An inorganic–organic hybrid compound [DAMS]₂[CdI₄] (DAMS = 4-dimethyl-amino- styryl-1-methylpyridinium cation) was synthesized via the solvothermal reaction of equimolar CdI₂ and DAMSI^– in a mixture of acetonitrile and H₂O (2:1 in volume ratio) at 130°C. The product was characterized by X-ray single crystal structure analysis. The crystals of the title compound are triclinic, , with a = 12.9849(19) Å, b = 13.1935(13) Å, c = 13.8792(10) Å, = 106.798(6)°, = 109.827(6)°, = 108.206(9)°, V = 1906.0(4) ų, Z = 2. The cadmium atom was bonded to 4 iodine atoms to form a distorted tetrahedron, which was surrounded by DAMS cations. There exist – stacking interaction between the 2 adjacent antiparallelly arrayed DAMS cations.     

Crystal structure of 4-methylpyridinium 2,4-dinitrophenolate

A crystalline salt of 4-methylpyridinium 2,4-dinitrophenolate has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2_1/c with a = 9.105(2), b = 7.617(2), c = 18.424(3) Å, = 90.00, = 101.19(1), = 90.00°, V = 1253.5(5) ų, and Z = 4. In the title salt, the phenolate and pyridinium ion are held by bifurcated hydrogen bonds of N–H···O, and are arranged in an almost coplanar manner to each other due to two sets of CHO hydrogen bonds. The geometrical arrangement in the title salt is characterized by the formation of herringbone motif of 4-methylpyridinium 2,4-dinitrophenolate. The herringbone motif is stablized by CHO hydrogen bonds. The face-to-face interval between the phenolate and pyridinium ring is 3.3094 Å, in a range governed by – interaction.

The ClCl and ClO(=C) interactions form the familiar zig-zag pattern which has been noted for many chloroaromatic compounds.

Each Cd(II) is six-coordinated and the CdN₄O₂ coordination sphere can be considered as an octahedron. The most striking feature of this complex resides in the formation of a 3D network through hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions.

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.

Solid state structure of 4,4,6,6-tetraphenylcyclohex-2-en-1-one

Synchrotron data allowed the crystal structure determination of 4,4,6,6-tetraphenylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (1).

Stable crystalline adducts of 1,6-bis(o-hydroxyanilino)-1,5-hexadiene-3,4-dione withN,N-dimethyl carboxamides and urea derivatives

The red colored and poorly soluble 1,6-bis(o-hydroxyanilino)-1,5-hexadiene-3,4-dione (3f) forms stable adducts5 and7 of exact stoichiometric ratios withN,N-dimethyl carboxamides4 and ureas6. The adducts are yellow colored and easily soluble in organic solvents. The crystal structure of3f (monoclinic space groupP2 ₁/c witha=7.903(2),b=10.941(2),c=8.976(3) Å, =90.13(2)°) indicates planarity with extensive delocalization of the -electrons. The poor solubility is referred to the formation of strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds (H(O)...O3 andH(O)...O3=1.79 Å). The crystal structure of the 12 DMF adduct5a (monoclinic space groupP2 ₁/c witha=6.068(1),b=19.668(2),c=10.645(1) Å, =107.791(8)°) shows a less pronounced delocalization of the -electrons which might be the explanation for the color change from red to yellow. In5a the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of3f are interrupted by forming new hydrogen bonds from the hydroxyl group to the carbonyl group of DMF (H(O)...O(L) andH(O)...O(L)=1.86 Å), whereby the solubility is markedly changed. The thermal stability of the addition products5 and7 was determined by thermogravimetry.     

Crystal structure and low-temperature emission of [(dmp)Cu(μ-S2butphos)2Cu(dmp)][BF4]2·6CH2Cl2 (dmp=2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline; S2butphos=1,4-bis(diphenylphosphinesulfido)butane)

The synthesis and crystal structure of a bimetallic luminescent Cu(I) complex containing 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphinesulfido)butane and the -diimine 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) is described. The coordination geometry about the Cu(I) center is pseudo-tetrahedral.

The complex displays emission from a single metal-centered charge-transfer state at 77 K in a 41 ethanol/methanol (v/v) glass. This is in contrast to the triphenylphosphine complex, which exhibits dual luminescence from a charge-transfer and an intraligand state at 77 K.

Crystal and molecular structure ofN-[2-phenyl-glyoxylohydroximoyl]-pyridinium bromide,C13H11N2O2Br

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₁N₂O₂Br, has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray diffraction data. The crystals are monoclinic,P2₁/c:a=8.3029(9),b=12.798(3),c=12.314(2) Å,=105.94(1)°,Z=4. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined to anR value of 0.044 for 1924 observed reflections. The phenyl ring shows a mean C-C bond length significantly short, 1.375(4) Å; all other bond lengths and angles have normal values, and a -delocalization is evident within the molecule, with the exclusion of the pyridinium. The two rings are in reciprocaltrans-position [=–170.5(2)°], whereas the oxime and the pyridinium are incis-position [=2.0(3)°]. A hydrogen bridge connects the bromide ion and the oxime [Br^–H: 1.91(2) Å] and there are also two short approaches of the bromide ions with carbon atoms, which ensure the crystalline cohesion.
