TRANS-1,4,5,8-tetraazodecalin crystals occurring in ethylenediamine

Composition and structure of crystals of unknown origin, crystallizing spontaneously from ethylenediamine on standing, has been determined by elemental analysis, FTIR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The crystal with molecular formula C6H14N4 has been found to be a highly symmetric saturated imino compound with double-ring structure, and unambiguously identified as trans-1,4,5,8-tetraazodecalin by ¹H NMR and powder X-ray diffraction based on both its specific AA'BB' spin coupling system and simulated XRD pattern calculated from available data of previous single crystal structure determination, respectively. Simultaneous TG/DTA measurement shows one-step degradation of this compound. The volatile decomposition products have been followed by both TG/DTA-MS and TG-FTIR. Group of the largest fragments (m/z=80, 81 and 82) observed by TG/DTA-MS corresponds to an aromatic 1,4-diazine (pyrazine). In the EGA-FTIR spectrum of released gaseous species measured at the highest evolution rate by TG-FTIR, ethylenediamine can be identified as another decomposition product.

Synthesis, growth and characterization of a new nonlinear optical material: 4-phenylpyridinium hydrogen squarate (4PHS)

A novel organic non-linear optical organic single crystal of 4-phenylpyridinium hydrogen squarate (4PHS) has been synthesized and successfully grown from aqueous solutions by slow evaporation solution growth method. In the present investigation the title compound has been synthesized by taking equimolar quantity of 4-phenylpyridine and squaric acid and mixed thoroughly using double distilled water as the solvent. The prepared concentrated solution was placed in an undisturbed condition, and then the solution was periodically inspected. The good quality single crystals have been harvested in a time span of 3 weeks. Then the grown crystal was characterized as single crystal XRD, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR, UV-vis-NIR, SHG, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR analyses, respectively. The observed results from the characterization analyses show its suitability for NLO applications when compared with some of the existing organic crystals. The relative second harmonic generation of this grown crystal was found to be five times higher than that of KDP crystal. The UV cut-off wavelength and decomposition temperature of this grown crystal were also comparatively better. (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR spectroscopic studies were employed to elucidate the structure of the grown specimen.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure Analysis and DFT Calculation of 1-Benzoyl-3,6-diphenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine

The new title compound, 1-benzoyl-3,6-diphenyl-1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (C21H16N4O, Mr = 340.38), has been prepared and its crystal structure can not be confirmed by the results of MS, elemental analysis, IR spectrum and 1H NMR spectrum, but determined by X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 7.1100(19), b = 12.115(3), c = 19.884(6), V = 1712.7(8)3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.320 g/cm3, F(000) = 712, μ = 0.085 mm-1, MoKa radiation (λ = 0.71073), R = 0.0334 and wR = 0.0845 for 2254 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the central tetrazine adopts an unsymmetrical boat conformation. According to the bond lengths of tetrazine ring, the molecule should be 1,4-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, rather than 1,2-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine. The crystal structure is stabilized mainly by intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds.     

Influence of protonation on crystal packing and thermal behaviour of tert-butylammonium decavanadates

Two tert-butylammonium decavanadate(V) salts with the formulae [(CH₃)₃CNH₃]₆[V₁₀O₂₈] · 8H₂O (1) and [(CH₃)₃CNH₃]₄[H₂V₁₀O₂₈] (2), have been synthesized and their crystal structures have been determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of compound 1 is stabilized by electrostatic forces and an extensive network of hydrogen contacts involving anions, cations and water molecules. The anions and cations of this compound are arranged in layers perpendicular to the [010] direction following the sequence, cation-anion-cation. In the crystal structure of compound (2), each dihydrogen decavanadate(V) anion is joined to three adjacent polyanions by means of O(6)---H ··· O(4) hydrogen contacts forming layers parallel to the plane ( 01) and the hydrophobic groups of the cations are disposed in layers parallel to the anionic sheets. The thermal behaviour of both compounds has been studied. Compound 1 is an octahydrate and its thermal decomposition begins at 70°C with the loss of water of crystallization, while compound 2 is anhydrous and is consequently more stable, with decomposition starting at 200°C.

Effect of grinding on dehydration of crystal water of theophylline

The effect of grinding on the dehydration of crystal water of theophylline has been studied. It was observed that the water content of theophylline hydrate decreased with increased grinding time. As the grinding time proceeded, the results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that crystal water of ground theophylline hydrate dehydrated in three steps at ca. 58, 44, and 17 degrees C, respectively. Powder X-ray diffraction study revealed that the crystal lattice of theophylline monohydrate collapsed by grinding, and part of the theophylline molecules subsequently rearranged the collapsed lattice to form theophylline anhydrate. The result of Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the hydrogen bonds between crystal water molecules and theophylline molecules were weakened or destroyed to some extent by grinding. It was supposed that crystal water in the ground theophylline hydrate might exist at least in three molecular states of different hydrogen-bonding. From DSC study, it was suggested that the ruptured hydrogen bonds of water molecules in the ground theophylline hydrate were strengthened after storage under 96.5% relative humidity at 30 degrees C.

The challenging case of the theophylline–benzamide cocrystal

Theophylline has been used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the treatment of pulmonary diseases, but due to its low water solubility reveals very poor bioavailability. Based on its different hydrogen‐bond donor and acceptor groups, theophylline is an ideal candidate for the formation of cocrystals. The crystal structure of the 1:1 benzamide cocrystal of theophylline, C₇H₈N₄O₂·C₇H₇NO, was determined from synchrotron X‐ray powder diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4₁ with four independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The molecules form a hunter's fence packing. The crystal structure was confirmed by dispersion‐corrected DFT calculations. The possibility of salt formation was excluded by the results of Raman and ¹H solid‐state NMR spectroscopic analyses.     

Thermal stability and structure of a new co-crystal of theophylline formed with phthalic acid

A new co-crystal of theophylline and phthalic acid with 1:1 molar ratio has been prepared. It crystallises in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P2₁/c, a=11.5258(9), b=10.1405(6), c=13.9066(12) Å, β=106.827(4)°. The structure of the co-crystal has been revealed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. An infinite helical polymeric chain is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the two neutral constituents. The hydroxyl group and carbonyl oxygen atom in one of the carboxyl groups of phthalic acid form hydrogen bonds to O6 and to N(7)H atoms of theophylline, respectively, while the other carboxyl OH group of phthalic acid is in hydrogen bond to N9 atom of theophylline by very strong intermolecular interactions proven by 1883 cm^?1 centred peak in FTIR spectrum.Thermal degradation of this new supramolecular compound is a two-step process in air. At first phthalic acid (47.4%) released up to 230°C, meanwhile it loses water and transforms into phthalic anhydride. In EGA-MS spectra, the characteristic fragments of water (m/z=17, 18) appear from about 180°C, while absorption bands of phthalic anhydride are shown in EGA-FTIR spectrum at about 210°C. In the second step theophylline begins to sublime, melts at 276°C, and then evaporates up to 315°C with minute residues.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering sensor for theophylline determination by molecular imprinting on silver nanoparticles

A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensor for the determination of theophylline (THO) has been developed by imprinting the target molecules on the surface of silver nanoparticles. The desired recognition sites are generated after template removal and homogeneous distribution on the silver nanoparticles that have been incorporated within polymer matrix by the in situ reduction of theophylline-silver complexes, providing molecular recognition ability and SERS active surfaces. The theophylline molecules, complementary to the shape, size, and functionality of the recognition cavities, can selectively bind to the recognition sites at the surface of silver nanoparticles driven by the formation of hydrogen bonding and surface coordination. It has been demonstrated that the SERS signals of the theophylline molecules captured on the surface of the silver nanoparticles have a good reproducibility and a dose-response relationship to the target analytes, showing the potential for reliable identification and quantification of the bioactive compound. The molecular imprinting-based SERS sensor, like antibodies or enzymes, also possesses the ability to distinguish theophylline from the closely related structure caffeine due to the variations of molecular size and shape as well as the different affinity to silver ions.
