The crystal structure of 2-nitroresorcinol

2-Nitroresorcinol is triclinic, space group P; at –100°Ca=7.083(2),b=7.696(2),c=6.607(2) Å, =74.61(2), =77.81(2), =68.64(2)°,V=320.8(2) ų,D _x=1.606(1) g cm^–3,Z=2. The two hydroxyl groups form symmetric intramolecular hydrogen bonds to the nitro group. The molecules pack in stacks held together by - interaction with adjacent molecules in a head-to-tail arrangement.     

4-(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-2-[3-(3-[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]hexahydro-1-pyrimidinylmethyl)hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl]-1diazenylbenzonitrile: X-ray crystal structure

4-(E)-2-[3-(3-[(E)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]hexahydro-1-pyrimidinylmethyl)hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl]-1-diazenylbenzonitrile (1) has been synthesized by reaction of p-cyanobenzene diazonium chloride with a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,3-propanediamine. The crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (1) adopts a folded conformation, similar to previously studied ethylenediamine analogues, and there is evidence of -stacking in the crystal packing. The two planar phenyltriazenyl groups are almost parallel, forming an angle of 6.6(1), and display weak intermolecular s interactions between molecules. This result establishes the structure of the product of this diazonium coupling reaction as the 1-(1-hexahydropyimidinylmethyl)hexahydropyrimidine derivative and not the alternate tetraazabicyclo[5.5.1]tridecane derivative. Crystal data: 1C₂₃H₂₆N₁₀, monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 10.717(1) Å, b = 7.749(1) Å, c = 28.252(2) Å, = 97.223(2), V = 2327.5(5) ų, for Z = 4.     

Synthesis,thermal reactivity and structure of 1,2-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethynyl)benzene

The crystal structure of the new enediyne 3 was determined by X-ray diffraction. 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61) with a = 12.7148(9) Å, b = 7.4872(8) Å, c = 38.890(4) Å, = = = 90 and Z = 8. The three-dimensional structure is characterized by an 8-membered cyclic array linking four molecules of 3 by hydrogen bonding between phenolic and methoxy groups. Furthermore, stabilization by –-stacking and CH s interactions is present. The important cd distance (between the two terminal acetylene carbons of the enediyne) which is relevant for the Bergman cyclization, was determined to 401 pm, being in good agreement with the high cyclization barrier ( G = 147.9 kJ mol^–1 at 220C) that was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).     

Crystal structure of diethoxynitrobenzene-p-tert-butylcalix [4]arene⋅2(CH3)2C=O: Evidence of intra- and intermolecular CH/π interactions forced by crystal packing

Diethoxynitrobenzene-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene2(CH₃)₂C=O crystallized in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with cell dimensions a = 16.1437(2) Å, b = 21.0292(2) Å, c = 18.9685(3) Å and = 110.308(1)°. The asymmetric unit consists of a diethoxynitrobenzene-p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene molecule and two solvated acetone molecules. Besides the usual CH/ interaction between p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene cavity and a solvated acetone, this structure shows the intra- and intermolecular CH/ interactions among a nitrobenzene ring, ethylene bridge of the ethoxynitrobenzene side chain and a solvated acetone molecule.     

Structural characterization and photophysical properties of a luminescent trinuclear zinc(II) complex exhibiting multiple coordination geometries

A luminescent trinuclear zinc(II) complex, tris(-2,3-toluenedithiolato)-1:2²S¹;1:2²S¹, 2:3²S²;3S², 1:3²S³;3S³-bis(2,2-bypyridine)-1²N,N,2²N,N-trizinc, containing 3,4-dimercaptotoluene (tdt) and 2,2-bipyridine (bpy) has been synthesized and found to have the trinuclear formulation Zn₃(tdt)₃(bpy)₂ (I).

Present in the solid state are both intra- and intermolecular – interactions. The complex is emissive at 77 K in the solid state with an emission maximum at 574± 2 nm with a luminescence lifetime of 7.4± 0.4 ns. The unstructured emission is assigned as a metal-mediated ligand-to-ligand –^* charge transfer transition.     

Molecular structure of 1-phenyl-1-dimethylamino-4,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-aza-3λ3-phosphabutadiene-1,3

The crystal and molecular structure of 1-phenyl-1-dimethylamino-4,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-aza-3³-phosphabutadiene-1,3, Me₂N(Ph)C=N—P=C(SiMe₃)₂ (1), has been determined.

The main geometrical parameters of 1 as well as ab initio (HF/6-31+G**) calculations of the model systems show no clear evidence of high efficiency of the (C=N)— (P=C) conjugation.     

Helical chirality of pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,10]phenanthroline derivatives

The objective of the study was to confirm by X-ray analysis the phenomenon of helical chirality inferred from solution ¹H-NMR data for a series of derivatives based on the novel pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,10]phenanthroline system. The syntheses of the title compounds and their ¹H-NMR data are presented. Crystals of the representative compound ethyl, 1-(4-phenylbenzoyl)-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,10]phenanthroline-3-carboxylate, with molecular formula C₃₁H₂₂N₂O₃, were found to crystallize in the triclinic system, space group P 1 with a = 7.8541(1), b = 11.2605(2), c = 13.4093(3) Å, = 92.244(1), = 90.292(1), = 106.475(1) and Z = 2. The X-ray analysis revealed the predicted helicity of the phenanthroline system as well as its origin, namely the proximity of the pyridine N atom and the carbonyl C atom of the phenylbenzoyl residue, with non-bonded distance N s C of only 2.465(2) Å. A secondary, but significant distortion, involving displacement of the carbonyl C atom by more than 0.5 Å from the pyrrole ring, was evident. The crystal structure is maintained by C–H s O hydrogen bonds and – interactions.     

C-H⋯π(Ar)⋯Cl-C,C-Cl⋯π(Ar), Cl⋯Cl and other interactions in the crystal structure of 6-benzoyl-2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3-benzdioxin

The title compound is monoclinic,P2₁/n,Z=4,a=9.934(1),b=18.399(2),c=11.098(2)Å, =111.08(1)°. The molecule can conveniently be visualized as a benzophenone molecule with one of the aromatic rings fused to a 1,3-dioxin ring which adopts a distorted envelope conformation withcis-trichloromethyl groups substituted at positions 2 and 4. An interaction, observed for the first time, involves a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom from opposite sides of the same aromatic ring to give C-H-(Ar)Cl-C. The parameters are Hring-centroid 2.63 A, Clring centroid 3.41 Å, Hring-centroidCl 167°, C-Hring centroid 159°, C-Clring centroid 150.2°. The (Ar) system is that of the unfused aromatic ring. A second (Ar) Cl-C interaction occurs but this time with the (Ar) system of the fused aromatic ring. The ClCl and ClO(=C) interactions form the familiar zig-zag pattern which has been noted for many chloroaromatic compounds.     

Molecular structure of a novel heterocycle: 1,1,4,4,tetramethyl-1H,4H-thieno[3,4-c]thiophene

The X-ray crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₁₄S₁, is reported. Crystals are monoclinic, space groupP2₁/c with Z = 2 in a unit cell of dimensionsa = 8.517(2),b = 6.109(1),c = 10.730(1) Å, and = 107.01(2)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares toR = 0.032 for 1059 diffractometer data. The bicyclic molecular framework contains eight -electrons and is planar and rigid, all relevant interatomic distances corresponding to either ideally single or ideally double bonds. The first UV absorption observed at 3.61 eV, and tentatively described as due to a (b_g) *(a _u*) electron transition, is significantly higher than that found in a related aromatic tetraphenylthienothiophene system.     

Molecular assembly in an inclusion crystal of tris(2-benzimidazylmethyl)amine with 4-nitrobenzoic acid

A 1:2 inclusion compound of tris(2-benzimidazylmethyl)amine with 4-nitrobenzoic acid [(C₂₄H₂₁N₇) · (C₇H₅NO₂)₂] has been prepared and the molecular assembly in solid state has been determined by X-ray crystal structural analysis. The crystal structure (C 2/c, a = 25.488(5), b = 13.304(3), c = 21.479(4) Å, = 93.35 (3)°, Z = 8, R = 0.065) consists of discrete dimeric inclusion compounds joined together by N(5)...N(6) intermolecular hydrogen bonds between pairs of centrosymmetrically related benzimidazole rings of the hosts. There are two types of guest molecules in the crystal, one is incorporated within the cavity of the host via three intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds while the other is situated outside the cavity and connected with the host through one O—H···N hydrogen bond. The – stacking interactions between guests and benzimidazole rings result in one-dimensional columns. The aromatic face–face interactions between neighbouring columns facilitate the assembly of those columns into two-dimensional layers.     

Synthesis and structure of a new hybrid vanadium arsenate: [VO<Subscript>2</Subscript>(phen)]<Subscript>2</Subscript>(H<Subscript>2</Subscript>AsO<Subscript>4</Subscript>)⋅H<Subscript>3</Subscript>O

A new hybrid vanadium arsenate [VO₂(phen)]₂(H₂AsO₄)H₃O 1 (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized under hydrothermal reaction conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), IR and elemental analyses.

Compound 1 is composed of discrete tricyclic (VO₂)₂(H₂AsO₄) cluster decorated with two phen ligands. The discrete arsenic–vanadium clusters are extended into three-dimensional supramolecular arrays via – stacking interactions of phen groups.

Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic,P2₁,a=9.791(4),b=7.129(3),c=10.428(3)Å,=91.84(3)°,V=727.50ų,Z=2. The structure was solved by direct methods, from data collected at room temperature on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer, and refined by full matrix least squares to a finalR value of 0.045 using 2466 reflections. The molecules form stacks along theb axis of the formA, B, A, B(A=dichloromethylene group; B=aromatic ring in the molecule at –x, 1/2+y, –z to the molecule atx, y, z containing A). Cl(Ar),, ClCl, ClO(N), (Cl₃C)HO intermolecular interactions are also present. An inverse correlation between the (C)ClCl(C) distance and the difference in the corresponding pairs of C-ClCl angles is observed and is interpreted in terms of incipient nucleophile: electrophile attack.     

Crystal structure of bis(triphenylphosphine)-cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium-phenylacetylide chloro-copper(I) acetone solvate

The product of the reaction of (-C₅ H₅)Ru(PPh₃)₂ Cl and CuC₂Ph has been characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques and shown to have stoichiometry (-C₅ H₅)Ru(PPh₃)₂Cu(C₂Ph)Cl-(CH₃)₂CO(I). The compound contains a phenylethynyl group -bonded to the ruthenium atom and simultaneously -bonded to a terminal Cu-Cl bond. Crystals of this compound from acetone are monoclinic,P2₁/c, witha = 12.914, = 22.111,c = 16.534 Å, = 110.77 °, andZ — 4. Full-matrix least-squares refinement constraining the phenyl rings of the triphenylphosphines, the cyclopentadienyl ring, and the solvent of crystallization (acetone) as rigid groups yieldedR and weightedR values of 0.084 and 0.075, respectively.     

Structure of methylphenylhydrazone form of 2-(2-methylphenylazo)-1,3-indandione

The molecule crystallizes in a ketohydrazone tautomeric form. The tautomeric form is stabilized by a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond of 2.709(2) Å binding the 3-oxo to the nearest nitrogen atom in the azine chain. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_l/c witha=7.0470(4),b=11.3090(9),c=16.2250(4) Å, =90.310(3)°, V=1293.0(1) ų, Z=4,Dx=1.3576 g cm^–3 and (Cu-K)=7.03 cm^–1. The molecule is nearly planar not regarding the methyl group; the small deviations from planarity are indicative of intramolecular interactions between the phenylazo group and indandione group. Some of the bond lengths and angles found in the molecule are distorted due to resonance, -electron delocalization and strain. The relation between these chemical effects and structural results are discussed.     

Synthesis,characterization and crystal structure of oxovanadium(IV) complex with tridentate o-van-gly and bidentate phenanthroline

A novel oxovanadium(IV) complex with tridentate schiff base and bidentate phenanthroline ligands, VO(o-van)(phen) 2H₂O[o-van-gly: o-vanillin-glycine; phen: phenanthroline], was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-vis spectra.

V(IV) is six-coordinate with three oxygen atoms and three nitrogen atoms in a distorted octahedral geometry. The complex forms a 3-D network via – stacking and hydrogen bonds.     

Structural characterization and excited-state properties of luminescent <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tris</Emphasis>-(μ -3-methyl-5- trifluoromethylpyrazolato)trigold(I)

Tris-(-(3-methyl-5-trifluoromethylpyrazolato)-N:N)triangulo-trigold(I), (3,5-tfmpz)₃ Au₃, has been synthesized and exhibits a planar nine-member ring containing a central gold triangle with an average intramolecular Au–Au distance of 3.3455(8) Å. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cc with a = 12.998(2) Å, b = 22.910 (3) Å, c = 7.217(1) Å, and = 104.781(1). The solid-state structure consists of sheets of (3,5-tfmpz)₃Au₃ units stacked in an offset fashion along the c axis such that one gold atom in each Au₃ unit (Au1) lies approximately over the midpoint of the Au1–Au3 edge of the triangle in the layer below it. The intermolecular Au–Au distances are between 3.880(1) and 4.023(1) Å, which are too long for there to be significant intertrimer bonding interaction suggesting that any supramolecular organization may be due to hydrogen-fluorine and fluorine-fluorine interactions between the molecules. The complex exhibits excitation-dependent emission at room temperature in the solid state. The structured higher energy emission (_em = 468, 517, and 556(sh) nm) is believed to be a ligand-centered ^* transition with a lower energy unstructured emission (_em = 658 nm) assigned to the classical Au–Au excited state transition.     

Molecular structure of isopropyl 1-phenyl-4-phenylhydrazono-5-oxo-3-pyrazolecarboxylate

The new azopyrazolone dye has been synthesized and its crystal structure has been investigated. Crystals of C₁₉H₁₈N₄O₃ are triclinic: ,a=7.484(1),b=10.646 (1),c=11.897(1) Å, =82.28(1), =72.86(1), =86.83(1)°,Z=2. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques toR=0.050 for 2622 unique reflections. The tautomeric form of the molecules has been determined as a hydrazo form. Delocalization of the C5=O3 and C4=N3 -electrons and delocalization of the lone-pair electrons of N1, N3, and N4 atoms has been observed. The intramolecular N–H...O hydrogen bond forms the six-membered ring C₂N₂H...O condensed with the pyrazolone ring. The molecules are connected by intramolecular C–H...O hydrogen bonds.     

Supramolecular structure of tetrakis-μ-(4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoato)-bis(methanol)dicopper(II)

The title compound, [Cu₂(II)(4-Cl-3-NO₂–C₆H₃CO₂)₄(CH₃OH)₂] or [Cu₂(4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoate)₄(MeOH)₂] has been prepared and its structure determined using X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 9.6887(9)Å, b = 10.6448(9)Å, c = 11.4194(10)Å, = 108.094(2), = 110.682(2), = 105.055(2), V = 952.691(15)ų, and Z = 1. The structure consists of centrosymmetric dimers in which the Cu(II) atoms display a square pyramidal CuO₅ coordination, with four carboxylate O atoms in the basal plane [CuO 1.951(2)–1.968(2)Å] and the methanol O atoms in the apical position [CuO 2.170(2)Å]. The Cu atoms are 2.614(1)Å apart and are bridged by four benzoate groups. The discrete dimers are extended into 1D chains that result from hydrogen bonding between the coordinated methanol on one Cu(II) dimer and the nitro substituent on an adjacent Cu(II) dimer. The chains are interdigited and held by – stacking interactions forming 3D supramolecular array.     

Conformations of barbiturates related to pentobarbitone. IV. Crystal structure of 5-ethyl,5-(1′,3′-dimethylbut-2′-enyl) barbituric acid

Crystals of 5-ethyl,5-(1,3-dimethylbut-2-enyl) barbituric acid (13M2B), mp 139°C, are triclinic, space groupP¯1,Z=2, witha=8.134(2),b=9.210(2),c=9.265(2),=91.91(1),=105.66(2), and =96.83(2)°. The structure was solved by direct methods, and refined by least-squares procedures to giveR=0.065 for 2056 observed diffraction data. The 5-ethyl and the 1,3-dimethylbut-2-enyl groups are both directed over the plane of the barbiturate ring. It is suggested that the conformation of the latter is stabilized by interactions between the isobutenyl group and the delocalized system of the ring.

The four copper atoms of the ring are each bound to a norbornene molecule. [CuBr(norbornene)]₄ crystallizes with an eight membered tub shaped ring of alternating copper and bromine atoms having each copper atom bound to a norbornene molecule via donation of the electrons of the double bond.
