Crystal and molecular structures of the copper dichloride complex with 1-isopropenylimidazole

Crystal and molecular structures of the [CuL₂Cl₂] complex (L is 1-isopropenylimidazole) (I) are determined (R = 0.038, (wR ₂ = 0.092 for 2026 reflections with F _o ≥ 4σ(F _o); R ₁ = 0.123, wR ₂ = 0.117 for all reflections)) and compared with the structure of the known cobalt complex of analogous composition [CoL₂Cl₂] (II). Unlike complex II with the usual tetrahedral environment of the cobalt atom, the structure of the coordination polyhedron of the copper atom in compound I is intermediate between tetrahedron and square (the average dihedral angle between the ClCuN planes is 35.9°, and the ClCuCl (147.5°) and NCuN (163.1°) angles are much larger than the ClCuN angle of 90.1°–93.1°). The Cu-N (1.975(3), 1.959(3) Å) and Cu-Cl bonds (2.291(1), 2.278(1) Å) in complex I are typical of the copper(II) compounds. Different spatial structures of the 1-alkenylimidazole cycles in complexes I and II are found. Different short intermolecular contacts in crystals of compounds I (Cu…Cl, Cu…H) and II (Cl…C) result in the formation of chains with different mutual arrangements of molecules of the complexes.     

Crystal and molecular structures of dicyclohexyltin dichloride and dibromide

The crystal structures of (C₆H₁₁)₂SnCl₂ (A) and (C₆H₁₁)₂SnBr₂ (B) have been determined. The compounds are isomorphous, and the molecules have nearly the same geometry. In both cases the coordination can be regarded as tetrahedral on the basis of the geometrical parameters. The data are critically analysed with that published for analogous compounds.

Crystal and molecular structures of two europium(III) nitrate complexes with triphenylphosphine oxide

The X-ray structures of the complexes Eu(NO₃)(Ph₃PO)₃(acetone)₂ (A) (Ph₃PO = triphenylphosphine oxide) and Eu(NO₃)₃(Ph₃PO)₂(ethanol) (B) have been solved by the heavy-atom method, by using the three-dimensional Patterson-Fourier synthesis. The crystals are both monoclinic and belong to the space group P2₁/n, with Z = 4. The cell dimensions are: a = 27.825(4) Å, b = 19.422(4) Å, c = 11.238(2) Å, β = 94.9(3)° for A; and a = 22.193(4) Å, b = 10.866(2) Å, c = 17.101(3) Å, β = 105.6(3)° for B. In both complexes the europium(III) ion is ennea-coordinated to three chelate nitrate groups and three oxygens of the Ph₃PO ligands for A and two of the Ph₃PO and one of the ethanol for B. The acetone molecules of A are outside the coordination sphere of the metal and disordered.     

NMR spectra of paramagnetic complexes of 1-vinylimidazole with iron group metals

The high-resolution ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 1-vinylimidazole complexes with iron group metals were recorded. The contact coupling in these systems was established in the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The applicability of the NMR spectra transformed by long-range hyperfine coupling for elucidating the molecular structure of the ligand was shown. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Crystal structures of cyclodextrin complexes with chiral molecules

The chiral recognition by cyclodextrins and permethylated cyclodextrins have been investigated on the basis of the X-ray data of crystalline inclusion complexes. The macrocyclic ring of - and -cyclodextrin shows a round and symmetrical structure. -Cyclodextrin includes racemic 1-phenylethanol with the statistical disorder of the hydroxyl group. A pair of the R- and S-isomers of flurbiprofen are included within the cylindrical cavity formed by dimeric -cyclodextrin molecules with a head-to-head arrangement. The macrocyclic ring of permethylated cyclodextrins is remarkably distorted from the regular polygonal symmetry and has more flexibility in the conformational change than cyclodextrins. Owing to the distorted conformation and steric hindrance involving methyl groups, permethylated cyclodextrins do not equally include both isomers, as demonstrated by the permethylated -cyclodextrin complexes with mandelic acids. Permethylated -cyclodextrin binds D-mandelic acid more tightlyvia a host-guest hydrogen bond and induced-fit conformational change. Permethylated -cyclodextrin forms a hydrated crystalline complex with R-flurbiprofen, but S-flurbiprofen forms a non-hydrated crystalline complex. Significant differences between the two complexes are found in the orientation of the phenyl group and hydrogen-bond formation involving the carboxyl group.     

Stereoelectronic influence of the type of bifunctional ansa-monocyclopentadienyldimethylsilylamido ligand on the molecular structures displayed by zirconium dichloride and 1,4-diphenylbutadiene complexes

A series of organozirconium dichloride and 1,4-diphenylbutadiene complexes featuring a dianionic bifunctional ligand with a cyclopentadienyl-type functionality and an appended amido N donor have been prepared and structurally characterized. [(C(5)H(4))SiMe(2)(N-t-Bu)]ZrCl(2), 1, [(C(9)H(6))SiMe(2)(N-t-Bu)]ZrCl(2), 2, and [(C(5)Me(4))SiMe(2)(N-i-Pr)]ZrCl(2), 3, were prepared in two steps, with ligand chelation accomplished by an amine elimination reaction followed by treatment of the diamido Zr intermediate with an excess of SiMe(3)Cl. X-ray structural analyses reveal that in the solid state 2 is monomeric, whereas 1 and 3 are centrosymmetric dimers linked by a pair of bridging chlorides. The level of asymmetry displayed by the central Zr(2)(micro-Cl)(2) moiety is indicated by the variation in the pair of independent bridging Zr-Cl bond distances, which are 2.618(1) and 2.657(1) A in 1 and 2.542(1) and 2.745(1) A in 3, respectively. The metathetical reactions of [Mg(C(4)H(4)Ph(2))(THF)(3)](n)() with 1, 2, 3, and [(C(5)Me(4))SiMe(2)(N-t-Bu)]ZrCl(2) proceed to afford the corresponding 1,4-diphenylbutadiene derivatives 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively. Solution NMR data show that 6 is obtained exclusively as the supine isomer, whereas compounds 4, 5, and 7 exist as >20:1, 6:1, and 2:1 mixtures of the supine and prone isomers at ambient temperature. The molecular structures of the supine forms of 4, 5, 6, and 7 are appreciably folded (70-80 degrees ) along the line of intersection between the plane containing the Zr and the two terminal butadiene carbons and the plane of the cis-butadiene fragment. An increase in the folding is accompanied by a decrease in the difference between the average Zr-C(terminal) and Zr-C(internal) bond distances and leads to a more pronounced long-short-long C-C bond sequence within the coordinated butadiene.
