TL;DR: The first reported Au-Ag bond lengths were reported in this article, which showed the same type of metal-atom chain (Au ⋯ Au 3.013; Au ⋾ Au short contacts (2.792 A).
Abstract: The reaction of [NBun4][AuR2](R = C6F5 or C6F3H2-2,4,6) with Ag[ClO4] leads to complexes [{AuAgR2}n], which react with neutral ligands to give complexes [{AuAgR2L}n](L = neutral O-, N-, S- or P-donor ligand, alkene, or alkyne). For R = C6F5 and L = diphenylacetylene, the product is [{AuAgR2·0.5L}n]; the 0.5L can be displaced by other ligands, such as acetone, arenes, or alkenes, to reform [{AuAgR2L}n]. An X-ray diffraction study of [{AuAgR2L}n](R = C6F5, L = tetrahydrothiophene) reveals (AuAg)2 rings with Au–Ag 2.726 and 2.718 A(the first reported Au–Ag bond lengths), linked by Au ⋯ Au short contacts (2.889 A) to form infinite metal-atom chains. This complex crystallizes in space group Pccn, with a= 11.185(3), b= 22.475(6), c= 14.802(4)A, Z= 8, R= 0.041 for 2 005 reflections. The complex [{AuAgR2L}n](R = C6F5, L = benzene) crystallizes in space group C2/c, with a= 24.231(5), b= 7.570(1), c= 22.613(5)A, β= 117.49(2)°, Z= 8, and R= 0.035 for 3 008 reflections; it shows the same type of metal-atom chain (Au ⋯ Au 3.013; Au–Ag 2.702 and 2.792 A). The benzene ring is co-ordinated by one edge to silver. In both structures the gold atoms lie on a crystallographic two-fold axis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a stepwise synthesis of chain and ring siloxanes using halosilanes has been discussed, and the crystal structures of 2, 14, and 24 are discussed.
Abstract: Disilanole des Typs R2Si(OH)2 (1, 2: R = CHMe2, CMe3) und das Fluorsilanol (Me3C)2Si(OH)F (3) dienen in Reaktionen mit Halogensilanen als Startmaterial zum stufenweisen Aufbau von kettenformigen Siloxanen (4 – 15, 16 –20). Auch Siloxane mit voluminosen tert-Butyl- oder Silylaminogruppen sind leicht zuganglich (10, 16, 17, 20). Kristalline Silandiole (2, 14, 19) sind uber Wasserstoff-Bruckenbindungen ketten- (19) oder dimer-ringformig (2, 14) verknupft. Aus der Reaktion von F2Si(CHMe2)2 mit Kaliumhydroxid wurde das 1,3-Difluor- (18), 1,3-Dihydroxy (19), 1-Fluor-3-hydroxydisiloxan 6 sowie da Cyclotrisiloxan 21 isoliert. Die Si — O-Sechsringe 21 – 24 konnen gezielt aus den 1,3-Dihydroxydisiloxanen 19, 20 mit Di- und Trihalogensilanen erhalten werden. Die Kristallstrukturen von 2, 14 und 24 werden diskutiert. Stepwise Synthesis of Chain and Ring Siloxanes — Crystal Structures Disilanols of the type R2Si(OH)2 (1, 2: R = CHMe2, CMe3) and the fluorosilanol (Me3 C)2Si(OH)F (3) serve as starting materials in the reaction with halosilanes for the stepwise construction of chain siloxanes (4 – 15, 16 – 20). Even siloxanes with bulky tert-butyl or silylamino groups are easily prepared (10, 16, 17, 20). Crystalline silanediols (2, 14, 19) are connected in chains (19) or dimeric rings (2, 14) by hydrogen bonding. The 1,3-difluoro- (18), 1,3-dihydroxy- (19), and 1-fluoro-3-hydroxydisiloxane 6 as well as the cyclotrisiloxane 21 were isolated from the reaction of F2Si(CHMe2)2 with potassium hydroxide. Directed synthesis of Si — O six-membered rings (21 – 24) is possible via reaction of 1,3-dihydroxydisiloxanes 19, 20 with di- and trihalosilanes. The crystal structures of 2, 14, and 24 are discussed.

The triclinic structure is built up by Au4 zig-zag chains AuBr2—Au(py)2—Au(py)2—AuBr2, whereas the monoclinic phase contains infinite chains with the sequence AuBr2—Au(py)2. In each case the linkage is formed by weak Au—Au-interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, a single-crystal X-ray structure determination has shown that the metal atoms adopt a "butterfly" configuration with the iridium and platinum atoms occupying 'hinge' and 'wing-tip' positions respectively.

Abstract: The compound (NSCl)3 reacts with [MCl2(PPh3)3](M = Os or Ru) in tetrahydrofuran to give the thionitrosyl complexes [M(NS)Cl3(PPh3)2][M = Os (1) or Ru (2)]. Nitrosyl chloride or bromide converts (1) to the corresponding nitrosyl complex.

The osmium is octahedrally co-ordinated with the phosphines cis to the NS group; a crystallographic two-fold axis along the Cl–Os–N–S bonds imposes linearity at nitrogen, with Os–N 177.9(9), N–S 150.3(10), Os–P 245.9(2), Os–Cl(cis) 238.7(3), and Os–Cl(trans) 239.9(3) pm. Complex (2) is apparently isostructural, with a= 1 613.5(15), b= 941.8(4), c= 2 249.3(15) pm, and β= 102.94(3)°.

TL;DR: In this paper, the X-ray structure of diphenyl disulphide with AgAsF6 in liquid SO2 was shown to have a centrosymmetric six-membered ring, in which two silver atoms are connected by two bridging Ph2S2 ligands.
Abstract: The reaction of diphenyl disulphide with AgAsF6 in liquid SO2 leads to [Ag2(Ph2S2)4][AsF6]2- The X-ray structure [space group P, a= 10.902(4), b= 10.976(6), c= 13.308(7)A, α= 112.82(4), β= 92.43(3), γ= 107.69(3)°, Z= 1, and R= 0.041 for 5 139 unique observed reflections] shows a centrosymmetric six-membered ring, in which two silver atoms are connected by two bridging Ph2S2 ligands; further unidentate sulphur ligands complete irregular three-co-ordination at silver. The analogous reaction with diphenyl diselenide leads to the isostructural [Ag2(Ph2Se2)4][AsF6]2[space group P, a= 10.676(3), b= 11.253(3), c= 13.625(4)A, α= 66.40(2), β= 89.67(2), γ= 71.40(2)°, Z= 1, and R= 0.044 for 4 439 reflections].

Abstract: [Ru3(CO)10(NPh)](1) reacts with molecular hydrogen to give [Ru3H2(CO)9(NPh)](2), which can be carbonylated to produce [Ru3(CO)12]. A single-crystal X-ray structure determination of (2) confirms the presence of a triply-bridging NPh group and two doubly-bridging hydrogen atoms: space group P21/c, a= 11.697(2), b= 9.265(2), c= 18.589(4)A, β= 100.18(2)°, Z= 4, R= 0.039 for 3 019 unique observed reflections.

TL;DR: The observed structure accounts for the higher binding constants of the natural antibiotic, as well as its capacity to bind at GC-rich sequences in DNAs.
Abstract: Crystals of the polar conformer of the quinoxaline antibiotic triostin A are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with a= 20.940(5), b= 18.528(4), and c= 18.795(4)A. There are two molecules of isoamyl acetate solvent per triostin A molecule. The cyclic octadepsipeptide has approximate two-fold symmetry. The quinoxaline chromophores and the disulphide cross-bridge project from opposite sides of the peptide ring. The conformation is compared with that found for the synthetic analogue TANDEM, and with the results of n.m.r. investigation. The observed structure accounts for the higher binding constants of the natural antibiotic, as well as its capacity to bind at GC-rich sequences in DNAs.

TL;DR: In this article, the Pentaspirohexadecane 3a, b was rearranged to polyspirane 7.0.2 and polycycle 8.2, b in terms of sixfold 1,2-shifts with inversion at both the migration origins and termini.
Abstract: Die Pentaspirohexadecane 3a, b konnen uber 7a, b in 8a, b umgelagert werden. 7a, b sind potentielle Vorlaufer des [6.4]Coronans 1. 7a und 8a wurden zu 7d bzw. 8e benzoyliert, die Molekulstrukturen von 7d und 8e rontgenographisch bestimmt. 7a, b und 8a, b sind all-cis-konfiguriert, 7a und 7b enthalten die Hydroxylgruppe axial gebunden. Die Gesamtumlagerungen von 3a, b konnen demnach als sechsfache 1,2-Verschiebungen unter Inversion am jeweiligen Ausgangs- und Endpunkt der Umlagerung beschrieben werden. Polyspiranes, 7. Cascade Rearrangements, 2: From Polyspiranes to Polycycles – Sixfold 1,2-Shifts in Functionalized Pentaspiro[2.0.2.0.2.0.2.0.2.1]hexadecanes The pentaspirohexadecanes 3a, b may be rearranged to 8a, b via 7a, b, which are potential precursors of the [6.4]coronane 1. 7a and 8a were benzoylated to give 7d and 8e, respectively, the molecular structures of which were determined by X-ray analysis. 7a, b and 8a, b adopt the all-cis-configuration. 7a and 7b contain axial hydroxyl groups. The overall rearrangements of 3a, b may thus be described in terms of sixfold 1,2-shifts with inversion at both the migration origins and termini.

(Disilylamino)phosphanes (Rf)2P – N(SiMe3)2 – Precursors for PN3S2 Rings The reactions of the (disilylamino)phosphanes (Rf)2P – N(SiMe3)2 (Rf CF3, C2F5) with S3N2Cl2 lead to new cyclophosphadithiatriazenes of composition (Rf)2PN3S2 (1a, b) with elimination of Me3SiCl and S8. By-products are (Rf)2P(Cl) NSiMe3 (2a, b). Reaction of 1a, b with norbornadiene yields 1:1 adducts 3a, b. The X-ray structure analysis of 3a (Rf CF3) is reported. When 1a is allowed to stand for several days a crystalline compound of composition [(CF3)2PN2S]2 (4) is formed. The X-ray structure analysis shows that 4 contains an eight-membered ring with 1,3-P(CF3)2 groups.
