X-Ray Diffraction Study of Some Liquid Naphthalene Derivatives

Abstract

The structure of the liquids 1-Methylnaphthalene C₁₀H₇—CH₃ and 1-Chloronaphthalene C₁₀H₇—Cl was investigated using X-ray diffraction at 293 K. Monochromatic radiation MoK_α (λ = 0.7107Å) enabled determination of the scattered radiation inteasity between S₀ = 4\pi sin υ₀/λ = 0.430 Å^?1 and S _max = 14.311 Å-1. Angular distributions of X-ray scattered intensity were measured, and differential radial distribution functions of electron density (DRDFs) were calculated. The mean distances between the neighbouring molecules and the ranges of the spheres of intermolecular ordering were found. X-ray structural analysis was applied for determination of the packing coefficient of molecules of the liquids studied. A simple model of short-range arrangement of the molecules was proposed, which seems to be valid for other weakly polar monosubstituted naphthalene derivatives in the liquid phase.     

Experimental and theoretical studies of small-angle electron scattering by the water molecule

The total (elastic plus inelastic) intensities of 51 keV electrons scattered by water molecules have been measured over a range of 1 ≦ K = (4π/λ) sin(θ/2) ≦ 12 Å^?1. A computer program, ELIC, has been written for calculating the total intensities of electrons scattered by free molecules. The intensities can be calculated with self-consistent field and configuration interaction wavefunctions. The theoretical intensities based on a CI wavefunction are in good agreement with the observed intensities.     

Small-angle electron scattering by formaldehyde and ketene: Effects of electron correlation and chemical binding

The total (elastic plus inelastic) intensities of 51 keV electrons scattered by H₂CO and H₂CCO have been measured over a range of K = (4π/λ) sin(θ/2) = 1–9.5 Å^?1 and compared with the theoretical intensities calculated with SCF and CI wave functions. Significant discrepancies are found between the experimental intensities and the theoretical ones based on the SCF wave functions. Most of the chemical binding and electron correlation effects observed in the total scattered intensities are reproduced by the theoretical intensities based on the CI wave functions calculated with the basis set including polarization functions on all atoms. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

X-ray scattering by water molecules studied by using synchrotron radiation

The energy spectra of free water molecules were measured at scattering angles 2θ ranging from 10.5° to 75.7°, using an angle-dispersive-type diffractometer and synchrotron radiation as an X-ray source. A silicon (111) monochrometer was used to obtain incident X-rays with the wavelengths of (1.543/n) Å (n = 1,3,4,5). Observed inelastic scattering peaks are clearly separated from eleastic ones at s values [s = (4π/λ) sin Å] larger than 8 Å^?1. The increase of the separation with an increasing s value was consistent with the classical theory of the Compton shift. The total (elastic plus inelastic) intensities were obtained over a range of s = 0.74–5.0 Å^?1. Experimental difference intensities Δσ_ee and Δσ_ne were obtained separately by combining the X-ray and high-energy electron scattering data. The experimental results are in reasonable agreement with the theoretical intensities calculated from SCF and CI molecular wave functions with a basis set of double-zeta plus polarization functions. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A 1D coordination polymer {Pb[C6H4(COO)2][phen]} n with strong blue fluorescent emission

The hydrothermal reaction of 1,3-dicyanobenzene, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and Pb(CH₃COO)₂ yields a new 1D coordination polymer, {Pb[C₆H₄(COO)₂][phen]} _n . The 1,3-benzenecarboxylate anion found in the final product was generated in situ during the synthesis by hydrolysis of 1,3-dicyanobenzene. X-ray diffraction shows that complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P 1, a?=?7.5442(2)?Å, b?=?9.7962(3)?Å, c?=?13.1505(4)?Å, α?=?69.739(2)?Å, β?=?80.597(2)?Å, γ?=?71.377(2)?Å, v?=?862.48(4)?ų, Z?=?2, D _c?=?2.124 Mg?m^?3.

Molekül- und Kristallstruktur von 9λ4-Thia-2,4,6,8,10,11-hexaza-1λ5,3λ5,5λ5,7λ5-tetraphosphabicylo[5.3.1]undeca-1,3,5,7(11),8,9-hexaen,einem schwefeldiimidoüberbrückten Cyclotetraphosphazen

Molecular and Crystal Structure of 9λ⁴-Thia-2,4,6,8,10,11-hexaaza-1λ⁵,3λ⁵,5λ⁵,7λ⁵-tetraphosphabicylo[5.3.1]undeca-1,3,5,7(11),8,9-hexaene, Cyclotetraphosphazene Bridged by a Sulfur Diimide Group We have carried out an X-ray structure analysis of the title compound ( 1 ). 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/b with a = 9.436(4), b = 20.102(7), c = 11.622(5) Å, γ = 103.52(8)°, Z = 8. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit, which in approximation can be transformed one into the other by additional symmetry elements of a substructure of a space group B2/b. The S = N bond lengths are 1.53 Å. The P? N bonds connecting the SN₂ system are 1.666 Å long. They are significantly longer than the P? N multible bonds in the P₄N₄ ring within a range of 1.517 to 1.565 Å. The sulfur diimide unit and its substituents are coplanar causing a half-boat conformation of the heterocyclic six membered ring. The cyclotetraphosphazene ring shows a flattened crown-saddle conformation, the phosphorous atoms arranged nearly at the corners of a square. Influenced by crystal packing there exist small deviations from the molecular mirror plane and also differences in conformation between the two molecules of the asymmetric unit.     

The supramolecular assembly of tetraaqua-(pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylato)-copper(II) complex: crystal structure,TD-DFT approach,electronic spectra,and photoluminescence study

The copper(II) complex, {[Cu(2,5-pdc)(H₂O)₄]·H₂O} (1) [2,5-pdc?=?pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate], has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography.

The complexes are efficient catalysts for oxidation of olefins.     

α-Keggin tungstogermanate-supported transition metal complexes: hydrothermal synthesis,characterization, and magnetism of Cu2(phen)4(GeW12O40) and [Ni2(bpy)4(H2O)2(GeW12O40)]⋅2H2O

Two new α-Keggin polyoxometalates, [Cu₂(phen)₄(GeW₁₂O₄₀)] (1) and [Ni₂(bpy)₄(H₂O)₂(GeW₁₂O₄₀)]·2H₂O (2) (phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline, bpy?=?2,2′-bipyridine), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TG, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and magnetic properties.

An organic–inorganic polymer with Keggin-type polyoxoanions as building blocks: preparation,characterization and crystal structure of {H[Ba(DMF)6PMo12O40]·(dma)} n

A novel organic–inorganic polymer of {H[Ba(DMF)₆(PMo₁₂O₄₀)]·(dma)} _n (dma?=?dimethylamine, DMF?=?N,N-dimethylformamide) has been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis indicates that the title compound crystallizes in a monoclinic lattice, C2/c with a?=?22.336(5), b?=?12.798(3), c?=?21.498(4)?Å, β?=?99.77(3)°, Z?=?4, V?=?6065(2)?ų, D _c ?=?2.673?Mg?m^?3, F(000)?=?4620, R ₁?=?0.0600, wR ₂?=?0.1125. Crystal structural analysis reveals that Ba²⁺ ion lies in a distorted square antiprismatic environment with eight oxygen atoms, six from DMF molecules and two from adjacent polyanions. [Ba(DMF)₆]²⁺ ions coordinated to [PMo₁₂O₄₀]^3? building blocks form a 1D corrugated chain. The results of the single crystal X-ray diffraction and IR spectra show the metal cations are coordinated to Keggin clusters. The ESR spectra show that the title compound is strongly photosensitive towards sunlight. Cyclic voltammetry shows that the title compound undergoes five two-electron reversible reductions and the [PMo₁₂O₄₀]^3? anions are the active centers for electrochemical redox reactions in solution.     

Syntheses,crystal structures,and antimicrobial activities of nickel(II) and cadmium(II) complexes with 4-methylsulfonyl cinnamate and diamines

Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystal parameters of 1: C₂₆H₃₈N₄NiO₈S₂, M?=?657.43, monoclinic, P2₁/c, a?=?16.6123(8)?Å, b?=?8.5956(4)?Å, c?=?11.2047(5)?Å, β?=?107.423(1)°, V?=?1526.54(12)?ų, Z?=?2, D _calcd?=?1.430?g?cm^?3, F(000)?=?692, μ?=?0.825?mm^?1, R ₁?=?0.0257, wR ₂?=?0.0669. Crystal data of 2: C₂₈H₄₂CdN₄O₈S_2?·?2(H₂O), M?=?775.24, monoclinic, P2₁/c, a?=?9.8278(4)?Å, b?=?11.6611(5)?Å, c?=?15.3972(7)?Å, β?=?96.195(1)°, V?=?1754.26(13)?ų, Z?=?2, D _calcd?=?1.468?g?cm^?3, F(000)?=?804, μ?=?0.798?mm^?1, R ₁?=?0.0299, wR ₂?=?0.0770. Antimicrobial activities for 1 and 2 against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus cereus had better antibacterial activity than their parent carboxylic acid against Gram-positive bacteria (B. subtilis and B. cereus). The cadmium complex of the cinnamate displayed high inhibitory activity with an MIC value of 5?µg?mL^?1 against P. putida, while the nickel complex also exhibited good inhibitory potency with an MIC value of 5?µg?mL^?1 against B. subtilis.     

A new high-spin iron(III) bis(aqua) complex with the <Emphasis Type="Italic">meso</Emphasis>-tetra(para-chlorophenyl)porphyrin: X-ray crystallography,Hirshfeld surface analysis,magnetic, EPR and electrochemical properties

Chemical preparation of the bis(aqua) iron(III) metalloporphyrin [Fe^III(TClPP)(H₂O)₂](SO₃CF₃)·2(Pnz)·3/4(C₆H₁₂)·2H₂O (TClPP?=?TClPP?=?5,10,15,20-tetra(para-chlorophenyl)porphyrinato and Pnz?=?phenazine) coordination complex (I) was made. The crystal structure of (I) was determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and elucidated by Hirshfeld surface approach. Magnetic, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties were also reported and discussed. The mean equatorial distance (Fe–Np) between the iron(III) atom and porphyrin nitrogen atoms is appropriate to a high-spin (S?=?5/2) iron(III) complex. The high-spin state is also confirmed by both magnetic and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy data. The repetitive building unit of the crystal structure provides [Fe^III(TClPP)(H₂O)₂]⁺ ion complexes, two non-coordinated Pnz molecules and two water molecules which are interconnected by O–H···O/N/Cl, C–H···O/F/Cl hydrogen bonds, and by C–X···π, C–H···π and π–π stacking intermolecular contacts, forming a 3D supramolecular network. The role and nature of these intermolecular interactions were quantitatively analysed by 3D Hirshfeld surface analysis and associated 2D fingerprint plots. Cyclic voltammetry measurements indicate a one-electron reversible reduction wave with an E_1/2 (Fe(III)/Fe(II) half-potential value of ?0.24 V, which confirms the high-spin S?=?5/2 state of the studied complex.     

The crystal structure of (NH4)2[Mo2(S2)6].8/3H2

The black crystal of (NH₄)[Mo₂(S₂)₆]* 8/3 H₂O belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group D³₂-P22₁2₁, with a = 12.064(6), b = 12.534(4), c = 19.558(9)Å, V =2957(3)ų, Z = 4 and D_c = 2.23g.cm^?3. The intensity data were collected on a Syntex R3 four-circle diffractometer. The structure was solved by Patterson method and direct method, the light atoms (except H atoms) were obtained from ΔF syntheses. The structure was refined by least-squares with anisotropic thermal parameters. The values of R and R_w were 0.092 and 0.072 respectively. The crystal structure contains discrete dimeric cluster [Mo₂(S₂)₆]^2? ions, NH₄⁺ cations and H₂O molecules. There are two crystallographically independent [Mo₂S₂)₆]^2? ions in the crystal, one locates on general position [Figure 1(a)], the other locates on two-fold axis [Figure 1(b)]. It contains one and a half [Mo₂S₂)₆]^2? ions in an asymmetric unit. In [Mo₂S₂)₆]^2? each Mo is coordinated side on by four S₂^2? groups in a distorted dodecahedral arrangement, two of which are bridging and the other two are terminal. The Mo? S bond length is 2.441 Å (mean), and S? S is 2.049 Å (mean). The Mo? Mo distance is 2.784 Å (mean), which is to be regarded as a single bond length. The formal oxidation state of Mo is five, it is probably a mixed valence Mo^IV? Mo^VI, and so shows a remarkable deep colour.

Organylarsino-substituierte Schwefeldiimide: Die Kristallstrukturanalysen von 3, 7-Di-t-butyl-3H, 7H,-1λ4, 5λ4, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7-dithiatetrazadiarsocin und Bis(diphenylarsino)schwefeldiimid

Organoarsino-Substituted Sulphur Diimides: Crystal Structure Analyses of 3, 7-Di-t-butyl-3H, 7H-1λ⁴, 5λ⁴, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7-dithiatetrazadiarsocine and Bis (diphenylarsino)sulphur Diimide Reaction of the salt K₂SN₂ with organoarsenic chlorides leads to sulphur diimides containing organoarsino substituents at both ends. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses were carried out for two typical compounds, i.e. the cyclic eight-membered 3, 7-di-t-butyl-3H, 7H-1λ⁴, 5λ⁴, 2, 4, 6, 8, 3, 7-dithiatetrazadiarsocine ( 1a , prepared from K₂SN₂ and (t-Bu)AsCl₂ (1:1)) and the open-chain bis(diphenylarsino)sulphur diimide ( 2a , prepared from K₂SN₂ and Ph₂AsCl (1:2)). In both compounds the sulphur diimide groups are coplanar with their directly bound arsenic atoms. This coplanarity principle leads, in the case of 1a , to about conformation (mm2(C_2v) symmetry) of the eight-membered heterocycle; the t-butyl substituents occupy quasi equatorial positions. Small deviations from mm2 symmetry and torsions around the S?N bonds up to 12° can be explained as a consequence of the transnnular repulsion of the lone pairs at the arsenic atoms (As …As distance 3.683(1) Å). In the case of the open-chain S(N? AsPh₂)₂ ( 2a , 2(C₂) symmetry), a cis, cis configuration was found at the S?N double bonds which indicates As…As interaction. The As…As distance (3.379(1) Å) is shorter than in 1a and parallells a reduced interaction of the lone pairs at the As atoms. The S?N bond lenghts (1.517(5) Å in 1 a and 1.521(3) Å in 2a ) are characteristic of sulphur diimides withoug significant π-interaction with the substituents and correspond to S^IV?N double bonds.
