Crystal structure of N,N ′-bis(cyclohexyl)-1-(N,N-dihexylamino)perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide)

An asymmetric dialkylamino-substituted perylene bisimide (1), N,N′-bis(cyclohexyl)-1-(N,N-dihexylamino)perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide), was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P–1, with a = 9.8924(6), b = 14.6338(10), c = 15.6221(10) Å, α= 105.098(3)°, β = 103.386(2)°, γ = 107.772(3)°, and Z = 2. The central perylene core of 1 is twisted with dihedral angles of 14.9(3)° and 11.6(3)°; this twist configuration induces the axial chirality in this family of perylene bisimide dyes. In the crystal structure, the intermolecular C–H···O interaction links a pair of molecules into a cyclic centrosymmetric dimer that is connected to one another via the intermolecular π–π stacking, so linking the molecules into a continuous one-dimensional framework along the [100] direction.

Crystal structures of copper(II) nitrate complexes containing 4,4’-bipyridyl and halogen-substituted 2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenols

The crystal structures of (μ-4,4’-bipyridyl)-di{nitrato-2,4-dibromo-6-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolo (1-)copper} (I), (μ-4,4’-bipyridyl)-di{nitrato-2,4-dichloro-6-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolo(1-)copper} (II), and (μ-4,4’-bipyridyl)-{4-chloro-2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolo(2-)copper-nitrato-4-chloro-2-[(2-hydroxyethylimino)methyl]phenolo(1-)copper} tetrahydrate (III) are determined. The crystal structures of compounds I and II contain binuclear complexes, in which each copper atom is coordinated by the singly deprotonated tridentate molecule of the corresponding azomethine, the monodentate nitrate ion, and bipyridyl that plays the role of a bridge between the central atoms. In the structures of compounds I and II, the coordination polyhedra of the copper atoms are slightly distorted tetragonal pyramids. The pyramid base is formed by the imine and bipyridyl nitrogen atoms and the phenol and alcohol oxygen atoms. The axial vertices of the pyramids are occupied by the oxygen atoms of the monodentate nitrato groups. The crystal structure of compound III involves tetranuclear complexes in which the coordination polyhedra of the central copper atoms are (4 + 1 + 1) bipyramids. The base of these bipyramids is formed by the imine and bipyridyl nitrogen atoms and the phenol and alcohol oxygen atoms. One apical vertex is occupied by the bridging phenol oxygen atom of the nearest complex. The sixth coordination site of the first copper atom is occupied by the chlorine atom of the salicylidene fragment of the neighboring complex related to the initial complex through the center of symmetry. In turn, the sixth coordination site of the second copper atom is occupied by the oxygen atom of the monodentate nitrato group.

Molecular and crystal structures of the products of crystallization of (N′-furfurylidene)isonicotinoylhydrazide from aqueous solutions of hydrochloric and acetic acids

Crystals of (N′-furfurylidene)isonicotinoylhydrazide (I), which have been isolated from a water-methanol solution of hydrochloric acid (Ia) and an aqueous solution (～50%) of acetic acid (Ib), are studied by X-ray diffraction. In Ia, the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring is protonated.

Abstract  

Two cocrystals of 2,2′-diamino-4,4′-bis(1,3-thiazole) (DABTZ) with 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene (bpdh) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylenediamine (bpen) {[(DABTZ)(bpdh)] and [(DABTZ)(bpen)], respectively} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR-, ¹H NMR-, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and were studied by thermal analysis and X-ray crystallography. Self-assembly of these compounds in the solid state is likely caused by hydrogen bonding with minor contributions from π–π stacking, C–H···π and possibly charge transfer interactions.

The Preparation and Properties of the α,ω-bis(4,4′-Cyanobiphenyloxy)Alkanes: Nematogenic Molecules with a Flexible Core

The first twelve members of the homologous series of α,ω-bis(4,4′-cyanobiphenyloxy) alkanes have been synthesised. The compounds are nematogenic, although the mesophases for the first and third members of the series are monotropic. Both the nematic-isotropic transition temperature and the entropy of transition exhibit a pronounced dependence on the length of the flexible core; this is analogous to that found for main chain thermotropic liquid crystal polymers.

Heteropolymetallic complexes of 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene (dppf). II. Crystal structure of dppf and NiCl2(dppf)

The crystal structures of dppf [dppf=1,1-bis(diphenylphoshino)ferrocene] and (dppf)NiCl₂ were determined by X-ray crystallography and refined toR=0.043 (both). The molecule of dppf is centrosymmetric, with the inversion center at the Fe atom. The ferrocene rings are parallel and staggered. In (dppf)NiCl₂ the coordination around nickel is tetrahedral, with a significantly large Cl-Ni-Cl angle (125°) due to repulsion of the chlorine atoms. The ferrocene ligand exhibits a slightly distorted (9°) eclipsed conformation, very similar to that observed in (dppf)NiBr₂.

X-ray diffraction and DFT structures of the pentacyanocarbonylferrate(3—) ion

Recently (Soria, D.B.; Aymonino, P.J. Spectrochim. Acta 1999, A55, 1243), we reported improved ¹³C NMR and IR and Raman spectra, as well as the TGA-DTA behavior of Na₃[Fe(CN)₅CO]·2H₂O.

CO replacement in Ru3(CO)12 by 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)maleic anhydride (bma). X-ray structures of Ru3(CO)10(bma)·H2O and

Thermolysis of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)maleic anhydride (bma) in toluene solution gives the new compounds Ru₃(CO)₁₀(bma) (2), Ru₂(CO)₆(bma) (3), and (4). All compounds have been isolated and characterized in solution by IR and³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The solid-state structures of2, as the monohydrate, and4 were established by X-ray crystallography. Ru₃(CO)₁₀(bma)·H₂O crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupC2/c,a=12.741(2) Å,b=19.548(2) Å,c=32.973(4) Å, β=96.847(9)°,V=8154(2) ų,Z=8,d _calc=1.740 g cm^?3;R=0.046,R _w =0.051 for 2541 observed reflections withl>3σ(l). The bma ligand in2 is bound to the triruthenium frame in a bridging fashion, with equatorially disposed PPh₂ groups. The X-ray structure of2 reveals an extreme twisting of the maleic anhydride ring away from the plane defined by the plane of the three ruthenium atoms, along with a significant lengthening of the maleic anhydride C=C π bond. crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c,a=9.3113(5) Å,b=18.164(1) Å,c=20.097(1) Å, β-102.021(4)°,V=3324.5(3) ų,Z=4,d _calc=1.671 g cm^?3;R=0.024,R _w =0.030 for 3499 observed reflections withl>3σ(l). The presence of the μ₂ moiety and P?C (maleic anhydride) bond cleavage attendant in the formation of4 are confirmed by X-ray analysis. The relationship of the compounds3 and4 to the dimeric compounds Ru₂(CO)₆(bpcd) and [where bpcd=4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione] is discussed. Independent studies dealing with Ru₃(CO)₁₀(bma) (bridging isomer) have shown that cluster2 is stable in toluene solution at elevated temperature and does not afford compounds3 and4, suggesting the intermediacy of the putative chelating isomer of Ru₃(CO)₁₀(bma) (1) as the source of3 and4.     

Conformational Studies of Substituted Chromans: Crystal Structures of 2,2′-(1E,1′E)-(2,3-Dimethylchroman-2,4-diyl)bis(Azan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(Methan-1-yl-1-ylidene)Diphenol (I) and 2,2′-(1E,1′E)-(2-Ethyl-3-Methylchroman-2,4-diyl)bis(Azan-1-yl-1-ylidene)bis(Methan-1-yl-1-ylidene)Diphenol (II)

Abstract  

The title compounds C₂₅H₂₄N₂O₃ (I) and C₂₆H₂₆N₂O₃ (II) crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1 with cell parameters a = 8.981(1), b = 9.933(1), c = 12.369(2) ?, α = 78.537(2), β = 84.515(2), γ = 73.561(2)° Z = 2 (I) and a = 11.4630(9), b = 12.955(1), c = 16.154(1) ?, α = 70.425(1), β = 87.403(1), γ = 71.850(1)°, Z = 4 (II). In both compounds the phenolic groups in the Schiff base substituents form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the imine nitrogen atoms thereby rendering these substituents nearly planar. A detailed analysis of the amount by which the heterocyclic ring deviates from planarity (extent of puckering) in these and a series of related molecules shows that the extent of the deviation is largely unaffected by the number, size and placement of substituents on this ring.
