Abstract  

The synthesis and Crystal structure are given for the bis (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylendiammonium) octaiodo pentachloroantimonate (III) salt. An X-ray investigation has shown that the title compound crystallizes in a monoclinic system, space group P2₁/m with the following lattice parameters a = 9.786(2) Ǻ, b = 14.024(5) Ǻ, c = 14.336(3) Ǻ, β = 91.35(2)° and Z = 2. The structure was solved from 3085 independent reflections with R ₁ = 0.0402 and wR ₂ = 0.0952 and refined with 152 parameters. The structure shows a layer arrangement perpendicular to the [(b)\vec] \vec{b} -axis: planes of [SbCl₅]²⁻, I₃ ⁻ and I₅ ⁻ anions alternate with planes of [(CH₂)₂(NH(CH₃)₂)₂]²⁺ cations. The [SbCl₅]²⁻ square pyramids present an active lone electron pair (LEP) on the Sb atoms and they are interconnected by means of N–H···Cl hydrogen bond originating from [(CH₂)₂(NH(CH₃)₂)₂]²⁺ entities. The polyiodides (I₃ ⁻ and I₅ ⁻) anions form a planer zigzag polymeric chains via I···I linking interactions. These chains are linked to the [SbCl₅]²⁻ anions by a long range contact.

Abstract  The structure of cis-(CH₃)₂Au(O,O′-acac) was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmca with unit cell dimensions a = 6.7831(13) ?, b = 15.080(3) ?, c = 18.073(3) ? and α = β = γ = 90°. The molecule is planar but lacks a C₂ axis in the solid-state, with two Au–C bond lengths that differ by 0.078(21) ? due to crystal packing effects. The inequivalence of the crystallographic carbon positions is evident in the solid-state ¹³C CP-MAS NMR spectrum, which was recorded at low temperature due to the thermal sensitivity of the compound during magic-angle spinning. Head-to-tail stacking, which creates short intermolecular paths, was reproduced computationally in a dimer model.

Synthesis and Structure Determination of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>′-(Naphthalen-2-ylmethyl sulfanyl (1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolyl-ethylidene) Hydrazine

Abstract  

S,S′-(Naphthalen-2-ylmethyl sulfanyl (1-p-tolyl-ethylidene) hydrazine (SNM4MA) was prepared by the condensation of S-napthalen-2-ylmethyldithiocarbazate (SNMDTC) and 4-methylacetophenone. Yellow needles of SNM4MA were obtained upon slow evaporation of a 50:50 mixture of acetonitrile and DMSO over a period of weeks. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with the space group C 2/c and Z = 4. The unit cell parameters are a = 7.0221(2) ?, b = 22.8428(6) ?, c = 23.5127(6) ? with β = 94.0222(13)°. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that the molecule has crystallographic two-fold rotational symmetry coincident with the S–S bond. The title compound exists as a trans–cis conformer in which the naphthalene group is trans with respect to the thione sulfur while the benzyl group adopts a cis geometry. ¹³C and ¹H spectra confirm that the dimeric nature is retained in DMSO solution.
