Abstract  

Synthesis and structure of a new thiocyanato-bridged one-dimensional coordination polymer, [Cd(NCS)₂(TPPO)] _n (1, TPPO = triphenylphosphine oxide), have been described. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P2₁/c space group with the unit cell parameters: a = 9.4917(4) ?, b = 22.2895(11) ?, c = 11.3300(5) ?, β = 117.433(3)°, V = 2127.49(17) ?³, and Z = 4.

And the coordination fashion of thiocyanate group is different from the previous reported five-coordinated Cd-NCS systems.     

A Low Temperature Structure of Nonane-1,9-Diaminium Chloride Chloroacetate: Hydroxyacetic Acid (1:1)

Abstract  

The crystal structure of nonane-1,9-diaminium chloride chloroacetate–hydroxyacetic acid (1:1) was determined by X-ray diffraction at 100(1)K. The asymmetric unit is composed of diaminium dication, chloroacetate and chloride anions, and neutral hydroxyacetic acid molecule. The aliphatic chain of 1,9-diamine is fully extended and it deviates only slightly from the perfect all-trans conformation. The two acidic residues are also nearly planar. The layer structure is obtained as a consequence of hydrogen bond interactions of a different lengths, with N–H and O–H groups playing the role of donors and oxygen atoms and chloride cations as acceptors. The pattern of H bonding is investigated by graph-set analysis. Crystal data: crystal system: monoclinic, a = 4.6418 (2) ?, b = 25.5128 (11) ?, c = 15.9943 (9) ?, β = 99.784 (5)°, Z = 4, space group: P21/c, V = 1866.6(1) ?³.     

Crystal Structures of 1,7-Bis(furyl)-4-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione and 1,7-bis(thienyl)-4-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione

Abstract  

The title compounds (bis(alkenoyl) ketene dithioacetals) were prepared starting from the cyclic acyl ketene dithioacetal and aromatic aldehydes. These compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, mass spectral studies and X-ray crystal structure analysis. The bis(furyl) ketene dithioacetal crystallized in the space group P[`\text1] P{\bar{\text{1}}} with unit cell dimensions a = 7.7626(12) ?, b = 9.0217(13) ?, c = 26.827(5) ?, α = 86.271(14)°, β = 87.643(14)°, γ = 66.286(11)° and the structure was refined to an R-factor of 0.0528 while bis(thienyl) ketene dithioacetal crystallized in the space group P2₁/c with unit cell dimensions a = 10.2433(9) ?, b = 10.4142(6) ?, c = 18.0973(18) ?, β = 106.0° and the structure was refined to an R-factor of 0.0446. The ketenedithioacetal functionality present between the carbonyl groups prevents the possibility of keto-enol tautomerization in these compounds. In both the crystal structures, the crystal packing is stabilized by C–H···O hydrogen bonds as well as van der Waals interactions.

Abstract  

The reaction of tetra-n-butylammonium-octachloridodirhenate(III), (Bu₄N)₂[Re₂Cl₈], with molten 2-oxobutanoic acid Et(CO)CO₂H at 75 °C afforded pale-green tetra-n-butylammonium-hexachlorido-(2-oxobutanoato)-dirhenate(III), (Bu₄N)[Re₂(O₂C(CO)Et)Cl₆]. Slow evaporation of a solution in CHCl₃ yielded shiny, mint-green crystals of the dirhenate complex. The X-ray crystal structure determination (monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 11.6557(3) ?, b = 20.5382(5) ?, c = 13.9281(3) ?, β = 112.508(1)°, Z = 4) revealed the presence of [Re₂(O₂C(CO)Et)Cl₆]⁻ anions and tetra-n-butylammonium cations. The central [Re₂]⁶⁺ core with a Re≣Re quadruple bond of 2.2263(3) ? length is μ₂-bridged by one 2-oxobutanoato ligand and additionally coordinated by six chlorido ligands. Each dirhenate unit is linked via two Re···Cl contacts to dimeric, centrosymmetric entities of the constitution {[Re₂(O₂C(CO)Et)Cl₆]₂}²⁻. In the crystal, these dimers of dinuclear complexes are separated from each other by the bulky tetra-n-butylammonium cations.

The DKP rings in both molecules A and B have boat conformations with pseudo mm2 (C<sub>2v</sub>) symmetry if the N atoms and CH<sub>2</sub> groups are considered identical. In each case, the prow and stern of the boat are the α-carbons C(3) and C(6).

Details of the molecular geometry are compared with that of the parent compound cyclo(Gly-Gly) in which the DKP ring is planar with exact symmetry [`1] \bar{1} (C_i).

Could X-Ray Analysis Explain for the Differing Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activity of Two 2-Arylamino-3-Nitro-Coumarins?

Abstract  

X-Ray analyses of 4-(naphthalen-1-ylamino)-3-nitro-chromen-2-one and 3-nitro-4-phenylamino-chromen-2-one showed that the mentioned compounds crystallize in the space groups P1- (triclinic crystal system; unit cell parameters: a = 8.087(2) ?, b = 9.241(3) ?, c = 10.911(3) ?, α = 93.77(3)°, β = 102.51(3)°, γ = 106.44(2)°, V = 756.4(4) ?³ and Z = 2) and P2₁2₁2₁ (orthorhombic crystal system; unit cell parameters: a = 4.9274(9) ?, b = 14.725(3) ?, c = 17.866(4) ?, α = β = γ = 90°, V = 1296.3(5) ?³ and Z = 4), respectively. The analyses of crystal structures and gas phase conformations, inferred from single X-ray crystallographic and molecular modeling experiments, respectively, showed that the changes in π delocalization of the farmacoactive formal 3-amino-2-nitro-acrylic acid derivatives might explain the observed significant difference of the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and spectral properties of two 4-arylamino-3-nitro-coumarin derivatives.     

An X-Ray Crystallographic Study of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Methyl-3-nitro-4-(nitromethyl)-4<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-chromen-2-amine

Abstract  

4H-chromenes are among the essential groups of biologically important compounds used as synthetic ligands for drug designing and discovery process. In this study, we have presented the single-crystal structure analysis of racemic 4H-chromene derivative namely N-methyl-3-nitro-4-(nitromethyl)-4H-chromen-2-amine. The optical rotation measurement data is supporting that the title compound is racemic in nature. The compound was crystallized in monoclinic crystal system in the non-centrosymmetric space group P2₁ with unit cell parameters a = 5.1041 (3), b = 7.7519 (4), c = 14.7974 (8), α = 90°, β = 97.088 (5)° and γ = 90°. The nitro group of title compound is disordered over two orientations (N3A/O4A/O5A & N3B/O4B/O5B) with the refined site-occupancy ratio of 0.626(6)/0.374(6). The structure was solved by direct methods using the program SHELXS-97 and refined by SHELXL-97 with the full-matrix least square procedure to a final R-value of 0.0429 and Goodness of Fit (GooF) of 0.982. The molecules in the unit cell are stabilized by N–H···O and C–H···O types of hydrogen bonds. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds are forming C (6) motifs, which is observed to contribute the crystal packing stability. Moreover, the intramolecular hydrogen bonds are forming S (6) motif essential to stabilize the molecular structure of title compound.
