Synthesis and crystal structure of a silver(I) complex with dithioether ligand

The reaction of the dithioether ligand, 2,3-bis(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiomethyl) quinoxaline (L) with AgBF₄, leads to the formation of a novel complex {[AgL](BF₄)}_∞ 1, which has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: monoclinic, space group C2/c, with a = 20.316(7) ?, b = 12.401(4) ?, c = 18.039(6) ?, β = 108.404(6)° and V = 4312(3) ?³. The crystal structure of the complex consists of 1D {[AgL]⁺}_∞ cation chain and BF₄ ⁻ anions. In 1, the coordination geometry of Ag^I center can be best described as trigonal planar coordinated by three N from two distinct L ligands. The ligand is polydentate with one end adopting a bidentate conformation to chelate an Ag^I atom and the other end monodentate to bridge another Ag^I resulting in an infinite chain along b axis. There exist Ag⋯N weak coordination, π–π stacking and F⋯S weak interactions in the complex, and these weak interactions link the 1D complex into 3D supramolecular structure and further stabilize the crystal structure in the solid state.     

Synthesis, crystal structures, and properties of two manganese(II)-nitroprusside complexes

Two new manganese(II)-1,10-phenanthroline-nitroprusside complexes, [Mn(phen)₃][Fe (CN)₅(NO)]⋯2H₂O⋯0.25CH₃OH (1) and [Mn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂][Fe(CN)₅(NO)]⋯H₂O (2) (where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, electronic paramagnetic resonance (E.P.R.) and IR analyses. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with lattice parameters a = 10.0441(15) Å, b = 19.668(2) Å, c = 19.938(3) Å,  β =100.427(14)°, V = 3873.7(10) ų, Z = 4; complex (2) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 17.120(2) Å, b = 13.7925(19) Å, c = 14.4362(17) Å, β = 107.962(12)°, V = 3242.6(7) ų, Z = 4. In the two compounds, three phen ligands 1, or two phen ligands and two cis-related aqua molecules 2, are in a distorted octahedral arrangement around the Mn(II) ion. The nitroprusside anion, [Fe(CN)₅(NO)]²⁻, acts as a counterion. It is intriguing that in complex 2 no cyano bridges are present with two water molecules coordinated to the Mn(II) ion considering that usually the cyano nitrogen atoms are strong donors and could readily replace the coordinating solvent water molecules. Abundant hydrogen bond interactions and π–π stacking between the phen rings in two complexes lead to three-dimensional supramolecular networks.

However pronounced differences are observed in the conformation of dihydropyran ring which has a half-chair conformation with an 8β-9α orientation in molecule A and is intermediate between half-chair and sofa in molecule B. Differences also occur in the conformation of the 2-methylbutenoyloxy side chain at C9 due to the different geometry of C–H···π interactions in molecules A and B. Molecules A and B are connected by π–π interactions between their coumarin fragments forming dimers. The dimers interact through C–H···O and C–H···πhydrogen bonds.

Syntheses and X-ray structures of the bridging and chelating isomers of Os3(CO)10(dmpe)

The substitution chemistry of the activated clusters Os₃(CO)₁₀(MeCN)₂ (1) and Os₃(CO)₁₀(1,5-cod) (2) has been investigated with the bidentate ligand 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane (dmpe). Both starting clusters react rapidly with dmpe at room temperature to give the corresponding substitution product Os₃(CO)₁₀(dmpe) (3), whose isomeric composition is shown to depend on the nature of the starting cluster. Whereas the bridged cluster 1,2-Os₃(CO)₁₀(dmpe) (3b) was formed almost exclusively upon reaction with Os₃(CO)₁₀(MeCN)₂, a near statistical mixture of bridging (3b) and chelating (3c) isomers of Os₃(CO)₁₀(dmpe) was found in the reaction employing Os₃(CO)₁₀(1,5-cod). Both dmpe isomers have been characterized in solution by 3iP NMR spectroscopy and their solid-state structures established by X-ray crystallography.

Abstract  

Three new polymeric frameworks, [Ni(bbbm)(L1)₂] _n (1), [Ni(bbbm)(L2)₂] _n (2), and {[Co(bbbm)(L3)]·H₂O} _n (3) (bbbm = 1,4-bis(N-benzimidazolyl) butane, HL1 = 4-bromobenzoic acid, HL2 = 3-methylbenzoic acid, and H₂L3 = glutaric acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

In the structure of 3, there are infinite 1D zigzag Co(II)-bbbm chains linked together by L3 ligands to generate an undulated 2D (4,4) sheet, which is further connected by intermolecular π–π stacking interactions to form a 3D supramolecular network. Furthermore, thermal stability and luminescent property of 1–3 were investigated.

Crystal and Molecular Structures of Two Triazole Derivatives: 4-Cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazole and Methyl 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate

Abstract  

The molecule in 4-cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazole (I) is disposed about a mirror plane with the triazole ring lying in the plane and being orthogonal to the cyclopropyl ring. Considerable delocalization of π-electron density within the triazole ring is indicated by the pattern of bond distances in (I). The molecule of methyl 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (II) adopts a curved shape with the dihedral angle formed between the triazole and benzene rings being 63.23(8)°. By contrast to (I), localization of π-electron density within the triazole ring in (II) is indicated. Both (I), via N–H···N hydrogen bonding, and (II), via C–H···O and C–H···N interactions, associate in the solid state to form supramolecular chains. In (I), the chain is a zigzag with a flat topology, whereas in (II) the linear chain has a curved topology. Compound (I) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 5.6470(2) ?, b = 7.3359(4) ?, c = 13.4404(7) ?, and Z = 4.

The structure of the scandium iodide complex with antipyrine (AP) and its comparison with the structure of nonisostructural analogues (Compounds [Ln(AP)6]I3 (Ln = La, Y, or Eu))

An X-ray diffraction study of the scandium iodide complex with antipyrine [Sc(AP)₆]I₃ (AP is antipyrine, i.e., 2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one) (I), which is not isostructural to the analogous compounds of Y, La, and Eu (II), is performed. Crystals I are trigonal; a = 24.911 ? and c = 10.140 ?; Z = 3, space group P $ \bar 3 $ \bar 3 . Crystal I is built of [Sc(AP)₆]³⁺ complex cations of two types and I⁻ anions. In both cations, the Sc atom is octahedrally coordinated by six O atoms of six AP ligands (Sc-O, 2.054–2.078 ?). Complexes I differ from II by the absence of π-π stacking interactions between AP molecules, resulting in a supramolecular cation. Complex cations I of both types form combined layers. All I⁻ anions are located in the interlayer space, being statistically disordered within a flat area limited by eight complex cations of Sc1 and Sc2.

The molecules consist of a enaminoketone group formed by a Fischer base 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-methylene-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole bonded, at the exocyclic electron-rich β-carbon atom of the indole moiety, with the benzoyl chloride derivatives substituted at para-positions with cyano and chloro groups. The molecules adopt a s-cis conformation with respect to the C=O bond towards the C=C bond, and a E configuration about the latter indole exocyclic alkene C–C bond. Intermolecular arrangement of the crystals show, for (I) an antiparallel stacking mode favored by the formation of weak C–H···π interactions involving the phenyl ring attached to the carbonyl group and the phenyl of the indole fragment in a head-to-tail mode, whereas, (II) present an weak C–H···Hal interaction.

Hydrogen Bonded 3D Supramolecular Architectures of Three Saccharinate Salts

Abstract  

Three saccharinate salts (2-aminopyrimidine): (saccharin) (1), (4-phenylthiazol-2-amine): (saccharin) (2), and (2-methylquinoline): (saccharin) (3) were prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Salt 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 7.1782(9) ?, b = 13.5105(16) ?, c = 12.2251(12) ?, β = 93.3410(10)°, V = 1183.6(2) ?³, Z = 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 7.4584(7) ?, b = 8.6930(9) ?, c = 12.9179(14) ?, α = 108.952(2)°, β = 91.7510(10)°, γ = 97.2280(10)°, V = 783.57(14) ?³, Z = 2. Compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 7.781(8) ?, b = 19.4209(19) ?, c = 10.9719(12) ?, β = 107.7390(10)°, V = 1579.2(16) ?³, Z = 4. The different hydrogen bonding interaction modes of the saccharinate anions and the cations lead to 3D network structure, 3D staircase structure, and 3D ABAB layer structure for 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Despite variations in the cation shape on the aromatic N–heterocyclic compounds, there all existed strong intermolecular N–H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds. In compounds 1, and 3 the N⁺–H⋯O interaction between the N⁺–H group of the cation and the C=O group of the saccharinate anion is the most important interaction in this family of salts. However, in 2, there was a N–H⋯O interaction between the amino proton and the C=O group of the saccharinate anion. At the next level, the aromatic C–H proton interacts with the sulfonyl O atom. There are also π–π interactions in compounds 1–2, there is CH₃–π interaction in 3. Under these interactions the three compounds exhibit synthons I–III respectively. These interactions are responsible for the high-yielding supramolecular assembly of N-containing aromatic bases and the saccharinate into salts.     

Structures of Three Chalcones Derived from 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde

Abstract  In the molecular structures of three new structurally related chalcone derivatives, namely (2E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C₂₀H₁₆O₃, I, (2E)-1-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C₁₉H₁₄ClNO₂, II, and (2E)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-1-pyridin-4-ylprop-2-en-1-one, III, C₁₉H₁₅NO₂, the configuration of the keto group is syn with respect to the olefinic double bond.

These interactions link the molecules into chains diagonally along the (011) plane of the unit cell in I and III and along the (010) plane in II. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and 2-napthyl rings in I is 31.7(3)°. In II and III the dihedral angle between the pyridyl and 2-naphthyl rings is 14.4(9)° and 1.8(9)°, respectively. C–H···O hydrogen bonding interactions influence these twist angles of these rings in I–III while weak π–π stacking interactions between naphthyl rings in I and III and also between pyridyl and naphthyl rings in II help stabilize crystal packing.
