Crystal and molecular structure of o-methacryloylaminophenylarsonic acid

The title compound, o-methacryloylaminophenylarsonic acid (o-MAPHA), C₁₀H₁₂AsNO₄, is a monomer used to obtain water-soluble polyelectrolytes. It was obtained from the condensation reaction of o-arsanilic acid and methacryloyl chloride. Crystallization from aqueous ethanol solution yielded colorless prismatic crystals, and one was used for X-ray analysis. The crystal structure was solved using direct methods with a refined R ₁ = 0.0483. The crystal structure belongs to the triclinic system, space group , and the asymmetric unit comprises two molecules of the o-MAPHA acid and one water molecule. Both acid molecules are approximately planar and in both molecules the As atom presents common tetrahedral geometry with two long As–O bonds for hydroxyl groups and one short As–O bond for the oxo groups. The structure of o-arsanilic acid (o-ARSA), C₆H₈AsNO₃, was also determinated using the same methods and compared with the o-arsanilic acid structure previously reported. The crystal structure of the o-arsanilic acid belongs to the monoclinic crystal system and to the P2₁ noncentrosymmetric space group with Z equals two.

Crystal and molecular structure of glutaconic acid

Crystals of Glutaconic acid, C₅O₄H₆, are triclinic, space group P , with the cell dimensions (294 K), a = 4.843(1) Å, b = 10.188(1) Å, c = 12.609(1) Å, = 83.46(1)°, = 80.02(1)°, = 78.71(1)°, V = 598.8(3) ų with D _m = 1.47, D _x = 1.443 gcm ^–3. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure was solved by multi solution techniques with three-dimensional data collected (to the limit of 2_max of 154° for Cu K) on a CAD-4 diffractometer. The crystal structure was refined by full matrix least squares method to a final R value of 0.058 for 1894 reflections (I 2). The two independent molecules are conformationally similar. In both the molecules, the carboxyl ends are trans to each other with respect to the central C=C double bond in the structure. The molecules are self-paired through dimeric type of hydrogen bonding involving the terminal carboxyl groups, characteristic of many dicarboxylic acid structures. The crystal structure is stabilized by a series of O–HO hydrogen bonds of the glutaconic acid dimeric units. Free radicals have been shown to be involved in a number of chemical and biological processes and lipid peroxidation is one such process. Glutaconic acid was chosen as a simple unsaturated model of a fatty acid. When irradiated with X-rays, it was found to form a stable free radical structure. ESR (electron spin resonance) and ENDOR (electron nuclear double resonance) studies were used to characterize the free radical structure and correlate with the X-ray structure. The free radical was found to be HOOC–CH=CH–CH–COOH with the glutaconic acid in the trans conformation. The damage occurs at the -carbon atom (the first carbon of the double bond). The damage consists of a loss of an hydrogen atom. This results in an unpaired electron in the p-orbital delocalized over the three central carbon atoms. The two -proton couplings were resolved in the ENDOR spectrum. ESR spectra show that the two molecules are magnetically similar that is in agreement with the crystal structure that reveals that the two independent molecules are conformationally similar. This is the characteristic type of damage that occurs in lipids when they form free radicals that in turn reacts with oxygen and other compounds and ultimately results in cellular damage.

Crystal and molecular structure of benzylidenemalononitrile

Benzylidenemalononitrile, C₁₀H₆N₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group,P2₁/c;a = 9·385,b = 3·976,c = 22·152 Å, = 93·53 °,V _c = 825·03 ų,D _m = 1·231,D _c = 1·242 g cm^–3,Z= 4. The structure was solved by fitting cojointly an assumed molecular shape to both the near-origin peaks of the sharpened vector map and the distribution in the Harker (U,1/2,W) section, followed by trial-and-error establishment of the coordinates. The structure was then refined by full-matrix least squares, reducingR to 0·090 for data comprising 1412 reflexions (0·086, omitting 373 unobserved) from room temperature CuK Weissenberg photographs. Steric hindrance of the malononitrile group and a hydrogen atom in theortho position of the phenyl ring causes simultaneous expansion of the bond angles between the malononitrile group and the benzylidene group and rotations of these groups relative to each other. These constraints cause the two groups to be non-planar, the dihedral angle between their least-squares planes being 11·0 °.
