Catenated molecular pattern in the crystal structure of a copper(II) complex with pyrazine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and chloride ligands

The crystals of catena-dichloro-(dihydrogen pyrazine-2,6-dicarboxylato-O,O′,N,-N′) copper(II) dihydrate Cu[H₂(2,6-PZDC)]Cl₂?2H₂O are monclinic, space group C2/c with a = 11.658(2) Å, b = 6.778(1) Å, c = 16.390(3) Å, β = 98.90(3)^°, and Z = 4. Two adjacent copper(II) ions are bridged by a fully protonated pyrazine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid molecule which uses for bridging its O,O′,N-bonding moiety on one side and a single hetero-ring nitrogen atom on the other. Two chloride ions in axial position complete the octahedral coordination around the metal ions with bond distances: Cu–N 2.027(3) ÅA, Cu–N′ 2.005(3) ÅA, Cu–Cl. 2.281(1) ÅA, and Cu–O 2.446(2) ÅA. Copper(II) ions are located in the center of symmetry and are coplanar with the ligand acid molecule forming flat molecular chains propagating in the direction of the b axis. Hydrogen bonds via solvation water molecule link the chains into molecular layers parallel to the ac plane. Weak van der Waals type interactions operate between the layers.     

The crystal structure of the molecular complex of camphoramic acid with mandelic acid: A partial separation of a racemic mixture of mandelic acid by (1R,3S)-camphoramic acid

From an ethanol/water solution containing (1R,3S)-camphoramic acid and a racemic mixture of mandelic acid, the title complex crystallizes in the space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a = 8.015(2), b = 11.041(2), c = 21.781(4) Å. Both molecular complexes, the (1R,3S)-camphoramic acid (S)-mandelic acid complex and the (1R,3S)-camphoramic acid (R)-mandelic acid complex, randomly distribute in a disordered crystal structure with an approximate molar ratio of 3:1, thus a 3:1 separation of the mandelic acid enantiomers was achieved. Molecules of (S)-mandelic and (R)-mandelic acid form very similar intermolecular interactions with adjacent camphoramic acid and water molecules in the structure. This results in the formation of a cocrystal containing two diastereomers. The crystal structure consists of camphoramic acid layers and mandelic acid layers. An extensive H-bonding network occurs within and between the layers.

Separation of rosin acids by molecular recognition: crystal structure of the complex of neoabietic acid with 2-amino-6-methyl-pyridine

Neoabietic acid has been separated from gum rosin mixture by the aid of molecular recognition using 2-amino-6-methyl-pyridine as recognition reagent. The complex of neoabietic acid with 2-amino-6-methy-pyridine crystallizes from ether solution in the monoclinic, space group P2₁ with cell parameters of a = 7.370(1), b = 8.692(1), c = 18.365(2) Å, = 92.53(1)°,V = 1175.3(2) ų and Z = 2. X-ray structure analysis shows that an extensive H-bonding network exists between neoabietic acid and amino(methyl)pyridine, which is considered as one of the factors resulting in successfully separating the neoabietic acid from the gum rosin mixture.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of a mixed-ligand lanthanum complex of phenanthroline H-bonded with benzo-15-crown-5

A mixed ligand lanthanum complex H-bonded with a crown ether benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5), [La(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₂phen]B15C5 (phen = phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrum, and X-ray crystal structure analysis. The crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, P2₁, with a = 18.879(6) Å, b = 20.110(5) Å, c = 19.358(4) Å, V = 6623.4 ų, = 115.68(3)°, Z = 8, D _calc = 1.623 g/cm³. In this complex, two nitrogen atoms from phen and eight oxygen atoms, six from NO₃ ^– and two from H₂O, coordinate to La(III), forming a 10-coordination structural unit. The two H₂O molecules are located in opposite directions of the unit, each H₂O is H-bonded with two O atoms of the B15C5, and each B15C5 molecule is H-bonded with two H₂O molecules on opposite sides, thus an infinite supramolecular chain forms. The title compound has a layered structure, and in each unit cell there exists one 3D channel.

Synthesis of homoleptic lanthanide amides and the crystal structure of [Li(THF)4][Y(NPh2)4]

Anhydrous LnCl₃ reacted with three equivalents of LiNPh₂ in THF to give the unexpected homoleptic lanthanide amides [Li(THF)₄][Ln(NPh₂)₄] (Ln = Sm (1), Y (2)) in high yield.

To achieve steric saturation of the metal center, there are interactions between the yttrium atom and one -carbon atom of each amide ligand. The yttrium and lithium atoms both exhibit distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry.     

Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of a seven‐coordinate Mn(II) complex

A seven‐coordinate Mn(II) complex of N,N,N ′,N ′‐tetrakis[(2‐benzimidazolyl)methyl]‐1,2‐cyclohexanediamine ( CDTB ), namely, [Mn(CDTB)(DMF)](Pic)₂·C₂H₅OH was synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. The complex crystallizes in a typical hybrid organic‐inorganic pattern.

The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.0561 (wR₂ = 0.1172). The structure analysis reveals that the Mn(II) has a capped octahedron geometry with seven‐coordination mode, furthermore, the [Mn(CDTB)(DMF)]²⁺ building blocks were extended into well‐ordered supramolecular networks by complementary hydrogen bonds, and the linkers of the ethanol molecules and the picrate anions play an important role in the self‐assembly process.

Structure, absolute configuration, and conformation of the antimalarial drug artesunate

The crystal and molecular structure of the antimalarial compound artesunate has been determined by direct methods. Crystals are orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁, a = 9.8371(12), b = 10.517(2), c = 18.7594(5) Å, Z = 4, D _c = 1.316 mg/mL. The molecule is comprised of a fused ring system containing a six-membered ring C which includes an oxygen bridge and a peroxy bridge. The 9-atom oxygen–carbon chain from O(5)—C(12)... to ... O(2)—C(6) displays a striking sequence of short, long, short, long ... bonds while these distances are all within the ranges of a normal single bond or partial double bond. It is proposed that this pattern is caused by the delocalization of the lone pair electrons on the oxygen atoms. The ring C has a distorted boat conformation and the C—O—O—C torsion angle is 46.3(2)°. Rings A and D have ideal chair conformations. Ring junctions A/B and A/D are cis junctions, B/D and C/D are trans. Packing of the molecules is stabilized by one strong hydrogen bond involving the hydroxyl group on the ester linkage and the oxygen atom of the lactone ring.

The Mo₂ ⁴⁺ unit was surrounded by four trans-crotonate ligands resulting in a paddle wheel structure with one disordered trans-crotonate ligand. Molecules are bonded together by means of interactions consisting of the donation of lone pairs of electron on carboxylate O atoms on one molecule to the Mo atom on an adjacent complex. A new pattern of intermolecular bonding is observed.     

Synthesis and structure of a hexaazamacrocyclic copper(II) complex with maleato ligand

A hexaazamacrocyclic copper(II) complex Cu(L)(H₂O) (O₂CCH = CHCO₂)⋅H₂O (1) (L = 3,10-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexaazacyclotetradecane) was prepared and structurally characterized by a combination of analytical, spectroscopic, and crystallographic methods. In complex 1, the coordination geometry about the copper(II) ion is six-coordinate with four equatorial nitrogen atoms from the macrocycle and two oxygen atoms from the axial maleato and aqua ligands. In 1, the one end of the maleato ligand coordinates to the central copper atom, while the other end is not bonded. The macrocycle and the axial ligands are highly involved in multiple types of hydrogen bonding interactions, resulting in the stabilization of the maleato ligand as a “coordinated ligand counter anion.”

A 1:1:2 complex between 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), anthraflavic acid, and water

A 1:1:2 complex of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), anthraflavic acid, and water has been obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction. C₂₄H₃₆N₄O₆, monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 11.966(1) Å, b = 11.570(1) Å, c = 9.604(1) Å, = 107.16(1)°,V = 1270.5(2) ų, Z = 2. Two of the four N atoms of the macrocyclic ring are protonated, and the corresponding anthraflavic acid exists as a dianion. The following types of H-bonding have been found in this complex: (1) between protonated NH groups of the macrocycle and O atoms of the ionized anthraflavic hydroxyls; (2) between protonated and nonprotonated NH groups of the macrocycle; (3) between the water molecules and O atoms of the ionized anthraflavic hydroxyls. The above interactions give rise to the formation of a 2D-supramolecular network in the cyclam complex; however, the major difference from the azamacrocyclic anthraflavates studied previously is that there is no direct interaction between the anthraflavic anions.Deceased
