Propionitrile complexes fac-[M(CO)(3)(P-P)(NCEt)] (M = Mo (3), W (4); P-P = Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2) (a), Ph(2)PC(2)H(4)PPh(2) (b), Ph(2)PC(3)H(6)PPh(2) (c), (S,S)-Ph(2)PCHMeCHMePPh(2) (d), Fe(C(5)H(4)PPh(2))(2) (e)) were synthesized from [M(CO)(3)(NCEt)(3)] and the corresponding diphosphine. Reactions of 3 and 4 with sulfur dioxide initially gave complexes fac-[M(CO)(3)(P-P)(eta(2)-SO(2))] (M = Mo (5), W (6)), which slowly isomerized to mer-[M(CO)(3)(P-P)(eta(1)-SO(2))] (M = Mo (7), W (8)). The structures of 7b and 8b were determined by X-ray crystallography. Both compounds are isostructural (monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n (No. 14)) with almost identical unit cell dimensions (7b, a = 14.511(5) A, b = 12.797(2) A, c = 16.476(6) A, beta = 115.92(2); 8b, a = 14.478(8) A, b = 12.794(3) A, c = 16.442(9) A, beta = 116.01(2)) and molecular geometries. Treatment of either fac-[M(CO)(3)(P-P)(eta(2)-SO(2))] or mer-[M(CO)(3)(P-P)(eta(1)-SO(2))] with diazomethane yielded the sulfene complexes mer-[M(CO)(3)(P-P)(eta(2)-CH(2)SO(2))] (M = Mo (9), W (10)). The structure of 10a was determined crystallographically: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n (No. 14), a = 11.719(2) A, b = 17.392(4) A, c = 13.441(3) A, beta = 95.58(2). The tungsten atom resides in the center of a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. The sulfene ligand occupies two adjacent equatorial sites with the bond distances W-C, 2.322(13) A, W-S, 2.353(3) A, and S-C, 1.721(12) A. The latter equals the S-C single bond distance in thiirane S,S-dioxide, indicating a high degree of charge density transfer into the LUMO of the sulfene ligand.

Chalcogenides are the most important infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) material candidates, and the exploration of high-performance ones is attractive and challengeable. Hitherto, there is no NLO scandium (Sc) chalcogenides experimentally studied. Here, new quaternary Sc thiophosphate CsScPS (CSPS) was synthesized by the facile metal oxide-boron-sulfur/reactive flux hybrid solid-state method.

Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIMHs) with ferroelastic phase transition properties have recently attracted great attention due to their widespread application prospects in the fields of energy storage, sensors, switches, . However, most of the hybrid ferroelastics exhibit phase transition points () far beyond room temperature, which may limit their applications in mechanical switches and energy storage for daily working requirements. Herein, we synthesized a new zinc halide OIMH ferroelastic (,)-[BPHD]ZnBr (BPHD = 1,6-bis(piperidine-1-yl) hexa-2,4-diene diamide), which experiences a 2/1̄ type paraelastic-ferroelastic phase transition at a near-room-temperature of 285 K.

The crystal structure of the title organic-inorganic hybrid salt, (CHN)[CdCl], (I), has been reported with four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in a monoclinic cell [Vassilyeva (2021 ▸). , , 7713-7722]. While using two different aldehydes in the oxidative cyclization-condensation involving CHNH·HCl to prepare a new monovalent cation with the imidazo[1,5-]pyridinium skeleton, a new polymorph was obtained for (I) in space group 1 and a unit cell with approximately half the volume of the monoclinic form.
