Tricarbon­yl(η6-flavone)chromium(0)

In the title compound, [Cr(C15H10O2)(CO)3], the Cr(CO)3 unit exhibits a three-legged piano-stool conformation. The chromium metal centre is coordinated by the phenyl ring of the flavone ligand [Cr—(phenyl centroid) distance = 1.709 (1) Å]. The ligand is approximately planar, the dihedral angles between the γ-pyrone ring and the phenyl ring and between the γ-pyrone and the phenyl­ene ring being 2.91 (5) and 3.90 (5)°, respectively. The mol­ecular packing shows π–π stacking between the flavone ligands of neighbouring mol­ecules

Tetra­kis(μ-2-methyl­benzoato)bis­[(2-methyl­benzoic acid)copper(II)]

In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear compound, [Cu2(C8H7O2)4(C8H8O2)2], four o-toluate anions form a cage around two Cu atoms in a syn–syn configuration. Two more o-toluic acid mol­ecules are apically bonded to the Cu atoms, which show a square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The acid H atoms are hydrogen bonded to the cage carboxyl O atoms [O⋯O = 2.660 (2) Å]. The mol­ecular packing forms a puckered pseudo-hexa­gonal close-packed layer in the (h00) plane, with soft inter­molecular H⋯H contacts (2.46–2.58 Å)

Racemic tricarbonyl[(4a,5,6,7,8,8a-η)-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran]chromium(0)

The title compound, [Cr(C15H14O)(CO)3], displays a distorted envelope configuration of the dihydro­pyrane ring. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and phenyl­ene rings is 50.63 (4)°. The Cr0 atom is coordinated by three CO groups and the phenyl­ene ring of the flavan ligand in an η6 mode, with a common arene-to-metal distanc

Tetra­kis(μ-4-ethyl­benzoato-κ2 O:O′)­bis­[(4-ethyl­benzoic acid-κO)copper(II)]

The molecule of the title compound, [Cu2(C9H9O2)4(C9H10O2)2], lies on a center of inversion. It consists of four bridging ethyl­benzoate ligands, forming a cage around two Cu atoms in a syn–syn configuration, and two monodentate ethyl­benzoic acid ligands bonded apically to the square-planar Cu atoms. The Cu⋯Cu distance is 2.6047 (5) Å

Racemic tricarbon­yl(η6-7-meth­oxy­flavan)chromium(0)

In the title compound [systematic name: tricarbonyl(η6-7-methoxy-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran)chromium(0)], [Cr(C16H16O2)(CO)3], the Cr(CO)3 unit is coordinated by the phenyl­ene ring of the flavan ligand, exhibiting a three-legged piano-stool conformation, with a point to plane distance of 1.750 (1) Å. The phenyl ring is twisted away from the fused ring system by 36.49 (5)° (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å; fitted atoms are the C6 ring and the attached fused-ring C and O atoms). The dihydro­pyran ring displays a distorted envelope configuration by displacement of the phenyl-bearing and the adjacent ring C atoms from the fused-ring system plane by 0.356 (2) and 0.402 (2) Å, respectively

cis-trans Isomers of PtX4L2 (X=halogen and L=neutral ligand): trans -bis(dimethyl sulfide)tetraiodidoplatinum(IV)

The octahedral title complex, [PtI4(C2H6S)2] or trans PtI4(dms)2 (dms is dimethylsulfide), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n (Z=2) with molecular symmetry Ci, which is the most frequently occurring point group for trans-PtX4L2[56%, 28 structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) [Allen, 2002, Acta Cryst B58, 380-388]] followed by C1 (22%, 11 structures). The complexes form a puckered pseudo-hexagonal layer in the (10-1) plane, and the layers are stacked with an interplanar distance of 7.10 Å. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on an isolated complex with the observed parameters as a starting structure converged to C2h. Constraints to Ci on the observed geometry give 3-4 kJ mol-1 higher energy compared with C2h. DFT calculations on [PtCl4(PzH)2] (PzH is pyrazole), reported in the CSD in both the cis and trans forms, show an energy difference of 21 kJ mol-1 in favour of the trans complex. A CSD search for PtX4L2-type complexes, where X is a halogen and L is a ligand with a donor atom from group 14, 15 or 16, indicated a preferred trans geometrical arrangement, with a total fraction of 68%. The dominating crystal packing operators for the trans complexes are an inversion centre combined with a screw axis/glide plane (48%), followed by an inversion centre alone (28 %)

cis-[2,6-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)cyclohexyl-kappa P-3,C-1,P '] bromidopalladium(II)

The title compound, [PdBr(C24H49P2)], has a distorted square-planar coordination geometry with the P, C, P'-tridentate ligand forming two five-membered chelate rings. The Br atom is displaced from the square plane by 0.560 (6) angstrom
