3-Substituted Sydnone Derivatives. Structures of 3-Cyclohexylsydnone and of Two Forms of 3-(3-Pyridyl)sydnone

The crystal and molecular structures of three sydnone derivatives are reported. The compound 3-cyclohexylsydnone crystallizes in space group C2/c of the monoclinic system with sixteen molecules in a cell of dimensions a = 19.326 (3), b = 9.471 (2), c = 20.005 (4)Å, β = 106.85(1)°. The structure has been refined to a final value of 0.0581 for the conventional R-factor based on 2222 independent observed intensities. Form I of 3-(3-pyridyl)sydnone crystallizes in space group P2/n of the monoclinic system with eight molecules in a cell of dimensions a = 7.317(2), b = 9.283 (2), c = 20.891 (6) Å, β = 99.61(2)°. The structure has been refined to a final value of 0.0514 for the conventional R-factor based on 1208 independent observed intensities. Form II of 3-(3-pyridyl)sydnone crystallizes in space group P2₁/c of the monoclinic system with eight molecules in a cell of dimensions a=9.073 (2), b = 22.267 (5). c = 7.494(2)Å, β = 112.15 (2)°. The structure has been refined to a final value of 0.0462 for the conventional R-factor based on 1330 independent observed intensities. Each of the three structures contains two crystallographically independent molecules in the cell. In the case of 3-cyclohexylsydnone, one of the independent molecules exhibits disorder around the exocyclic bond at N(3). A comparison of bond lengths indicates that the (electron donating) cyclohexyl group brings about enhanced electron density in the N(3)-C(4) bond, and possibly in the N(3)-N(2) bond. All three structures studied here exhibit intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving C(4)-H(4)…O(6) interactions. Although there are no stacking interactions in the cyclohexyl derivative, there is evidence for such interactions in the 3-pyridyl derivatives.     

Crystal structure and packing analysis of the liquid crystal dimer alpha,omega-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4-yloxy)octane

The crystal structure of the liquid crystal dimer α,ω-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-yloxy)octane has been determined from diffraction data obtained with synchrotron radiation.

Although the molecule has a potential centre of symmetry, it occupies a general position in the cell; this unusual behaviour has been investigated with the aid of a theoretical evaluation of the packing energy.

If the Cu—Cu interaction is ignored, the neighbouring S and N atoms are coordinated to copper atom in a configuration of distorted tetrahedron.     

X-RAY STRUCTURES OF BIS[(2-AMINOPHENYL)DIPHENYLPHOSPHINE]BIS-(ETHANOL)SILVER(I) NITRATE AND TRIS[(2-AMINOPHENYL)DIPHENYLPHOSPHINE] SILVER(I) NITRATE MONOHYDRATE

Abstract

The crystal structures of two Ag(I) salts, [Ag(LH)₂(EtOH)₂](NO₃) (1) and [Ag(LH)₃](NO₃).H₂O (2) where LH is (2-aminophenyl)diphenylphosphine, have been determined at room temperature. In 1 the Ag atom is coordinated by two P atoms derived from the phosphine ligands (Ag-P(1) 2.433(3) and Ag-P(2) 2.439(3) Å and P(1)-Ag-P(2) 160.1(1)°) and two O atoms derived from two weakly coordinating ethanol molecules (Ag-O(1a) 2.49(1) and Ag-O(2a) 2.75(1) Å). In 2 the three phosphine ligands coordinate via the P atoms (Ag-P 2.455(2), 2.462(2) and 2.484(2) Å) which define a trigonal planar geometry about the Ag atom. In neither case was any evidence found for a bonding interaction between the amino-N atom and the Ag atom. Crystals of 1 are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with unit cell dimensions: a=10.272(4), b=16.358(2), c=23.709(3) Å, β=101.01(2)° and Z=4 and crystals of 2 are triclinic, space group P 1 with a=11.857(2), b=21.285(2), c=11.190(4) Å, α=91.77(1), β=104.50(2), γ=97.93(1)° and Z=2. The structures were each refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to final R=0.058 using 2433 reflections for 1 and to R=0.069 using 4428 reflections for 2.

Crystal data: (1) monoclinic, P2₁/c with a=10.500(3), b=15.598(3), c=18.344(3) Å, β=96.66(2)°, Z=4, D _C=1.24 g cm^?3. (2) monoclinic, P2₁/c with a=13.980(3), b=11.768(5), c=23.49(1) Å, β=98.77(3)°, Z=4, D_c =1.24 g cm^?3. (3) monoclinic, C2/c with a=29.57(1), b=13.485(4), c=18.17(1) Å, β=107.94(4)°, Z=8, D _C=1.16 g cm^?3. (4) monoclinic, C2/c with a=30.123(9), b=13.391(6), c=19.177(6) Å, β=111.23(4)°, Z=8, D _C=1.22 g cm^?3. Final R values for the four structures were 0.065, 0.120, 0.084 and 0.107 for 2937, 2830, 2071 and 3769 reflections, respectively. The host conformation is quite rigid and does not appear to be influenced by the shape and size of the guests studied. The host is held in a spiral conformation by means of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. In addition, host-guest hydrogen bonds are observed in all structures. Thermal analysis was used to evaluate the strength of binding of the guest molecules and confirmed that (1) is the most stable of the four compounds studied.     

Structure of [4.4.4]propellane and [4.4.4]propellatriene by X-ray Analysis

The crystal structures of [4.4.4]propellane (monoclinic, a=12.053, b=7.832, c=13.001 Å, β=104.89°, space group C2/c, Z=4) and [4.4.4]propellatriene (monoclinic, a=7.876, b=12.651, c=13.164 Å, β=122.81°, space group P2₁/c,Z=4) have been determined by X-ray analysis. In propellane the six-membered rings are in the chair conformation, in propellatriene they adopt the ‘half-chair’ conformation with a twofold axis passing through the centre of each double bond. In both cases the observed parameters correspond to virtual D₃(32) molecular symmetry. Corrections have been applied for the effect of molecular libration. Strain-minimization calculations based on semi-empirical potential functions have been carried out and the molecular parameters so derived are compared with the experimental values.

THE CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF IODO(TRIETHYLENETETRAMINE) ZINC(II) IODIDE

Abstract

Crystals of [Zn(trien)I]I (trien=triethylenetetramine C₆N₄H₁₈) are orthorhombic. The space group is P2₁2₁2₁, with four molecules in the unit cell of dimensions a=11.97(1), b=13.72(1), c=8.12(1)Å. A total of 2029 independent reflections was measured with a Siemens A.E.D. automatic diffractometer using MoK_α radiation. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares to a conventional R factor of 0.041 for 1435 observed reflections. The coordination around the central zinc atom is square pyramidal with the zinc atom 0.71 Å above the plane of the four nitrogen atoms of the ligand molecule. The values of coordination bond lengths, Zn-N(prim) 2.13 Å, Zn-N(sec) 2.19 Å, Zn-I 2.59 Å fall all in the range expected for covalent bonds. The molecular structure is discussed in comparison with that of [Cu(trien)SCN]CNS.

Significantly, 1 is a sterically encumbered m-terphenyl-stabilized trivalent titanocene paramagnetic complex and may be a practical one-electron reducing reagent.

Complexes 2 and 3 result from fragmentation of theN-sulfinylaniline ligand and insertion of the nitrene grouping into the Fe=C(aminocarbene) bond, whereas the sulfur atom inserts into one Fe-C bond of the bridging carbene. Compound 4 is formed by insertion of the entireN-sulfinyl aniline ligand into the Fe=C(aminocarbene) bond. All three complexes have basket-like arachno structure isolobal to the benzvalene one.     

Polymorphic structure and physical properties of the polyester/ether poly(ethylene-1,2-diphenoxyethane-p,p′ -dicarboxylate)

X-ray diffraction studies of fibers of the polyester/ether poly(ethylene-1,2-diphenoxyethane-p,p′ -dicarboxylate) (PEET) produced by high-speed melt spinning show the existence of two polymorphic forms, designated α and β, in the solid state. The α form is obtained by annealing filaments melt spun at takeup speeds below 3000 m/min and is also found in samples crystallized from the melt and from dilute solutions. The α form has a monoclinic unit cell with dimensions a = 7.83, b = 10.33, c = 18.68 Å, and β = 83.1°. The equilibrium melting temperature and heat of fusion of the α form are 288.3°C and 19.1 cal/g, respectively. The β form predominates in highly oriented filaments obtained at takeup velocities above 6000 m/min. The unit cell is orthorhombic with dimensions a = 7.28, b = 5.65, and c = 18.64 Å. The β form does not transform to the α form on annealing.
