Abstract  

The title compounds C₇H₈ClN₃O₂S, (I), and C₉H₁₀ClN₃O₄S_2, (II), both crystallize in monoclinic space group P2₁ /c with unit cell parameters (I) a = 7.9402(7), b = 10.6312(9), c = 11.7626(10), ?, β = 99.271(5)°, Z = 4 and (II) a = 5.1439(2), b = 9.0636(4), c = 27.1814 (7), ?, β = 95.116(2)°, Z = 4. In (I) the molecule consists of a 5-pyridine-4-yl group bonded to the carbon atom at the 5 position of (1, 3, 4) oxadiazole-2 thione hydrochloride monohydrate. The angle between the mean planes of the oxadiazole and pyridine rings is 9.6(6)°. Crystal packing in (I) is stabilized by strong N–H···O hydrogen bonds in concert with a solvent water molecule and weak O–H···Cl, O–H···S, N–H···Cl intermolecular interactions. The crystal structure of compound (II) consists of 4 [5-ethylsulfanyl)-(1, 3, 4) thiadiazole-2-yl]-pyridinium perchlorate, (C₉H₁₀N₃S₂)⁺(ClO₄)⁻, cation–anion pairs, containing strong intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak C–H···O and N–H···O intermolecular interactions operating between the ionic species that form a cooperative hydrogen-bonded, infinite chain O–H···O–H···O–H network which generates a sheet motif structure in the unit cell. It is also supported by weak intermolecular Cg···Cg π–π and Cl–O···Cg π-ring interactions which gives additional support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell. Geometry optimized MOPAC AM1 computational calculations on each compound provides support to the structural features in their respective crystal structures.

Hydrogen Bonded 3D Supramolecular Architectures of Two Organic Salts Assembled from 2-Aminoheterocyclic Compounds and Phosphoric Acid

Abstract  

Two phosphate salts (2-aminopyrimidine): (phosphoric acid): H₂O [HL1⁺ (H₂PO₄) ⁻ ]·H₂O (1), and (4-phenylthiazol-2-amine): (phosphoric acid) [HL2⁺·(H₂PO₄)⁻] (2) based on 2-aminoheterocyclic compounds, 2-aminopyrimidine (L1), and 4-phenylthiazol-2-amine (L2) were prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 6.2201(7) Å, b = 8.6139(9) Å, c = 9.4800(10) Å, α = 109.685(2)°, β = 106.3340(10)°, γ = 95.4450(10)°, V = 448.72(8) Å³, Z = 2. For 1, the cations were linked to each other via intermolecular C–H···N hydrogen bonds to form a 1-D chain structure running along the a-axis direction. The anions and the water molecules were connected alternatively along the a-axis direction through O–H···O hydrogen bonds to form a 1-D chain also. The cationic chains and the anionic chains were alternatively connected along the c-axis direction through N–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds to form a 2D corrugated sheet. Adjacent sheets were combined together through π–π interaction to form double sheet. These double sheets were further joined together by O–H···O and N–H···O hydrogen bonds to produce a 3D network structure. Compound 2 crystallizes in the Orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with a = 10.1929(10) Å, b = 8.4406(9) Å, c = 27.589(2) Å, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°, V = 2373.6(4) Å³, Z = 8. In 2, the phosphates formed 1D chain along the b-axis through two P–O–H···O = P hydrogen bonds. The cations formed 1D zigzag chain along the b-axis direction under the CH–π interaction. The anionic chains were intercalated between two adjacent cationic chains through N–H···O, O–H···O, C–H···O, and O–S contacts. Such stacking repeated along the c-axis direction to form a 3D network structure.

Two neodymium thiostannates [Nd(dien)₃]₂[(Sn₂S₆)Cl₂] (1) and [Nd(dien)₃]₂[(Sn₂S₆)(SH)₂] (2) (dien = diethylenetriamine) were synthesized by the reaction of tin and sulfur in the presence of NdCl₃ and Nd₂O₃, respectively under solvothermal conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in monoclinic space group P2₁/n. Crystallographic data for 1: a = 11.6722(16), b = 15.119(2), c = 14.1566(19) ?, β = 96.213(3)°, V = 2483.6(6) ?³, Z = 4. For 2: a = 11.7190(14), b = 15.2168(19), c = 14.2209(18) ?, β = 95.775(4)°, V = 2523.1(5) ?³, Z = 4. The nine-coordinate [Nd(trien)₃]³⁺ complex cation formed in situ acts as the counter ion to the [Sn₂S₆]⁴⁻ anion. The [Nd(dien)₃]³⁺, [Sn₂S₆]⁴⁻ and Cl^– (or SH^–) ions form a 3-dimensional network structure through the N–H···S and N–H···Cl hydrogen bonds.

Abstract  

The title compound, 3-(4-methoxy-benzylidene)-isothiochroman-4-one (C₁₇H₁₄O₂S) was prepared from the reaction of isothiochroman-4-one with benzaldehyde in the presence of small amount of HCl. The structure of the synthesised compound was determined by IR, ¹H NMR and X-ray crystallography.

The bicyclic ring of isothiochroman-4-one moiety does not adopt a planar geometry. The molecular conformation is stable via C10–H···O1 and C16–H···S1 intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. These contacts involve molecules in an extended two-dimensional sheet to the bc plane.

In both the salts, the cation exists as N(7)H tautomer with protonation at the N₃ atom. The dihedral angle of 76.64 (16)° for (1), 67.91(12)° for (cation A) and 68.27 (13)° for (cation B) in (2), between the adenine plane and phenyl ring plane, the distal orientation of the N6 substituent with respect to the imidazole ring and the free N1 position, make these benzyladeninium cations meet all the requirements necessary for cytokinin activity. The crystal structures are stabilized by N–H···N, N–H···O, C–H···O hydrogen bonds and C–H···π stacking interaction between symmetry related benzyladenine molecule.     

A Novel 1:1 Co-Crystal of Bis(1,10-Phenanthroline)(1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-Dione)Nickel(II) Hexafluorophosphate and Tris(1,10-Phenanthroline)Nickel(II) Hexafluorophosphate Complexes, [Ni(phen)2(phen-dione)] [Ni(phen)3] (PF6)4

Abstract  

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether co-crystals form by simply mixing pure solutions of [Ni(phen)₃](PF₆)₂ and [Ni(phen)₂(phen-dione)](PF₆)₂ where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and phen-dione is 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione. The 1:1 cocrystal, [Ni(phen)₂(phen-dione)][Ni(phen)₃](PF₆)₄·CH₃CN has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, paramagnetic NMR, and UV–vis spectroscopies, cyclic voltammetry, and single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The title complex crystallized in triclinic crystal system (z = 2) with space group of Pī, a = 13.201(2) ?, b = 14.782(3) ?, c = 22.294(4) ?, α = 81.575(15)^o, β = 88.756(15)^o, γ = 88.032(15)^o and V = 4300.1(14) ?³. A careful inspection of the packing pattern in the lattice reveals that non-covalent interactions of three different types, viz. C–H···F, C=O···H−C and C−H···π interactions, are active in the lattice. The coordination around the Ni(II) centers is a distorted octahedral, with bite angles of 78.3−79.8^o for the chelating phen and phen-dione ligands. Cyclic voltammetry of this co-crystal shows that the Ni(III/II) couple is quasi-reversible. The effective magnetic moment (μ_eff) of the co-crystal was measured to be 2.87 BM per Ni(II) ion by Evans method. The magnitude of μ_eff is consistent with magnetic moment for octahedral Ni(II) complexes.

Structural Correlations in High-Spin Complexes of [Fe{HC(3,5-Me2pz)3}2]2+: Solid State Structure of [Fe{HC(3,5-Me2pz)3}2][Fe2OCl6]

Abstract  The cation in the solid state structure of [Fe{HC(3,5-Me₂pz)₃}₂][Fe₂OCl₆] (pz = pyrazolyl ring) contains an octahedral iron(II) center with an average Fe–N bond distance of 2.17 Å, indicating that the iron(II) is in the high-spin form. While M–N bond distances of this length with κ³-[HC(3,5-Me₂pz)₃] ligands generally cause tilting of pz to open up the “bite” angle, in this structure the average tilting angle is only 3.1°, a much lower value than observed in earlier structures of this same cation paired with different anions. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with a = 11.1671(12) Å, b = 10.8091(11) Å, c = 17.4385(17) Å, α = γ = 90°, β = 95.685(2)°, and Z = 2. Graphical Abstract  The cation in the solid state structure of [Fe{HC(3,5-Me₂pz)₃}₂][Fe₂OCl₆] (pz = pyrazolyl ring) contains an octahedral iron(II) center in the high-spin form with unusual orientations of the pyrazolyl rings.

Abstract  

A novel 3,4,7,8-tetrachloro-1,10-phenanthroline (Cl₄phen) Zn(II) complex has been synthesized. The complex, [Zn(Cl₄phen)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂·CH₃CH₂OH (1), has been identified and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis and photoluminescence studies.

Complex (1) consists of cationic species [Zn(Cl₄phen)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺, NO₃ ⁻ and CH₃CH₂OH. The zinc atom displays a distorted cis-N₄O₂ octahedral geometry. Via extended Zn–O–H···O–N–O···H–O–Zn bridge, every mononuclear unit is linked with other ones to form one-dimensional (1D) infinite chain of hydrogen bond system. Three-dimensional (3D) polymeric network arrangement was built via weak C–H···O and π-stacking interactions between Cl₄phen moieties. A solvent-dependency effect of complex (1) was observed in spectroscopic properties.

(I), C₁₈H₁₇NO₃S, is triclinic with space group P-1 and cell constants: a = 8.6129(2) Å, b = 8.8366(2) Å, c = 11.0108(2) Å, α = 72.7920(1)°, β = 75.0120(1)°, γ = 77.2550(1)°, V = 763.79(3) ų and Z = 2. (II), C₂₁H₁₇NO₂S, is monoclinic with space group P21/n and cell constants: a = 10.8355(18) Å, b = 10.6987(19) Å, c = 14.472(3) Å, β = 75.0120(1), V = 1675.2(5) ų and Z = 4. (III), C₁₉H₁₉NO₂SSi, is monoclinic with, space group P21/c and cell constants: a = 12.9596(1) Å, b = 10.543(3) Å, c = 13.543(2) Å, β = 93.58°, V = 1846.8(6)ų and Z = 4. All three have the same (phenylsulfonyl)indole skeleton with different ligands attached to the 2- and 3-sites of the indole ring. The angle between the mean planes of the indole and benzyl groups is 76.9(6)° (I), 82.9(3)° (II), 89.6(2)° (III) and between the sulfonyl group with the indole and benzyl rings is 61.2(9)° (I), 59.0((5)° (II), 51.5(6)°, 42.5(8)° (III) and 51.5(6)°(I), 44.3(8)° (II), 47.2(8)° (III), respectively. In addition to the ligand substitutions, weak intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bond interactions and π stacking interactions between the π orbitals of nearby indole and phenyl rings influence these twist angles. Comparison to a MOPAC AM1 computational calculation supports these observations.

The crystal structures of alkali metal and ammonium bifluorides MHF₂ (M = Na, NH₄, or Rb) are refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all the crystals of acid fluorides studied, HF ₂ ^t- anions have a linear structure with F⋯F distances ranging from 2.277 to 2.281 Å. The crystal structures of the Rb₅F₄(HF₂) · 2H₂O and RbF · H₂O compounds are determined. It is established that, in these structures, the O-H⋯F hydrogen bonds whose lengths are equal to 2.55–2.57 and 2.63 Å participate in the formation of trinuclear bent anions and zigzag anionic chains, respectively. __________ Translated from Kristallografiya, Vol. 50, No. 5, 2005, pp. 834–839.

Crystal Structure of [4-(Methylsulfanyl)Phenyl]Acetic Acid

Abstract  

The title compound, C₉H₁₀O₂S, (I), crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P − 1, with unit cell parameters a = 6.2249(3), b = 7.3733(5), c = 19.5708(12), Å, α = 86.746(5)°, β = 88.682(5)°, γ = 86.988(5)°, Z = 4. The molecule consists of a methyl sulfanyl group bonded to benzyl acetic acid at the 4 position crystallizing with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The carboxylic acid group from the acetic acid moiety in these two molecules forms a classic O–H···O hydrogen bonded dimer with O···O distances of 2.673(2) and 2.646(2) Å, in a R₂² (8) graph-set motif which link the molecules into pairs around inversion centers in the unit cell. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the R₂² (8) graph-set motif with the mean planes of the two nearby benzyl groups within the same dimer in the unit cell are 64.1(6)° and 71.3(4)°, respectively. Within the same dimer the dihedral angle between the two benzyl groups is 45.2(1)°. The structure is supported by a weak intermolecular C–H···Cg π-ring interaction and gives support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell. Comparison to a MOPAC AM1 computational calculation provides support to these observations.

Abstract  The crystal structures for two of the ligands C₆H₅CH₂SOCH₂CONHCH₂C₆H₅ (1) and C₆H₅SOCH₂CON(ⁱC₃H₇)₂ (2) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. These compounds crystallize in orthorhombic system with space groups and cell parameters, Pca21(no. 29), a = 8.4600(5) ?, b = 5.3534(5) ?, c = 32.136(2) ?, V = 1455.42(15) ?³ and Pna21(no. 33) a = 17.5563(11) ?, b = 5.7902(4) ?, c = 14.2866(9) ?, V = 1452.30(16) ?³, respectively.

Abstract  A novel binuclear Smarium (III) complex with N-(2-propionic acid)-salicyloyl hydrazone (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₃L) was prepared and characterized. The crystal structure of [Sm₂(H₂L)₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₄] (1) was determined by X-ray single crystal diffractometry. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic systerm, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 0.10229(2), c = 31.549(7), b = 0.70599(15) nm, and Z = 4. In the structure, Sm(III) is nine-coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O atoms and imido N atoms of two ligands (H₂L and HL forms) and O atoms from two water molecules. H₂L and HL act as tridentate ligands which form two stable five-numbered chelating rings sharing one edge in the keto form for each ligand, and the carboxyl groups of two ligands were coordinated via bidentated bridging form. The coordination polyhedron around Sm (III) was described as a monocapped square antiprism. The inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds resulted in a three-dimensional network and provided extra stability for the structure. The complex was researched the interaction with calf thymus DNA by electronic absorption titration and emission titration. The results show that the complex is bound to calf thymus DNA mainly by intercalation .The complex also shows good fluorescence property. Index Abstract  The title compound, [Sm₂(H₂L)₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₄] was synthesized by the treatment of N-(2-propionic acid)-salicyloyl hydrazone (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₃L) and Sm(NO₃) · 4H₂O and its crystal structure determined. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that Sm (III) is nine-coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O atoms and imido N atoms of two ligands (H₂L and HL forms) and O atoms from two water molecules. The carboxyl groups of two ligands were coordinated via bidentated bridging form. The coordination polyhedron around Sm (III) was described as a monocapped square antiprism.

Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Spectroscopic Properties of 1,2-Bis[4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxobutyl]benzene

Abstract  

The crystal structure of the title compound C₂₂H₃₀N₄O₂·H₂O (L), has been determined using X-ray diffraction at 293 K. The crystal of 1,2-bis[4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxobutyl]benzene is in triclinic crystal system with space group P(−1) (Z = 2), lattice parameters a = 8.225(6) ?, b = 10.967(6) ?, c = 12.903(6) ?, V = 1119.1(11) ?³. Analyses of single crystals of L, crystallized from dichloromethane/diethyl ether (1:1), revealed that the molecules are arranged in couples, which adopt a pseudo chair conformation, by means of intermolecular O–H···N hydrogen bonding interactions. Moreover, the extended structure revealed a 1D chain caused by several C–H···N intermolecular interactions.
