organic compounds
The crystal structure of ethyl 2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzoate, C13H18O2, has been determined and torsion angles are compared to those previously reported in a dipole moment study of substituted benzoates.
metal-organic compounds
The title compound, (C8H20N)5[KMo4O8(C3H2O4)5]·2CH3CN·2H2O, was obtained from a ligand substitution reaction of [Et4N]3[Mo3(CO)9(OMe)3] with malonic acid and subsequent reaction with oxygen and water. The structure contains two Mo5+ dimers bridged by a malonate group. Each Mo atom is ligated by an additional chelating malonate group, a terminal oxide and two bridging oxides. A potassium ion occupies the cavity formed by the bridging malonate group.
metal-organic compounds
The title two-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Ag(C6H8N2)2]PF6}n, has been formed by the self-assembly of 4-aminomethylpyridine (amp) ligands with silver(I) hexafluorophosphate in a 2:1 ratio. The polymer consists of dimeric silver–amp rectangles that are linked together to make a larger hexametallic rectangle.
metal-organic compounds
In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C8H20N)3[W2(CH3O)2(C3H7O2)(CO)6], obtained from a ligand substitution reaction of (Et4N)3[W2(OMe)3(CO)6], the trianion sits across a mirror plane such that one W(CO)3 group is unique and the two methoxy groups and all but the middle C atom of the 3-hydroxypropanolate ligand lie on the mirror plane. One and a half molecules of the tetraethylammonium cation are present to balance the charge in the asymmetric unit. The half molecule is situated with its N atom on a mirror plane and is disordered.
