Abstract  

The metallacrown complex Mn^II(OAc)₂[15-MC_Mn^III _(N)shi-5](Im)₃(EtOH)₃ has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 24.3326(15) ?, b = 24.0354(15) ?, c = 27.0531(17) ?, α = 90.00°, β = 100.3883(11)°, γ = 90.00°, V = 15562.5(17) ?³, Z = 4, and Z′ = 2. Four of the five manganese(III) ions of the metallacrown ring adopt a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, and the fifth manganese(III) ion is five coordinate and exhibits a distorted square pyramidal environment. The configuration of the manganese(III) ions about the ring follows a pattern of ΔΛΔPP, with P representing planar. In addition, the imidazole units are bound to three separate ring manganese(III) ions, and the imidazole units are directed to the outside of the molecule. A manganese(II) ion is encapsulated in the central core of the molecule, and the central ion is seven coordinate with a face-capped trigonal prismatic geometry.     

The Structure and Fluorescence Property of a 3D Supramolecular Network [Cd2(2-mBIM)2Cl2(C4H4O4)(H2O)2(H2O)]n

Abstract  

A cadmium(II) coordination polymer [Cd₂(2-mBIM)₂Cl₂(C₄H₄O₄)(H₂O)₂(H₂O)] _n (1) (wherein 2-mBIM = bis(2-methylimidazo-1-yl) methane, C₄H₄O₄ = succinate anion) has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 23.5265(15) ?, b = 7.3558(5) ?, c = 17.4771(11) ?, β = 90.3560(10)°, V = 3024.5(3) ?³, Z = 4. Each Cd(II) atom is octahedrally coordinated and connected with two adjacent Cd(II) atoms by two individual 2-mBIM ligands in a trans-configuration to form one-dimensional (1D) helical structure. Such 1D helical chain structures were connected to each other via the succinate anion ligands and result in the formation of a two-dimensional (2D) framework. Meanwhile, an overall three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network was formed via the weak hydrogen bond interactions between metal-coordination and free water molecules.

Abstract  

Treatment of TaCl(NMe₂)₄ with ZnMe₂ in pentane furnishes a mixture of TaCl(Me)(NMe₂)₃, TaMe(NMe₂)₄, and Ta(NMe₂)₅ as the principal reaction products based on ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Depending upon the work-up conditions employed, the compounds TaCl(Me)(NMe₂)₃ and ZnCl₂(NHMe₂)₂ have been isolated and their molecular structures established by X-ray crystallography. TaCl(Me)(NMe₂)₃ crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁, a = 13.644(4) ?, b = 12.934(4) ?, c = 6.992(2) ?, V = 1233.9(7) ?³, Z = 4, and d _calc = 1.958 Mg/m³; R = 0.0316 and wR ₂ = 0.0707 for 2630 reflections with I > 2σ(I). The molecular structure of TaCl(Me)(NMe₂)₃ consists of a trigonal bipyramidal core and contains axial and equatorial chlorine and methyl groups, respectively. ZnCl₂(NHMe₂)₂ crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 5.759(1) ?, b = 10.810(2) ?, c = 15.174(3) ?, V = 944.1(3) ?³, Z = 4, d _calc = 1.593 Mg/m³; R = 0.0213 and wR ₂ = 0.0494 for 1872 reflections with I > 2σ(I). ZnCl₂(NHMe₂)₂ exhibits a tetrahedral motif and represents the first reported four-coordinate zinc(II) compound containing acyclic monodentate secondary amine groups.

Abstract  

Two new alkali thorium phosphate materials, K₃Th₂(PO₄)₃F₂ and RbThPO₄F₂, were isolated by hydrothermal synthesis at 575 °C. These structures were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction using a full-matrix least squares method. The K₃Th₂(PO₄)₃F₂ compound crystallizes in C2/c (No. 15) with a = 15.8179(15) ?, b = 9.8172(8) ?, c = 9.6472(9) ?, β = 121.132(7)°, Z = 4 and R ₁ = 0.0329. This structure contains two large open channels possibly suitable for incorporating radioactive cesium isotopes for waste storage. The RbThPO₄F₂ structure forms in the P2 ₁ /m (No. 11) space group with a = 6.719(4) ?, b = 6.002(3) ?, c = 7.431(5) ?, β = 113.925(19)°, Z = 2 and R ₁ = 0.0359. Unique to this material is a chain of edge sharing thorium with square antiprism coordination environments where fluorine occupies both sites along the edge. Both structures also represent the first occurrences of a fluorinated alkali thorium phosphate material.

In general, the overall geometry of these complexes can be regarded as a distorted octahedron with the tridentate thiosemicarbazonato ligands (L²⁻) bonded to the MoO₂ ²⁺ core, with the imine nitrogen, phenoxyl oxygen, sulfur atom and one of the terminal oxygen atoms of the dioxomolybdenum occupying the equatorial position. The sixth coordination site is occupied by the dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solvent molecules. The adjacent molecules of C1 are linked by N–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming polymeric chains that run parallel to the bc plane. On the other hand, C2 is a discrete molecule while the molecules of C3 associate via weak N–H···O hydrogen bonding interaction to form a polymeric chain that runs along the a-axis.

The three title compounds show extensive hydrogen bonding networks in the solid state. The structure of diphenyl-2-isopropylimidazol-4(5)yl phosphane oxide (3) is dominated by N–H⋯OP hydrogen bonds, whereas in bis(2-isopropylimidazol-4(5)-yl)phenyl- (2) and tris(2-isopropylimidazol-4(5)yl)phosphane oxide (1) both, N–H⋯N and N–H⋯OP hydrogen bonds determine the solid-state structures. Compound 1 crystallises in the monoclinic space group Cc with cell parameters a = 19.5447(6) ?, b = 10.45764(16) ?, c = 10.8549(3) ? and β = 121.418(4)°; 2 in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁, with a = 11.5997(3) ?, b = 9.5836(2) ?, c = 16.1860(4) ? and 3 in the orthorhombic space group Pca2₁, with a = 10.8430(2) ?, b = 10.9277(2) ? and c = 27.7088(6) ?.     

Crystal Structures of a Series of 1,1-Spiro-bis(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene)-Based Derivatives

Abstract  

The structures of four spirobisnaphthalenes based monomers 1, 2, 3a and 3b are reported. Each compound represents a methoxylated precursor which after deprotection led to the formation of a monomer successfully used for the synthesis of Polymers of intrinsic microporosity. The spiro-centre represents the site of contortion that, since its rigidity, leads to inefficient packing in the solid state inducing microporosity in the final polymer. Compound 1 crystallized in the monoclinic P2/c space group with unit cell parameters a = 8.1659(19) ?, b = 7.5298(18) ?, c = 19.130(5) ?, β = 97.935(4)°, V = 1165.0(5) ?³, Z = 2, D = 1.210 Mg m⁻³. Compound 2 crystallized in the monoclinic P2₁/n space group with unit cell parameters a = 12.6940(9) ?, b = 7.7267(6) ?, c = 19.9754(15) ?, β = 97.220(1)°, V = 1943.7(3) ?³, Z = 4, D = 1.355 Mg m⁻³.

Hydrogen Bonded Supramolecular Assembly in N6-Benzyladeninium Nitrate and N6-Benzyladeninium 3-Hydroxy Picolinate: A Synthetic Cytokinin

Abstract  

N ⁶-benzyladeninium nitrate, (1), C₁₂H₁₂N₅ ⁺ NO₃ ⁻ crystallizes in P2 ₁/c, with a = 15.0035(13), b = 5.3788(5), c = 16.8954(13) ?, β = 107.331(6)°, Z = 4 and N ⁶-benzyladeninium 3-hydroxy picolinate, (2), C₁₂H₁₂N₅ ⁺ C₆H₄NO₃ ⁻, crystallizes in P1, with a = 8.3017(4), b = 14.6170(7), c = 14.7909 (8) ?, α = 78.801 (4), β = 81.979 (4),γ = 88.849 (4)°, Z = 4. 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.
