cis-[(1,2-diphenyl-1,2-dicyclopentadienyl)ethanediyl]bis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium is prepared by reductively coupling phenylfulvene with activated calcium to produce cis and trans isomers which can be separately crystallized. The cis isomer crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. The cell parameters are: a = 9.7006(1), b = 18.9839(1), c = 14.2018(2) Å, = 91.263(1)°, V = 2614.70(5) ų, D _calc = 1.252 mg/m³, and Z = 4. Spectroscopic and crystallographic data for the cis-isomer are presented and discussed.     

The synthesis and structural characterization of silyl-substituted fluorenes

Three silyl-substituted fluorenes have been prepared by direct synthetic methods and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The three silyl-substituted fluorenes studied were 9-trimethylsilylfluorene (1), 9-(tert-butyldimethyl)silylfluorene (2), and 2,7-di-tert-butyl-9-trimethylsilylfluorene (3). Complex 1 is orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁, a = 6.2681(14) Å, b = 14.329(3) Å, c = 15.231(4) Å, Z = 4. Complex 2 is monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 12.1953(10) Å, b = 6.9977(6) Å, c = 19.6536(17) Å, = 93.818(2), Z = 4. Complex 3 is monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 11.9954(9) Å, b = 9.8978(7) Å, c = 18.5464(13) Å, = 92.456(2), Z = 4. The long carbon–silicon bonds effectively remove any significant intramolecular interactions as little distortion is exhibited around the sp ³-carbon atom and the fluorenyl backbone demonstrates near planarity. The bulky silicon substituents also prevent intermolecular interactions, as only a few close contacts less than 4.0 Å exist in all three solid state structures.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of five new coordination polymer chain structures using a new,Z-shaped ligand, 2,2′-bis-(4-pyridylethynyl)tolane

Compounds 1– 5 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction; and compounds 1– 3 were additionally characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 29.761(3) Å, b = 5.0531(5) Å, c = 16.7823(15) Å, = 104.090(2), V = 2447.9(4) ų, Z = 4.

Here also, each mercury is bound to two tolane ligands and two iodine anions in a tetrahedral coordination environment. The ligand orientation differs in compounds 1 and 2 being trans oriented in 1 and cis oriented in 2. Compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 14.5947(14) Å, b = 6.3082(6) Å, c = 18.3939(18) Å, = 112.112(2), V = 1568.9(3) ų, Z = 2. Each nickel is bound to two tolane ligands and two bidentate AcAc anions, resulting in an octahedral coordination environment. Compound 4, which is isostructural with 3, also crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 14.6990(9) Å, b = 6.2724(4) Å, c = 18.6433(11) Å, = 112.8610(10), V = 1583.86(17) ų, Z = 2. Compound 5 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 6.5487(4) Å, b = 11.6471(7) Å, c = 14.3225(9) Å, = 70.1360(10), = 89.3990(10), = 88.7680(10), V = 1027.18(11) ų, Z = 1. Each copper in 5 is bound to two tolane ligands and two bidentate hfAcAc anions, resulting in an octahedral coordination environment identical to that found in 3 and 4.     

Crystal structure of two brom containing aza-tetracyclic fused-ring N-heterocycles including isoxazolidine ring

Crystal structure of two brom containing aza-tetracyclic fused N-heterocycles including isoxazolidine ring compounds have been determined in single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The compound, C₁₄H₁₉BrN₂O₃, (1), and C₁₂H₁₅BrN₂O₃, (2), were obtained from a stereospecific[3+2] 1,3-cycloaddition of oxime based tandem nitrone generation reactions. The envelope conformation of the isoxazolidine rings are different, leading the substituents to be pseudoaxial in (1) and pseudoequatorial in (2). The stereochemistry of these fused compounds are exo- and endo-stereoisomer geometry contributed by exo and endo transition state of nitrone 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. The title compound (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 ₁/n with a = 12.6221(5)Å, b = 7.5917(4) Å, c = 16.2350(9) Å, = 112.254(5)°, V = 1439.81(12) ų, and D _calc = 1.583 Mg/m³ for Z = 4 and compound (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 ₁/c with a = 11.6906(9) Å, b = 6.4255(7) Å, c = 17.2070(10) Å, = 109.264(5)°, V = 1220.2(2) ų, and D _calc = 1.716 Mg/m³ for Z = 4. The antibacterial activity of both compounds were investigated for three Gram (+) and two Gram (–) bacteria by employing broth microdilution method and subsequently inhibitory activity against yeast-like fungi was also determined.     

Crystal structure of 5-(p-methoxyphenylamino)indane and AM1 calculations on N-arylamines derivatives, precursors of phenothiazine drugs

The structural determination by X-ray crystallography of the titled N-arylamine 4a, as well as AM₁ calculations on a series of derivatives (4b–c, 5a–c), are reported. The compound 4a is monoclinic P2₁/c with a = 7.656(3), b = 23.655(5), c = 7.686(9) Å, = 112.59(6)°, V = 1285.2(2) ų and Z = 4. This structure has been used as a template for the building of some others derivatives used for AM₁ calculations. The results show that the cyclization position on the aromatic rings, which can lead to two regioisomers, depends on the nature of the benzylic substituants.

Of particular interest is the fact that the C5–N6 bond appears to have a high double bond character in all three of the compounds studied. In addition, it is found that the exocyclic N-phenyl group changes from being in the cis conformation with respect to sulfur in compounds (I) and (III) to the trans conformation in the hydrochloric salt (II).     

X-ray study of two 1-substituted 3-acylamino-2-pyrazolines

The previously reported IR study on 21 different 1-substituted 3-acylamino-2-pyrazolines assumed thecis configuration for the amide groups. In order to establish the configuration, X-ray structure determinations of two model compounds (1-phenyl-3-benzoylaminopyrazoline, monoclinic,a = 5.218,b = 8.830,c = 14.372 Å, = 90.7 °,Z = 2, P2 ₁; 1-benzyl-3-acetaminopyrazoline, monoclinic,a = 9.529,b = 13.679,c = 18.112 Å, = 96.7 °,Z = 8,P2₁/n) were performed. Both structures were solved by direct methods, and refined to a finalR = 0.075 for 710 andR = 0.122 for 2140 observed reflections. The configurations of the amide groups were found to betrans.     

The preparation and crystal structures of some tricarbonylmanganese(I) octahedral complexes containing the 1,1-dimethylamino-2,2-diphenylphosphinoethane ligand

Four new complexes of (pn) the titled ligand have been prepared and characterized: (CO)₃Mn(pn)Br, 1; (CO)₃Mn(pn)N₃, 2; the triazalato (tz) complex, (CO)₃Mn(pn)(tz), 3 and [(CO)₄Mn(pn)]BF₄, 4.

Structures of nitroso- and nitroguanidine X-ray crystallography and computational analysis

The X-ray structures of solid nitroguanidine (ngoH):orthorhombic, Fdd2, a = 17.6181(14), b = 24.848(2), c = 3.5901(4) Å, V = 1571.7(3) ų, Z = 16 and nitrosoguanidine (ngH); monoclinic, P 2₁/n, a = 3.64510(10), b = 11.746(2), c = 8.6483(14) Å, = 99.167(2), V = 365.55(9) ų, Z = 4 have been determined utilizing single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The results are compared with the most stable gaseous configurations derived from ab inito calculations. The lowest energy calculated configuration for the ligands and experimentally observed crystal structures are in excellent agreement. In the solid state, both the ngoH and ngH contain discrete molecules in their unit cells which are planar (within experimental error), in the diamine configurations and are structurally identical except for an oxygen atom. In solid ngH, two ligand molecules have four nitrogen atoms arranged in a plane such that they are suitable for coordination to a nickel ion (1.945, 2.064 Å), when it is at the 1/2, 1/2, 1/2 unit-cell position giving the observed complex. As far as we are aware, this is the first instance in which a ligand crystal structure is essentially the same, with minor distance, angle and torsion angle changes, as the complex it forms and suggests some potentially unique properties and applications for this material.

4- and 5-nitro-2-benzoylbenzoic acid

The structures of two isomeric nitro 2-benzoylbenzoic acids have been determined. 4-Nitro-2-benzoylbenzoic acid, C₁₄H₉NO₅, monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 9.455(5), b = 6.632(2), c = 21.333(7)Å, = 107.96(3)°, Z = 4, V = 1270.6(9)ų, 5-nitro-2-benzoylbenzoic acid, C₁₄H₉NO₅, monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 10.201(6), b = 8.515(4), c = 14.573(7)Å, = 101.35(4)°, Z = 4, V = 1241.1(11)ų. Both carboxylic acids form the usual H-bonded dimers across crystallographic centers of inversion. The nitro groups are essentially in the ring planes, and the interplanar angle between the mean planes described by the atoms of the benzoyl substituents and those of the benzoic acid aryl rings are 69(1)° and 84(1)°, respectively. The lower cell volume, higher density, and lower solubility in ethyl ethanoate correlates with the greater packing efficiency in 5-nitro-2-benzoylbenzoic acid.     

Influence of the spectator cation on the structure of anionic pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II)

The structures of anionic pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato (pdc^2–) complexes of cobalt, nickel, and copper have been studied. The stoichiometries and structures are very much dependent on whether KOH, Et₄NOH, or NaOH is used in the synthesis to deprotonate the H₂pdc ligand. Crystallographic results are: (1) K₂[Co(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.637(2)Å, b = 13.480(1)Å, c = 8.200(1)Å (2) K₂[Ni(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.648(1)Å, b = 13.375(1)Å, c = 8.2393(8)Å (3) [Co₂(H₂O)₅(pdc)₂] · 2H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 8.3880(6)Å, b = 27.384(2)Å, c = 9.6110(8)Å, = 98.271(6)° (4) [Ni(Hpdc)₂] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 13.679(1)Å, b = 10.0450(9)Å, c = 13.767(2)Å, = 115.184(7)° (5) Na₆[Co(H₂O)₆][Co(pdc)₂]₄ · 28H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 13.363(1)Å, b = 8.437(1)Å, c = 40.689(3)Å, = 91.288(5)° (6) Na[Ni(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 11.5H₂O, monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 4, a = 15.200(2)Å, b = 22.299(2)Å, c = 8.3596(7)Å, = 118.894(7)° (7) Na[Cu(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 9.516(4)Å, b = 14.917(6)Å, c = 12.247(5)Å, = 92.00(5)°. The potassium and sodium complexes have extensive K⁺—H₂O and Na⁺—H₂O networks. The fact the Et₄N⁺ ion does not appear in any of the complexes is likely due to the fact that it is incapable of forming the intricate cation—water and hydrogen-bonding networks observed in all of the other structures.

The anion contains acis-trioxo metal system, while the ligand coordinates as a tridentate through its nitrogen atom and two of the three carboxylate oxygen atoms, the Mo atom being in a distorted octahedral environment. The two glycinato rings involved in the coordination are mutuallycis. The mean Mo-O (terminal) bond length is 1.74 Å and the lengths of the metal-ligand bonds are Mo-O 2.18, 2,25 Å; Mo-N 2.39 Å.     

The preparation and crystal structures of a covalent tetrafluoroborato complex, (CO)<Subscript>3</Subscript>(dppfe)MnFBF<Subscript>3</Subscript>, and of a related ionic complex, [(CO)<Subscript>4</Subscript>(dppfe)Mn]BF<Subscript>4</Subscript> [(dppfe) = bis-(1,1′-diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]

The titled covalent tetrafluoroborato dppfe complex was prepared by treating the precursor hydride, (CO)₃(dppfe)MnH, with tetrafluoroboric acid. Similar treatment of analogous hydrido complexes with other chelating phosphines always gave ionic tetrafluoroborates, presumably via similar intermediate FBF₃ covalent complexes, which however could not be isolated. Crystal structures for the covalent complex (CO)₃(dppfe)MnFBF₃.3/2CH₂Cl₂, 3, and the ionic complex [(CO)₄(dppfe)Mn]BF₄.CH₂Cl₂, 4, were determined.
