Compound 3b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with a = 9.004(2) Å, b = 9.447(2) Å, c = 11.713(2) Å, = 76.70(3), = 83.12(3), = 82.16(3), V = 956.5(3) Å,³ and Z = 2. Both stilbazole derivatives have Z-geometry about the ethylene bridge which links the heterocyclic and aromatic rings. The molecular skeleton of 3a is slightly non-planar: the dihedral angles between the acrylonitrile linkage and the pyridine ring, and between this linkage and the p-hydroxyphenyl ring are 7.2(2) and 4.1(2), respectively. The molecular skeleton of 3b is less planar: the values of similar dihedral angles are 17.0(2) and 20.8(2), respectively. In the crystal of 3a, the molecules are packed in stacks along the a axis with head-to-head orientation. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds O=H s N and C=H s N link molecules into sheets parallel to (100) plane. In the crystals of 3b, the molecules have a head-to-tail orientation and intermolecular hydrogen bonds O=H s N link the molecules into infinite chains along [01-1] direction.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of bis(2,2′-bipyridyl)mononitritozinc(II) perchlorate. An example of a six-coordinate cis-octahedral ZnN4O2 chromophore

The crystal structure of bis(2,2-bipyridyl)mononitritozinc(II) perchlorate, [Zn(bipy)₂ (ONO)][ClO₄] (1) has been determined. The complex is monoclinic, with a = 10.9195(4) Å, b = 12.2320(5) Å, c = 16.5477(8) Å, = 105.6150(10), P2₁/n space group, with final R1 = 0.0657 and wR2 = 0.1630. The complex involves a [Zn(bipy)₂ (ONO)]⁺ cation and a [ClO₄]^– anion. The ZnN₄O₂ chromophore is six-coordinate, with a cis-distortion of the two oxygens of the nitrite, O(1) and O(2), at distances 2.216(5) and 2.197(5) Å from the zinc (Zn– O _mean = 2.206(5) Å, O = 0.019(5) Å) and two out of plane Zn–N bonds, Zn–N(2) and Zn–N(3), at 2.129(4) and 2.135(4) Å (Zn–n _mean/out = 2.132(4) Å, n _2,3 = 0.006(4) Å). The two inplane nitrogens, N(1) and N(4), at distances Zn–N(1) = 2.090(4) and Zn–N(4) = 2.085(4) Å (Zn–n _mean/in = 2.087(4) Å, n _1,4 = 0.005(4) Å) are greater than 2.0 Å, but slightly shorter than the axial bonds. The inplane angles ₁, ₂, and ₃ in 1 have values 150.33(18), 108.98(17), and 99.73(18) respectively. The stereochemistry is cis-distorted octahedral, with an ₃ = 99.37(18), which is lower than ₃ = 103.4(1) observed in [Zn(bipy)₂(ONO)][NO₃] (5). Comparison with the corresponding [Cu(bipy)₂(ONO)][Y] complexes suggested that the cis-distortion of the CuN₄O₂ chromophore in the copper(II) series does not originate in the Jahn–Teller or pseudo-Jahn–Teller effect.

A comparative study on structure and conformation of three hydroxybenzylamine ligands

Structure and conformation of three tridentate ligands are determined. All these three compounds crystallize in different space groups, the details are as follows: Bis[(3,5-dimethyl,2-hydroxy)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy]benzylcyclohexylamine (DHBC): monoclinic I2/a (a = 17.691(1) Å, b = 9.707(1) Å, c = 24.235(2) Å, = 91.028(1)°); bis[(3,5-dimethyl,2-hydroxy)-2-hydroxy-5-bromo]benzylcyclohexylamine (DHBrBC): tetragonal P4₁2₁2 (a = b = 12.1138(1) Å, c = 28.485(1) Å) and bis[(3,5-dimethyl,2-hydroxy)-2-hydroxy-5-bromo]benzylmethylamine (DHBrBM): triclinic (a = 5.228(1), b = 12.364(1) Å, c = 13.234(1) Å, = 94.04(1)°, = 95.72(1),° = 95.90(1)°). The cyclohexane rings in DHBC and DHBrBC assume chair conformation. Both the phenyl rings are planar in all the molecules and orient at angles of 75.5(1)°, 62.2(1)°, and 53.9(2)°, respectively with each other. The bond angles around N atom show the sp³ character. Inter- and intramolecular O–HN and O–HO types of hydrogen bondings stabilize the molecules in the unit cell in addition to van der Waals forces.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of 3,5-di(2-propenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione and 2-dimethylamino-4-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine

The title compound 3,5-di(2-propenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione has been synthesized by the reaction of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione with allyl bromide. Its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic, space group Pbca with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 16.282(4) Å, b = 8.888(2) Å, c = 19.281(5) Å, = 90°, = 90°, = 90°, = 0.088 mm^–1, V = 2790.1(13) ų, z = 8, Dx = 1.282 mg/m³, F(000) = 1136, T = 293(2) K, 2.11° 25.02°, the final R factor: R ₁ = 0.0430, wR₂ = 0.0981. The X-ray results demonstrate that the reaction of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione with allyl bromide in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide and potassium carbonate yields the N-alkylated product. The title compound 2-dimethylamino-4-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine has been synthesized by a new reaction, in which the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide involves. Its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P-1 with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 7.977(2) Å, b = 10.394(3) Å, c = 10.837(3) Å, = 111.774(5)°, = 104.050(5)°, = 99.446(5)°, = 0.093 mm^–1, V = 776.6(4) ų, z = 2, Dx = 1.293 mg/m³, F(000) = 320, T = 293(2) K, 2.14° 25.03°, the final R factor: R ₁ = 0.0582, wR ₂ = 0.1399. The distance of N(4) C(2) (1.339 Å) is much shorter than the length of normal C N (1.47 Å) and very close to that of C-N (1.33 Å), which is indicative of the significant double bond character.
