The crystal structure of 1-anilino-3-phenylimino propene-(1), C15H14N2

The 1-Anilino-3-phenylimino propene-(1) crystallizes in the Iba2 space group having the lattice constants a = 20.132 Å; b = 16.102 Å; c = 7.683 Å. The elementary lattice cell contains 8 molecules. The intensities were measured by means of an automatic fourcircle diffractometer. The structure was clarified by a direct phase determination. The refinement was carried out by means of the least squares method for 1532 symmetryindependent reflections up to an R-value of 0.10. The molecular structure is more similar to that of the asymmetric polymethine merocyanines, and less to the symmetrical polymethine cyanines. This is due to the different electronic structure of the amino and imino groups in the molecule. The molecules are electrically neutral. The intermolecular contacts are made through N-H…N hydrogen bridges and van-der-Waals contacts between C- and H-atoms.     

Thermal dehydration of the double salts K2Be(XO4)2·2H2O (X = S,Se)

The thermal dehydration of the title compounds was studied by TG, DTA and DSC methods and the enthalpies of dehydration were calculated (87.6 kJ mol^–1 and 167.5 kJ mol^–1 for the sulfate and selenate compound, respectively). The larger value of ΔH_deh of K₂Be(SeO₄)₂·2H₂O is due to the stronger hydrogen bonds formed in the selenate as compared to those formed in the respective sulfate owing to the stronger proton acceptor capabilities of the SeO₄^2– ions. The enthalpies of formation (ΔH_f⁰) of the dihydrates are also calculated from the DSC measurements (– 4467.4 kJ mol^–1 and – 3447.1 kJ mol^–1 for the sulfate and selenate compound, respectively). The anhydrous double salt, K₂Be(SO₄)₂, forms tetragonal crystals with lattice parameters: a = 7.232(2) Å; c = 14.168(2) Å; V = 741.0 ų, while the anhydrous salt, K₂Be(SeO₄)₂, forms monoclinic crystals with lattice parameters: a = 9.217(3) Å; b = 10.645(3) Å; c = 8.989(2) Å; β = 108.52(4)°; V = 836.2 ų.
