Tris(1,10‐phenanthroline)sodium 2,4,6‐trimercapto‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ide

The title compound, [Na(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃](C₃H₂N₃S₃), contains an Na⁺ centre which is ionicly bonded to three 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) ligands and one tri­thio­cyanurate(1−) (ttcH₂) anion. In the crystal structure, the anions are linked via hydrogen bonds to form linear chains. The S and H atoms of the ttcH₂ anion participate in intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonding, with N⋯S distances of 3.298 (2) and 3.336 (2) Å. The phen ligands are almost parallel, with dihedral angles of 3.92 (5), 11.75 (5) and 15.45 (5)°; moreover, they are nearly perpendicular to the ttcH₂ chains, with angles of 81.94 (7), 85.86 (7) and 85.96 (7)°.     

Synthesis and Supramolecular Assemblies of Tripodal 1,3,5‐Tris(phenoxymethyl)‐2,4,6‐triethylbenzene Analogues

Tripodal 1,3,5‐tris(phenoxymethyl)‐2,4,6‐triethylbenzene analogues have been synthesized and structurally characterized by IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and HRMS, and additionally, the single crystal structures of compounds bearing ortho‐ ( 7 ), meta‐ ( 9 ) and para‐hydroxymethyl ( 11 ) functions have been determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The structural study revealed that compounds 7 , 9 , and 11 do not adopt the expected 1,3,5‐alternate conformation in the solid state. The packing diagrams of compounds 7 , 9 , and 11 revealed that six hydrophilic hydroxymethyl groups from six individual molecules ( 7 , 9 and 11 ) were arranged in close contact via intermolecular hydrogen‐bond interactions. For compounds 7 and 9 , the six hydroxyl groups formed a distorted hexagonal ring; however, formation of such a hexagonal ring was not clear in the case of compound 11 . Compounds 9 and 11 were found to form hydrophobic cavities via intermolecular hydrogen‐bond interactions in the solid state, and the cavities were occupied by two ethyl groups from the two cavity‐forming molecules.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Luminescence Properties of Four Coordination Polymers Based on 1,3,5‐Tris (imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene

Based on the tripodal 1,3,5‐tris(imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene (tib) ligand, four transition metal coordination polymers, namely, {[Ni₃(tib)₂(H₂O)₁₂] · (SO₄)₃}_n ( 1 ), {[Co_1/6(tib)_1/3] · (O)_1/3}_n ( 2 ), and [M(tib)(hip)]_n (M = Mn for 3 , and M = Co for 4 ) (hip = 5‐hydroxyisophthalic acid), were synthesized through solvothermal method. Their structures were defined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses (EA), IR spectra, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Complex 1 displays a 2D 3‐connected (6³) hcb net. Complex 2 is a 2D (3,6)‐connected (4³)₂(4⁶.6⁶.8³) kgm net. Complex 3 and 4 present similar 2D 4‐connected (4⁴.6²) sql net. Moreover, the solid state luminescence properties of complexes 1 and 3 were investigated.

[Tris(4‐tolyl)­methyl]­benzene

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₈H₂₆, in the monoclinic space group C2/c has a columnar packing arrangement with a 7.20 Å axis, a feature common to several tetra­phenyl­methanes.     

1,3,5‐Tris­(chloro­methyl)­benzene

The title compound, C₉H₉Cl₃, is being used as a platform for new tripodal receptors. Two mol­ecules make up the asymmetric unit; weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between methyl­ene H atoms and the chlorine of an adjacent mol­ecule. There are also C—H?π interactions.     

Synthesis of some symmetrically substituted compounds derived from 1,3‐bis(6‐azauracil‐1‐yl)benzene and 1,3,5‐tris(6‐azauracil‐1‐yl)benzene

The 3,5‐bis(5‐carboxy‐6‐azauracil‐1‐yl)aniline ( 7 ) and 1,3,5‐tris(5‐carboxy‐6‐azauracil‐1‐yl)benzene ( 10 ) were prepared from 3‐amino‐5‐nitroacetanilide ( 1 ) via intermediates 2–6 . A series of other substituted 6‐azauracil derivatives 9, 11‐14 were also prepared.     

Macroscopic Chirality of Supramolecular Gels Formed from Achiral Tris(ethyl cinnamate) Benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxamides

A C₃‐symmetric benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxamide substituted with ethyl cinnamate was found to self‐assemble into supramolecular gels with macroscopic chirality in a DMF/H₂O mixture. The achiral compound simultaneously formed left‐ and right‐handed twists in an unequal number, thus resulting in the macroscopic chirality of the gels without any chiral additives. Furthermore, ester–amide exchange reactions with chiral amines enabled the control of both the handedness of the twists and the macroscopic chirality of the gels, depending on the structures of the chiral amines. These results provide new prospects for understanding and regulating symmetry breaking in assemblies of supramolecular gels formed from achiral molecular building blocks.     

A supramolecular hydrogen‐bonded complex between 1,3,5‐tris(diisobutylhydroxysilyl)benzene and trans‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethylene

The trisilanol 1,3,5‐(HOi‐Bu₂Si)₃C₆H₃ ( 7 ), prepared in three steps from 1,3,5‐tribromobenzene via the intermediates 1,3,5‐(Hi‐Bu₂Si)₃C₆H₃ ( 8 ) and 1,3,5‐(Cli‐Bu₂Si)₃C₆H₃ ( 9 ) forms an equimolar complex with trans‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethylene (bpe), 7 ·bpe, whose structure was investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The hydrogen‐bonded network features a number of SiO? H(H)Si and SiO? H hydrogen bridges. Evidence was found for cooperative strengthening within the sequential hydrogen bonds.

Structure and cytotoxicity of zinc (II) and cobalt (II) complexes based on 1,3,5‐tris(1‐imidazolyl) benzene

Three novel complexes, [Zn (tib)₂·(H₂O)₂]·(NO₃)₂ ( 1 ), [Co (tib)₂]·2NO₃ ( 2 ) and [Co₂(tib)₂(btc)]·H₂O ( 3 ) [H₄btc = 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylic acid; H₂tib = 1,3,5‐tris(1‐imidazolyl)benzene], were synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray, IR and elemental analysis. The interaction of these complexes with FS‐DNA (fish sperm DNA) was monitored, and binding constants were determined using UV/Vis, which revealed that they have the ability to bind to FS‐DNA. DNA‐binding constants (K) for the three complexes were 2.2 × 10⁴ m ^?1, 0.7 × 10⁴ m ^?1 and 0.09 × 10⁴ m ^?1, respectively. The interaction capacity of the complexes with FS‐DNA has been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Stern–Volmer quenching plot values for complexes 1 , 2 and 3 were 0.3784, 0.1028 and 0.076, respectively. The viscosity measurement suggested that complexes 1 , 2 and 3 interact with DNA in an intercalation mode. In addition, anti‐cancer activities of these complexes investigated through MTT assays in vitro indicated that the complexes showed good cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines. Cytotoxic activity of test complexes against two different cancer cell lines (HeLa and KB cells) showed significant cancer cell inhibition rates. Flow cytometry experiments and morphological apoptosis studies showed that the complexes induced apoptosis of HeLa tumor cell lines. Finally, a further molecular docking technique was employed to confirm the binding of the complexes toward the molecular target DNA.

Tris(2‐methylphenyl)phosphonium tetrachloroborate

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₂P⁺·BCl₄^?, is the first structurally characterized example of the [HP(o‐tolyl)₃]⁺ cation, presented here with BCl₄^? as the counter‐ion.

trans‐1,2,3‐Tris(1‐hydroxycyclo­propyl)cyclopropane

The central three‐membered ring in the title compound, trans‐1,1′,1′′‐cyclo­propane‐1,2,3‐triyl­tris­(cyclo­propanol), C₁₂H₁₈O₃, shows pronounced asymmetry of the bond lengths, which is induced by the different orientations of the substituents. A network of hydrogen bonds links the mol­ecules into sheets.     

The chemistry of the highly reactive 2,6‐bis(bromomethyl)‐4‐pyrone

Under basic conditions 2,6‐bis(bromomethyl)‐4‐pyrone 8 reacts with tetraethylene glycol to yield the unexpected macrocycle 9 , which is related to the antibiotic Kjellmanianone 10 . We propose that this ring transformation proceeds via the cyclopropyl intermediate d (Scheme 2), which undergoes a ring opening reaction comparable to the Favorskii rearrangement. Also, 8 reacts with methanol/sodium methoxide to yield the 3(2H)‐furanone derivative 11 , the formation of which is suggested to proceed via the intermediate k with a carbenium‐oxonium‐ion subunit (Scheme 3). The structure of the 3(2H)‐furanone derivative was confirmed by X‐ray analysis.     

1,2,4,5‐Tetrakis(diazidomethyl)benzene

The molecule of the title compound, C₁₀H₆N₂₄, lies on a crystallographic inversion centre located in the middle of the benzene ring. Steric overcrowding by the bulky N₃ groups is avoided by the tendency of four azide entities to be arranged parallel to the benzene ring and the other four azide groups to be arranged alternately above and below the benzene plane in a skeletal C_i symmetry. The compound is of interest for high‐energy research and as a precursor for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes, nanospheres or high‐nitrogen carbon nitrides with great potential for biological and technological applications.
