Crystal Structures of [BeCl₂(HNPPh₃)₂], [BeCl(HNPPh₃)₂(Py)]Cl, and [Be₃Cl₂(NPPh₃)₄] Tetraphenylphosphonium hexachlorodiberyllate, (Ph₄P)₂[Be₂Cl₆], reacts with lithium phosphoraneiminate, [LiNPPh₃]₆, in dichloromethane to give the three‐nuclear beryllium phosphoraneiminate [Be₃Cl₂(NPPh₃)₄] ( 3 ). As a by‐product the phosphaneimine complex [BeCl₂(HNPPh₃)₂] ( 1 ) can be isolated, which reacts with pyridine to give the ionic complex [BeCl(HNPPh₃)₂(Py)]Cl ( 2 ).

Addition of various amines to the 3,3‐bis(trifluoromethyl)acrylamides 10a and 10b gave the tripeptides 11a – 11f , mostly as mixtures of epimers (Scheme 3). The crystalline tripeptide 11f ₂ was found to be the N‐terminal (2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐substituted (R,S,S)‐ester HOCH₂CH₂O‐D ‐Val(F₆)‐MeLeu‐Ala‐O^tBu by X‐ray crystallography. The C‐terminal‐protected tripeptide 11f ₂ was condensed with the N‐terminus octapeptide 2b to the depsipeptide 12a which was thermally rearranged to the undecapeptide 13a (Scheme 4). The condensation of the epimeric tripeptide 11f ₁ with the octapeptide 2b gave the undecapeptide 13b directly. The undecapeptides 13a and 13b were fully deprotected and cyclized to the [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐D ‐valine]]‐ and [5‐[4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐hexafluoro‐N‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐L ‐valine]]cyclosporins 14a and 14b , respectively (Scheme 5). Rate differences observed for the thermal rearrangements of 12a to 13a and of 12b to 13b are discussed.

The cation is located on a twofold symmetry axis running through both Ni atoms. The dmaeoxd²⁻ ligands inter­act with each other via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions, which results in an extended chain along the c axis.

N‐Germyl derivatives of sulfacetamide and ortho‐(sulfonamido)phenylamines: characterization of N‐[o‐(N′,N′‐dimethylsulfonamido)phenyl]‐N‐dimesitylgermaimine

Triethylgermylation of sulfacetamide occurs on the sulfonamido nitrogen in competition with the 1,2 addition of the starting triethylgermyl dimethylamine on the carbonyl group. Thermal decomposition in the presence of dimethylamine yields N‐triethylgermylsulfanilamide. Stable 1:1 sulfacetamide–DBU and 1:1 sulfacetamide–Et₃N complexes were isolated and fully characterized in the course of dehydrochlorination reactions. o‐Sulfonamidophenylamine yields N,N′‐bis‐triethylgermylated derivatives, whereas o‐(N,N‐dimethylsulfonamido)phenylamine leads to monogermylated compounds. The N‐dimethylaminodimesitylgermyl derivative is thermally stable. Dehydrohalogenation of the N‐dimesitylfluorogermyl compound leads to the thermally stable but water sensitive N‐[o‐(N′,N′‐dimethylsulfonamido)phenyl]‐N‐dimesitylgermaimine.

A Copper(II) Ion‐Selective Potentiometric Sensor Based on N,N′,N″,N′′′‐Tetrakis(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane in PVC Matrix

The simple PVC‐based membrane containing N,N′,N″,N′′′‐tetrakis(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc) as an ionophore and dibutyl phthalate as a plasticizer, directly coated on a glassy carbon electrode was examined as a new sensor for Cu²⁺ ions.

Bis[(dihydrogen pyrophosphato‐κ2O,O′)(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐κ3N,N′,N′′)copper(II)] 4.5‐hydrate

The title copper complex, [Cu(H₂P₂O₇)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)]₂·4.5H₂O, consists of two very similar independent Cu(Tpy)H₂P₂O₇ monomeric units (Tpy is 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine) plus four and a half water molecules of hydration, some of which are disordered. Tpy units bind through the usual triple bite via their N atoms, and the H₂P₂O₇²⁻ anions coordinate through two O atoms from two different phosphate units. Each independent CuN₃O₂ chromophore can be described as a slightly deformed square pyramid, with one of them having a sixth, semicoordinated, O atom from a centrosymmetrically related CuN₃O₂ unit in a weakly bound second apical position suggesting an octahedral environment for the cation and weak dimerization of the molecule. The two independent complex molecules are connected via two strong O—H...O interactions between the phosphate groups to form hydrogen‐bonded dinuclear units, further linked into [111] columns, resulting in a very complex three‐dimensional supramolecular structure through a variety of classical and nonclassical hydrogen bonds, as well as π–π interactions.     

Masking of Lewis acidity trends in the solid‐state structures of trichlorido‐ and tribromido(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐κ3N,N′,N′′)gallium(III)

The molecular structures of trichlorido(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐κ³N,N′,N′′)gallium(III), [GaCl₃(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)], and tribromido(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐κ³N,N′,N′′)gallium(III), [GaBr₃(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)], are isostructural, with the Ga^III atom displaying an octahedral geometry. It is shown that the Ga—N distances in the two complexes are the same within experimental error, in contrast to expected bond lengthening in the bromide complex due to the lower Lewis acidity of GaBr₃. Thus, masking of the Lewis acidity trends in the solid state is observed not only for complexes of group 13 metal halides with monodentate ligands but for complexes with the polydentate 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine donor as well.     

Different nucleobase orientations in two cyclic 2′,3′‐phosphates of purine ribonucleosides: Et3NH(2′,3′‐cAMP) and Et3NH(2′,3′‐cGMP)·H2O

The crystal structures of triethyl­ammonium adenosine cyclic 2′,3′‐phosphate {systematic name: triethyl­ammonium 4‐(6‐amino­purin‐9‐yl)‐6‐hydroxy­methyl‐2‐oxido‐2‐oxoperhydro­furano[3,4‐c][1,3,2]dioxaphosphole}, Et₃NH(2′,3′‐cAMP) or C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₁₀H₁₁N₅O₆P⁻, (I), and guanosine cyclic 2′,3′‐phosphate monohydrate {systematic name: triethyl­ammonium 6‐hydroxy­methyl‐2‐oxido‐2‐oxo‐4‐(6‐oxo‐1,6‐dihydro­purin‐9‐yl)perhydro­furano[3,4‐c][1,3,2]dioxaphosphole monohydrate}, [Et₃NH(2′,3′‐cGMP)]·H₂O or C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₁₀H₁₁N₅O₇P⁻·H₂O, (II), reveal different nucleobase orientations, viz. anti in (I) and syn in (II). These are stabilized by different inter‐ and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. The structures also exhibit different ribose ring puckering [₄E in (I) and ³T₂ in (II)] and slightly different 1,3,2‐dioxaphospho­lane ring conformations, viz. envelope in (I) and puckered in (II). Infinite ribbons of 2′,3′‐cAMP⁻ and helical chains of 2′,3′‐cGMP⁻ ions, both formed by O—H⋯O, N—H⋯X and C—H⋯X (X = O or N) hydrogen‐bond contacts, characterize (I) and (II), respectively.
