Abstract  

The X-ray structures of two α-substituted α-(2-pyridyl-N-oxide)ethanols, the α-phenyl- (3a) and α-trifluoromethyl- (3b) derivatives, were determined. On dehydration of 3a, compound 4a was obtained. This study brought a clear proof that the α-(2-pyridyl-N-oxide)ethanols are formed following oxidation with peroxides of their corresponding pyridines. A different molecular packing was observed for the α-trifluoromethyl derivative due to an additional hydrogen bonding.

Compound 2 also crystallized in a monoclinic space group, P2₁/c, but here the molecules have no crystallographic symmetry. In both compounds the cadmium atom is bonded to two halide ions and to two dimethylthiourea molecules through the sulfur atoms in a tetrahedral environment. The molecules are linked via N–H⋯Halide hydrogen bonds to form infinite one-dimensional chains in 1 and infinite two dimensional networks in 2. The complexes were also characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and the data are consistent with the structures of the compounds.

Compounds 1 and 3 present an intermolecular hydrogen bond involving the thione sulfur and the NH hydrogen, which is not present in 2 owing to the steric hindrance of the methyl group in the phenyl ring. The geometry of the molecule is affected by the position of the methyl groups on the pyridine and aryl rings.

Supramolecular Aggregation Via Sb···S Interactions and O–H···O Hydrogen-bonding in Tris(N-methyl-N-2-hydroxyethyl)dithiocarbamato-S,S′)antimony(III) Methanol Solvate: Sb[S2CN(Me)(CH2CH2OH)]3?·?MeOH

Abstract The central antimony atom in Sb[S₂CN(Me)CH₂CH₂OH]₃ · MeOH is asymmetrically chelated by three dithiocarbamate ligands leading to a six-coordinate geometry that defines a distorted octahedron; the lone-pair of electrons projects out through the triangular face defined by the three sulphur atoms forming the longer Sb–S bonds. Centrosymmetrically related molecules associate via weak Sb···S interactions to form dimeric aggregates. The crystal packing is dominated by O–H···O interactions involving both the ethanol residues and solvent methanol molecules via a 16-membered [O–H···]₈ ring. These extend in two dimensions to form a layer architecture. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 9.1917(10) ?, b = 9.5326(10) ?, c = 15.5448(17) ?, α = 69.038(14)°, β = 70.506(15)°, γ = 70.447(16)°, and Z = 2.

4-(Piperidyl-1)-2-phenylpyrido[2,3-a]anthraquinone-7,12 monobromohydrate (HL)Br · 3H₂O (I) and 4-(piperidyl-1)-2-phenylpyrido[2,3-a]anthraquinone-7,12 dibromohydrate (H₂ L)Br₂ · 3H₂O (II) are isolated in the crystalline state. The crystal structures of compounds I and II are determined using X-ray diffraction. It is established that the protonation of 4-(piperidyl-1)-2-phenylpyrido[2,3-a]anthraquinone-7,12 proceeds primarily through the pyridine atom at pH 2–3. The attachment of the second proton occurs through the piperidine nitrogen atom at pH ∼ 1. Original Russian Text ? O.V. Kovalchukova, A.I. Stash, V.K. Belsky, S.B. Strashnova, B.E.
