An X-ray diffraction study has been performed to study the crystal structure of 1,10-diazonia-18-crown-6 bis(hydrogen oxalate) [H₂DA18C6]²⁺·2C₂HO ₄ ^- (I) and 1,10-diazonia-18-crown-6 oxalate dihydrate [H₂DA18C6]²⁺·2C₂O ₄ ^- ·2H₂O (II). Crystals I are triclinic: space group , a = 7.825, b = 7.861, c = 9.349 , = 97.28, = 110.22, = 99.12°, Z = 1. Crystals II are monoclinic: space group P2 ₁ /n, a = 8.783, b = 10.640, c = 10.225 , = 97.04°, Z = 2. The structures of I and II were solved by direct methods and refined by the full-matrix least-squares procedure anisotropically to R = 0.036 (I) and 0.042 (II) for all 2206 (I) and 1990 (II) unique reflections measured (CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, CuK ). In the crystal structures, the ionic complexes (salts) I and II are not individual guest–host complex molecules but are parts of complex (infinite in two directions) three-dimensional layers of H-bonded molecular anions and DA18C6 dications (and water molecules in II). In structures I and II, the centrosymmetric DA18C6 dications have different conformations: two-angle in I and four-angle in II. The unusual four-angle conformation of the DA18C6 dication was found for the first time.

Kinetics of Detonation Initiation in the Supersonic Flow of the H2 + O2 (Air) Mixture in O2 Molecule Excitation by Resonance Laser Radiation

The possibility of initiating detonation in the supersonic flow of the H₂ + O₂ (air) mixture behind the front of the inclined shock wave by O₂ molecule excitation to the O₂(a ¹_g) and O₂(b ¹·⁺ _g) states by laser radiation with a wavelength _I = 1.268 m and 762 nm is considered. Resonance laser radiation intensifies chain combustion due to the formation of new pathways for generating active atoms O^· and H^· and radicals OH and has a substantially nonthermal character. Even at low (3 kJ/cm²) energies of radiation with _I = 762 nm applied to the gas, detonation combustion can occur even at a distance of 1 m from the front at the gas temperature as high as 600 K.

Treatment ofp-t-butyltetrahomodioxacalix[4]arene with ethyl bromoacetate yields a tetraester derivative (4) whose crystal and molecular structure have been determined and whose ion binding properties have been assessed by phase transfer and stability constant measurements. Colorless transparent triclinic crystals (obtained from methoxyethanol) C₆₂H₈₄O₁₄,a = 10.347(2),b = 11.583(2),c = 13.448(3) Å, = 72.04(2), = 86.50(2)°, = 81.23(2)°, space group ,Z = 1, MoK radiation = 0.70930 Å.

The complexation properties resemble those of calix[6]arene hexaester (6), although weaker, with a preference for the larger alkali cations. Ca²⁺ and Ba²⁺; though not extracted, are more strongly complexed than alkali cations. Eu³⁺ is better complexed than Na⁺.Supplementary Data relating to this article are deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No. SUP 82106 (22 pages) and at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre, University Chemical Laboratory, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 9EW, U.K.
