Hydrolysis of 2‐methylthiazolo[5,4‐b]pyridine resulted in ring opening of the thiazole and formation of 3‐acetamido‐2(1H)‐pyridinethione whose X‐ray crystal structure has been determined.     

Synthesis,X‐ray crystal structure and biological activities of α‐phenoxyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazoleacetamide

The annelation of 1,2,3‐thiadiazole rings was accomplished by the reaction of N‐acylhydrazone 2a bearing an adjacent α‐methyl with thionyl chloride to give α‐chloro‐N‐methyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazole‐4‐acetamide 4 and was demonstrated by the X‐ray crystal structure of its derivative 5a. A novel series of α‐substituted phenoxy‐N‐methyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazole‐4‐acetamide 5 were synthesized through the reaction of the compound 4 and phenols. The results of bioassays show that the title compounds exhibit good anti‐HBV activities. The crystal of compound 5a , N‐methyl‐α‐2‐bromophenyl‐1,2,3‐thiadiazole‐4‐acetamide, has been prepared and determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

Synthesis and X‐ray Structures of the Polycyclic Dimers {[PhB(μ‐NtBu)2AsN(tBu)H]LiI}2 and [PhB(μ‐NtBu)2AsN(tBu)Li]2

The metathesis of [PhB(μ‐NtBu)₂]AsCl and tBuN(H)Li in 1:1 molar ratio in diethyl ether produced the amido derivative [PhB(μ‐NtBu)₂AsN(tBu)H] ( 1 ) in good yield. The lithiation of 1 with one equivalent of nBuLi afforded the lithium salt [PhB(μ‐NtBu)₂AsN(tBu)Li] ( 2a ). Both 1 and 2a were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 2a is comprised of a U‐shaped, centrosymmetric dimer in which the monomeric [PhB(μ‐NtBu)₂AsN(tBu)]^?Li⁺ units are linked by Li‐N interactions to give a six‐rung ladder. Oxidation of 2a with one‐half equivalent of I₂ in diethyl ether resulted in hydrogen abstraction from the solvent to give the dimeric lithium iodide adduct {[PhB(μ‐NtBu)₂AsN(tBu)H]LiI}₂ ( 1 ·LiI) with a central Li₂I₂ ring.     

Luminescence characteristics and X‐ray crystal structure of [Cd(bipy)3][PF6]2 (bipy = 2,2′‐bipyridine)

The photoluminescence characteristics of the [Cd(bipy)₃][PF₆]₂ complex are reported. A moderately large quantum yield (φ) of 1.07 × 10^?2 is exhibited in acetonitrile solution at 298 K. Crystallography shows the dication to have a distorted octahedral geometry and the crystal structure to be stabilized by C? H···π and C? H···F interactions.

Synthesis,spectroscopic and X‐ray single‐crystal structure study of bis(2‐methoxy‐ethanolato)‐bis(8‐quinolinato)titanium(IV)

Reaction of Ti(OCH₂CH₂OR)₄ (R?CH₃ and C₂H₅) with 8‐hydroxyquinoline in benzene at room temperature resulted in the formation of Ti(C₉H₆NO)₂(OCH₂CH₂OR)₂, characterized by IR, ¹H‐NMR, UV and mass spectroscopies. The molecular structure of Ti(C₉H₆NO)₂(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂ has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. The geometry at titanium is a distorted octahedron, with the nitrogen atoms of quinolinate occupying the trans position with respect to oxygens of the 2‐methoxyethoxy groups. The prepared quinolinate derivatives of titanium alkoxides are very stable towards hydrolysis and harsh conditions are required for hydrolytic cleavage. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

γ‐Alumina: a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study

The structure of γ‐alumina (Al_21+1/3□_2+2/3O₃₂) crystals obtained as a product of a corrosion reaction between β‐sialon and steel was refined in the space group Fdm. The oxygen sublattice is fully occupied. The refined occupancy parameters are 0.83 (3), 0.818 (13), 0.066 (14) and 0.044 (18) for Al ions in 8a, 16d, 16c and 48f positions, respectively. The Al ions are distributed over octa­hedral and tetra­hedral sites in a 63:37 ratio, with 6% of all Al ions occupying non‐spinel positions.     

X‐ray crystal structure,NMR parameters,and conformational study of α‐aminopropanephosphonic acid

X‐ray structural data for α‐aminopropanephosphonic acid (APPA), together with ¹H NMR spectroscopy including PANIC and WIN‐DAISY spectral simulation, and theoretical calculations using the programs VAMP 4.4 (PM3) and GAUSSIAN 92 (3–21G**), confirm an antistaggered relationship between the methyl and phosphonic acid groups in this zwitterionic compound, both in the solid state and in aqueous solution. ³¹P{¹H} and ¹³C{¹H}‐NMR controlled titrations provide information on pK_a values, proton exchange, ion‐specific chemical shifts, and coupling constants in solution. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of polyimides derived from (3‐amino‐2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)‐(3′‐aminophenyl)methanone and aromatic dianhydrides

A series of new polyimides were prepared via the polycondensation of (3‐amino‐2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)‐(3′‐aminophenyl)methanone and aromatic dianhydrides, that is, 3,3′,4,4′‐biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), 4,4′‐oxydiphthalic anhydride, 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride, and 2,2′‐bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride. The structures of the polyimides were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and NMR measurements. The properties were evaluated by solubility tests, ultraviolet–visible analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The two different meta‐position‐located amino groups with respect to the carbonyl bridge in the diamine monomer provided it with an unsymmetrical structure. This led to a restriction on the close packing of the resulting polymer chains and reduced interchain interactions, which contributed to the solubility increase. All the polyimides except that derived from BPDA had good solubility in strong aprotic solvents, such as N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone, N,N′‐dimethylacetamide, N,N‐dimethylformamide, and dimethyl sulfone, and in common organic solvents, such as cyclohexanone and chloroform. In addition, these polyimides exhibited high glass‐transition values and excellent thermal properties, with an initial thermal decomposition temperature above 470 °C and glass‐transition temperatures in the range of 280–320 °C. The polyimide films also exhibited good transparency in the visible‐light region, with transmittance higher than 80% at 450 nm and a cutoff wavelength lower than 370 nm. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Force constant decomposition for penta‐coordinated XH3Cl2‐ (X = C,Si, Ge) structures

Based on the energy decomposition analysis of an interacting system, we propose a method for force constant decomposition analysis with respect to the specific normal coordinate. Using the presented method, we examined the penta‐coordinated system (X = C, Si, Ge), which possesses a three‐center four‐electron bond. The origin of the difference in the stability of the penta‐coordinated D_3h structures was clearly shown to be the effect of electron delocalization–polarization term. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

π‐Stacking Modulates the Luminescence of [(dppz)Ni(Mes)Br] (dppz = dipyrido[3,2‐a:2′,3′‐c]phenazine,Mes = 2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)

The red colour of the novel organonickel complex [(dppz)Ni(Mes)Br] (dppz = dipyrido[3,2‐a:2′,3′‐c]phenazine, Mes = 2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl) originates from long‐wavelength MLCT/L′LCT charge transfer bands. However, luminescence in dilute solution comes presumably from the ³π‐π* (phenazine) excited state. The red‐shifted emission exhibited in concentrated solutions is assigned to dimers. In the solid state emission is quenched. The crystal structure reveals two different types of π‐π stacking along the crystallographic a axis.     

Chlorotris(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)tin(IV) and its ethanol hemisolvate

Chloro­tris(2,4,6‐tri­methyl­phenyl)­tin(IV), crystallizes from ethanol as solvent‐free needles, [Sn(C₉H₁₁)₃Cl], (I), and as the hemisolvate, [Sn(C₉H₁₁)₃Cl]·0.5C₂H₆O, (II). The asymmetric unit in (I) has three independent mol­ecules, whereas in (II), there are two [Sn(C₉H₁₁)₃Cl] mol­ecules together with one ethanol molecule. In the unit cell of (II), the ethanol mol­ecules lie in channels between stacks of (Mes)₃SnCl mol­ecules (Mes is 2,4,6‐tri­methyl­phenyl) and each ethanol mol­ecule is disordered (0.50:0.50) over two positions. A comparison of the structures of the title compounds and other (Mes)₃SnX (X = F, Br or I) systems with those of the tri­phenyl­tin analogues shows that the steric requirements of the o‐CH₃ groups are met by a flattening of the SnC₃ skeleton and increases in the average Sn—X and Sn—C values. Comparing Sn—X data for (Mes)₃SnX (X = F, Cl, Br or I) systems with values for the tris(o‐methoxy­phenyl)­tin analogues suggests that the Sn—F distance of 1.961 Å in (Mes)₃SnF may well be characteristic of sterically unhindered four‐coordinate Ar₃SnF systems.     

(2‐Aminopyrimidine‐κN1)aqua(pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylato‐κ3O2,N,O6)copper(II): X‐ray and DFT calculated structure

In the title compound, [Cu(C₇H₃N₂O₄)(C₄H₅N₂)(H₂O)], (I), pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylate (pydc²⁻), 2‐aminopyrimidine and aqua ligands coordinate the Cu^II centre through two N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and one water O atom, respectively, to give a nominally distorted square‐pyramidal coordination geometry, a common arrangement for copper complexes containing the pydc²⁻ ligand. Because of the presence of Cu...X_bridged contacts (X = N or O) between adjacent molecules in the crystal structures of (I) and three analogous previously reported compounds, and the corresponding uncertainty about the effective coordination number of the Cu^II centre, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to elucidate the degree of covalency in these contacts. The calculated Wiberg and Mayer bond‐order indices reveal that the Cu...O contact can be considered as a coordination bond, whereas the amine group forming a Cu...N contact is not an effective participant in the coordination environment.     

trans‐[1,3‐Bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)imidazolidin‐2‐ylidene]dichlorido(triphenylphosphine‐κP)palladium(II)

The title complex, [PdCl₂(C₂₁H₂₆N₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], shows slightly distorted square‐planar coordination around the Pd^II metal centre. The Pd—C bond distance between the N‐heterocyclic ligand and the metal atom is 2.028 (5) Å. The dihedral angle between the two trimethylphenyl ring planes is 36.9 (2)°.     

Die Reaktionen von tBu2P–P=P(Me)tBu2 und (Me3Si)tBuP–P=P(Me)tBu2 mit PR3

The Reactions of ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ and (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ with PR₃ ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ ( 1 ) reacts at 20 °C with PMe₃, PEt₃, P(c‐Hex)₃, P(p‐Tol)₃, PPh₂Me, PPh₂Et, PPhEt₂, PPh₂ⁱPr, PPh₃ and P(NEt₂)₃ yielding ^tBu₂P–P=PR₃ and ^tBu₂PMe; however, P^tBu₃, P^tBu₂(SiMe₃) and ^tBu₂PCl don't. ^tBu₂PH and 1 form ^tBu₂P–PH–P^tBu₂ which yields ^tBu₂P–P=PEt₃ when treated with PEt₃. Ph₂PH, ^tBuPH₂, PH₃, Ph₂PCl and EtOH don't substitute the ^tBu₂PMe group in 1 , instead, the molecule is decomposed. With PEt₃, (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ forms (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=PEt₃. The compounds ^tBu₂P–P=PR₃ decompose at 20 °C to different degrees giving P‐rich consecutive products of the phosphinophosphinidene.     

Über Bildung und Reaktionen der CH2Li‐Derivate von tBu2P–P=P(CH3)tBu2 und (Me3Si)tBuP–P=P(CH3)tBu2

Formation and Reactions of the CH₂Li‐Derivatives of ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ and (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ With ⁿBuLi, (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 1 ) and ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 2 ) yield (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₂Li)^tBu₂ ( 3 ) and ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₂Li)^tBu₂ ( 4 ), wich react with Me₃SiCl to give (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₂–SiMe₃)^tBu₂ ( 5 ) and ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₂–SiMe₃)^tBu₂ ( 6 ), respectively. With ^tBu₂P–P(SiMe₃)–P^tBuCl ( 7 ), compound 3 forms 5 as well as the cyclic products [H₂C–P(^tBu)₂=P–P(^tBu)–P^tBu] ( 8 ) and [H₂C–P(^tBu)₂=P–P(P^tBu₂)–P(^tBu)] ( 9 ). Also 3 forms 8 with ^tBuPCl₂. The cleavage of the Me₃Si–P‐bond in 1 by means of C₂Cl₆ or N‐bromo‐succinimide yields (Cl)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 10 ) or (Br)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 11 ), resp. With LiP(SiMe₃)₂, 10 forms (Me₃Si)₂P–P(^tBu)–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 12 ), and Et₂P–P(^tBu)–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 13 ) with LiPEt₂. All compounds are characterized by ³¹P NMR Data and mass spectra; the ylide 5 and the THF adduct of 4 additionally by X‐ray structure analyses.     

N‐phosphorylated 3,5‐bis(arylidene)4‐piperidones: Synthesis,X‐ray structure,and evaluation of antitumor activity

In a search for cytotoxic fluorescent materials, a series of N‐phosphorylated compounds 2a–c were prepared by phosphorylation of 3,5‐bis(4‐N,N‐dimethylbenzylidene)‐4‐piperidone 1 . According to X‐ray investigations, molecule 2a is E,E‐isomer with axial position of the P(O)(OCH₂CF₃)₂ substituent. Fluorescence of compounds 2a–c was found to be similar to fluorescence of nonphosphorylated compound 1 . The cytotoxicity of the compounds 2a–c was estimated on several human tumor cell lines (H9, K562, and MCF7). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis,characterization, X‐ray crystal structure and in vitro antitumour activity of sodium bis(2‐(3′,6′,9′‐trioxadecyl)‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane‐1‐carboxylato)triphenylstannate

Sodium bis[2‐(3′,6′,9′‐trioxadecyl)‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane‐1‐carboxylato]triphenylstannate, [(CH₃OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂)‐1,2‐C₂B₁₀H₁₀‐9‐COO)₂SnPh₃]^? Na⁺, compound 1, was synthesized by the 1:1 condensation of triphenyltin(IV) hydroxide with 2‐(3′,6′,9′‐trioxadecyl)‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane‐1‐carboxylic acid and crystallized in the presence of sodium bicarbonate. Its structure was determined by spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X‐ray diffraction. The structure of 1 consists of trigonal bipyramidal [Sn(Ph)₃(L)₂]^? anions and Na⁺ cations coordinated by oxygen atoms of polyoxaalkyl chains of different stannate anions, forming cation–anion chains elongated along the c axis. Compound 1 is significantly more active in vitro against seven tumour cell lines of human origin than 5‐fluorouracil, cis‐platin, carboplatin, and previously reported organotin carboranecarboxylates, but is less active than organotin polyoxaalkylcarboxylates.

Zur Bildung und Struktur der Phosphinophosphiniden-phosphorane tBu2P?PP(Me)tBu2 1, tBu(Me3Si)P?PP(Me)tBu2 2 und tBu2P?PP(Br)tBu2 3

Synthesis and Structure of Phosphinophosphinidene-phosphoranes tBu₂P? P?P(Me)tBu₂ 1, tBu(Me₃Si)P? P?P(Me)tBu₂ 2, and tBu₂P? P?P(Br)tBu₂ 3 A new method for the synthesis of 1 and 2 (Formulae see ?Inhaltsübersicht”?) is reported based on the reaction of 5 with substitution reagents (Me₂SO₄ or CH₃Cl). The results of the X-ray structure determination of 1 and 2 are given and compared with those of 3 . While in 3 one P? P distance corresponds to a double bond and the other P? P distance to a single bond (difference 12.5 pm) the differences of the P? P distances in 1 and 2 are much smaller: 5.28 pm in 1 , 4.68 pm in 2 . Both 1 and 2 crystallize monoclinic in the space group P2₁/n (Z = 4). 2 additionally contains two disordered molecules of the solvent pentane in the unit cell. Parameters of 1 : a = 884.32(8) pm, b = 1 924.67(25) pm, c = 1 277.07(13) pm, β = 100.816(8)°, and of 2 : a = 1 101.93(12) pm, b = 1 712.46(18) pm, c = 1 395.81(12) pm, β = 111.159(7)°, all data collected at 143 K. The skeleton of the three P atoms is bent (PPP angle 100.95° for 1 , 100.29° for 2 and 105.77° for 3 ). Ab initio SCF calculations are used to discuss the bonding situation in the molecular skeleton of the three P atoms of 1 and 3 . The results show a significant contribution of the ionic structure R₂P? P(^?)? P(⁺)(X)R₂. The structure with (partially) charged P atoms is stabilized by bulky polarizable groups R (as tBu) as compared to the fully covalent structure R₂P? P(X)? PR₂.     

(E)‐Methyl 2‐[(2‐fluorophenyl)aminomethylene]‐3‐oxobutanoate: X‐ray and density functional theory (DFT) study

The title compound, C₁₂H₁₂FNO₃, a potential precursor for fluoroquinoline synthesis, is essentially planar, with the most outlying atoms displaced from the best‐plane fit through all non‐H atoms by 0.163 (2) and 0.118 (2) Å. Molecules are arranged in layers oriented parallel to the (011) plane. The arrangement of the molecules in the structure is controlled mainly by electrostatic interactions, as the dipole moment of the molecule is 5.2 D. In addition, the molecules are linked by a weak C—H...O hydrogen bond which gives rise to chains with the base vector [1,1,1]. Electron transfer within the molecule is analysed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Deviations from the ideal molecular geometry are explained by the concept of non‐equivalent hybrid orbitals.     

β‐Diketiminate Stabilized Magnesium Hydroxide,Heterobimetallic, and Halide Complexes: Synthesis and X‐ray Structural Studies

The controlled hydrolysis of heteroleptic magnesium amide, LMgN(SiMe₃)₂ (L = CH[C(Me)N(2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃)]₂) with water afforded the corresponding hydroxide [LMg(OH)·THF]₂ as air and moisture sensitive compound. The presence of a sterically bulky β‐diketiminate ligand prevents the self‐condensation reaction of this hydroxide complex. Single crystal X‐ray analysis shows that the hydroxide is dimeric in the solid state. Reaction of the magnesium amide or LMg(Me)·OEt₂ with LAlMe(OH) generates the heterobimetallic species containing the Mg–O–Al moiety. Additionally, the reaction of methylmagnesiumchloride with the free ligand leads to complex L′MgCl (L′ = CH[Et₂NCH₂CH₂N(CMe)]₂). As revealed by the crystal structure, L′MgCl is a solvent free monomeric magnesium chloride complex that is analogues to the Grignard reagent.
