9.3.6.1 X-ray crystallography<br />

A yellow block of 22a with dimensions 0.28 x 0.17 x 0.08 mm 3 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 157193 reflections<br />

collected (2θ max = 56.14°, 99.2 % complete), 12952 were unique (R int = 0.0994) and 9964<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 />

coordinates, anisotropic thermal parameters (W, Hf, Si, K, and Rb atoms) and isotropic<br />

thermal parameters converged at R = 0.0589 (I > 2σ(I)) and and R w = 0.1885(all data).<br />

The data for this crystal are summarized in Table 9.8.<br />
