Complexes of azobisindoles with π-organic acceptors

Complexes of azobisindoles with tetracyanoethylene and tetracyanoquinodimethane were studied by UV-Vis, FT-IR, Raman, NMR and X-ray spectroscopies. FT-IR and Raman spectra, as well as X-ray analysis, gave useful information on the participation of various sites to the association, through analysis of CN and N=N vibrational modes, while UV-Vis and NMR spectra were less helpful. The crystal structure of complexes 1-ethyl-2-phenyl-3-(1-ethyl-2-phenyl-3-azoindole)indole/TCNE,3a and 1,2-diphenyl-3-(1,2-diphenyl-3-azoindole)indole/TCNQ,5b are reported. In the two complexes, the distances between donor and acceptor planes range between 3.4 and 3.5 Å; in3a tetracyanoethylene faces the phenyl ring of the indole, while in5b the superposition of tetracyanoquinodimethane with the donor is negligible.

FinalR=0.083 for 1632 independent observed reflections having 2 (Mo K)<50° andI>2 (I). The molecule has an extended overall nonplanar conformation with onecis and twotrans-C(O)-NH- units and intramolecular hydrogen bridges. The relatively highR factor is on account of conformational disorder of the trifluoromethyl and chloro substituents of the 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropenyl moiety.

Compounds (I) and (II) have a similar geometry, the only significant difference lying in the rotation of the nitrovinyl chain. This feature could be responsible for the difference in biological activity. In both compounds, the molecules are associated, forming charge-transfer complexes.     

4- and 5-nitroindane

Mononitration of indane produces a mixture of 4- and 5- nitroindanes. Crystallization from mixtures occurs after distillation improves composition of a major component to above 80%. 4-Nitroindane: triclinic, space group (#2),a=7.332(4) Å,b=8.304(4) Å,c=8.358(4) Å, =61.43(4)°, =67.60(4)°, =70.15(4)°,V=405.4(4) ų,Z=2. Non-H-atoms are nearly planar, aliphatic H's are eclipsed. 5-Nitroindane: monoclinic, space groupP2₁/c (#14),a=10.946(8) Å,b=15.643(10) Å,c=9.415(6) Å, =92.34(5)°,V=1611(2) ų,Z=8. Non-H-atoms in the two molecules differ in torsion of the nitro group with respect to indane and fold of the nonbenzylic methylene group. Semiempirical calculations (PM3) suggest that distorsion from planarity may be associated with the two lowest energy vibrational modes. Uv, ir, ms, proton, and¹³C-nmr spectra are correlated with the solid state structures.

A structural study of sodium dithionite and its ephemeral dihydrate: A new conformation for the dithionite ion

Raman spectroscopy on solid anhydrous sodium dithionite reveals that it exists in at least two forms in the solid state. MAS²³Na NMR spectra and X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the solids indicate that sodium ions are in different environments in each form of the material. The results suggest that the dithionite anion is conformationally different in each lattice. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the recrystallized form of anhydrous sodium dithionite reveals an anion with C₂ geometry and a 16° O-S-S-O torsional angle; nearly eclipsed.

Raman spectra of sodium dithionite dihydrate reveal that the dithionite ion is in a different conformation than in either of the anhydrous materials. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of Na₂S₂O₄·2H₂O reveals a dithionite anion with a substantially shorter S-S bond length than in the anhydrous structure and an O-S-S-O torsional angle of 56°; approximately gauche.
