Molecular structure of 2,3-(4′-phenylacetyl)- and 2,3-(4′-diphenylacetyl)-benzo-15-crown-5

The conformational state of two benzo-crown ethers with substantially different physiological activity, 2,3-(4-phenylacetyl)- and 2,3-(4-diphenylacetyl)benzo-15-crown-5, was studied in crystals and solutions in CH₃CN and CCl₄ by x-ray crystallographic analysis, IR spectroscopy, and conformational calculations by the method of molecular mechanics. Transition from the crystalline state to solutions was found to be accompanied by a substantial change in the conformation of the macrocyclic ring of all the compounds studied. The nature of the substituent in the benzene ring and the polarity of the solvent have an influence on the conformational state of the macrocyclic ring of the free ligand, which, however, is not the determining factor in the change in the activity of the compounds. The COCCOC fragments of the macrocyclic framework are conformationally labile, readily passing from gauche to trans conformations and the reverse, which is promoted by the negligible energy barriers between the different conformations, determined in the work by a molecular mechanics method.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1819–1825, August, 1991.

Synthesis and crystal structure determination of the triflate salt of diacetonitrile(2,2′-bipyridine)platinum(II)

Reaction of [Pt(bipy)Cl₂] (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) with an excess of silver triflate in refluxing acetonitrile readily affords [Pt(bipy)(MeCN)₂](CF₃SO₃)₂ as a yellow, crystalline solid. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study shows that the cations are arranged in a zig-zag manner in rows parallel to the b axis of the monoclinic unit cell. Consideration of the crystal structures of related bipyridyl ligand complexes of platinum(II), leads to the conclusion that a stacked structure with intermolecular Pt…Pt interactions for the title compound is prevented by the electrostatic repulsion between adjacent cations that are doubly charged.

In both molecules, the anti-conformation of the carboxylic group is observed, the conformation being stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond involving the carboxylic hydrogen atom and ketonic oxygen.     

Effect of solvent on the crystal structures of copper(II) complexes based on 4′-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine and 4′-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine

Four homoleptic copper(II) complexes, [Cu(Meophtpy)₂](ClO₄)₂ (Meophtpy = 4′-(4-methoxylphenyl)- 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) (I), [Cu(Meophtpy)₂](ClO₄)₂ · 2H₂O (II), [Cu₂(m-Clphtpy)₄](ClO₄)₄ (m-ClPhtpy = 4′-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) (III), and [Cu₂(m-ClPhtpy)₄](ClO₄)₄ (IV) have been synthesized by hydrothermal methods and characterized by IR, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 963375 (I), 885457 (II), 963377 (III), and 963376 (IV)). Complex II is a polymorph of I and complex IV is a polymorph of III. All these complexes are obtained with 95% ethanol solution or 50% ethanol solution and the solvent control on the crystallization are obviously found. In all complexes, the face-to-face interactions between pyridyl rings or phenyl rings facilitate the construction of 3D network in the crystal in addition to hydrogen bonds. The fluorescence properties of these complexes have been investigated.     

Synthesis of poly(2,2′,3,3′-indole)

New approaches to the synthesis of poly(2,2′,3,3′-indole) were developed based on the photochemical dehydropolycondensation of indole in the presence of iodine and the photochemical polycondensation of 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-iodo-1-ethanone in the absence of catalyst and solvent. A suggested mechanism for the formation of the oligomeric chain in these reactions includes the intermediate formation of 3,3′-diindole with subsequent polycondensation via elimination of hydrogen atoms at position 2 of the dimer pyrrole fragment.

The title compound N,N′-di(diethoxythiophosphoryl)-1,4-phenyl-enediamine was synthesized by the reaction of diethoxythiophosphoryl chloride with p-phenylenediamine and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and ¹H NMR spectra. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and the thermal property was studied by TG analysis. The relative molecular weight of the title compound is 412.42. The crystal structure belongs to the orthorhombic, Pbca space group, with a = 0.86936(16) nm, b = 1.2787(2) nm, c = 1.8897(3) nm, β = 90°, V = 2.1006(7) nm³, Z = 8, Dc = 1.304 g/cm³, μ(Mo Kα) = 0.425 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 872, S = 1.052, the final R = 0.0628 and wR = 0.1860 for 1852 observed reflections with I>2σ(I). The X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrates that the crystal structure is centrosymmetric. The weak N-H⋯S intramolecular hydrogen bonds were observed to link the molecules into sheets. The TG analysis shows that the title compound has good thermal stability and char forming capability and its fire retardation for polyacrylonitrile reveals that the compound is an excellent intumescent fire retardant. __________ Translated from Acta Chimica Sinica, 2007, 65(18): 2034–2038 [译自: 化学学报]     

Synthesis and crystal structure of cyclotris-(4,4′-thiodiphenylene ketone)

The side reaction of macrocyclization that occurs during the synthesis of poly-(1,4-phenylenesulfide ketone) by polycondensation of a 4,4-dihalobenzophenone with sodium sulfide was studied. It was found that the major product of this reaction is a cyclic trimer, cyclotris-(4,4"-thiodiphenylene ketone) (1). Despite the fact that ketone bridges are more rigid than sulfide bridges, the yield of the macrocycle is rather high, as it is in the synthesis of poly-(1,4-phenylenesulfide), and reaches 20% under high dilution conditions. The structure of 1 was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (R = 0.069 on 3138 reflections). Macrocycle 1 is strongly flattened in the crystal; the conformation observed is determined by the packing, since stereochemical analysis indicates high flexibility of the macrocycle. The solvate acetone molecules incorporated in the crystal are disordered, nevertheless, they are strongly fixed in the cavities and channels of the crystal structure.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Blends of a novel high-temperature poly(oxy-1,4′-diphenyleneoxy-1,4-phenylenecarbonyl-1,4-phenylene) with poly(ether imide): structure, interaction, and miscibility

 Polymer miscibility has been discovered in a blend system comprising poly(ether imide) (PEI) and a new poly(ether diphenyl ether ketone) (PEDEK). The miscibility of the PEDEK/PEI polymer system (quenched from the molten state) was investigated in this study using differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform (FT-IR) spectroscopy. A composition-dependent single glass-transition temperature (T _g) in the PEDEK/PEI blends over a full composition range was observed; the sharp transition width and the T _g–composition relationship both suggest that the scale of mixing is fine and uniform. Evidence based on observation of the cold-crystallization peak and suppression of the blend crystallinity and melting peak also indicated intimate intermolecular mixing. The FT-IR result yielded further evidence that the physical interactions leading to miscibility were weak, with no apparent specific interactions between the constituent polymers. Relationships between structures and interactions responsible for the miscibility in PEI and several ether-ketone-type polymers are briefly discussed.

Synthesis and crystal structure of polymeric aqua (2,2′-bipyridine)(μ-isonicotinato)copper(II) nitrate dihydrate

The title complex has been prepared and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. Cu(II) assumes a square pyramidal coordination geometry, formed by two isonicotinate anions, a bipyridine ligand and a coordinated water molecule. Each isonicotinate bridges two Cu atoms through pyridine-N and carboxyl-O atoms, respectively, to form zigzag polymeric chains. Between the polymeric chains, aromatic stacking and hydrogen bonding are observed.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and properties of two terbium complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine

Two new complexes {[Tb(2-IBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ · C₂H₅OH} (1) and [Tb(2-ClBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ (2) (2-IBA = 2-iodobenzoate; 2-ClBA = 2-chlorobenzoate; 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) were prepared and their crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is composed of two types of binuclear molecules, [Tb(2-IBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ (a) and [Tb(2-IBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ (b), and an uncoordinated ethanol molecule. In molecule (a), two Tb³⁺ ions are linked by four 2-IBA groups, all bidentate-bridging. In molecule (b), two Tb³⁺ ions are held together by four 2-IBA groups in two coordination modes, bidentate-bridging and chelating-bridging. In the two molecules, each Tb³⁺ ion is further bonded to one chelating 2-IBA group and one chelating 2,2′-bipy molecule, resulting in coordination numbers of eight for (a) and nine for (b). The structural characteristics of 2 are similar to that of molecule (b) in 1. The two complexes, 1 and 2, both emit strong green fluorescence under ultraviolet light with the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F _j (j = 6–3) emission of Tb³⁺ ion observed.     

Synthesis and structure of 2,2′-diaminodiphenylditelluride bis-imines

Bis-imines of 2,2′-diaminodiphenylditelluride and 2-tosylamino (9a) and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (9b) were prepared and studied by X-ray diffraction, heteronuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, and ¹²⁵Te) magnetic resonance, and quantum chemical calculations (Pbe1pbe/DGDZVP). According to the X-ray diffraction data, compound 9b in the crystal phase has nonsymmetrical structure: one of the tellurium atoms forms hypervalent bonding with the adjacent oxygen atom, while the second one is not involved in such interaction. The NMR study showed the symmetric molecular structure of imines 9a,b in DMSO-d₆ with the tellurium atoms interacting hypervalently with the C=N nitrogen atoms.     

Synthesis, spectral characterization and X-ray crystal structure of biologically active organotin(IV) 3-[(3′,5′-dimethylphenylamido)]propanoates

A new ligand was prepared by reacting 3,5-dimethylaniline with succinic anhydride in glacial acetic acid at room temperature. A series of organotin(IV) carboxylates were prepared by reacting the ligand with R₂SnCl₂/R₃SnCl (R?=?Me, Bu, Ph, Oct) in 1:2/1:1 molar ratio. The synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, multinuclear magnetic resonance (¹H and ¹³C) and mass spectrometry. The structures of the ligand (HL) and complex (5) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. FT-IR data shows that the coordination takes place through both carboxylate oxygen atoms. NMR data confirm the tetrahedral geometry in solution. In the crystal structure of ligand (HL), centrosymmetrically related molecules are linked into dimers by N?CH??O hydrogen bonding interactions, while in complex (5) coordination around the tin atom is trigonal bipyramidal, with the carbon atoms of the methyl groups occupying the equatorial plane and the O atoms of symmetry-related ligands at the apices. Organotin(IV) complexes were also screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities, and the results suggested that the synthesized complexes are better antimicrobial agents as compared to the free ligand.
