The synthesis of low-valent tungsten (0 and II) complexes bearing chiral bidentate phosphino-oxazoline or bisoxazoline ligands is described. The structures of four of the complexes have been determined by single crystal X-ray analyses. Tungsten(II)-allyl complexes of the type [W(CO)2(PN)(C3H5)Cl] (PN = phosphino-oxazoline) are fluxional in solution, but can be crystallized as single diastereois...

a novel complex of cadmium (ii) [cdl0.5(no3)(h2o)](1), l= n,n-bis (o-hydroxyacetophenone) ethylene diamine, have been synthesized as single crystal and nano size. compound 1 in nano size was obtained under sonochemical irradiation and has been characterized by ir, 1hnmr spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the gray single crystal of compound 1 has...

Three discrete supramolecular self-assembled arsenic(iii) complexes including an unusual S(4)-symmetric tetranuclear [As(4)L(2)Cl(4)] metallacyclophane and two diastereomeric cis/trans-[As(2)LCl(2)] metallacycle intermediates co-crystallize within a single crystal lattice.

The crystal structure of the title compound, deca-methyl-cobaltocene, [Co(C(10)H(15))(2)], has been determined. High-quality single crystals were grown from a cold saturated hexa-methyl-disiloxane solution. The structure is related to the manganese and iron analogs. The molecule has D(5d) symmetry, with the Co atom in a crystallographic 2/m position. The cobalt-centroid(C(5)) distance is 1.71Å ...

We have used primarily temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) to investigate CO adsorption on a Au(211) stepped single-crystal surface. The Au(211) surface can be described as a step-terrace structure consisting of three-atom-wide terraces of (111) orientation and a monatomic step with a (100) orientation, or 3(111) x (100) in microfacet n...

A polymorph screen on a new 1:1 co-crystal of caffeine, C8H10N4O2, with anthranilic acid, C7H7NO2, has revealed a rich diversity of crystal forms (two polymorphs, two hydrates and seven solvates, including two sets of isostructural solvates). These forms were prepared by liquid-assisted grinding and solution crystallization, and the crystal structures of nine of these forms have been solved usi...

A new cobaloxime was synthesized by the reaction of cobalt chloride and diphenylglyoxime in methanol, followed by the addition of 4′-(4-pyridyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, pytpy. This complex was characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In cyclic voltammetry experiments an irreversible reduction wave assigned to ...

A novel approach to incorporate cobalt atoms into a magnetite single crystal is demonstrated by a combination of x-ray spectro-microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, and density-functional theory calculations. Co is deposited at room temperature on the reconstructed magnetite (001) surface filling first the subsurface octahedral vacancies and then occupying adatom sites on the surface. Pr...
