The regio‐ and stereochemistry of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₅NO, has been established by X‐ray analysis. The molecular dimensions are normal.     

6‐Amino‐5,5,7‐tri­cyano‐3,3a,4,5‐tetra­hydro‐2H‐indene‐4‐spiro­cyclo­pentane

The positions of the C=C double bonds in the title compound, C₁₆H₁₆N₄, the subject of some dispute in the literature, have been clearly identified. The cyclo­hexene ring has a distorted half‐chair conformation and the cyclo­pentene and cyclo­pentane rings adopt envelope conformations. The dihedral angles between planar fragments of the cyclo­hexene and cyclo­pentene rings and of the cyclo­hexene and cyclo­pentane rings are 7.5 (1) and 86.98 (9)°, respectively. In the crystal, intermolecular N—H?N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains running in the [10] direction.     

3,3a‐Dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]­chromen‐1(2H)‐ones from the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 2‐cyclo­penten‐1‐one

The two title chromene compounds, 3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂O₂, (I), and 2‐(2‐hydroxy­benzyl­idene)‐3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₉H₁₄O₃, (II), have been determined in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. Compound (I) is mainly stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions. Compound (II) is linked into infinite one‐dimensional chains with a C(3) motif via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The inter­molecular C—H⋯π and π–­π inter­actions also play key roles in stabilizing the crystal packing. Two intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with S(5) motifs were detected in (II).     

Azido­[1,1′‐bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­ferrocene](penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl)­rhodium(III) hexa­fluoro­phosphate

In the title compound, azido‐2κN‐bis­[μ‐(1η⁵:2κP)‐di­phenyl­phosphino­cyclo­penta­dienyl][2(η⁵)‐penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­di­enyl]­iron(III)­rhodium(III) hexa­fluoro­phosphate, [{Rh(C₁₀H₁₅)(N₃)}{Fe(μ‐C₁₇H₁₄P)₂}]PF₆ or [FeRh(C₁₀H₁₅)(μ‐C₁₇H₁₄P)₂(N₃)]PF₆, the coordination sphere of Rh^III can be described as pseudo‐tetrahedral, composed of two P atoms from a 1,1′‐bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­ferrocene (dppf) ligand, an azido N atom and the centroid of the ring of a C₅Me₅ (Cp*) ligand. The two cyclo­penta­dienyl rings in the dppf moiety adopt an eclipsed conformation. The Rh⋯Fe distance is 4.340 (2) Å.     

Di‐μ‐phenyl­thio‐bis­[bis(η5‐methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl)(tetra­hydro­furan)lanthanum(III)] bis­(tetra­hydro­furan) solvate

The title complex, [La₂(C₆H₇)₄(C₆H₅S)₂(C₄H₈O)₂]·2C₄H₈O, is a centrosymmetric dimer bridged through the S atoms of the benzene­thiolate ligands. The bridging La₂S₂ unit is completely planar, while the geometry around the nine‐coordinate La atom is that of a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The La—S—La and S—La—S angles are 117.51 (4) and 62.5 (1)°, respectively, and the average La—S bond length is 2.9759 Å. The crystals contain two tetra­hydro­furan solvate mol­ecules for every complex mol­ecule.     

[2,13‐Bis­(acet­amido)‐5,16‐di­methyl‐2,6,13,17‐tetra­aza­tri­cyclo­[16.4.0.07,12]­do­cosane]copper(II) dichloride octahydrate

The title compound, [Cu(C₂₄H₄₆N₆O₂)]Cl₂·8H₂O, contains a centrosymmetric cation, with the anions and water mol­ecules on general sites. The coordination geometry around the Cu^II ion is an axially elongated octahedron, with Cu—N distances of 2.0448 (17) and 2.0847 (17) Å, and a Cu—O1 distance of 2.3138 (16) Å.     

13,13a‐Di­hydro‐13‐methoxy‐9‐methyl‐1‐benzo­pyrano­[4,3‐i]­dinaphtho­[2,1‐c;1′,2′‐f]‐2,8‐dioxa­bicyclo­[3.3.1]­nonane

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₃₂H₂₄O₄, contains three fused di­hydro­pyran rings (A, B and C); ring A is fused with a benzene ring while the other two rings, B and C, are fused with naphthalene rings. Ring A adopts a half‐chair conformation with an equatorial methoxy group, whereas ring B assumes a distorted half‐chair conformation, the A/B ring junction being trans. Ring C adopts a distorted half‐boat conformation and is nearly orthogonal to ring B. Ring C is inclined to the best plane of ring A at an angle of 112.1 (1)°.     

Amido­bis­[η5‐1,3‐bis­(tri­methyl­silyl)­cyclo­penta­dienyl]­titanium(III)

The title compound, [Ti(C₁₁H₂₁Si₂)₂(NH₂)], crystallizes as a bent metallocene, with the NH₂ group oriented to maximize the π interaction between the N atom and the Ti^III center. The increased π bonding is reflected in a short Ti—N bond length of 1.933 (3) Å.     

Precursor of a β‐lactamase inhibitor: allyl (4S,8S,9R)‐10‐[(E)‐ethyl­idene]‐4‐methoxy‐11‐oxo‐1‐aza­tri­cyclo­[7.2.0.03,8]­undec‐2‐ene‐2‐carboxyl­ate

The molecular structure of the title tricyclic compound, C₁₇H₂₁NO₄, which is the immediate precursor of a potent synthetic inhibitor {Lek157: sodium (8S,9R)‐10‐[(E)‐ethyl­idene]‐4‐methoxy‐11‐oxo‐1‐aza­tri­cyclo­[7.2.0.0^3,8]­undec‐2‐ene‐2‐carboxyl­ate} with remarkable potency, provides experimental evidence for the previously modelled relative position of the fused cyclo­hexyl ring and the carbonyl group of the β‐lactam ring, which takes part in the formation of the initial tetrahedral acyl–enzyme complex. In this hydro­phobic mol­ecule, the overall geometry is influenced by C—H?O intramolecular hydrogen bonds [3.046 (4) and 3.538 (6) Å, with corresponding normalized H?O distances of 2.30 and 2.46 Å], whereas the mol­ecules are interconnected through intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds [3.335 (4)–3.575 (5) Å].     

catena‐Poly­[[[1,8‐bis(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,3,6,8,10,13‐hexa­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane]copper(II)]‐μ‐cyano‐[tri­cyano­nitro­soiron(III)]‐μ‐cyano]

The bimetallic title complex, [CuFe(CN)₅(C₁₂H₃₀N₆O₂)(NO)] or [Cu(L)Fe(CN)₅(NO)] [where L is 1,8‐bis(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,3,6,8,10,13‐hexa­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane], has a one‐dimensional zigzag polymeric –Cu(L)–NC–Fe(NO)(CN)₃–CN–Cu(L)– chain, in which the Cu^II and Fe^II centres are linked by two CN groups. In the complex, the Cu^II ion is coordinated by four N atoms from the L ligand [Cu—N(L) = 1.999 (2)–2.016 (2) Å] and two cyanide N atoms [Cu—N = 2.383 (2) and 2.902 (3) Å], and has an elongated octahedral geometry. The Fe^II centre is in a distorted octahedral environment, with Fe—N(nitroso) = 1.656 (2) Å and Fe—C(CN) = 1.938 (3)–1.948 (3) Å. The one‐dimensional zigzag chains are linked to form a three‐dimensional network via N—H⋯N and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.     

3‐Bromo­methyl‐3‐ethyl‐3,4,6,7,8,8a‐hexa­hydro‐1H‐pyrrolo­[2,1‐c][1,4]­oxazine‐1,4‐dione

In the title compound, C₁₀H₁₄BrNO₃, the six‐membered lactone ring is in a boat conformation, with the two carbonyl groups cis to one another across the boat basal plane. C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯Br interactions stabilize the crystal structure.     

[η5,σ‐3,3‐Di­methyl‐1‐(2,3,4,5‐tetra­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl)­but‐1‐en‐2‐amino](η5‐penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl)titanium

The titanocene complex [Ti(C₁₀H₁₅)(C₁₅H₂₃N)] features a penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand and a substituted cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand Me₄C₅R, where R is an amino functional group which is subsequently attached to the titanium metal centre. The structure has been determined to ascertain the conformational properties of the side chain with regard to extended conjugation between the π systems and the nature of the amino interaction with the metal centre.     

3,6,9,16,19,22‐Hexa­aza­tri­cyclo[22.2.­2.211,14]­tria­conta‐11,13,24,26(1),27,29‐hexa­ene penta­hydrate

In the title macrocyclic poly­amine, C₂₄H₃₈N₆·5H₂O, the centrosymmetric poly­amine mol­ecules are stacked in rows, and between these mol­ecules there are channels along the a axis. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed between the water and poly­amine, together with those formed between water mol­ecules, generate an extensive hydrogen‐bonding network.     

9‐Phenyl‐3,4,4a,9a‐tetrahydrotri­ptycene and 9‐phenyl‐1,2,3,4,4a,9a‐hexa­hydro­triptycene

The structure of 9‐phenyl‐3,4,4a,9a‐tetra­hydro­triptycene, C₂₆H₂₂, (I), exhibits regiochemistry consistent with a stepwise mechanism for its formation from photo­cyclo­addition of 1,3‐cyclo­hexa­diene and 9‐phenyl­anthracene. Bond distances involving the bridgehead C atoms are similar in (I) and the hydrogenated derivative, 9‐phenyl‐1,2,3,4,4a,9a‐hexa­hydro­triptycene, C₂₆H₂₄, (II), with bonds to the quaternary‐C atoms exhibiting significant elongation [1.581 (2) Å in (I) and 1.585 (2) Å in (II)]. The molecular geometry precludes significant σ–π overlap between the phenyl groups and the interannular bonds in both compounds, indicating that the origin of the bond lengthening is steric in nature.     

trans‐Di­chloro(1,5,9,13‐tetra­methyl‐1,5,9,13‐tetr­aza­cyclo­hexa­decane‐κ4N)ruthenium(III) triiodide

In the title complex, [RuCl₂(C₁₆H₃₆N₄)]I₃, the overall symmetry of the centrosymmetric cation is approximately C_2h and the I anions are slightly asymmetric. The I?I distance is 4.313 (1) Å. The cations and the linear anions are arranged in alternate layers and thus form the intercalating structure.     

[1a(1aα,5β,9aα)]‐1,1a,4,5,7,8,9,9a‐Octahydro‐3‐hydroxy‐1,1,2,5‐tetramethyl‐7‐methylene‐6H‐cyclopropa[3,4]cyclo­hept[1,2‐e]inden‐6‐one

Interest in the title structure, C₂₀H₂₄O₂, lies in the novel cis ring junction between the three‐ and seven‐membered rings. This stereochemical arrangement causes the methylene moiety and the cycloheptane ring to be twisted out of the plane of the aromatic ring. The cyclopropane ring is also twisted out of the plane of the aromatic system. The molecules are linked by an O—H?O hydrogen bond [O?O 2.741 (3) Å].     

()‐5‐(4‐Methoxy­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)‐1‐aza­bi­cyclo­[3.3.0]octan‐2‐one benzene solvate

The title trans prolyl amide exists as a benzene solvate, C₁₅H₁₈N₂O₃·C₆H₆, with positional disorder of the prolyl ring. The molecular structure is influenced by a close intramolecular N—H⋯N contact that provides structural support for the intramolecular catalysis of peptidyl–prolyl cis–trans isomerization.     

Two atropisomers of tri­carbonyl­[η6‐7‐chloro‐3‐(3‐chloro‐2‐methyl­phenyl)‐2,4,8‐tri­methyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetra­hydro‐2,4‐dibora‐1,3‐di­aza­naphthalene]­chromium(0)

The structures of two atropisomers of the title compound, [Cr(C₁₆H₁₈B₂Cl₂N₂)(CO)₃], are reported. For both compounds, the Cr(CO)₃ moiety is bound to the C₆ aromatic ring of the mol­ecule; the existence of atropisomers resulting from the non‐equivalence of both faces of the C₆ aromatic ring is a consequence of the 3‐chloro‐2‐methylphenyl ring being nearly perpendicular to the mean plane of the 2,4‐dibora‐1,3‐di­aza­naphthalene ring. The orientation of the Cr(CO)₃ tripod relative to the C₆ aromatic ring is such that it is nearly eclipsed in one isomer (2.4° rotation from being eclipsed with C—N, C—Cl and C—H) and slightly twisted (16.2°) from an eclipsed conformation in the other.     

Ethyl (6aRS,8RS,12bRS)‐6‐oxo‐8‐phenyl‐6a,7,8,12b‐tetra­hydro‐6H‐benzo­[b]naphtho­[1,2‐d]­pyran‐6a‐carboxylate

In the title compound, C₂₆H₂₂O₄, the pyran­one ring adopts a twisted boat conformation, while the cyclo­hexane ring is close to an envelope conformation. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the coumarin and naphthalene systems is 78.8 (1)°. The attached phenyl ring is in an equatorial position with respect to the cyclo­hexane ring.     

Two hydro­chlorides of 7‐methyl‐3,7,11,17‐tetra­aza­bi­cyclo­[11.3.1]­heptadeca‐1(17),13,15‐triene

The X‐ray structure determinations of the two title com­pounds, namely 7‐methyl‐7,17‐di­aza‐3,11‐diazo­niabi­cyclo[11.3.1]­hep­ta­deca‐1(17),13,15‐triene dichloride monohydrate, C₁₄H₂₆N₄²⁺·2Cl^?·H₂O, (I), and 7‐methyl‐17‐aza‐3,7,11‐triazo­niabi­cyclo­[11.3.1]­heptadeca‐1(17),13,15‐triene 2.826‐chloride 0.174‐nitrate, C₁₄H₂₇N₄³⁺·2.826Cl^?·0.174NO₃^?, (II), are re­ported. Protonation occurs at the secondary amine N atoms in (I) and at all three amine N atoms in (II) to which the Cl^? ions are linked via N—H?Cl hydrogen bonds. The macrocyclic hole is quite different in both structures, as is observed by comparing particularly the N3?N4 distances [2.976 (4) and 4.175 (4) Å for (I) and (II), respectively]. In (II), a Cl^? ion alternates with an NO₃^? ion in a disordered structure.
