N-phenylisonaphthalimide. Structure of the product of the reaction of 1,8-naphthaloyl chloride with aniline

It is shown that N-phenylisonaphthalimide rather than N-phenylnaphthalimide, as previously assumed, is formed in the reaction of 1,8-naphthaloyl chloride with aniline.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1114–1115, August, 1985.     

Crystal structures of dioxonium hexafluorotantalate and dioxonium hexafluoroniobate complexes with tetrabenzo-30-crown-10

Two isostructural complexes of dioxonium [H₅O₂]⁺ with tetrabenzo-30-crown-10 of the compositions [(tetrabenzo-30-crown-10 · H₅O₂)][TaF₆] (I) and [(tetrabenzo-30-crown-10 · H₅O₂)][NbF₆] (II) are studied using X-ray diffraction. The complexes crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system (space group C2/c, Z = 4). The unit cell parameters of these compounds are as follows: a = 15.6583(12) Å, b = 15.2259(13) Å, c = 16.4473(13) Å, and β = 99.398(6)° for complex I and a = 15.7117(12) Å, b = 15.2785(15) Å, c = 16.5247(15) Å, and β = 99.398(7)° for complex II. These complexes belong to the ionic type. The dioxonium cation [H₅O₂]⁺ in the form of the two-unit cluster [H₃O · H₂O]⁺ is stabilized by the strong hydrogen bond OH?O [O?O, 2.353(4) Å] and encapsulated by the crown ether. Each oxygen atom of the dioxonium cation also forms two oxygen bonds O?O(crown). The crown ether adopts an unusual two-level (pocket-like) conformation, which provides a complete encapsulation of the oxonium associate. The interaction of the cationic complex with the anion in the crystal occurs through contacts of the C-H?F type.
