compound but flat in the second. Molecules in both crystals are linked by [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds.
