Synthesis,structural characterization,and DFT calculations of 3-buthyl-4-(3-methyl-3-mesitylcyclobut-1-yl)-1,3-thiazole-2(3<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>)-thione

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₉NS₂, has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Crystals are monoclinic, a = 11.4923(8), b = 13.1842(7), c = 14.6583(8) Å, β = 109.983(6)°, sp. gr. P2₁/c, Z = 4. Mesityl and thiazole groups are in cis positions with respect to the cyclobutane ring. The cyclobutane ring is puckered, with a dihedral angle of 26.6(2)° between the two three-atom planes. The crystal structure involves one weak intermolecular C–H···S hydrogen-bond. The molecular geometry was also optimized using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with the 6-311G(d, p) basis set in ground state. Geometric parameters (bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles) and vibrational assignments have been calculated theoretically and compared with the experimental data.     

Synthesis and structural study of 1-(N,N-diethylamino)-2,2-bis(2-nitrophenylthio)ethene

The synthesis, variable temperature NMR spectra, and crystal structures of two crystalline forms, 2a and 2b, of the enamine 1-(N,N-diethylamino)-2,2-bis(2-nitrophenylthio)ethene have been obtained. Both forms crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a. The two phases have similar molecular structures but possess different intermolecular C–H······O hydrogen bonding interactions. Both forms exhibit disorder within the NEt₂ fragment at 298 K: sufficient disorder persisted with 2a (orange needles) down to 100 K to make the geometric parameters pertaining to the enamine fragment unreliable. The disorder was effectively eliminated on cooling 2b down (red colored blocks) to 150 K. Cell dimensions for the 2a-phase are at 100 K: a = 11.1030(4) Å, b = 15.1325(7) Å, c = 12.4504(7) Å, β = 114.606(3)°, while for the 2b-phase at 150 K, a = 15.5206(4) Å, b = 7.6958(2) Å, c = 15.7137(3) Å, β = 92.580(7)°. The C–N bond length in the β-form at 150 K of 1.335(3) Å indicates considerable double bond character: the rotational barrier of the C–N bond in CDCl₃ was calculated to be 52.4 kJ mol^?1.     

Crystal and molecular structures of the monoclinic and orthorhombic modifications ofo-bromophenylazocarbamide

The crystal and molecular structures of two polymorphs ofo-bromophenylazocarbamide (C₇H₆N₃OBr) have been determined and refined by Fourier methods, using three-dimensional X-ray data collected at room temperature by photographic techniques. The unit cell parameters are, for the monoclinic modificationa = 25·20(1),b = 5·03(1),c = 14·01(1) Å, β = 105·5(1·0)°,Z = 8, space groupC2/c; for the orthorhombic modification,a= 14·02(1),b = 5·04(1),c = 24·32(3) Å,Z = 8, space groupPca2₁. In both polymorphs a rather large thermal effect is present, being greater for the orthorhombic phase. Corresponding bond distances and angles are equal in both structures to within 1σ. The double bond is virtually localized in theazo group, so that there is no conjugation between the bromophenyl and the carbamidic groups. NH···O hydrogen bonds link the molecules in ribbons, which are parallel in the monoclinic modification and mutually tilted (76·7 °) in the orthorhombic structure.

Crystallization,crystal-structure refinement,and IR spectroscopy of a synthetic hexahydroborite analog

The crystal structure of the hexahydroborite analog Ca[B(OH)₄]₂ · 2H₂O (a = 7.9941(3) Å, b = 6.6321(2) Å, c = 7.9871(3) Å, β = 104.166(4)°, V = 410.58(3) ų, sp. gr. P2/c, Z = 2, ρ_calc = 1.891 g/cm³; Xcalibur S CCD automated diffractometer, 1196 reflections with I > 2σ(I), λMoK _α), which was synthesized by the hydrothermal method via the recrystallization of calciborite CaB₂O₄ (M) in the M ? B₂O₃ ? H₂O system (t = 250°C and P = 70–80 atm), was refined by the least-squares method with anisotropic displacement parameters (H atoms were located; R ₁ = 0.0260). The structure of synthetic hexahydroborite consists of infinite columns running along the c axis. The columns are formed by Ca polyhedra linked together and to [B(OH)₄] orthotetrahedra by sharing edges. Along the two other axes, the translationally equivalent columns are linked only by hydrogen bonds. The presence of a stronger bond between the discrete (Ca-B-O) columns along the shortest (b = 6.6 Å) axis accounts for the possibility of the shift of the columns by 1/2T _b and the formation of the second modification of Ca[B(OH)₄]₂ · 2H₂O. The crystals of synthetic hexahydroborite were studied by IR spectroscopy. A crystal-chemical analysis was performed for a series of natural metaborates with the general formula CaB₂O₄ · nH₂O (CaO: B₂O₃ = 1: 1, n = 0–6), including calciborite CaB₂O₄ and hexahydroborite CaB₂O₄ · 6H₂O as the end members.

This macrocyclic cation is bound to the anions through the C-H ...F contacts (H...F, 2.48–2.58 Å).     

Crystal and molecular structure of diphenyl sulphone, 4,4′-difluorodiphenyl sulphone and 3,3′-dinitro-4,4′-difluorodiphenyl sulphone

Each molecule crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c with cell dimensionsa = 12.225(4),b = 7.830(2),c = 11.328(2) Å, β = 98 °19′(2);a = 8.255(3),b= 13.062(3),c = 10.135(2) Å, β = 99 ° 31′(2) anda = 14.736 (4),b = 8.145(2),c= 14.626(3) Å, β= 129°8′(2), respectively. The structures were solved by Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined by the method of least squares toR-factors of 3.8% over 1798 reflections, 6.3% over 1834 reflections and 5.4% over 2185 reflections forA,B andC, respectively. The dimensions of the sulphone group are similar in each molecule; the S—C bond lengths range from 1.764(3) to 1.775(3) Å, and the S—O bond lengths from 1.432(3) to 1.439(3) Å. The dihedral angles between the aromatic rings and the S—S—C planes lie between 72,6 and 88.9 °, compared with the value of 90 ° predicted for maximum conjugation between the sulphone group and the aromatic ring. Intermolecular H―O contacts of 2.37 Å suggest possible C—H—O type hydrogen bonds joining the molecules of 4,4′-difluorodiphenyl sulphone into dimers and the molecules of 3,3′-dinitro-4,4′-difluorodiphenyl sulphone into chains.
