The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 11.7247(12), b = 20.134(2), c = 17.7376(18) Å and = 103.743(2). The complex has two heteroleptic zinc(II) centers exhibiting similar distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries with the third homoleptic zinc(II) center displaying a flattened tetrahedral geometry. 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.     

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

Crystals oftrans-5-ethyl-5-(1,3-dimethylbut-1-enyl) barbituric acid (13M1TB), mp 183° C, are triclinic witha = 7.677(2),b = 10.393(3),c = 9.176(3) Å, = 104.331(1), = 106.919(1), = 96.494(1)°, space group P, with two molecules in the unit cell. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares procedures toR = 0.050 for 2809 observed diffraction maxima. The 5-ethyl group is oriented under the barbiturate ring with the orientation of the but-1-enyl group directed away from the ring. This orientation is determined by the 1-methyl substituent. The molecules are linked together by N-H ... O=C hydrogen bonds across inversion centers, thus forming single ribbons alongb. Adjacent ribbons are held together in theac plane by van der Waals interactions between alternating ethyl and l,3-dimethylbut-l-enyl groups.

The bis(2,6-(2,6-diisoproylanil)diformyl-4-chloro-phenolate) nickel(II) adapts an ideal parallelogram, in which the Ni atom is coordinated with two phenolic oxygen atoms [O(1), O(1A)] and two imino nitrogen atoms [N(1), N(1A)].

Choline sodium 4-amino-1-β-d-ribofuranosyl-2-(1H)-pyrimidionone diphosphate tetrahydrate (Sodium cytidine diphosphocholine,C14H33N4NaO15P2)

This communication presents a preliminary report on the crystal structure of this important nucleotide, involved in lecithin synthesis in animal tissues. The crystallographic data were recorded using a four-circle diffractometer with Cu-K x-radiation. Crystal data: orthorhombic, space groupP2₁2₁2₁ (No. 19),Z = 4,a = 6.98 pm,b = 123.6 pm,c = 292.3 pm,U = 2.522 nm³. The structure was solved by means of a Patterson and electron-density maps and refined by several cycles of least-squares using isotropic temperature factors toR = 0.14.The torsion angles associated with the furanosyl ring are, in general, at the very extreme of the range commonly observed for C(2) endopuckering (Altona and Sundaralingam, 1972); their values are 1 = 319 °, 2 = 47 °, 3 = 326 °, 4 = 13 °, 5 = 18 °. The phase angle of pseudorotation, calculated from these values using the formula given by Altona and Sundaralingam (1972) is 139 °. This shows the ribose ring to be slightly nearer to the C(1) exopuckering than the C(2) endopuckering conformation, but remote from being a C(3) endo-conformer. The sugar ring, in fact, is very close to being an idealized twist conformer. This is supported by a four-atom least-squares planes study, and is consistent with the high value of 237 ° (Sundaralingam, 1973).Backbone torsion angles associated with the structure are = 57 °, = 133 °, = 174 °, and = 291 °. is some 7 ° less than the preferred minimum value for C(2) endopuckering.     

Conformations of barbiturates related to pentobarbitone. III. Crystal structure of 5-ethyl-5-(3′-methylbut-2′-enyl) barbituric acid

Crystals of 5-ethyl-5-(3-methylbut-2-enyi) barbituric acid, mp 154° C, are monoclinic, space groupP2₁/c witha = 11.590(3) Å,b = 22.188(10),c = 10.195(4), = 108.949(1)°, and Z = 8. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and Fourier and difference-Fourier techniques, and refined by block least-squares procedure toR = 0.071 for 2983 observed data. Of the two molecules in the asymmetric unit, one is disordered and has been explained in terms of three different conformations of the 3-methylbut-2-enyl group. The molecules form ribbonlike structures, held together by N-H ... O=C hydrogen bonds. These ribbons are held together to form bilayers of barbiturate rings by van der Waals interactions between the 5-ethyl groups, with the bilayers held together by van der Waals interactions between the 5-(3-methylbut-2-enyl) groups.

Both the phenyl rings are planar in all the molecules and orient at angles of 75.5(1)°, 62.2(1)°, and 53.9(2)°, respectively with each other. The bond angles around N atom show the sp³ character. Inter- and intramolecular O–HN and O–HO types of hydrogen bondings stabilize the molecules in the unit cell in addition to van der Waals forces.

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.     

Anticancer agent development. 5. X-ray structure and1H nmr spectral analysis of (1α,2α,5α,6α)-2,6-bis(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-4,8-dione

Least-squares refinement of 1035 observed [F_o5(F_o)] reflections led to the final agreement index ofR=0.074. The molecule resides on a crystallographic center of inversion and is disordered into two different conformations. This manifests itself as a 50/50 disorder at O(4), C(2), and C(3). The observed structure reveals acis relationship between the bridgehead hydrogen atoms and the aryl rings. The 90 MHz¹H nmr spectrum of the title compound exhibits an AAXX spin system with a H(1)C(2) to H(1)C(3) and H(1)C(2) to H(1)C(3) coupling constant of 2.8 Hz. Computer spectral simulation and Karplus equation analysis are utilized to illustrate a relaxation of the torsion angles between H(1)C(2) and H(1)C(3), and H(1)C(2) and H(1)C(3) is solution.

A comparison of the coordination preferences of Zn, Co, and Cd(II) with the heteroscorpionate ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis (3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane

Reaction of the Zn, Cd, or Co nitrate salts with the deprotonated ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (L1O^–) in methanol produced the following complexes: [(L1OH)Zn(NO₃)₂] in two isomorphs, a = 40.983(8) Å, b = 9.571(2) Å, c = 15.667(8) Å, = 90, = 106.38(1), = 90, C2/c, and a = 13.027(3) Å, b = 14.781(4) Å, c = 16.107(3) Å, = 90, = 105.30(1), = 90, P2₁/n; [(L1OH)Cd(pz)(NO₃)₂] a = 14.7476(2) Å, b = 13.5411(2) Å, c = 16.7223(2) Å, = 90, = 110.3840(10), = 90, P2₁/c; and [(L1O)Co(pz)(NO₃)] a = 11.4240(2) Å, b = 13.4498(2) Å, c = 13.8056(2) Å, = 105.2080(10), = 105.8130(10), = 112.7470(10), P . The Zn adopts a pseudotetrahedral four-coordinate geometry where the potentially tridentate ligand is actually bidentate with a protonated and uncoordinated phenoxy arm. The Co complex is pseudooctahedral six-coordinate where the phenoxy arm is deprotonated and coordinated. Finally the Cd complex is seven-coordinate but the metal is not coordinated through the phenoxy group that is again protonated.
