catena‐Poly­[[di­aqua­lithium(I)]‐μ‐[9H‐purine‐2,6(1H,3H)‐dionato‐O2:N7]]

In the title compound, [Li(C₅H₃N₄O₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, the coordinate geometry about the Li⁺ ion is distorted tetrahedral and the Li⁺ ion is bonded to N and O atoms of adjacent ligand mol­ecules forming an infinite polymeric chain with Li—O and Li—N bond lengths of 1.901 (5) and 2.043 (6) Å, respectively. Tetrahedral coordination at the Li⁺ ion is completed by two cis water mol­ecules [Li—O 1.985 (6) and 1.946 (6) Å]. The crystal structure is stabilized both by the polymeric structure and by a hydrogen‐bond network involving N—H?O, O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

Nature of coordination bond in silatranes and its formation dynamics according to the ab initio calculations

Quantum-chemical calculations of 1-hydrosilatrane molecule with complete optimization of its geometry and at various fixed Si…N distances (2.0 to 3.7 Å) has been carried out at the MP2/6-31G(d) level. The silatranes coordination bond is formed of different atomic orbitals of Si and N atoms participating in a series of molecular orbitals. With the Si…N distance decreasing, contributions of the atomic orbitals in these molecular orbitals have been changed, number of the molecular orbitals has increased, and total energy of the molecule has decreased. At the coordination centers are getting closer, population of the nitrogen valence s and p _z orbitals have changed due to the corresponding bond angle change; the populations of Si and H orbitals are not significantly changed.     

2‐(2‐Oxazolin‐2‐yl)benzene‐1,4‐diol: X‐ray and density functional theory studies

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₉H₉NO₃, there are strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N and inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds which, together with weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, lead to the formation of infinite chains of mol­ecules. The calculated inter­molecular hydrogen‐bond energies are −11.3 and −2.7 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively, showing the dominant role of the O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. A natural bond orbital analysis revealed the electron contribution of the lone pairs of the oxazoline N and O atoms, and of the two hydr­oxy O atoms, to the order of the relevant bonds.     

How the oxazole fragment influences the conformation of the tetraoxazocane ring in a cyclohexanespiro‐3′‐(1,2,4,5,7‐tetraoxazocane): single‐crystal X‐ray and theoretical study

Single crystals of (2S,5R)‐2‐isopropyl‐5‐methyl‐7‐(5‐methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)cyclohexanespiro‐3′‐(1,2,4,5,7‐tetraoxazocane), C₁₆H₂₆N₂O₅, have been studied via X‐ray diffraction. The tetraoxazocane ring adopts a boat–chair conformation in the crystalline state, which is due to intramolecular interactions. Conformational analysis of the tetraoxazocane fragment performed at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,2p) level of theory showed that there are three minima on the potential energy surface, one of which corresponds to the conformation realized in the solid state, but not to a global minimum. Analysis of the geometry and the topological parameters of the electron density at the (3,?1) bond critical points (BCPs), and the charge transfer in the tetraoxazocane ring indicated that there are stereoelectronic effects in the O—C—O and N—C—O fragments. There is a two‐cross hyperconjugation in the N—C—O fragment between the lone electron pair of the N atom (lpN) and the antibonding orbital of a C—O bond (σ*_C—O) and vice versa between lpO and σ*_C—N. The oxazole substituent has a considerable effect on the geometry and the topological parameters of the electron density at the (3,?1) BCPs of the tetraoxazocane ring. The crystal structure is stabilized via intermolecular C—H…N and C—H…O hydrogen bonds, which is unambiguously confirmed with PIXEL calculations, a quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) topological analysis of the electron density at the (3,?1) BCPs and a Hirshfeld analysis of the electrostatic potential. The molecules form zigzag chains in the crystal due to intermolecular C—H…N interactions being electrostatic in origin. The molecules are further stacked due to C—H…O hydrogen bonds. The dispersion component in the total stabilization energy of the crystal lattice is 68.09%.     

Glycosidic linkage,N‐acetyl side‐chain,and other structural properties of methyl 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐β‐d‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→4)‐β‐d‐mannopyranoside monohydrate and related compounds

The crystal structure of methyl 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐glycopyranosyl‐(1→4)‐β‐d ‐mannopyranoside monohydrate, C₁₅H₂₇NO₁₁·H₂O, was determined and its structural properties compared to those in a set of mono‐ and disaccharides bearing N‐acetyl side‐chains in βGlcNAc aldohexopyranosyl rings. Valence bond angles and torsion angles in these side chains are relatively uniform, but C—N (amide) and C—O (carbonyl) bond lengths depend on the state of hydrogen bonding to the carbonyl O atom and N—H hydrogen. Relative to N‐acetyl side chains devoid of hydrogen bonding, those in which the carbonyl O atom serves as a hydrogen‐bond acceptor display elongated C—O and shortened C—N bonds. This behavior is reproduced by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, indicating that the relative contributions of amide resonance forms to experimental C—N and C—O bond lengths depend on the solvation state, leading to expectations that activation barriers to amide cis–trans isomerization will depend on the polarity of the environment. DFT calculations also revealed useful predictive information on the dependencies of inter‐residue hydrogen bonding and some bond angles in or proximal to β‐(1→4) O‐glycosidic linkages on linkage torsion angles ? and ψ. Hypersurfaces correlating ? and ψ with the linkage C—O—C bond angle and total energy are sufficiently similar to render the former a proxy of the latter.     

2,2′‐Bipyridinium(1+) bromide monohydrate

In the crystal structure of 2,2′‐bipyridinium(1+) bromide monohydrate, C₁₀H₉N₂⁺·Br⁻·H₂O, the cation has a cisoid conformation with an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. The cation also forms an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to an adjacent water mol­ecule, which in turn forms O—H⋯Br⁻ hydrogen bonds to adjacent Br⁻ anions. In this way, a chain is formed extending along the b axis. Additional interactions (C—H⋯Br⁻ and π–π) serve to stabilize the structure further.     

Intramolecular O → Si donor-acceptor interaction in R2P(=O)CH2CH2SiF3 molecules: Synthesis of dialkyl [2-(trifluorosilyl)ethyl]phosphonate and bis[(chloromethyl)dimethylsilyl] styrylphosphonate

The reaction of diethyl [2-(triethoxysilyl)ethyl]phosphonate with boron trifluoride etherate was used to synthesize diethyl [2-(trifluorosilyl)ethyl]phosphonate. The reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl) styrylphosphonate with chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane gave bis[(chloromethyl)dimethylsilyl] styrylphosphonate. Multinuclear ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ²⁹Si, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy established the absence of a P=O → Si coordination bond in these compounds and the four-coordinate state of the silicon atom. Evidence for this finding was obtained by B3LYP/6-31G(d) quantum-chemical calculations. However, the same calculations for R₂P(=O)· CH₂CH₂SiF₃ (R = Me, Me₂N) showed the presence in such molecules of an O → Si coordination bond both in the gas phase and in CHCl₃ solution. The distance between the O and Si atoms in this series molecules decreases with R in the order: MeO > Me > Me₂N. The axial Si-F bond length increases in the same order and parallels the order of the Hammet σ ₀ ^m constants of these substituents, relating to their interaction with π-electron systems.     

5‐(3,4‐Dimethoxybenzyl)‐7‐isopropyl‐1,3,5‐triazepane‐2,6‐dione acetonitrile solvate refined using a multipolar atom model

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₆H₂₃N₃O₄·CH₃CN, was refined using a multipolar atom model transferred from an experimental electron‐density database. The refinement showed some improvement in crystallographic statistical indices compared with the independent atom model. The triazepane ring adopts a twist‐boat conformation. In the crystal structure, the molecule forms intermolecular contacts with 14 different neighbours. There are two N—H...O and one C—H...O intermolecular hydrogen bond.     

The polyoctahedral silsesquioxane (POSS) 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15‐octaphenylpentacyclo[9.5.1.13,9.15,15.17,13]octasiloxane (octaphenyl‐POSS)

Solvent‐free single crystals of 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15‐octaphenylpentacyclo[9.5.1.1^3,9.1^5,15.1^7,13]octasiloxane (abbreviated as octaphenyl‐POSS), C₄₈H₄₀O₁₂Si₈, were obtained by dehydration/condensation of the tetrol Si₄O₄(Ph)₄(OH)₄. The powder pattern generated from the single‐crystal data matches well with the experimentally measured powder pattern of commercial octaphenyl‐POSS. The geometry of the centrosymmetric molecule in the crystal was compared with that in the gas phase, and had shorter Si—O bond lengths and a broader range of Si—O—Si bond angles. The average Si—O bond length [1.621 (3) Å], and Si—O—Si and O—Si—O bond angles [149 (5) and 109 (1)°, respectively] were within the same range measured previously for octaphenyl‐POSS solvates.     

Reaction of tetrafluorosilane with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, tris(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine and bis(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine and its N-methyl derivative. 1,1-difluoroquasisilatranes

Reaction of tetrafluorosilane with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-and tris(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine results in formation of 1-fluorosilatrane and fluorosilatrane in 75 and 53% yield, respectively. Reaction of tetrafluorosilane with bis(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine and its N-methyl derivative leads to the hitherto unknown 1,1-difluoroquasisilatranes (N → Si) F₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₂NR (R = H, Me) containing donor-acceptor bond N → Si and pentacoordinate silicon atom. The structure of the synthesized compounds was proved by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁹F, ²⁹Si NMR and IR spectroscopy.

Interplay of noncovalent interactions in antiseptic quaternary ammonium surfactant Miramistin

The molecular and crystal structure of the widely used antiseptic benzyldimethyl{3‐[(1‐oxotetradecyl)amino]propyl}ammonium chloride monohydrate (Miramistin, MR ), C₂₆H₄₇N₂O⁺·Cl^?·H₂O, was determined by a single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study and analyzed in the framework of the QTAIM (quantum theory of atoms in molecules) approach using both periodic and molecular DFT (density functional theory) calculations. The various noncovalent intermolecular interactions of different strengths were found to be realized in the hydrophilic parts of the crystal packing (i.e. O—H…Cl, N—H…Cl, C—H…Cl, C—H…O and C—H…π). The hydrophobic parts are built up exclusively by van der Waals H…H contacts. Quantification of the interaction energies using calculated electron‐density distribution revealed that the total energy of the contacts within the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are comparable in value. The organic MR cation adopts the bent conformation with the head group tilted back to the long‐chain alkyl tail in both the crystalline and the isolated state due to stabilization of this geometry by several intramolecular C—H…π, C—H…N and H…H interactions. This conformation preference is hypothesized to play an important role in the interaction of MR with biomembranes.     

Dicyclohexylammonium bromoacetate: a low molecular mass organogelator with a one‐dimensional secondary ammonium monocarboxylate (SAM) synthon

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C₁₂H₂₄N⁺·C₂H₂BrO₂⁻, contains a dicyclohexylammonium cation connected to a bromoacetate anion by means of an N—H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, the ion pairs assemble via N—H...O interactions, forming zigzag infinite chains parallel to the c axis with the (...H—N—H...O—C—O...)_n motif that is considered to be a prerequisite for ensuring gelation properties of secondary ammonium monocarboxylate salts. The title salt was characterized by FT–IR, X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD), TG–DTA and ¹H NMR spectroscopy in solution. Gelation experiments revealed that dicyclohexylammonium bromoacetate forms molecular gels with dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to reveal morphological features of dried gels.

Structural and conformational study of 3-phenethyl-3-azabicyclo[3.2.1] octan-8-β-ol

The infrared and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 3-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-8-β-ol have been examined in several media. To assist in interpretation of the spectroscopic data, the crystal structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction.The bicyclic system adopts a chair—envelope conformation with OH and phenethyl groups, respectively, in axial and equatorial positions with respect to the piperidine ring. The crystal structure is stabilized by means of OH…N intermolecular hydrogen bonding. In CCl₄ solution the initial chair—envelope conformation changes to a boat—envelope conformation which is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond.The unambiguous assignment of all protons of the bicyclic system, not previously described, has also been carried out.     

Bis[1,1‐di­methyl­biguanide(1–)‐κ2N2,N5]copper(II) monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₄H₁₀N₅)₂]·H₂O, contains two independent copper N,N‐di­methyl­biguanide complex units, each with square‐planar coordination of the Cu atom by four N atoms. The two complexes have different symmetry, with one Cu atom lying on an inversion centre and the other on a twofold rotation axis. The Cu—N bond lengths are 1.923 (2) and 1.950 (2) Å in the centrosymmetric complex, and 1.928 (2) and 1.938 (2) Å in the non‐centrosymmetric complex. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds; each water mol­ecule forms four hydrogen bonds involving three different Cu complexes.     

Silyl modification of biologically active compounds. 11. Synthesis,physico‐chemical and biological evaluation of N‐(trialkoxysilylalkyl)tetrahydro(iso,silaiso) quinoline derivatives

N‐(trialkoxysilylalkyl) derivatives of 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline, 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline and 4,4‐dimethyl‐4‐sila‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy.

Comparative study of ²⁹Si shifts in newly synthesized compounds suggested donor–acceptor interaction between nitrogen and silicon atom, which increased electron density at Si nuclei, revealing a stronger increment of N → Si transannular bond in comparison with N → Si α‐effect. The molecular structure of 3‐[N‐(1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinolyl)]propylsilatrane features a penta‐coordinate silicon atom having CSiO₃ pattern and Si…N intramolecular interaction.

Poly[[μ‐(1‐azaniumylethane‐1,1‐diyl)bis(hydrogen phosphonato)]sodium]: a powder X‐ray diffraction study

The title two‐dimensional coordination polymer, [Na(C₂H₈NO₆P₂)]_n, was characterized using powder X‐ray diffraction data and its structure refined using the Rietveld method. The asymmetric unit contains one Na⁺ cation and one (1‐azaniumylethane‐1,1‐diyl)bis(hydrogen phosphonate) anion. The central Na⁺ cation exhibits distorted octahedral coordination geometry involving two deprotonated O atoms, two hydroxy O atoms and two double‐bonded O atoms of the bisphosphonate anion. Pairs of sodium‐centred octahedra share edges and the pairs are in turn connected to each other by the biphosphonate anion to form a two‐dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane. The polymeric layers are connected by strong O—H...O hydrogen bonding between the hydroxy group and one of the free O atoms of the bisphosphonate anion to generate a three‐dimensional network. Further stabilization of the crystal structure is achived by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonding.<!?tpb=18.7pt>     

In situ single‐crystal to single‐crystal (SCSC) transformation of the one‐dimensional polymer catena‐poly[[diaqua(sulfato)copper(II)]‐μ2‐glycine] into the two‐dimensional polymer poly[μ2‐glycine‐μ4‐sulfato‐copper(II)]

The one‐dimensional coordination polymer catena‐poly[diaqua(sulfato‐κO)copper(II)]‐μ₂‐glycine‐κ²O:O′], [Cu(SO₄)(C₂H₅NO₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, (I), was synthesized by slow evaporation under vacuum of a saturated aqueous equimolar mixture of copper(II) sulfate and glycine. On heating the same blue crystal of this complex to 435 K in an oven, its aspect changed to a very pale blue and crystal structure analysis indicated that it had transformed into the two‐dimensional coordination polymer poly[(μ₂‐glycine‐κ²O:O′)(μ₄‐sulfato‐κ⁴O:O′:O′′:O′′)copper(II)], [Cu(SO₄)(C₂H₅NO₂)]_n, (II). In (I), the Cu^II cation has a pentacoordinate square‐pyramidal coordination environment. It is coordinated by two water molecules and two O atoms of bridging glycine carboxylate groups in the basal plane, and by a sulfate O atom in the apical position. In complex (II), the Cu^II cation has an octahedral coordination environment. It is coordinated by four sulfate O atoms, one of which bridges two Cu^II cations, and two O atoms of bridging glycine carboxylate groups. In the crystal structure of (I), the one‐dimensional polymers, extending along [001], are linked via N—H...O, O—H...O and bifurcated N—H...O,O hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional framework. In the crystal structure of (II), the two‐dimensional networks are linked via bifurcated N—H...O,O hydrogen bonds involving the sulfate O atoms, forming a three‐dimensional framework. In the crystal structures of both compounds, there are C—H...O hydrogen bonds present, which reinforce the three‐dimensional frameworks.     

A luminescent bis(pyridyl)‐substituted benzimidazole platinum(II) complex exhibiting an intermolecular anagostic interaction

The photophysical properties of transition metal complexes of the 5,6‐dimethyl‐2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole ligand are of interest. Dichlorido[5,6‐dimethyl‐2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐κ²N ²,N ³]platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₂₀H₁₈N₄)], is luminescent in the solid state at room temperature. The compound displays a distorted square‐planar coordination geometry. The Pt—N(imidazole) bond length is shorter than the Pt—N(pyridine) bond length. The extended structure reveals that symmetry‐related molecules display weak C—H…N, C—H…Cl, and C—H…Pt hydrogen‐bonding interactions that are clearly discernable in the Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots. The intermolecular C—H…Pt and C—H…N interactions have been explored using density functional theory. The result of an analysis of the distance dependence of C—H…Pt yields a value consistent with that observed in the solid‐state structure. The energy of interaction for the C—H…Pt interaction is found to be about −11 kJ mol⁻¹.
