One-dimensional chain structure based on bifurcated hydrogen bonding

The structure of complex [PyH][Ni(mnt)₂], as determined by X-ray single crystal analysis, consists of pyridinium cations and [Ni(mnt)₂]^– anions. Crystallographic data for the complex: monoclinic P2₁/c, a = 16.5430(18) Å, b = 6.3847(9) Å, c = 17.430(2) Å, = 118.040(7)°, V = 1625.4(3) ų, Z = 4.

The compound is in tautomeric equilibrium (phenol-imine O–H···N and keto-amine O···H–N forms) in polar and nonpolar solvents. The keto-amine form is observed in basic solutions of DMSO, ethanol, chloroform, benzene, cyclohexane, and in acidic solutions of chloroform and benzene, but not in acidic solutions of DMSO and ethanol. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2₁/a with a = 7.010(5) Å, b = 13.669(4) Å, c = 12.764(4) Å, = 101.23(4)°, V = 1199.6(10) ų, Z = 4, D _c = 1.375 g/cm³, (Mo K) = 0.088 mm^–1, R = 0.045 for 1658 reflections [I > 2(I)].

There is a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond (O–H···N) of 2.529(2) Å.     

Helical chirality of 1-phenacyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromides

Evidence for non-coplanarity of the pyridine and pyridinium rings in a series of 1-phenacyl-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromides was gleaned from ¹H-NMR data recorded in DMSO-d ₆ solution. The X-ray structure of 1-(4-chlorophenacyl)-1,10-phenanthrolinium bromide, as representative of this series, was determined in order to establish whether such a molecular distortion occurs in the solid state. The title compound crystallizes in the space group C2/c as a sesquihydrate of formula C₂₀H₁₄BrClN₂O·1.5H₂O with a = 35.7348(3) Å, b = 5.3468(1) Å, c = 21.7312(2) Å, = 116.4076(4)° and Z = 8. In the crystal, the helical chirality is manifested as a pronounced twist in the phenanthrolinium moiety, with the pyridine and pyridinium rings inclined at 6.8(2)°. This distortion is attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding of type C–H···N involving the methylene group and the uncharged nitrogen atom of the phenanthrolinium moiety. In the crystal, the cations surround an intricate array of water molecules and bromide ions held together by O–H···Br^– hydrogen bonds and comprising infinite chains ···Br^–···H–O–H···Br^–···, cross-linked by water molecules.     

Crystal structure, thermal analysis, and IR spectrometric investigation of bis(tert-butylammonium) sulfate

Chemical preparation, X-ray single crystal, thermal analysis, and IR spectrometric investigation of (C₄H₁₂N)₂SO₄, denoted tBAS, are described.

The crystal structure of tBAS can be described as a typical thick layered organization built by all the components of the structure and centered by planes z = 1/4 and 3/4. Connection in these layers are established by N—H···O hydrogen bonds. Thermal analysis shows a reversible weak phase transition.     

Regiospecificity of nucleotide–amino acid mating vs. water dynamics: a key to protein–nucleic acid assemblies: structure of unidecahydrated inosine-5′-monophosphate and L–glutamic acid (2C10H13N4O8P·C5H11NO4·11H2O) cocrystal at atomic resolution

The crystal structure of a unidecahydrated cocomplex between two Inosine-5-monophosphates (IMP) and one L-glutamic acid has been determined by X-ray crystallographic methods. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁ with cell dimensions a = 8.650(1), b = 21.900(1), c = 12.370(1) Å, and = 110.4°(9). This structure reveals extensive hydrogen bonding of glutamic acid to the nucleotide through direct and water-mediated interactions. The phosphate oxygens (O3B and O1B) seem to prefer nonspecific interaction with the functional sites of glutamic acid (OE2 ······O1B = 1.78 Å, NA······O3B = 2.73 Å, OH······O3B = 3.06 Å), whereas the bases prefer specific (O······N3B = 2.88 Å) binding. A solvent mediated N7A···W5···N7B hydrogen bond used for stabilization of the stacked purine bases has been observed as in other amino acid–nucleotide cocrystals. Glutamic acid occupies the same hydrophilic region in the nucleotide cocrystal as was found in glutamine–inosine monophosphate (Gln–IMP) and in serine–inosine monophosphate (Ser–IMP) complexes through substantial replacement of free and bound water molecules. This points to the dynamic hydrogen bonding nature of the water molecules and their stereochemical cooperation for the placement of amino acid through the polycoordination within the crystal.

It is clear from the packing diagram that the title compound is a dimer via the secondary coordination. Surrounding Bi atom, three five-membered ring planes (Bi,O,N,C,S) make a dihedral angle of 55.91, 54.72, and 26.13° respectively. The whole crystal presents a three-dimensional network structure as each molecule produces four weak C–H O hydrogen bonds and a weak C–H S hydrogen bond.

Crystal and molecular structure of chloro(2,2′,2″-terpyridine)palladium(II)chloride dihydrate,C15H15Cl2N3O2Pd

The crystal and molecular structure of chloro(2,2,2-terpyridine)palladium(II)-chloride dihydrate, C₁₅H₁₅Cl₂N₃O₂Pd, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystals are orthorhombic: space groupPna2₁,a = 17·217(9),b = 14·026(8),c = 6·801(5) Å,Z = 4. Least-squares refinement of 2064 non-zero manually gathered diffractometer reflexions was carried out to a conventional unweightedR of 0·069. The molecule consists of a basically planar 4-coordinate [Pd(terpy)Cl]⁺ cation and a Cl^– anion. The molecules are packed in a layer structure in which the average separation is about 3·4 Å, the closest approach being 3·13 Å between a palladium atom and one of the nitrogen atoms of a neighboring molecule. Bond distances are within acceptable limits of predicted values. Deviations from planarity in the coordinated terpyridine ligand are presumably due to its steric limitations and are similar to those found in other terpyridine complexes.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants GP-7510 and GP-11776.
