Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Dibromidobis(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-κS)cadmium(II) and Diiodidobis(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-κS)cadmium(II)

Abstract  

Cadmium(II) complexes, dibromidobis(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-S)cadmium(II), [Cd(Dmtu)₂Br₂] (1) and diiodidobis(N,N′-dimethylthiourea-S)cadmium(II), [Cd(Dmtu)₂I₂] (2), have been prepared and their structures have been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Compound 1 crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c, and the metal ion is situated on a twofold rotation axis. Compound 2 also crystallized in a monoclinic space group, P2₁/c, but here the molecules have no crystallographic symmetry. In both compounds the cadmium atom is bonded to two halide ions and to two dimethylthiourea molecules through the sulfur atoms in a tetrahedral environment. The molecules are linked via N–H⋯Halide hydrogen bonds to form infinite one-dimensional chains in 1 and infinite two dimensional networks in 2. The complexes were also characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and the data are consistent with the structures of the compounds.

Index Abstract  The title compound, s-cis-potassium-(ethylenediamine-N,N’-di-S,S-2-propionato) (oxalato)chromate(III) semihydrate was synthesized by passing the corresponding sodium salt through cation exchange-resin Merck I in potassium form and its crystal structure determined.

Abstract  

Dilithiated C(α), N-carbomethoxyhydrazones were condensed with lithiated methyl 2-(aminosulfonyl)benzoate to afford intermediates that were isolated and not characterized but cyclized with acetic anhydride, which also resulted in N-acetylation. The X-ray crystal structure determinations of methyl 2-acetyl-5′-phenyl-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate and methyl 2-acetyl-5′-(2-thienyl)-2H-spiro[benzo[d]isothiazole-3,3′-pyrazole]-1,1-dioxide-2′(4′H)-carboxylate products were a follow up for absorption spectra, and they confirmed their structures. Mechanistic intermediates to describe the reaction may include C-acylated intermediates that cyclize to spiro(N-benzoisothiazole dioxide-pyrazole) instead of N-carbomethoxypyrazole-ortho-benzenesulfonamides.

Abstract  

The title complex [Cu₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)(C₁₈H₁₅)₂(BF₄)₂] _n has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 10.450(4) Å, b = 14.027(5) Å, c = 18.950(6) Å, β = 100.459(5)°, V = 2,731.7(16) ų. In the title complex, the cation forms a linear chain, which is bridged by 4,4′-bipyridine and pyridine-2-carbaldehyde azine. The crystallographic asymmetry unit could be expanded polymeric structure using symmetry code: x, 1 + y, z; 1 − x, −y, 1 − z. The Cu(I) atom is coordinated by one P atom of PPh₃ ligand, two N atoms of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde azine ligand and one N atom of 4,4′-bipyridine ligand. There is a crystallographic centre of symmetry at the mid-point of the C–C bond between two pyridine rings of 4,4′-bipyridine.     

5-(thien-2-yl) uracil analogs: 5-(5-methylthien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine, 5-(5-thien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine,and 5-(5-bromothien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine

Space group, unit/cell parameters and finalR indices are:I, monoclinic,P2₁,a=9.105(2),b=20.819(2),c=7.932(2) Å, =98.79(2)°,R=5.7%;II, monoclinic,P2₁,a=8.720(4),b=20.793(4),c=7.884(4) Å, =95.06(2)°,R=5.8%;III, monoclinic,P2₁,a=9.260(2),b=41.655(7),c=7.926(2) Å, =97.996(13)°,R=9.4%. Structural properties of the title compounds are compared with those of 5-(5-chlorothien-2-yl)-2-deoxyuridine (IV) previously reported in order to explain their affinity for HSV-1 thymidine kinase and their eventual interaction with viral DNA polymerase. The main structural features observed are the coplanarity of the uracil and thienyl cycles stabilized by a S–O intramolecular interaction and the formation of dimeric intermolecular H bonds between two uracil moieties.

The title compounds, Methyl N-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate, I, and Methyl N-[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate, II, have been designed and synthesized for use as new potential organic molecular electronic materials. The crystal structure of I and II were determined with crystal data (I: Monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 4.746(2) ?, b = 5.737(3) ?, c = 17.399(7) ?, β = 91.667(7)o, R _all = 0.0703; II: Orthorhombic, Pna2₁, a = 18.209(8) ?, b = 11.463(5) ?, c = 7.539(3) ?, β = 90.00 o, R _all = 0.0481). N–H···N hydrogen bonds were responsible for the formation of one-dimensional zigzag molecular chains of I, and trifurcated hydrogen-bonded molecular chains were indicated in structure of II. C–H···π and C–H···N hydrogen bonds were found in both structures. All these types of interaction together form an extended three-dimensional network and stabilize the title crystals.

Synthesis and Structure of cis-Dioxo(3-Methoxysalicylaldehyde 4-Methylthiosemicarbazonato-N,O,S)(γ-Picoline-N)Molybdenum(VI)

Abstract  Red crystals of cis-dioxo(3-methoxysalicylaldehyde 4-methylthiosemicarbazonato-N,O,S)(γ-picoline-N)molybdenum(VI), [MoO₂L(γ-pic)], [L²⁻=CH₃OC₆H₄(O)CH=NN=C(S)NHCH₃, 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde 4-methylthiosemicarbazonato] were prepared by the reaction of [MoO₂L] _n with γ-picoline in dry methanol.

The coordination geometry around the molybdenum center is distorted octahedral with the tridentate thiosemicarbazonato ligand (L²⁻) bonded meridionally to the [MoO₂]²⁺ core. The sixth coordination site is occupied by a weakly bound γ-picoline molecule. The adjacent molecules are joined by the N–H···O hydrogen bonds between their amino and methoxy groups thus forming infinite molecular chains. The three-dimensional solid-state structure is achieved by the additional C–H···O, C–H···π and van der Waals interactions. Graphical Abstract  In the title compound, [MoO₂L(γ-pic)], the tridentate thiosemicarbazonato ligand (L²⁻) is meridionally bound to the [MoO₂]²⁺ core, while a molecule of γ-picoline completes the distorted octahedral coordination around the metal atom.

The X-Ray Structure and Spectroscopic Characterization of [Zn(H2O)6][{Zn(H2O)}2(ttha)]·4H2O (ttha?=?Triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N?,N?-hexaacetate)

Abstract  

[Zn(H₂O)₆][{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]·4H₂O (ttha = triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N‴,N‴-hexaacetate) has been structurally characterized (triclinic, P-1, a = 7.4014(4) ?, b = 8.5521(4) ?, c = 15.0309(7) ?, α = 73.582(1)°, β = 85.173(1)°, γ = 69.935(1)°; V = 857.15(7) ?³; Z = 1). The two Zn²⁺ ions bound by the [ttha]⁻⁶ ligand are in distorted octahedral environments. While there exists a center of symmetry in the [{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]²⁻ anion in the crystalline state, ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopy demonstrates the absence of a center of symmetry in aqueous solution. Furthermore, electronic absorption spectroscopy reveals that [Zn(H₂O)₆][{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]·4H₂O reacts with vanadyl(IV) acetate in aqueous solution at room temperature to yield [(VO)₂(ttha)]²⁻. This reaction implies that Zn²⁺ can dissociate from [{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]²⁻ in aqueous solution.
