The novel dioxime, (4Z,5E)-pyrimidine-2,4,5,6(1H,3H)-tetraone 4,5-dioxime (H₂-PTD) was obtained by the interaction of 6-amino-5-nitrosopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione with hydroxylamine hydrochloride. X-ray structural analysis determined the 4Z,5E-configuration of the corresponding monoanion, pyrimidine-2,6(1H,3H)-dione-4-iminole-5-iminolate in the inclusion complexes with diazonia-18-crown-6 (1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazoniacyclooctadecane) (H₂-DA18C6)²⁺ (complex (1), stoichiometry 2 : 1), and its ammonium salt in the complex with the cis-syn-cis isomer of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6(DCHA) (cis-syn-cis-2,5,8,15,18,21-hexaoxatricyclo (20.4.0.0^9,14)hexacosane) (complex (2), stoichiometry 1 : 1). X-ray data were also obtained for the complex of the product of (H₂-PTD) cyclization, (1,2,5)-oxadiazolo(3,4-d)pyrimidine-5,7(4H,6H)-dione (OPD) with diaqua diaza-18-crown-6 (complex (3), stoichiometry 2 : 2 : 1).In (1) the (H-PTD)^- anions are joined into dimers through the bifurcated OH...N and OH...O hydrogen bonds and alternate with diazonia-18-crown-6 cations in the chains sustained by the NH(crown) ... O and NH(crown) ...N interactions. The chains are further combined into the 3D network via NH...O(crown) hydrogen bonds. In (2) the self-complementarity of the (H-PTD)^- anions facilitates their assembly into the chain via OH...N, NH...O and OH...O interactions. The ammonium cations bridge each anion and the DCHA macrocycle with the formation of a ribbon developed along the [101] direction in the unit cell. Ternary complex (3) is built of the neutral species, diaza-18-crown-6, water molecules and dimers of OPD alternated in the chains and held together by OH...O and NH...O hydrogen bonds.

The compounds obtained were investigated by ¹H, ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis. The molecular structure of the thiourea HL^III was elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies showed that HL^III forms both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which in turn leads to the formation of polymeric chains. One of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds is of the type N?H…S. Moreover, the formation of intermolecular C?H…η⁶-phenyl interactions was established.

A novel dinuclear nickel(II) complex Ni₂(NO₃)₄(APTY)₄ (1) (APTY?=?1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-4-{[(1E)-pyridine-4-ylmethylene]amino}-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one), was synthesized by solvothermal reaction of Ni(NO₃)₂?·?6H₂O with APTY in methanol at 353?K. The structure consists of centrosymmetric dimers resulting from octahedrally coordinated Ni atoms bridged by APTY ligands. Weak intermolecular interactions (C–H?···?N, C–H?···?O hydrogen bonding, C–H?···?π and π–π stacking interactions) are responsible for a supramolecular assembly of molecules in the lattice.

Reaction of CuCl₂ · 2H₂O, phenanthroline, maleic acid and NaOH in CH₃OH/H₂O (1:1 v/v) at pH = 7.0 yielded blue {[Cu(phen)]₂(C₄H₂O₄)₂} · 4.5H₂O, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) with cell dimensions: a = 18.127(2)Å, b = 12.482(2)Å, c = 14.602(2)Å, β = 103.43(1)°, U = 3213.5(8)ų, Z = 4. The crystal structure consists of the centrosymmetric dinuclear {[Cu(phen)]₂(C₄H₂O₄)₂} complex molecules and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. The Cu atoms are each square‐pyramidally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and three carboxyl O atoms of two maleato ligands with one carboxyl O atom at the apical position (d(Cu‐N) = 2.008, 2.012Å, equatorial d(Cu‐O) = 1.933, 1.969Å, axial d(Cu‐O) = 2.306Å). Two square‐pyramids are condensed via two apical carboxyl O atoms with a relatively larger Cu···Cu separation of 3.346(1)Å. The dinuclear complex molecules are assembled via the intermolecular π—π stacking interactions into 1D ribbons. Crossover of the resulting ribbons via interribbon π—π stacking interactions forms a 3D network with the tunnels occupied by H₂O molecules. The title complex behaves paramagnetically between 5—300 K, following the Curie‐Weiss law _χm(T—θ) = 0.435 cm³ · mol^—1 · K with θ = 1.59 K.

Über 4-Alkylamino-bzw. 4-Arylamino-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinthione

Heating 1-alkyl- or 1-aryldihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones5, 6 in an inert medium causes rearrangement to 4-alkylamino-(4-arylamino-)-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinethiones11, 12, probably via the methylene form29, by thermal heterolysis of the N₁/C₂ bond and exchange of the alkylamino (arylamino) group 1 through the carbon atom of the methylene group 6. The aminodihydropyridinethiones11, which can be regarded as cyclic derivatives of 3-aminothiocrotonamide, react with bistrichlorophenylmalonate under diacylation, and with formaldehyde and primary amines to yield aminodialkylation products of the enamine system, tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-7,7-dimethyl-5-thioxopyrido[4,3-b]pyridine-2(1H)-ones13, 14 and hexahydro-7,7-dimethylpyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine-5(6H)-thiones18, 19, 21 respectively. H₂O₂ converts11 to the corresponding 4-aminodihydro-2(1H)-pyridones22, which can be reconverted into11 with P₄S₁₀.11 reacts with alkyl halides to 2-alkylthiodihydropyridines23, 24, 25.

Synthesis and electrochemical study of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole complexes with transition metals (CoII, NiII, and CuII). Molecular structure of aquabis[2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole]copper(II) diperchlorate

The reactions of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (1) with MX₂·nH₂O salts (M = Ni^II, Co^II, or Cu^II; X = Cl or ClO₄; n = 0–2) in EtOH afforded the corresponding complexes. Depending on the nature of the counterion in the starting metal salt, the reactions give compounds of composition M(1)Cl₂·nH₂O or Cu(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O. The molecular and crystal structure of the Cu^II(1)₂(ClO₄)₂·H₂O complex was established by X-ray diffraction. The copper atom in this complex has a distorted tetragonal-pyramidal ligand environment and is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of two ligand molecules and one water molecule. Electrochemical study of the ligand and the resulting complexes by cyclic voltammetry and at a rotating disk electrode demonstrated that ligand 1 stabilizes reduced forms of complexes containing Ni, Co, or Cu atoms in the oxidation state +1.

The structures of all compounds have been solved by direct methods on the basis of X‐ray diffraction data sets. The crystallographic data are as follows: ( 1 ): orthorhombic, Pna2₁, a = 13.677(2), b = 11.8707(13), c = 7.6397(9) Å, V = 1240.4(3) ų, R₁ = 0.045 for 2396 independent observed reflections; ( 2 ): triclinic, P1¯, a = 8.4261(12), b = 11.8636(15), c = 13.3279(18) Å, α = 102.612(10), β = 107.250(10), γ = 102.510(10)°, V = 1183.7(3) ų, R₁ = 0.067 for 4762 independent observed reflections; ( 3 ): orthorhombic, Pbnm, a = 11.3761(14), b = 15.069(2), c = 19.2089(17) Å, V = 3292.9(7) ų, R₁ = 0.075 for 3808 independent observed reflections. The structures of the phases 1 , 2 , and 3 are based upon uranyl selenate hydrate sheets composed from corner‐sharing pentagonal [UO₇]^8— bipyramids and [SeO₄]^2— tetrahedra. In the crystal structure of 1 , the sheets have composition [(UO₂)(SeO₄)₂(H₂O)]^2— and run parallel to (001). The interlayer contains Rb⁺ cations and additional H₂O molecules. In structure of 2 , the [(UO₂)₂(SeO₄)₃(H₂O)₂]^2— sheets are oriented parallel to (101). Highly disordered Rb⁺ cations and H₂O molecules are located between the sheets. The structure of 3 is based upon [(UO₂)₃(SeO₄)₅(H₂O)]^4— sheets stacked parallel to (010) and contains Rb⁺ cations in the interlayers. The topologies of the uranyl oxoselenate sheets observed in the structures of 1 , 2 , and 3 are related to the same simple and highly‐symmetric graph consisting of 3‐connected white and 6‐connected black vertices.
