Two-dimensional crown ether complex. Synthesis and crystal structure of [Na(N15C5)]<Subscript>2</Subscript>[Cu(mnt)<Subscript>2</Subscript>]

A novel crown ether complex [Na(N15C5)]₂[Cu(mnt)₂] (1) (where N15C5 = 2,3-naphtho-15-crown-5 and mnt = maleonitriledithiolate, [C₂S₂(CN)₂]^2–) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, UV-visible spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis reveals that the complex 1 consists of two [Na(N15C5)]⁺ complex cations and one [Cu(mnt)₂]^2– complex anion and the complex molecules are assembled into a novel 2D network by Na–N interactions. In the network, there are 34-member macrocycles formed by four sodium ions of complex cations and four complex anions through Na–N bonds. In each macrocycle, – stacking interactions occurred between two parallel naphthylene moieties of N15C5. It is interesting that the 2D network displays an open-capped wave-like sheet viewed along the crystallographic a axis.     

Synthesis,thermal reactivity and structure of 1,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethynyl)benzene

The crystal structure of the new enediyne 3 was determined by X-ray diffraction. 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61) with a = 12.7148(9) Å, b = 7.4872(8) Å, c = 38.890(4) Å, = = = 90 and Z = 8. The three-dimensional structure is characterized by an 8-membered cyclic array linking four molecules of 3 by hydrogen bonding between phenolic and methoxy groups. Furthermore, stabilization by –-stacking and CH s interactions is present. The important cd distance (between the two terminal acetylene carbons of the enediyne) which is relevant for the Bergman cyclization, was determined to 401 pm, being in good agreement with the high cyclization barrier ( G = 147.9 kJ mol^–1 at 220C) that was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).     

Crystal structures of bis(4-dimethylaminopyridinium) tetrachlorocobaltate(II) and bis-[1,3-di (ammoniummethyl)benzene]tetrachlorocobaltate(II)

The crystal structures consist of organoammonium cations hydrogen bonded to tetrahedral CoCl₄ ^2– anions. In the 4-dimethylaminopyridinium salt, [(CH₃)₂NC₅H₅NH]₂CoCl₄, pairs of cations hydrogen bond in an asymmetric fashion to two of the chlorines in each anion. The planar cations form two sets of – stacks, first parallel to the a axis and the second parallel to the b axis. The anions lie between these two nonintersecting sets of stacks. In contrast, for the second compound, [C₆H₄(CH₂NH₃)₂]CoCl₄, the tetrahedral CoCl₄ ^2– anions form layers lying parallel to the bc plane. The 1,3-di(ammoniummethyl)benzene cations crosslink adjacent anionic layers, forming a lamellar structure of alternating organic and inorganic layers.

The structure consists of centrosymmetric dimers in which the Cu(II) atoms display a square pyramidal CuO₅ coordination, with four carboxylate O atoms in the basal plane [CuO 1.951(2)–1.968(2)Å] and the methanol O atoms in the apical position [CuO 2.170(2)Å]. The Cu atoms are 2.614(1)Å apart and are bridged by four benzoate groups. The discrete dimers are extended into 1D chains that result from hydrogen bonding between the coordinated methanol on one Cu(II) dimer and the nitro substituent on an adjacent Cu(II) dimer. The chains are interdigited and held by – stacking interactions forming 3D supramolecular array.

The dinuclear complex has crystallographically imposed centrosymmetry with one S atom of the bdt ligand bridging the Cd atoms in an asymmetric fashion (Cd–S = 2.5743(5) and 2.6817(5) Å) while the second S atom is bound in a terminal mode (Cd–S = 2.4955(5) Å). The mean interplanar spacing between the phen ligand and the phenyl ring of the bdt ligand is 3.291 Å while that between the phen ligands of adjacent molecules is 3.363 Å, suggesting the presence of both intra- and intermolecular -stacking. The complex is emissive in the solid state at room temperature (_em = 569 nm) with a luminecsent lifetime of 369 ns. The unstructured emission is believed to be a ligand-to-ligand –* charge transfer transition.     

Crystal structure of 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-5, 8-dimethoxyquinoxaline

Crystals of 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-5,8-dimethoxyquinoxaline (bpdmq) were examined using X-ray diffraction analysis: Monoclinic, space group P2 ₁/n with a = 6.9362(14) Å, b =17.285(4) Å, c =13.583(3) Å, =96.21(3)°, V =1619.0(6) ų, Z = 4. The crystal structure indicates that the title compound consists of quinoxaline ring system substituted with two pyridine rings and two methoxy groups. Two pyridine rings form dihedral angles of 39.8 and 44.1° with the mean planar quinoxaline ring, and a dihedral angle of 67.1° with each other. The orientation of the pyridine rings is such that their N atoms face each other.

Structure of methylphenylhydrazone form of 2-(2-methylphenylazo)-1,3-indandione

The molecule crystallizes in a ketohydrazone tautomeric form. The tautomeric form is stabilized by a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond of 2.709(2) Å binding the 3-oxo to the nearest nitrogen atom in the azine chain. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_l/c witha=7.0470(4),b=11.3090(9),c=16.2250(4) Å, =90.310(3)°, V=1293.0(1) ų, Z=4,Dx=1.3576 g cm^–3 and (Cu-K)=7.03 cm^–1. The molecule is nearly planar not regarding the methyl group; the small deviations from planarity are indicative of intramolecular interactions between the phenylazo group and indandione group. Some of the bond lengths and angles found in the molecule are distorted due to resonance, -electron delocalization and strain. The relation between these chemical effects and structural results are discussed.

Self-assemblies of Ni(II) with phenanthroline and maleate anions: [Ni(H2O)3(phen)L] ⋅ H2O (1) and [Ni(H2O)2(phen)L] ⋅ 2H2O (2) with H2L = maleic acid

The complex [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] H₂O (1), which was obtained by reaction of phenanthroline, Ni(NO₃)₂ 6H₂O, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 7.05, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁ (no. 4) with cell dimensions: a = 9.350(1) Å, b = 7.631(1) Å, c = 12.821(1) Å, = 106.25(1), and D _calc = 1.607 g/cm³ for Z = 2. The Ni atoms are each octahe drally coordinated by one chelating phen ligand, three H₂O molecules and one monodentate maleato ligand to form [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] complex molecules with d(Ni–O) = 2.038–2.090 Å, d(Ni–N) = 2.066, 2.089 Å. The formed complex molecules are, via the intermolecular hydrogen bonds, assembled into columnar 1D chains. Interdigitation of the chelating phen ligands of the neighboring chains leads to 2D layers and the crystal H₂O molecules are hydrogen bonded to the oxygen atoms of the maleate not coordinated to the Ni atom. However, reaction of NiCO₃, phen, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 6.33 afforded [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] 2H₂O (2), which crystallized in the triclinic space group (no. 2) with cell dimensions: a = 7.971(1) Å, b = 8.237(1) Å, c = 13.304(1) Å, = 81.005(6)°, = 87.877(8)°, = 78.322(8)°, and D _calc = 1.671 g/cm³ for Z = 2.

The crystal structure (C 2/c, a = 25.488(5), b = 13.304(3), c = 21.479(4) Å, = 93.35 (3)°, Z = 8, R = 0.065) consists of discrete dimeric inclusion compounds joined together by N(5)...N(6) intermolecular hydrogen bonds between pairs of centrosymmetrically related benzimidazole rings of the hosts. There are two types of guest molecules in the crystal, one is incorporated within the cavity of the host via three intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds while the other is situated outside the cavity and connected with the host through one O—H···N hydrogen bond. The – stacking interactions between guests and benzimidazole rings result in one-dimensional columns. The aromatic face–face interactions between neighbouring columns facilitate the assembly of those columns into two-dimensional layers.
