(PyH)2[MoOCl5] was obtained in the form of emerald green crystals unintentionally from (PyH)5[MoOCl4(H2O)]3Cl2 in acetonitrile. (PyH)2[MoOCl5] has been used as a starting material in molybdenum(V) coordination chemistry for decades, yet its true identity has not been known until now. The X-ray structure analysis has undoubtedly confirmed the existence of this compound. The [MoOCl5]2− ion displays the usual structural characteristics of the mononuclear MoO3+-containing compounds.

A broad range of azobenzene derivates of the general type I-p-C6H4-N=N-p-C6H4-X (1) have been prepared. In the case of X = Ph (b), C≡C-Fc (e, Fc = ferrocenyl), OMe (g), Oi-Pr (i), and NMe2 (m), these compounds have been characterised by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. In addition, the closely related 4-dimethylamino-1-(4-iodophenylazo)naphthalene 2 and 8-(4-iodophenylazo) quinoline 3 have also been prepared. Furthermore, the ferrocene derivative Fc-C≡C-p-C6H4- NH2 (4), which served as a starting material for the synthesis of I-p-C6H4-N=N-p-C6H4-p-C6H4- C≡C-Fc (1e), was prepared and structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction.

The possible nature of p-t-butyl-calix [6] arene complexes of lanthanide elements has been explored by determination of the single-crystal X-ray structure of a complex with a 1:2 europium/ ligand ratio, obtained from dimethylformamide (dmf ≡ Me2NCHO) solution. This complex is formulated as [ Eu (LH4)(Me2NCHO)6(OH)].LH6.~4Me2NCHO (LH6 = p-t-butyl-calix [6] arene) on the basis of the structure determination. Crystals are monoclinic, P21/n, a 36.11(3), b 23.35(2), c 21.85(2)Ǻ, β 97.46(6)°, Z = 4 formula units; R was 0.11 for 8488 'observed' reflections. The complex is remarkable in that the only interaction of either of the two calixarene ligands (one presumably doubly or triply deprotonated ) with the eight-coordinate europium atom is by way of one behaving as monodentate, the other having no interaction. Eu -O( calix ) is 2.35(1) Ǻ; Eu -O( dmf )6 range from 2.38(2) to 2.49(2)Ǻ, and Eu -O(H ½?) is 2.49(2)Ǻ.

Isocyanoazulenes (CNAz) constitute a relatively new class of isocyanoarenes that offers rich structural and electronic diversification of the organic isocyanide ligand platform. This article considers a series of 2-isocyano-1,3-X2-azulene ligands (X = H, Me, CO2Et, Br, and CN) and the corresponding zero-valent complexes thereof, [(OC)5Cr(2-isocyano-1,3-X2-azulene)]. Air- and thermally stable, X-ray structurally characterized 2-isocyano-1,3-dimethylazulene may be viewed as a non-benzenoid aromatic congener of 2,6-dimethyphenyl isocyanide (2,6-xylyl isocyanide), a longtime “workhorse” aryl isocyanide ligand in coordination chemistry. Single crystal X-ray crystallographic {Cr–CNAz bond distances}, cyclic voltametric {E1/2(Cr0/1+)}, 13C NMR {δ(13CN), δ(13CO)}, UV-vis {dπ(Cr) → pπ*(CNAz) Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer}, and FTIR {νN≡C, νC≡O, kC≡O} analyses of the [(OC)5Cr(2-isocyano-1,3-X2-azulene)] complexes provided a multifaceted, quantitative assessment of the π-acceptor/σ-donor characteristics of the above five 2-isocyanoazulenes. In particular, the following inverse linear relationships were documented: δ(13COtrans) vs. δ(13CN), δ(13COcis) vs. δ(13CN), and δ(13COtrans) vs. kC≡O,trans force constant. Remarkably, the net electron withdrawing capability of the 2-isocyano-1,3-dicyanoazulene ligand rivals those of perfluorinated isocyanides CNC6F5 and CNC2F3.

Single crystals of Ca11N6[CN2]2 (dark red needles, tetragonal, P42/mnm (no. 136), a = 1456.22(5), and c = 361.86(2) pm, Z = 2), Ca4N2[CN2] (transparent yellow needles, orthorhombic, Pnma (no. 62), a = 1146.51(11), b = 358.33(4), and c = 1385.77(13) pm, Z = 4) and Ca[CN2] (transparent, colorless, triangular plates, rhombohedral, R3̅m (no. 166), a = 369.00(3), and c = 1477.5(3) pm, Z = 3) were obtained by the reaction of Na2[CN2], CaCl2 and Ca3N2 (if demanded by stoichiometry) in arc-welded Ta ampoules at temperatures between 1200 - 1400 K. Their crystal structures were re-determined by means of single crystal X-ray structure analyses. Additionally, the Raman spectra were recorded on these same single crystals, whereas the IR spectra were obtained with the KBr pellet technique. The title compounds exhibit characteristic features for carbodiimide units with D∞h symmetry (d(C-N) = 121.7 - 123.8 pm and ∡ (N-C-N) = 180°). The vibrational frequencies of these units are in the expected range (Ca11N6[CN2]2: νs = 1230, νs = 2008; δ = 673/645/624 cm−1; Ca4N2[CN2]: νs = 1230, νs = 1986; δ = 672/647 cm−1; Ca[CN2]: νs = 1274, νs = 2031, δ = 668 cm−1). The structural results are more precise than the previously reported data, and with the newly attained Raman spectrum of Ca11N6[CN2]2 we correct data reported earlier.

The synthesis and characterization of three metalla-rectangles of the general formula [Ru4(η6-p-cymene)4(μ4-clip)2(μ2-Lanthr)2][CF3SO3]4 (Lanthr: 9,10-bis(3,3’-ethynylpyridyl) anthracene; clip = oxa: oxalato; dobq: 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzoquinonato; donq: 5,8-dioxido-1,4-naphthoquinonato) are presented. The molecular structure of the metalla-rectangle [Ru4(η6-p-cymene)4(μ4-oxa)2(μ2-Lanthr)2]4+ has been confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of [Ru4(η6-p-cymene)4(μ4-oxa)2(μ2-Lanthr)2][CF3SO3]4 · 4 acetone (A2 · 4 acetone), thus showing the anthracene moieties to be available for reaction with oxygen. While the formation of the endoperoxide form of Lanthr was observed in solution upon white light irradiation, the same reaction does not occur when Lanthr is part of the metalla-assemblies.

Well-shaped brown and pink isometric crystals were obtained as by-products of the synthesis of erbium selenides from the elements in evacuated and sealed silica ampoules with graphite inlets. They could be identified as erbium seleno mono- and disilicates by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and X-ray structure determination. The monosilicate Er2SeSiO4 crystallizes isotypically to Nd2SeSiO4 in the space group Pbcm with the lattice parameters a = 600.2(2), b = 688.0(2), c = 1075.2(2) pm and represents the second known seleno inosilicate of the rare earths. From X-ray structure analysis an isotypic relation between the disilicate Er3,75Ca0,25Se2,75Cl0,25Si2O7 and the compound Sm4S3Si2O7 was found, the former crystallizing in the space group I41/amd with the lattice parameters a - 1177.7(2) and c = 1376.5(2) pm. The doping o f the sorosilicate with the elements Ca and Cl originated from contam inations in the graphit inlets used in the procedure
