Preparation and structures of some new 1H-pyrazole derivatives

Some new 3,5-diaryl-1H-pyrazoles were prepared from aryl methyl ketones via Claisen condensation with aromatic esters and followed by cyclization with hydrazine monohydrate. Their structures were confirmed by IR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The X-ray structure for 3(5)-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5(3)-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazole (2b) was presented. The results show that compound 2b exists as tautomers I and II, and its molecules are connected by the N–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form cyclic dimers consisting of the tautomers I and II.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of dehydrated, deaminated, and dealuminated zeolite Y (FAU): single-crystal structure of |Na33H26(Al5O4)|[Si126Al66O384]-FAU

Host–guest complexes of Docetaxel 1, an anti-cancer drug have been isolated and crystal structures are described. Docetaxel crystallized in the 1:1 molar ratio with n-butanol, dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetonitrile (ACN) during crystallization from the respective solvents. In all the three complexes (1 · n-butanol, 1 · DMF and 1 · ACN), docetaxel formed a host framework through hydrogen bonds and the guest solvent molecules occupied the channels. The host is hydrogen bonded to the guest molecules through hydroxyl moieties. Interestingly, 1 · n-butanol, 1 · DMF and a literature 1 · CH₃OH · H₂O (1:1:1) host–guest complexes are isomorphs. Further, 1 · ACN complex unit cell parameters are similar (same space group) to the marketed docetaxel trihydrate polymorph (form A).     

Heterocyclic quinol-type fluorophores. Part 9: Effect of forming a continuous intermolecular hydrogen bonding chain between fluorophores on the solid-state fluorescence properties

Three heterocyclic quinol-type fluorophores with benzo[c]carbazol-6-one skeleton or benzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]furan-6-one skeleton, 9-dibutylamino-5-hydroxy-5-phenyl-5,7-dihydro-benzo[c]carbazol-6-one (5a), 7-butyl-9-dibutylamino-5-hydroxy-5-phenyl-5,7-dihydro-benzo[c]carbazol-6-one (5b) and 9-dibutylamino-5-hydroxy-5-phenyl-5H-benzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]furan-6-one (6c) have been synthesized and their photophysical properties have been investigated in solution and in the solid state. The fluorescence quantum yield (Φ) increases in the order of 5b (0.35)<5a (0.41)<6c (0.74) in 1,4-dioxane. On the other hand, the Φ value in the solid state increases in the order of 5a<<6C (0.03)<5b (0.07), which are much smaller than those in 1,4-dioxane. To elucidate the effects of molecular and crystal structures on the solid-state fluorescence properties, we have performed the semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations (AM1 and INDO/S) and X-ray crystallographic analysis. It was found that the formation of a continuous intermolecular hydrogen bonding between adjacent fluorophores is observed in the crystal of 5a, which is considered to cause a drastic fluorescence quenching in the solid state.     

2-N-Tosylaminobenzaldehyde ferrocenoylhydrazone and its nickel(II) complex: Molecular and crystal structures

2-N-Tosylaminobenzaldehyde ferrocenoylhydrazone (H₂L) and the octahedral nickel(II) complex [Ni(HL)₂] · 2CH₃OH (I) are synthesized and structurally characterized (CIF files CCDC 981876 (H₂L) and 981877 (I)). The crystal structures of both compounds include two independent molecules with different mutual orientations of the tosyl and ferrocene fragments. In a single crystal of H₂L, the independent molecules are joined by intermolecular hydrogen bonds into infinite linear chains extended along the crystallographic axis x. The π-stacking interaction between the cyclopentadienyl rings is observed along with hydrogen bonds in a single crystal of complex I.     

Structurally diverse complexes from a bifunctional benzimidazole-carboxylate ligand

Three new complexes, namely {Ag₂(Hmbbc)₂(SO₃CF₃)₂}_n (1), Ag₂(Hmbbc)₂(NO₃)₂(DMF)₂(CH₃OH) (2), and Hg₂(Hmbbc)₂(I)₄(DMF)₂ (3) were constructed by the reaction of 4′-[4-methyl-6-(1-methyl-1H-benzimidazolyl-l-2-group)-2-n-propyl-1H-benzimidazolyl methyl]-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid (Hmbbc) with Ag(I) or Hg(II) salts under solvothermal or solution reactions. In the complexes, the Hmbbc ligand exhibits different coordination modes, giving various crystal architectures. X-ray analysis demonstrates that 1 has a 2D layer structure, while 2 and 3 are binuclear. All three complexes are further extended into 3D supramolecular architectures through hydrogen bonds and π···π interactions. They exhibit luminescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.     

X-ray crystal structures and conformational analysis of cyclic acetals derived from tartaric acid and rigid spacer units

Three tartaric ester and tartaric acid derivatives (1?C3) with the hydroxy groups being linked via cyclic acetal (1,3-dioxolane) formation to a rigid core, containing phenyl and ethynyl units, have been synthesized. Their crystal structures are reported, emphasizing the molecular geometry, intermolecular interactions, and the resulting packing motifs. All dioxolane rings present in the crystal structures of 1?C3 are analyzed and compared with regard to their conformational behavior. In spite of similar substitution patterns, the dioxolane units adopt different conformations including twist and varying envelope isomers. The crystal structures are dominated by C?CH···O (esters 1 and 2) and O?CH···O (acid 3) hydrogen bonds, leading to different types of packing motifs being characteristic of strand and layer formation.     

Crystalline inclusion compounds derived from bulky organosilicon hosts – design, synthesis, structure and stability

New organosilicon compounds 1–3 featuring bulky triphenylsilyl moieties attached to rigid linear or trigonal spacer units have been synthesized and demonstrated to act as clathrate hosts, yielding crystalline inclusion compounds mostly with apolar and aprotic dipolar guest molecules, while the nonbulky dimethylphenylsilyl or trimethylsilyl substituted analogous compounds 4 and 5, which were also synthesized, proved inefficient. X-ray crystal structures of the inclusion compounds 1·DMF (1:1), 1·pyridine (1:1), 2·1,4-dioxane (2:1), 2·pyridine (2:1), 2·p-xylene (2:1), 2·H₂O (2:1) as well as of the unsolvated compounds 2 and 5 are described, and thermal stability studies of selected clathrates are reported.     

Synthesis, structural characterization, and anion binding ability of sterically congested adamantane-calix[4]pyrroles and adamantane-calixphyrins

Novel adamantane derivatives of calix[4]pyrroles 4-8 and calixphyrin 9 have been synthesized. The structure of 8 has been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and the structure of 9 by single crystal X-ray analysis. Whereas calixphyrin 9 does not bind anions, analogous calyx[4]pyrrole 8 forms a complex with Cl⁻ in the DMSO solution and in the solid state. The solid state complexation has been accomplished on grinding in a mill, which is the first example of complex formation with an anion in the solid state.     

Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure, and luminescence of a novel tetranuclear zinc(ii) complex

A new tetranuclear zinc(II) complex [Zn₄(tmphen)₄(tbip)₄(H₂O)₄] (1, tmphen = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, H₂tbip = 5-tert-butyl isophthalic acid) is hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and IR spectroscopy. In complex 1, four tbip^2? ligands act as bridges between four neighboring Zn atoms to form an unusual tetranuclear zinc cluster. The clusters are further connected by two types of O-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. Meanwhile, π-π stacking interactions and C-H…π interactions further consolidate the three-dimensional supramolecular framework of 1. In addition, the luminescence measurements reveal that complex 1 exhibits strong fluorescent emissions in the solid state at room temperature.     

Adamantane-retropeptides, new building blocks for molecular channels

Novel adamantane-oxalamide derivatives, N,N′-bis(1-adamantylglycine methyl ester)oxalamide (meso-1 and rac-1), N,N′-bis(3-aminoadamantane-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester)oxalamide (2) and N,N′-bis(3-aminoadamantane-1-carboxylic acid)oxalamide (3) were prepared and structurally characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray analysis. Crystal packing of the structures meso-1 and rac-1 is defined by one-dimensional α-networks of hydrogen-bonded chains. The crystal structures of 2 and 3 are characterized by two-dimensional β-networks of hydrogen bonds. The oxalamide 3 crystallizes as the solvates only. In the crystal structure of 3 the protic solvent participates in hydrogen bonding with the oxalamide moieties. However, in non-protic solvents 3 crystallizes as a solvate but the solvent does not participate in hydrogen bonding. The two-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds connecting molecules of 3 generates channels, which are filled by discrete solvent molecules.     

Structure of benzo- and dibenzocrown ethers and their H-bonded adducts. 4. Structural motifs in the 2,4-dithiouracil complexes with 4-bromo- and 4-nitrobenzo-18-crown-6, [2.4]dibenzo- and thia[1.5]dibenzo-18-crown-6

Four novel complexes of 2,4-dithiouracil (pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dithione, DTU) with 18-membered benzo- and dibenzo-crown ethers were synthesized in approximately the same conditions and studied by single crystal diffraction. Hydrogen bonding was observed to be the most important for the complexation in the solid state but π–π interactions also contribute to it. The crystalline monohydrates of the 1:1:1 stoichiometry are recorded for 4-bromo- and 4-nitrobenzo-18-crown-6 (complexes 1 and 2), while complexes with [2.4]dibenzo- and thia[1.5]dibenzo-18-crown-6 (complexes 3 and 4) represent anhydrous adducts of the 2:2 ratio. The crystal structures reveal three supramolecular structural motifs: the alternative chain for the ternary complex 1 and two types of capsules for complexes 2?4 where the DTU dimers are encapsulated inside the space restricted by two crown molecules.     

Anion-directed organized assemblies of protonated pyrazole-based ionic salts

The reactions of 3(5)-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5(3)-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (L ¹ ) with nitric acid and 5-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)-3-(furan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole(L ² ) with hydrochloric acid produced [HL ¹ · NO₃] (Salt-1) and [HL ² · Cl] (Salt-2). The structures of Salt-1 and Salt-2 were determined by single crystal X-diffraction. In Salt-1, HL ¹ showed [2 + 2] binding of NO₃ ^? ions in the solid state to form dimer architecture with R ₁ ² (4) and R ₄ ⁴ (14) graph sets. An anion directed one-dimensional anion-assisted helical chain with active participation of the chloride ion and protonated pyrazole via N–H···Cl hydrogen bonding in Salt-2. In addition, the protonated HL ² molecules interacted with each other through weak C–H···π interactions resulting in the formation of another one-dimensional helical chain.     

Zur Kenntnis der Struktur der Chalkon-Guanidin-Kondensate Über Heterocyclen, 75. Mitt.

Guanidine reacts with chalkone1 a, 4-methylchalkone1 b and 4′-methylchalkone1 c resp. to yield mixtures of pyrimidinamines2 a,3 b and3 c (=3 b) resp. with (2:1)-condensatesA,B andC resp. The structures of the compoundsA-C (whicha priori could be dihydropyrimidopyrimidines4 a-c or5 a-c or6 a-c) are elucidated. NMR-investigations show that the saltsA-C · HCl must be symmetrically substituted pyrimidopyrimidinyliumchlorides4 a-c · HCl or5 a-c · HCl (and not6 a-c · HCl). Furthermore, it is proved by chemical methods that the condensatesB · HCl andC · HCl are pyrimidopyrimidinyliumchlorides4 b andc · HCl (and not5 b andc · HCl): The structure ofB · HCl (=4 b · HCl) was established by total synthesis of dimethylpyrimidopyrimidinyliumpicrate9 b-Pi from10 c (via13 c · HI-18 · HCl) and transformation ofB · HCl into an identical salt9 b-Pi via hexahydropyrimidopyrimidine8 b · HCl. The structure ofC · HCl (=4 c · HCl) was determined by comparison of its hydrogenation product (=8c · HCl) with8 b · HCl. The structure of condensateA · HCl (=4 a · HCl) results from conclusion by analogy. The spatial structure of4 a-c · HCl and8 a-c · HCl is discussed; it was established by NMR that the salts are racemic mixtures of stereoisomers4 a-c K · HCl and8 a-c K · HCl resp. and their antipodes (with C₂ symmetry).     

Three-dimensional supramolecular architecture based on 4,4′-methylene-bis(benzenamine) and aromatic carboxylic acid guests: Synthons cooperation, robust motifs and structural diversity

The two-component solid forms involving 4,4??-methylene-bis(benzenamine) included both salts and co-crystals, while 4,4??-methylene-bis(benzenamine) crystallized exclusively as a salt, in agreement with the differences in the pK _a values. Many of the crystal structures displayed either the neutral or the ionic form of the carboxylic acid-amino heterosynthon, and the similarity in crystal structures between the neutral and the ionized molecules makes the visual distinction between a salt and co-crystal dependent on the experimental location of the acidic proton. A variety of supramolecular hydrogen bonded motifs involving interactions between the aza molecules and carboxylic acid groups are observed rather than just the O-H??N/O-H??O motif. The motifs are identical in all the two compounds analyzed showing the robustness of these supramolecular synthons. In all adducts, recognition between the constituents is established through either N-H??O and/or O-H??O/O-H??N pairwise hydrogen bonds. In all adducts, COOH functional groups available on 1 and 2 interact with the N-donor compounds. The COOH moieties in 1 forms only single N-H??O hydrogen bonds, whereas in 2, it forms pairwise O-H??N/N-H??O hydrogen bonds. The supramolecular architectures are elegant and simple, with stacking of networks in 2, but a rather complex network with a threefold interpenetration pattern was found in 1. Thermal stability of these compounds has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of mass loss.

Dianionic complexes with hexacoordinate silicon(IV) or germanium(IV) and three bidentate ligands of the salicylato(2–) type: Syntheses and structural characterization in the solid state and in solution

Reaction of tetramethoxysilane or tetramethoxygermane with salicylic acid and morpholine (molar ratio 1:3:2) in tetrahydrofuran yielded morpholiniummer-tris[salicylato(2–)-O¹,O³]silicate(mer -5) and morpholiniummer-tris[salicylato(2–)-O¹,O³]germanate (mer-8), respectively. Treatment of tetramethoxysilane with 5-chlorosalicylic acid and piperidine (molar ratio 1:3:2) in tetrahydrofuran afforded piperidinium mer-tris[5-chlorosalicylato(2–)-O¹,O³]silicate–ditetrahydrofuran (mer-6·2THF). Triethylammonium mer-tris[3-methylsalicylato(2–)-O¹,O³]silicate (mer-7) was obtained analogously by reaction of tetramethoxysilane with three molar equivalents of 3-methylsalicylic acid and two molar equivalents of triethylamine in dichloromethane/diethyl ether. The racemic compounds mer-5, mer-6· 2THF,mer-7, and mer-8 were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as solid-state (²⁹Si) and solution(¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si) NMR studies. The structural characterizationwas complemented by computational studies (HF studies, TZVP level) of thefac- and mer-tris[salicylato(2–)-O¹,O³]silicatedianion. In addition, the behavior of mer-7 in solution was studied by VT ¹HNMR experiments.     

Guest inclusion in cyclic imides containing flexible tethers

Guest inclusion properties of two cyclic imides which have carboxylic acids connected through flexible tether, namely, 4-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-ylmethyl)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (1) and 4-(1,3-dioxo-1H,3H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2-ylmethyl)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (2) are studied. The crystals of host 1 containing one molecule of 1, the crystals of 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy) cocrystal of 1 containing one molecule of 1 and half molecule of bpy (1a), the crystals of 1,4-dioxane solvate of 1 containing two molecule of 1 and one and half molecule of 1,4-dioxane (1b) and the crystals of quinoline solvate of 1 containing one molecule of 1 and one molecule of quinoline (1c) in their crystallographic asymmetric units are investigated. Intermolecular hydrogen bonded two dimensional (2D) sheet structure of 1 and 3D channel network of 1b are comprised of cyclic R ₂ ² (8) hydrogen bond motifs; whereas cleavage of dimeric carboxylic acid R ₂ ² (8) motifs occurs in the structures of 1a and 1c in which 3D host–guest networks are comprised of discrete O–H···N and cyclic R ₂ ² (7) interactions, respectively. Various types of weak interactions between the two symmetry nonequivalent host molecule are found to be responsible for the formation of channels (14 × 11 Å) filled by guest 1,4-dioxane molecules in the crystal lattice of 1b. Two different solvates of 2 containing one molecule of 2 with a water molecule (2a) and one molecule of 2 with a quinoline molecule (2b) in their crystallographic asymmetric units, respectively, are also crystallized in different space groups. The quinoline molecules are held with host molecules by discrete O–H···N and C–H···O interactions and reside inside the voids formed by 3D repeated hexameric assemblies of host molecules in the crystal lattice of 2b.

Guanine affords mainly the lin. condensation product [(6-methyl-9-oxo-imidazo[1.2-a]-purin-7-yl)-methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide (3) and the angular tricyclic product [(6-methyl-9-oxo-imidazo[2.1-b]purin-5-yl)-methyl]-triphenylphosphonium bromide (4). For comparison we synthesized the angular condensed heterocycle5, (6.8-dimethyl-9-oxo-imidazo[2.1-b]purin-5-yl)-methyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide, by reaction of 1-methylguanine with1, and the corresponding linear derivative6 [(4.6-dimethyl-9-oxo-imidazo[1.2-a]purin-7-yl)-methyl]-triphenylphosphoniumbromide from 3-methylguanine and1. AHofmann-type degradation of3 with the anion of diethyl malonate led to7, diethyl (6-methyl-9-oxo-imidazo[1.2-a]purin-7-yl)-methylmalonate, a compound whose structure resembles some Y-bases in t-RNA.Wittig reaction of the silylated nucleoside derivative8 a {[2-methyl-5-oxo-6-(2′.3′.5′-tris-trimethylsilyl)-ribofuranosyl-imidazo[1.2-c]pyrimidin-3-yl]methyl}-triphenylphosphonium bromide, with C₆H₅CHO resulted in the 2-methyl-3(ω-styryl)-6[2′.3′.5′-tris-(trimethylsilyl)]ribofuranosyl-imidazo[1.2-c] pyrimidin-5-one (9).

Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure of two new coordination polymer {[Ni2(Imazameth)2(4,4′-Bipy)] · (ClO4) · CH2OH · H2O} n and [Cu2(PDA)1.5(2,2-Bipy)2](H2O)5(NO3)

Two new metal-organic coordination polymers framework formulated as [Cu₂(PDA)_1.5(2,2′-Bipy)₂](H₂O)₅(NO₃) (I) and {[Ni₂(Imazameth)₂(4,4′-Bipy)] · (ClO₄) · CH₂OH · H₂O _n (II), where H₂PDA = 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid, 2,2′-Bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, Imazameth = (+/?)2-(4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-5-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, 4,4′-Bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, have been prepared and characterized by spectral method (IR), elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Complex I consists of one-dimensional ladder-like chains featuring binuclear unit in which the two Cu²⁺ ions have different coordination geometry: one is five-coordinated, the other is six-coordinated. Complex II is a new two-dimensional copper complex with the peculiarity of having the 4,4′-Bipy ligand and Imazameth ligand acting as bridge to form planar network polymer. Both I and II exist abundant hydrogen bonds. It is result in the formation of a supermolecular crystal, in which they seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
