N-Phenyl-N''-ethoxycarbonyl-thiourea

Thiourea compounds are excellent bioactive agents. A number of biological activities are associated with substituted thiourea derivatives, and some N-substituted-N'-alkoxycarbonyl-thiourea have been used as antifungal agents. On the other hand, N-substituted-N'-alkoxycarbonyl-thiourea have attracted considerable attention in recent years because of its coordination ability with transition metal ions such as Cu(Ⅰ), Zn(Ⅱ) and Cd(Ⅱ).As a part of our works in researching coordination behaviours, synthesis and biological activities of N-substituted-N'-alkoxycarbonyl-thiourea, the present work was reported on the crystal structure of N-phenyl-N'- ethoxycarbonyl-thiourea.Fig. 1 Molecular structure of the title compound Fig. 2 Packing diagram of molecules shows the hydrogen bond intermolecular contacts.Ethyl chloroformate was treated with potassium thiocyanate in ethyl acetate under the condition of solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis using 3% polyethylene glycol-400 as the catalyst to give the corresponding ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate, which was reacted with aniline to give the title compound. The solid was separated from the liquid phase by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate and then dried in air. The single crystals of the title compound was obtained by the slow evaporation of its ethanol solution after 2 weeks, one of them was selected optically for the diffraction study and glued to a glass fibre.The crystals structure in the triclinic system and space group of P-1 of N-phenyl-N'-ethoxycarbonyl-thiourea was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,a = 5.787 (1) A, b = 10.218 (2) A, c = 10.501 (2) A, a = 109.39(2)°, a = 94.41(2)°, a = 100.04(1) °,Ⅴ = 570.6 (2) A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.305 Mg/m3, i (Mo Ka)= 0.266 mm-1, F(000) = 236. The final R andu R are 0.0358 and 0.0919 for 1823 observed reflections [Ⅰ＞2o(Ⅰ)].Fig. 1 shows the molecular crystal structure indicating that the carbonyl and thiocarbonyl moieties are pointing in approximate opposite directions. The compound adopts a cis-trans conformation,where the phenyl moiety and the ethoxycarbonyl moiety lie respectively cis and trans relative to the S atom across the thiourea C-N bonds. Fig. 2 shows both H atoms connecting with N atoms participate in intermolecular hydrogen bonds: one of them exists between N(2) and S atoms with N(2)...S = 3.3556(16)A, N(2)-H = 0.86A and H...S = 2.51A, whereas the other one exists between N(1) and O(1) atoms with N(1)...O(1) = 3.2082(19)A, N(1)-H = 0.86A and H...O(1) = 2.52A. The molecules in the crystal pack in stacks of alternating orientation and are hydrogen bonded in a ribbon-like fashion approximately parallel to the b direction.

SYNTHESIS OF A GROUP OF MESOGEN JACKETED LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMERS

A group of the mesogen jacketed liquid crystal polymers based on the monomers 2,5-bis (4-substituted benzoyl)oxystyrenes are synthesized. The substituents include alkoxy, alkyl, and cyano groups. The synthesis and the primary characterization of the liquid crystal phase of the monomers and the polymers are described. While some of the monomers give smectic textures the polymers are found to be nematic above their melting or glass transition temperatures. Interestingly the unsubstituted monomer and its polymer poly 2,5-di( benzoyloxy ) styrene are also liquid crystalline. The single crystal structure of one of the monomers is also discussed.     

Stability of the polar {111} NaCl crystal face

We present a surface x-ray diffraction determination of the {111} NaCl-liquid interface structure. Using ultrathin water or formamide liquid layers we ascertained that the crystal surface is smooth at an atomic level and is not reconstructed. Our results reveal surprisingly small differences in surface structure between the two cases, which nevertheless lead to dramatic differences in crystal morphology. We determined that the rocksalt {111} surface is Na(+) terminated for both environmental conditions. A quarter to half a monolayer of laterally disordered Cl(-) ions is located on top of a fully ordered Na(+) crystal surface with occupancy 0.75-1.0. This means that the polar surface is stabilized through the formation of an electrochemical double layer.     

Temperature-dependent structure of methyltributylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide: X ray scattering and simulations

We report the combined results of computational and x ray scattering studies of amorphous methyltributylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide as a function of temperature. These studies included the temperature range for the normal isotropic liquid, a deeply supercooled liquid and the glass. The low q peaks in the range from 0.3 to 1.5 A(-1) in the structure function of this liquid can be properly accounted for by correlations between first and second nearest neighbors. The lowest q peak can be assigned to real space correlations between ions of the same charge, while the second peak arises mostly from nearest neighbors of opposite charge. Peaks at larger q values are mostly intramolecular in nature. While our simulated structure functions provide an excellent match to our experimental results and our experimental findings agree with previous studies reported for this liquid, the prior interpretation of the experimental data in terms of an interdigitated smectic A phase is not supported by our simulations. In this work, we introduce a set of general theoretical partitions of real and reciprocal space correlations that allow for unambiguous analysis of all intra- and interionic contributions to the structure function and coherent scattering intensity. We find that the intermolecular contributions to the x ray scattering intensity are dominated by the anions and cross terms between cations and anions for this ionic liquid.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3-(Pyrrole-2''-carboxamido)propanoic Acid·(1/2)H2O

3-(Pyrrole-2'-carboxamido)propanoic acid I has been synthesized from the reaction of β-alanine methyl ester with 2-trichloroacetylpyrrole followed by saponifying and acidating in 85.4% yield, and the crystal structure of 3-(pyrrole-2'-carboxamido)propanoic acid· (1/2)H2O (C8H11N2O3.5, Mr = 191.19) was obtained and determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystal is of monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 19.010(4), b = 8.3515(17), c = 13.788(3) (A), β = 125.88(3)°, V = 1773.6(6) (A)3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.432 g/cm3, λ = 0.71073 (A), μ-MoKα) = 0.114 mm-1 and F(000) = 768. The structure was refined to R = 0.0354 and wR = 0.0942 for 1642 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). It is revealed that the title compound has one pyrrole ring and one propionic acid subchain linked by an amido bond at C(4), and there are 8 molecules of com- pound I and 4 crystal water molecules in each unit cell. The supramolecular layers are stabilized by the hydrogen bonds of N(2) H…O(2), N(1) H…O(4), O(4) H(1W)…O(2) and O(3) H…O(1).     

One-dimensional metallic conducting pathway of cyclohexyl-substituted spiro-biphenalenyl neutral radical molecular crystal

The unprecedented metallic character of the cyclohexyl-substituted spiro-biphenalenyl neutral radical molecular crystal (5) suggested by its Pauli paramagnetism [Science 2005, 309, 281] is contradicted by the thermally activated conduction measured along the needle axis of crystal 5 and by an optical gap of Eg = 0.34 eV. Herein we provide the first high quality ab initio electronic structure calculations using density functional theory to reconcile these properties. The calculations point toward 5 being a quasi one-dimensional (1-D) material, with a 1-D conducting pathway along the [101] pi-chain direction. Along any directions other than the pi-chain, conduction is impeded by the small interchain overlap. 5 has a quarter-filled band structure with a density of states of N(Ef) = 7.5 states eV-1 at the Fermi level, leading to a metallic character along the pi-chain.     

Convenient preparation and full characterization of a synthetically useful salt of the dithianitronium cation, SNSSbF6, from readily available starting materials

The synthetically useful SNSSbF6 is prepared, in good yield, from the reactions of S3N2Cl2 or S3N3Cl3 with stoichiometric amounts of AgSbF6 and S8 in liquid SO2. SNSSbF6 crystallizes monoclinic in space group C2/m (a = 9.740(2) A, b = 6.644(2) A, c = 5.334(1) A, beta = 90.58(2) degrees , Z = 2). The crystal structure was determined by standard methods and refined to R1 = 0.019 and wR2 = 0.048. The structure consists of discrete linear centrosymmetric SNS+ cations [S-N = 1.4871(10) A] and almost octahedral SbF6- anions, with weak cation-anion interactions. The lattice energy of SNSSbF6 was determined from the volume-based method as 525 +/- 32 KJ mol(-1) and the heat of formation of SNSSbF(6(s)) has been estimated as -1566 +/- 24 KJ mol(-1). The FT-IR, Raman, and (14)N NMR spectra are reported, as well as an in situ study of the reaction of S3N2Cl2 with AsF5 in SO2 solution.     

Unexpected high ordering of a [60]Fullerene nitroxide in the nematic phase of 4-4'-azoxyanisole

A nitroxide [60]fullerene adduct containing a pyrrolidine-1-oxyl group has been synthesized. Its orientational order in the nematic phase of the liquid crystal solvent 4,4'-azoxyanisole (PAA) has been measured from the variation of the EPR spectral parameters on passing from the isotropic to the nematic phase. Highly resolved EPR lines allow for precise evaluation of the shifts of the g , a N and a H values. Since the g and the hyperfine tensors are known, the order matrix could be obtained. This is compared with the one calculated with a theoretical model based on short range solute-solvent interactions, which predicts a considerable degree of orientation of the molecular axes, despite the almost spherical shape of the molecule. The agreement with experimental findings is quite good and it is further improved if a bent structure of the pyrrolidine ring is taken into account.

The V(Ⅴ) atom is six-coordinated by one O atom of oxo group, two O atoms and one N atom of the tridentate hydrazone ligand, as well as one N atom and one O atom of 8-hydroxyquinoline ligand, thus defining a distorted octahedral VO(ONO)(NO) geometry. A two-dimensional supramolecular layer structure is formed through π-π stacking interactions. CCDC: 268672.

Liquid crystal photo-alignment layers made from aromatic bismaleimides

We propose a new type of liquid crystal photo-alignment layer made from aromatic bismaleimides. Aromatic bismaleimides are expected to react anisotropically by irradiation of polarized ultraviolet (UV) light. In the fabrication process of the new photo-alignment layers the curing process is much shorter than that needed for conventional polymeric types of photo-alignment layers. We have proved that the use of aromatic bismaleimides enables liquid crystal molecules to be aligned homogeneously by irradiation of polarized UV light. In particular N , N '- p -phenylenebismaleimide shows good photo-alignment characteristics and high UV sensitivity. In studying the relationship between molecular structures of aromatic bismaleimides and photo-alignment properties, we find that aromatic bismaleimides that have a linear molecular structure and resonance structure produce good photo-alignment layers.     

Polymerizable surfactant design for transmission electron microscopy

Polymerized liposomes and vesicles are under close scrutiny as long-lived, stable substitutes for their natural and synthetic unpolymerized counterparts. The monomer surfactant, which contains one or more polymerizable groups, is dispersed in water at the proper temperature and concentration to form the lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of interest and polymerized while in the liquid crystalline state. In addition to their applications to slow-release and site-specific drug delivery, membrane-mediated chemistry, artificial photosynthesis, etc., polymerized surfactant liposomes and vesicles hold great promise as model systems for TEM investigations of lamellar liquid crystal structure. One such model polymerizable surfactant is DBPAl, or N,N-dimethyl-N,N-bis(1,3-pentadecadienyl-carbonyloxyethyl) ammonium iodide. Polarized light microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) confirm that DBPAI forms lamellar liquid crystalline liposomes in water. The DBPAI liposomes were polymerized while in the liquid crystalline state by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The DBPAI liposomes were shown to be identical in structure before and after polymerization by a combination of X-ray diffraction and freeze-fracture TEM. However, turbidity measurements showed that the polymerized DBPAI liposomes were much more stable in acetone and ethanol than the monomer DBPAI liposomes, demonstrating that the chemical nature of the surfactant in the liposome had changed. The combination of structural preservation and enhanced chemical stability makes DBPAI a natural choice for TEM thin-sections. A method of preparing DBPAI liposomes for thin-section TEM is outlined and bilayer resolution images of the DBPAI liposomes are presented. Polymerized bilayers in thin-section TEM promise the enhanced resolution required to answer many important structural questions left unresolved by freeze-fracture TEM.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Fluorescene of a One-dimensional Compound {CdI2（2,2＇-bipy）}n

The title compound, {CdI2(2,2'-bipy)}n, was prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of CdI2 and 2,2'-bipy in an aqueous solution, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single-crystal analysis. Crystallographic data for 1: C10H8N2CdI2, monoclinic system, space group C2/c, a = 16.927(1), b = 10.0925(7), c = 7.7422(3) (A), β = 106.0629(4)°, V = 1271.00(14)(A)3, Z = 4, F(000) = 944, μ = 6.546 mm-1, Dc= 2.730 g/cm3, Mr = 522.38, the final R = 0.0309 and wR = 0.0805 for 1310 observed reflections (I＞2σ(Ⅰ)). X-ray crystal structure analysis shows that the Cd atom is coordinated by four iodines and two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipy to form an 1-D chain-like structure through bridging iodines. The fluorescene of the title compound was also discussed.     

Glycosylidene Carbenes,Part 30 , Crystal Structure of a Glucose‐Derived N,N‐Unsubstituted Alkoxydiaziridine

The crystal structure of 1,5‐anhydro‐2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐benzyl‐1‐hydrazi‐D ‐glucitol ( 2 ) is reported and compared with the structures of other diaziridines. It is the first crystal structure of an N,N‐unsubstituted diaziridine, noncoordinated at the N‐atom, and the first crystal structure of a C‐alkoxy‐diaziridine. Although there is considerable shortening of the C(5)O−C(1) bond, there is no asymmetry in the C(1)−N bond length, the C(5)O, C(1), C(2) plane bisecting the N−N bond. The C(1)−N bonds appear to be slightly shorter and the N−N bond longer than the average for diaziridines, although the structural data for diaziridines do not lend themselves to unequivocal interpretation.     

Variation in molecular stacking resulting from the different polarity of liquid crystalline molecules: synthesis and study of azo dye compounds

To investigate the effect of molecular polarity on the packing of liquid crystalline molecules, two liquid crystals, N , N -disubstituted aminophenylazo-4-alkylbenzenes, were synthesized and studied by single crystal structure determination. A comparison of the resulting molecular stacking with that of N , N -disubstituted aminophenylazo-4-butylbenzoate was made.     

Synthesis and Characterization of [Cu(N-MeIm)4(BF4)2] in Ionic Liquid

A new transition metal complex, [Cu(N-MeIm)₄(BF₄)₂](N-MeIm=N-methylated imidazoles, BF₄= tetrafluoroborate), was synthesized via the solvothermal method in ionic liquid. The ionic liquid acts as thermal decomposition reaction medium, soft temple agent and ligand compound. The central Cu(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from four N-methylated imidazole ligands, and the four N-methylated imidazole rings are perpendicular to each other. The crystal structure of [Cu(N-MeIm)₄(BF₄)₂] was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results of thermogravimetry(TG) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FTIR) analyses were in accordance with that of crystal structure. The complex showed strong ligand-based absorbance with maximum wavelength at 208 and 231 nm, which are attributed to π-π^* transition of the N-methylated imidazole ligands.
