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 room-temperature single-crystal X-ray structural characterization of the title compound (tpyH2)2[Tb(OH2)8]Cl7.~2⅓H2O is recorded. Crystals are triclinic, Pī , a 17.063(5), b 16.243(3), c 7.878(3) Ǻ, α 84.78(2), β 84.39(3), γ 87.81(2)°, Z = 2 formula units; 3167 'observed' diffractometer reflections were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a residual of 0.057. Notable features of interest of the compound are the 'chelation' of chloride ions by the terpyridinium cations , and the existence of a free [Tb(OH2)8]2+ cation in the presence of an abundance of chloride ions.

(3aRS,4RS,6RS,8aSR)-5-Methyleneoctahydro-4H-3a,6-methanoazulene-4-carboxylic acid (7) has been synthesized and a detailed comparison made between its molecular structure and that of gibberellic acid (4). Indane-5-carboxylic acid (8) was converted by an alternating sequence of reduction and isomerization into the hydrindene acid (11). The diazomethyl ketone derived from (11) was transformed to cyclopropyl ketone (12) which was reduced by Li/NH3 with stereochemical inversion at the β-carbon to give a 1:3 mixture of ketones (13) and (14) respectively. Ketone (14) was then converted into the title acid (7) by a standard procedure. ��� Molecules of (7) crystallize in space group P2/c with a 7.782(1), b 11.055(1), c 14.559(3) Ǻ, β 116.05(1)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares to a final R value of 0.053.

A crystalline complex of tetrathiafulvalene and p-dinitrobenzene has been prepared and characterised by esr and ir spectroscopy, bulk magnetic susceptibility, dc conductivity, and an X-ray diffraction analysis. It is a neutral 1:1 complex which is an insulator at room temperature, σRT = 2.5 × 10−7 ohm−7 cm−1. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group [Formula: see text] with cell constants a = 6.915(1), b = 7.615(1), c = 8.149(1) Å, α = 79.39(1), β = 69.55(1), γ = 70.81(1)°, Z = 1. Data were collected on an Enraf-Nonius CAD-4 diffractometer. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to an R-value of 0.028 for 1222 observed reflections. The structure consists of molecules stacked in an alternating donor–acceptor fashion along the c-axis. Mixed sheets parallel to [Formula: see text] are comprised of tetrathiafulvalene and p-dinitrobenzene molecules arranged end-on in the [021] direction.

Abstract trans-Dichloro(ethanedial-dioximato)(ethanediaI-dioxime)rhodium (III), RhCl2(GH)(GH2), has been synthesized and its structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at room temperature. C4H7Cl2N4O4Rh, Mr = 348.94. monoclinic space group P21/ɑ; a = 10.543(3), b = 8.363(2), c = 11.512(3)Å ; β = 92.79(2)°; V = 1024Å3; Z = 4; Dc = 2.26 Mg m-3. Final Rw = 0.075 for 2035 reflections and 139 parameters. The coordination geometry around Rh is a dis­torted (4+2) octahedron, with four chelating N atoms lying in the equatorial plane and the two Cl atoms in the apical positions. The H atoms of the oxime groups are involved in relatively weak intramolecular O-H-O bridgings, as well as in very strong intermolecular bridgings which extend throughout the crystal structure and propagate nearly parallel to the [101] crystallographic direction.

Alkaline chlorination of the 4-alkyl-2,6-dichlorophenols (2b) and (2c) proceeds through ring contraction and halolactonization to form the 4α- alkyl-2,2,5α-trichloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4-carbolactones (4b) and (4c). Under similar conditions, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol affords the analogous 2,2,4α,5α-tetrachloro-1α,3α-dihydroxycyclopentane-1,4- carbolactone (4a) in low yield, in addition to the Hantzsch acid (3a) as the major product. The acid (3a) upon further treatment undergoes chloro-lactonization to give the lactone (4a). The structures of the lactones (4b) and (4c) follow from spectroscopic comparison with (4a), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction (C6H4Cl4O4 orthorhombic a 13.485(1), b 12.348(1), c 11.371(1) Ǻ, space group Pccn, Z 8, solved by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal and full-matrix least squares to R 0.031, Rw 0.043 for 1313 unique counter data with I/σ(I) ≥ 3.0).

The Cu(I) complex [Me2Ga(OCH2CH2NMe2)N2C5H7]Cu•PPh3 has been synthesized and its fluxional behavior in solution probed. Attempts have been made to isolate the analogous Cu(I) carbonyl complex. Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)(N,N-dimethylethanolamino)gallato (N(2),O,N(3))](triphenylphosphine)copper(I) are monoclinic, a = 18.871(2), b = 9.464(1), c = 18.374(2) Ā, β = 109.62(1)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.028 and Rw = 0.035 for 2729 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The copper atom is bonded to the phosphine and to the tridentate Me2Ga(OCH2CH2NMe2)N2C5H7− ligand resulting in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The Cu—P distance of 2.156(1) Å is unusually short. Other important bond distances (corrected for libration) are: Cu—O, 2.163(2), Cu—N(pyrazolyl), 2.025(3), Cu—N(amino), 2.144(3), Ga—O, 1.896(3), Ga—N, 2.005(3), and Ga—C, 1.972(5) and 1.987(5) Å.

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.
