Abstract A peculiar lack of olefinic reactivity, combined with a facility for cyclization of methyl and ethyl Δ1,5-hexadiene-1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6-octacarboxylates, has been attributed by Ingold, Parekh, and Shoppee to ring-chain mesomerism. A reinvestigation of these and related compounds has now been made by using x-ray methods, and it is shown that the crystal structure of the methyl ester is incompatible with the cis-configuration required for such interspatial double-bond saturation. A radical disruption of a mesomeric system by crystallization from solution is improbable and, an earlier formulation incorporating a bicyclobutane nucleus being rejected on chemical grounds, it is necessary to seek a new interpretation of the anomalous reactivity. We suggest that the determinative condition is hyperconjugation throughout the carbon framework of the molecule, and discuss this in relation to 1,5-dienes generally.

Single crystals of two novel shchurovskyite-related compounds, K2Cu[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (1) and K2.35Cu0.825[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (2), were synthesized by crystallization from gaseous phase and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of both compounds are based upon similar Cu-based layers, formed by rods of the [O2Cu6] dimers of oxocentered (OCu4) tetrahedra. The topologies of the layers show both similarities and differences from the shchurovskyite-type layers. The layers are connected in different fashions via additional Cu atoms located in the interlayer, in contrast to shchurovskyite, where the layers are linked by Ca2+ cations. The structures of the shchurovskyite family are characterized using information-based structural complexity measures, which demonstrate that the crystal structure of 1 is the simplest one, whereas that of 2 is the most complex in the family.

Complexes of the lighter lanthanide nitrates with stilbeno-15-crown-5 (L) have been prepared in ethyl acetate. These new complexes with the general formula Ln (NO3)3.L.H2O ( Ln = La, Ce , Pr, Nd ) have been characterized by means of elemental analyses, i.r . spectra, 1H n.m.r. spectra and conductivity measurements. The crystal structure of La(NO3)3.L has been determined by X-ray methods, and refined to a residual R 0.0513 for 4937 independent reflections with I ≥ 1.5σ(I). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/a with a 16.090(5), b 15.654(8), c 22.687(2) Ǻ, β 93.96(4)°, V 5700(4)Ǻ3, and Z 8. There are two independent La(NO3)3.L monomers in one asymmetric unit; in each the coordination number is 11.

KSc2F7 crystallizes orthorhombically with a = 10.643(2), b = 6.540(1), c = 4.030(1) Å. These data indicate a close crystallographic connection to the monoclinic unit cell of KIn2F7 [1], But in contrast to KIn2F7 , KSc2 F7 crystallizes in space group No. 65. Cmmm - D192h. The R-value for 341 observed independent reflections is 0.060.

The reaction of tungsten hexachloride with Se4N2 leads to [WCl4(NSeCl)]2, which reacts with pyridine to form [WCl4(NSeCl)Py], and with tetraphenylphosphonium chloride to form PPh4[WCl5(NSeCl)], which was characterized by an X-ray structure determination. Space group P21, Z = 2, 1657 observed unique reflections, R = 0.074, wR = 0.061. Lattice dimensions at —80 C: a = 710.7(1), b = 2217.9(4), c = 953.6(2) pm; β = 111.93(3) . The [WCl5(NSeCl)]- ion possesses an almost linear WNSe group with bond lengths WN = 188 pm, corresponding to a double bond, and NSe = 200 pm.

SummaryThe crystal structure of coalingite (Mg10Fe2(OH)24(CO3)·2H2O) has been determined using single-crystal X-ray methods. The mineral is trigonal, with space group Rm, aH = 3·12, cH = 37·4 Å, Z = ½, and (0001) cleavage. The structure is of a layer type, and is based on a structural element about 12·5 Å thick in the c-direction and consisting of two brucite-like layers and one disordered layer containing carbonate ions and water molecules and resembling those in sjögrenite and pyroaurite. The unit cell comprises three of these structural elements stacked together in the c-direction. The Mg2+ and Fe3+ ions are randomly distributed among all the octahedral sites of the brucite-like layers. The structure closely resembles those of sjögrenite and pyroaurite, but has two brucite-like layers between each CO32−−H2O layer where these have one. There is a tendency to random interstratification, and the crystals appear to contain intergrown regions of brucite and of sjögrenite or pyroaurite. Coalingite-K probably has a similar structure, but with three brucite-like layers between each -H2O layer; its idealized formula is probably Mg16Fe2(OH)36(CO3).2H2O.

Abstract LaAlSi2 (a = 4.196(2), c = 11.437(7) Å; P3̄ml; Z = 2) was synthesized by arc-melting of preheated mixtures of the elements. The compound was investigated by means of X-ray methods and by neutron diffraction. The crystal structure can be described as a stacking variant of two different segments. The first one corresponds to the CaAl2Si2 structure type (LaAl2Si2), the second one with the A1B2 structure type (LaSi2). The segments are stacked along [001]. The electronic structure of the compound is discussed on the basis of LMTO band structure calculations.

Dissymmetry of the photoproduct was induced by using a chiral substituent, (S)-methylphenylalanine, in the title compound {N-4-(2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoyl)benzoyl]-(S)-phenylalanine methyl ester (I)}. On irradiation with light from a 250 W ultra-high-pressure Hg lamp for 7 h through a long-pass filter, the photoreaction in a crystal was 100% complete without the loss of crystallinity. The crystal structures (I), before, and (II) {N-[4-(7-hydroxy-3,5-diisopropyl-8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-7-yl)benzoyl]-(S)-phenylalanine methyl ester}, after photocyclization, have been determined by X-ray diffraction. For comparison, a crystal structure analysis has also been carried out for the photoproduct (III) of the 3′-COOMe derivative after recrystallization {methyl 3-(7-hydroxy-3,5-diisopropyl-8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-7-yl)benzoate}. The dihedral angle between the central carbonyl plane and the triisopropylphenyl ring deviates from 90° by 10 (1)° in (I), which makes an imbalance in the intramolecular O(carbonyl)...H(methine) distances of the isopropyl groups at positions 2 and 6. The crystal structure of (II) indicates that the nearer methine H was predominantly abstracted by the carbonyl O atom in the reaction. The absolute configuration around the asymmetric C atom in the cyclobutenol ring of the product is S.
