Abstract  

The synthesis and Crystal structure are given for the bis (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylendiammonium) octaiodo pentachloroantimonate (III) salt. An X-ray investigation has shown that the title compound crystallizes in a monoclinic system, space group P2₁/m with the following lattice parameters a = 9.786(2) Ǻ, b = 14.024(5) Ǻ, c = 14.336(3) Ǻ, β = 91.35(2)° and Z = 2. The structure was solved from 3085 independent reflections with R ₁ = 0.0402 and wR ₂ = 0.0952 and refined with 152 parameters. The structure shows a layer arrangement perpendicular to the [(b)\vec] \vec{b} -axis: planes of [SbCl₅]²⁻, I₃ ⁻ and I₅ ⁻ anions alternate with planes of [(CH₂)₂(NH(CH₃)₂)₂]²⁺ cations. The [SbCl₅]²⁻ square pyramids present an active lone electron pair (LEP) on the Sb atoms and they are interconnected by means of N–H···Cl hydrogen bond originating from [(CH₂)₂(NH(CH₃)₂)₂]²⁺ entities. The polyiodides (I₃ ⁻ and I₅ ⁻) anions form a planer zigzag polymeric chains via I···I linking interactions. These chains are linked to the [SbCl₅]²⁻ anions by a long range contact.     

Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds and the Supramolecular Structure of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-Bis(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolylsulfonyl)diethylenetriamine

Abstract  The title compound N,N′-bis(p-tolylsulfonyl)diethylenetriamine (1) was synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction. Adjacent molecules of 1, symmetrically related through a c-glide, are linked by alternating hydrogen bonds that form molecular chains along [0 0 1]. Two molecular chains occur in each unit cell and pack to form alternating layers in a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The compound crystallizes in the Pca2₁ space group stabilized by the inclusion of solvent dichloromethane molecules in structural voids between molecules of 1. The dichloromethane molecules are related through a twofold screw rotation axis and are not disordered. Index Abstract  Intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving sulfonamide moieties of title compound afford a supramoleular structure that accommodates the inclusion of dichloromethane in alternating layers.

Crystal and Molecular Structure of the 1:2 Adduct Formed Between <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-Butylenebis(imidazole) and Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

Abstract  

Two imidazolyl derived complexes [N,N′-butylenebis(imidazole): (fumaric acid)₂ (1), and N,N′-butylenebis(imidazole): (2,4,6-trinitrophenol)₂ (2)] were prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P−1, with a = 5.9990(12) ?, b = 8.1772(16) ?, c = 10.419(2) ?, α = 86.88(2)°, β = 84.73(3)°, γ = 77.03(4)°, V = 495.67(17) ?³, Z = 1. For 1, two dimensional network structure is formed through imidazolium moieties forming hydrogen bonds to di-ionic carboxylate groups of fumarate chains. In the same network layers and adjacent layers, C–H···O contact also accompanies the N⁺–H···O⁻ hydrogen bonds, all these lead the extended architecture to show a three-dimensional lamellar structure. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P − 1, with a = 7.0236(14) ?, b = 8.2831(17) ?, c = 12.053(2) ?, α = 106.05(4)°, β = 99.13(2)°, γ = 98.84(3)°, V = 650.8(2) ?³, Z = 1. In 2, two parallel imidazolium cations and two antiparallel 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate anions formed 32-membered rings through hydrogen bonding interaction, these rings extended along the c axis direction to form one dimensional railway structure. Adjacent parallel railways connect further through C–H···O hydrogen bonds between the 2-CH of the imidazole ring and the NO₂ group O atoms. These weak interactions combined, the complex showed 3D layer structure.

Abstract  The structure of cis-(CH₃)₂Au(O,O′-acac) was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmca with unit cell dimensions a = 6.7831(13) ?, b = 15.080(3) ?, c = 18.073(3) ? and α = β = γ = 90°. The molecule is planar but lacks a C₂ axis in the solid-state, with two Au–C bond lengths that differ by 0.078(21) ? due to crystal packing effects. The inequivalence of the crystallographic carbon positions is evident in the solid-state ¹³C CP-MAS NMR spectrum, which was recorded at low temperature due to the thermal sensitivity of the compound during magic-angle spinning. Head-to-tail stacking, which creates short intermolecular paths, was reproduced computationally in a dimer model.

Synthesis and Structure Determination of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>′-(Naphthalen-2-ylmethyl sulfanyl (1-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolyl-ethylidene) Hydrazine

Abstract  

S,S′-(Naphthalen-2-ylmethyl sulfanyl (1-p-tolyl-ethylidene) hydrazine (SNM4MA) was prepared by the condensation of S-napthalen-2-ylmethyldithiocarbazate (SNMDTC) and 4-methylacetophenone. Yellow needles of SNM4MA were obtained upon slow evaporation of a 50:50 mixture of acetonitrile and DMSO over a period of weeks.

The title compound exists as a trans–cis conformer in which the naphthalene group is trans with respect to the thione sulfur while the benzyl group adopts a cis geometry. ¹³C and ¹H spectra confirm that the dimeric nature is retained in DMSO solution.     

Crystal Study of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>′-diphenyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>′-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine

Abstract  

The structure of N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1-naphthyl)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (NPB) with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, was solved and refined to a final R factor of 0.0434. The compound crystallized in the triclinic crystal system, space group P − 1, Z = 2, V = 1597.0(3) ?³ with unit cell parameters a = 10.3077(10) ?, b = 11.3545(11) ?, c = 14.4778(14) ?, α = 82.339(2)°, β = 77.657(2)°, and γ = 75.526(2)°. The two molecules in the asymmetric unit differed in the orientation of their triarylamino groups. The biphenyl group in the central structure is coplanar, and the angle between the least-square planes of the two six-carbon rings of the biphenyl moiety is zero degree. The packing of the molecules in the lattice is mainly due to the naphthyl-to-naphthyl π–π interaction with a distance of 3.861 ?.
