Its single-crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystal structure belongs to triclinic, space group P with a = 0.7407(1), b = 1.3329(3), c = 1.5736(3)nm, α = 103.800(4), β = 95.030(4), γ = 104.416(4)°, Mr = 701.06, V = 1.4433(5) nm3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.613 g/cm3, μ = 1.153 mm-1 and F(000) = 726. The compound is an infinitely expanding three-dimensional network connected with hydrogen bonds. The Cu(Ⅱ) atom is coordinated by two nitrogen and two oxygen atoms to form a distorted planar coordination compound which adopts anti-configuration because two sulfonic acid groups are positioned diagonally on a plane.     

Formation of [FeW12O40]5− under hydrothermal conditions: syntheses,crystal structures,and characterization of [Fe(2,2′-bipy)3]2[HFeW12O40] · 5H2O and (4,4′-H2bipy)6(Hpy)2(H3O)[FeW12O40]3 · 11H2O

Two supramolecular compounds based on tungstoferrate [FeW₁₂O₄₀]^5?, [Fe^II(2,2′-bipy)₃]₂[HFeW₁₂O₄₀] · 5H₂O (1), and [Hpy]₂[4,4′-H₂bipy]₆(H₃O)[FeW₁₂O₄₀]₃ · 11H₂O (2) (py = pyridine, bipy = bipyridine) were synthesized hydrothermally and characterized structurally. The hydrogen bonds between polyoxoanions and water and the edge-to-face π–π interaction between [Fe^II(2,2′-bipy)₃]²⁺ with a shortest C–C distance of 3.513 Å are the main forces to construct the 3-D architecture of 1. In 2, a 3-D supramolecular architecture is assembled by the tungstoferrate anions, protonated 4,4′-bipy cations, and water through hydrogen bonding. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities indicate that 1 is paramagnetic with μ _eff corresponding to one Fe(III) with spin-only contribution, showing that Fe in the coordination cations has a +II oxidation number and low spin state.

Density functional investigations on the (H2O)n·CCH and (H2O)n·HCC complexes (n=1–3)

The electronic structures and energies of (H₂O)_n·CCH and (H₂O)_n·HCC complexes (n=1–3) between CCH and water have been theoretically investigated at the UB3LYP/6-311++G(2df,p)//UB3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The complexes with n=2–3 are cyclic structures with homodromic hydrogen-bond chain. The (H₂O)_n·CCH (n=1–3) complexes show increasing stabilities towards CCH- or H₂O-eliminations of 2.3, 5.8 and 7.6 kcal/mol and are energetically more stable than the corresponding (H₂O)_n·HCC complexes by 0.8, 2.7 and 3.4 kcal/mol, respectively, due to the charge-separation-enhanced hydrogen bonds within (H₂O)_n·CCH (n=2,3). Strong interactions between CCH and (H₂O)₂ and (H₂O)₃ clusters suggest special solvent effects of water on the chemical behavior of unsaturated radicals.

Synthesis and crystal structures of 3D supramolecular compounds: [ M (4,4′-bipy)2(H2O)4] · (4,4′-bipy)2 · (3,5-daba)2 · 8H2O ( M =Zn,Mn)

Two new supramolecular compounds [M(4,4′-bipy)₂ (H₂O)₄] ·?(4,4′-bipy)₂ ·?(3,5-daba)₂ ·?8H₂O (M=Zn(1) or Mn(2), 4,4′-bipy =?4,4′-bipyridine, 3,5-daba =?3,5-diaminobenzoic acid anion) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray crystal diffraction.

Glass-ceramic nanocomposites in the [(1 − x)PbO–xBaO]–Na2O–Nb2O5–SiO2 system: Crystallization and dielectric performance

The crystallization process, microstructure and dielectric properties of [(1 − x)PbO–xBaO]–Na₂O–Nb₂O₅–SiO₂ (PBNNS) (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) glass-ceramics prepared by controlled crystallization were investigated. The crystallization strategies for acquiring nano-crystallized PBNNS glass-ceramics were monitored by differential thermal analysis (DTA). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed a major crystal phase transition in PBNNS glass matrix as the crystallization temperature increased. At low temperatures (700–750 °C), the major crystal phases precipitating in the glass matrix are identified as Pb₂Nb₂O₇ for x = 0, Ba₂NaNb₅O₁₅ for x = 1 and their solid solution for 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.8; while at higher temperatures (≥850 °C), heat treatment produces different crystalline phases, PbNb₂O₆ and NaNbO₃ for x = 0, Ba₂NaNb₅O₁₅ and NaNbO₃ for x = 1, and the solid solution of these three phases for 0.2 ≤ x ≤ 0.8. Corresponding to the result of phase transition, microstructural observation proves increasing crystallite sizes with increasing temperature of heat treatment. At different crystallization temperatures, the dielectric properties of the [(1 − x)PbO–xBaO]–Na₂O–Nb₂O₅–SiO₂ glass-ceramics show a strong dependence on the chemical composition x. At low temperatures (700–750 °C), a maximum of the dielectric constant of the PBNNS glass-ceramic is found for the composition x = 0.6; while at higher crystallization temperatures (≥850 °C), the dielectric constants of all samples (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) exhibit decreasing values with increasing x.     

[Ni(bpy)(mal)(H2O)3]·H2O and [Ni(4,4′-dmbpy)(mal)(H2O)3]·1.5H2O: syntheses,crystal structures,magnetic properties,and computational study of stacking interactions

[Ni(bpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·H₂O and [Ni(4,4′-dmbpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·1.5H₂O (mal = maleato; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; 4,4′-dmbpy = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) exhibit molecular crystal structures. The Ni(II) central ions in both complexes are six-coordinate by one chelate bonded L–L ligand, three aqua ligands, and one position is occupied by a maleato oxygen donor atom. Hydrogen bonded ribbon-like supramolecular structural motifs are present in both studied complexes; these are linked by weaker C–H?O hydrogen bonds in [Ni(bpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·H₂O, whereas in [Ni(4,4′-dmbpy)(mal)(H₂O)₃]·1,5H₂O the hydrogen bonded ribbons are linked by O?H-O-H?O hydrogen bonds with the participation of the additional water solvate molecule positioned on the twofold axis. In both structures, π–π stacking interactions with different patterns in respective structures were found. The role of dispersion energy and many-body effects in the stabilization of bpy and 4,4′-dmbpy stacking interactions were investigated using methods of computational chemistry. Those confirm the dispersion-dominated stabilization of the 4,4′-dmbpy supramolecular chain-like structure, with only marginal impact of cooperativity effects. Thermal decompositions of both complexes start with dehydration. Magnetic susceptibility studies performed from 2 to 300 K revealed a dominant effect of the zero-field splitting of the Ni(II) ion, governing the low-temperature magnetic properties of both compounds.     

Intramolecular Rearrangements of >Si(O–C·=O)(CH2–CH3) and >Si(CH2–CH·–CH3)(CH2–CH3) Radicals

Using ESR and IR spectroscopy, the structures of >Si(O–C^·=O)(CH₂–CH₃) (1) and >Si(CH₂–CH^·–CH₃)(CH₂–CH₃) (2) radicals were deciphered. The directions and kinetic parameters of reactions of intramolecular rearrangements in these radicals were determined. The reactions of hydrogen atom abstraction in radical (1) from the CH₂ and CH₃ groups were studied. It was found that the endothermic reaction of hydrogen atom abstraction from the methyl group occurs at a higher rate than the exothermic reaction with the methylene group. The differences are determined by changes in the size of a cyclic transition state. Based on the experimental data, the strengths of separate C–H bonds in surface fragments are compared. The rearrangement >Si(CH₂–CH^·–CH₃)(CH₂–CH₃) >Si(C^·(CH₃)₂)(CH₂–CH₃) was discovered and its mechanism was determined. One of its steps is the skeletal isomerization Si- (2)- _. (1)Si- (1)- _. (2). Experimental data are analyzed using the results of quantum-chemical calculations of model systems.

The crystal structure of ammonium O,O′-(2-methylpentane-2,4-diyl) dithiophosphate is discussed. L¹, L², L³, and L⁴ were evaluated for antimicrobial activity. It was found that the phthalimide derivatives L³ and L⁴ showed much better antifungal potential against some species of fungus. The Zinc dithiophosphates L¹ and L² showed good antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli.
