Reactions of (η5-C9H7)Rh(η2-C2H4)2 (1) with quinones were investigated. Substitution of the labile ethylene ligands was observed upon addition of either duroquinone (2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone) or 1,4-benzoquinone to complex 1. The molecular structure of neutral (η5-C9H7)Rh(2,3,5,6-C6O2(CH3)4) (3), determined by X-ray diffraction, shows that the duroquinone ligand lies in a plane nearly parallel to the indenyl group. The carbonyl moieties of duroquinone lie in a plane incorporating Rh, C2, and the midpoint between C3a and C7a of the indenyl ring. The slip parameter (Δ= d(average Rh-C3a,7a) -d(average Rh-C1,3)) was calculated to be 0.112(2) Å; whereas a value of ca. 0.05 Å had been obtained previously from film data. Values for the hinge angle (HA = angle between normals to the least-squares planes defined by C1, C2, C3 and C1, C7a, C3a, C3) and fold angle (FA = angle between normals to the least-squares planes defined by C1, C2, C3 and C3a, C4, C5, C7, C7a) are 7.2° and 4.0°, respectively.Key words: indenyl, rhodium, quinones, ring-slippage, ground-state distortion.

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.

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.

The title compound 4-(2-(4,5-dimethyl-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)morpholine (DMTPM) was synthesized using a one-pot multicomponent approach. The molecular structure of the compound was charcterized with 1H & 13C NMR, HR-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the ground-state, DMTPM molecular geometry was determined using the DFT based on B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and compared to the experimental results. In addition, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) map and molecular frontier orbitals (MFO) were performed and the results obtained were compatible with the electronic properties.

The crystal structure of the complex Mn2(CO)8(dam) (dam = Ph2AsCH2AsPh2) has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, with a 11.191(1), b 16.498(5), c 9.455(1) �, a 93.64(2), β 109.08(2), γ 89.36(2)� and contain two discrete, binuclear molecules of Mn2(CO)8(dam) per unit cell. The structure, solved by direct and Fourier methods, was refined by a least-squares procedure to R and Rw of 0.065 and 0.082 respectively for 1907 independent, statistically significant reflections collected by counter methods. The feature of particular interest in this compound is the accommodation of the bridging bidentate dam ligand [As.. .As separation 3.242(2) �] across a shorter Mn�-Mn� bond [2.962(3) �] which constrains the molecule so that a much less staggered configuration of the two manganese coordination octahedra is observed relative to the parent compound Mn2(CO)10, the rotation of the two equatorial planes in the former being 30�.

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 molecular structure of R,S,R,S-[Ni {(-N(Me)(CH2)2N(Me)(CH2)3-)2} (OCHNMe2)](SO3CF3)2 has been determined in the solid state by X-ray diffraction methods. The geometry about nickel(11) is midway between square based pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal with OCHNMe2 occupying the axial or an equatorial site in these geometries respectively. The nickel(II) is displaced 0.29 � from the least-squares tetraaza plane on the same side as the four methyl groups and OCHNMe2. In OCHNMe2 solution the formation of this five-coordinate high-spin species by coordination of OCHNMe2 by its four-coordinate low-spin precursor is characterized by K(298.2 K) = 10 � 2, ∆H = -12.8 � 2.7 kJ mol-1 and ∆S = -24.1 � 9.O JK-l mol-1 as determined by spectrophotometry. 1H (300 MHz) n.m.r. studies show that kwx(298.2 K) = (1.6 � 0.2) × 107 s-1, ∆H‡ = 27.8 � 0.4 kJ mol-1 and ∆S‡ = -13.O � 2.0 JK-1 mol-1 characterize the exchange of OCHNMe2 on R,S,R,S-[Ni {(-N(Me)(CH2)2N(Me)(CH2)3-)2 }(OCHNMe2)]2+.

The crystal structure of N-acetylpiperidine-2-carboxylic acid has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.039 for 846 'observed' reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, with space group Pbca, a 13.684(6), b 11.602(4), c 11.171(4)Ǻ, Z 8. The ring is a chair structure in which, contrary to an earlier proposal based on 1H n.m.r. studies, there is almost perfect staggering about the C(2)-C(3) bond.
