Figure 9.48 TGA spectrum of complex 19a.<br />

9.2.5.1 X-ray crystallography<br />

A block like crystal of 19a with dimensions 0.23 x 0.08 x 0.03 mm3 was mounted in a Hampton<br />

cryoloop for indexing and intensity data collection at 173 K on a Bruker D8 APEX II CCD<br />

single-crystal diffractometer using Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Of the 281597 reflections<br />

collected (2θ max = 24.87°, 99.4% complete), 16397 were unique (R int = 0.1712) and 5632<br />

reflections were considered observed (I > 2σ(I)). Routine Lorentz and polarization corrections<br />

were applied and an absorption correction was performed using the SADABS program<br />

(Sheldrick, G. M.; Acta Crystallogr. 2007, A64, 112). Direct methods were used to locate the<br />

tungsten and yttrium atoms (SHELXS-97). Then the remaining atoms were found from<br />

successive Fourier maps (SHELXL-97). The final cycle of refinement, including the atomic<br />
