Abstract  

The compound N-(N-acetic acid-yl-phthalimide-5-yl) maleamic acid (C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₇, M _r  = 318) was synthesized and its structure was characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and IR spectra. The single crystal of the title compound (C₁₄H₁₄N₂O₉, M _r  = 354.27) was cultured and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 14.3859(19), b = 12.5835(18), c = 8.6934(15) ?, β = 102.824(2)°, V = 1534.5(4) ?³, Z = 4, D _c  = 1.534 g cm⁻³, μ(Mo Kα) = 0.131 mm⁻¹, F(000) = 736. The final refinement gave R = 0.0652, wR(F ²) = 0.1239 for 2,703 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one N-(N-acetic acid-yl-phthalimide-5-yl) maleamic acid molecule and two water molecules. One of the two water molecules is disordered. The phthalimide group is essentially planar. The crystal structure of the title compound is stabilized by N–H…O and O–H…O hydrogen bonds interactions. The compound N-(N-acetic acid-yl-phthalimide-5-yl) maleamic acid possesses moderate antibacterial activity.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-alkyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-phenyl dithiocarbamato)mercury(II)

Abstract  

The mixed ligand dithiocarbamate complex was synthesized by the reaction between the ammonium salt of the dithiocarbamate ligands with mercury salt. There are two mercury complexes in the asymmetric unit with a compositional disorder between an ethyl group and a methyl group. A distorted tetrahedral geometry is found for each mercury atom defined by four sulphur atoms derived from two asymmetrically chelating dithiocarbamate ligands. IR spectra show thioureide υ(C–N) bands at 1491 cm⁻¹ which is higher than observed in the simple complexes of the same ligands. The effect of alkyl substituents were observed in the magnetic unequivalence of the thioureide and phenyl units in the NMR spectroscopy. The molecules are related to each other by virtue of the compositional disorder which exists at three positions in the alkyl group across the unit. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 10.4764(10) ?, b = 11.0433(10) ?, c = 18.5566(17) ?, α = 97.8980(10)^°, β = 95.3340(10)^°, γ = 110.3010(10)^°, and Z = 2.

Specific stereochemical features of metallochelate complexes with tridentate <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N,N</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>,O)-donating ligands

Earlier X-ray diffraction studies of a series of 12 adducts (I–XII) between metallochelate complexes [M = Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II)] with tridentate N,N,N(N,N,O)-donating Schiff bases (L) and monodentate or bidentate ligands (L′) revealed a similarity in the stereochemistry of these compounds. The coordination polyhedron of metal atoms in compounds I–XII is a tetragonal pyramid (bipyramid) with two vertices occupied competitively. The L ligand occupies three coordination sites in the base of the pyramid. The L′ ligand approaches the metal atom, as a rule, in a direction perpendicular to the basal plane. The fourth site in the base of the pyramid and the apical vertex are occupied competitively. Different patterns of occupation of these positions are observed: they include the donor atoms of both the L and L′ ligands.

Nanoclusters based on pentagondodecahedra with shells in the form of <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis>32, <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis>42, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">D</Emphasis>50 deltahedra in crystal structures of intermetallic compounds

The TOPOS software package has been used to form a database of intermetallic compounds containing pentagondodecahedral d clusters (528 crystal structures of intermetallic compounds, 111 topological types, and 47 space symmetry groups). On the whole, 606 atomic d configurations have been selected which are described by 14 point symmetry groups. Examples of nanoclusters are presented which are precursors of the crystal structures of intermetallic compounds with the outer shell in the form of deltahedra D, which are formed above dodecahedra. These nanoclusters are identified in the automatic mode of structural data processing: D32 (K₈In₆Ge₄₀, Cs₃₀Na₃Sn₁₆₂), D ₄₂ (Ru₃Be₁₇, Y₃Cd₁₈, Ca₃(Cd₁₇Al)), and D ₅₀ (Yb₃Zn₁₈, Ce₃(Au₁₄Sn₃), Pr₃Cd₁₈, Eu₄Cd₂₅), where 32, 42, and 50 are the numbers of atoms in the shell. Similar deltahedra were found previously in icosahedral nanoclusters (precursors of intermetallic compounds). Structures with the dodecahedral nanocluster precursors containing D42 and D50 deltahedra are approximants of MCd_5.7 (M = Yb or Ca) quasicrystals and belong to the family of MCd₆ (M = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Yb, Y, or Ca).

Lithium–halogen exchange experiments conducted in tetrahydrofuran at –78C using n-butyl lithium revealed that no exchange occurred for the tris-2-chloro compound, but did occur for the tris-2-bromo analog to yield tribenzylamine upon quench and work-up.

Abstract  

In order to investigate the intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition, we prepared some new tertiary N-(5-substituted-2-furfuryl)-N-prop-2-ynyl-p-toluidines [Hergold-Brundić et al., Acta Cryst C56:e520, 2000; Mance and Jakopčić, Mol Divers 9:229, 2005; Mance, “unpublished results”] by the alkylation of secondary N-(5-substituted-2-furfuryl)-p-toluidines with the propargyl-bromide [Mance and Šindler-Kulyk, Synth Commun 26:923, 1996]. In the course of preparation of N-(5-methoxy-2-furfuryl)-N-prop-2-ynyl-p-toluidine [Mance, “unpublished results”], besides the main product (compound 1) (Scheme 1) we obtained N,N-di(prop-2-ynyl)-p-toluidine (compound 2) as the colourless crystals. The title compound 2, N,N-di(prop-2-ynyl)-p-toluidine, C₁₃H₁₃N, crystallizes in monoclinic C 2/c space group with unit cell parameters: a = 19.5319(9) ?, b = 7.5230(3) ?, c = 15.9000(7) ?, β = 112.554(5)°, V = 2157.64(18) ?³, Z = 8. The crystal structure is dominated by van der Waals forces only. The bond distances around amine N atom correspond to σ dominated bonds (1.467(2), 1.462(2) and 1.419(2) ?). The angles sum around amine N atom is in accord with sp³ hybridization (343°).
