[2‐(Anilino­methyl)­phenyl]­di­phenyl­phosphine and {2‐[(N‐methyl­anilino)­methyl]­phenyl}di­phenyl­phosphine

The title compounds, Ph₂PCH₂N(H)Ph or C₂₅H₂₂NP and Ph₂PCH₂N(CH₃)Ph or C₂₆H₂₄NP, respectively, are isomorphous, with calculated theoretical Tolman angles of 174 and 182°.     

1‐[(4‐Chloro­benzoyl)­methyl]‐4‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium bromide sesquihydrate and 1‐[(4‐bromo­benzoyl)­methyl]‐4‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium bromide sesquihydrate

The title compounds, C₁₅H₁₆ClN₂O⁺·Br⁻·1.5H₂O and C₁₅H₁₆BrN₂O⁺·Br⁻·1.5H₂O, are isomorphous. The benzene ring is oriented nearly normal to the pyridine ring in both compounds. The molecular packing is mainly influenced by intermolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Br interactions, as well as weak intramolecular C—H⋯O interactions. The H₂OBr⁻ units form an extended water–bromide chain, with a bridging water mol­ecule on a twofold axis.

In the title compound, [UO₂(C₁₃H₁₀O₂)(C₁₁H₁₉N₃)]·C₃H₆O, the U atom is in a pentagonal–bipyramidal environment, with the three N atoms of the 2,6‐bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­methyl]­pyridine ligand and the two O atoms of the dianionic 2,2′‐methyl­ene­diphenolate ligand in the equatorial plane. The geometry is compared with that of previously reported 1:2 uranyl–diphenoxide complexes.     

Bis­[N,N‐bis(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)­di­thio­carbamato]­di­methyl­tin(IV)

The title compound, [Sn(CH₃)₂(C₅H₁₀NO₂S₂)₂], has crystallographic mirror symmetry (C—Sn—C on mirror plane) and the coordination polyhedron around the Sn atom is a tetrahedron [C—Sn—C 139.3 (2)° and S—Sn—S 82.3 (1)°] distorted towards a skew‐trapezoidal bipyramid owing to an intramolecular Sn?S contact [3.0427 (6) Å]. The mol­ecules are linked into a linear chain by intermolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonds [O?O 2.646 (3) Å].     

Bis­[2‐(di­phenyl­phosphinoyl)­benzene] di­sulfide

The title compound, [2‐Ph₂P(O)C₆H₄S]₂ or C₃₆H₂₈O₂P₂S₂, obtained by electrochemical oxidation of 2‐(di­phenyl­phosphino)­benzene­thiol, has twofold crystallographic symmetry. Principal dimensions include S—S 2.0212 (15) Å, S—C 1.786 (3) Å and C—S—S—C 81.34 (14)°.     

Bis­[methyl­enebis­(di­phenyl­phosphine)‐P,P′]­nickel(II) diperchlorate

The title compound, [Ni(Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)₂](ClO₄)₂, was synthesized and its structure determined crystallographically. The Ni atom lies on an inversion centre and is at the center of a square formed by four P atoms which are necessarily coplanar. The Ni—P distances are 2.2188 (5) and 2.2322 (5) Å, and the P—Ni—P angle is 73.12 (3)°. The unique perchlorate anion is not coordinated to the Ni atom.     

Bis­[(R)‐1‐phenyl­ethyl isocyanido](5,10,15,20‐tetrakis{2,6‐bis[(S)‐2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐dioxolan‐4‐yl­methyl­oxy]­phenyl}­porphyrin)­ruthenium(II) at 110 K

The geometry about the Ru atom in the title compound, [Ru(C₉H₉N)₂(C₉₂H₁₀₈N₄O₂₄)], is approximately tetragonal and the porphyrin ring is nearly planar, while the C—N—R angles [169.3 (3) and 163.9 (3)°] of the isocyanide ligands in the complex are different from the value of 180° expected in the free ligand.     

Bis­[4‐(di­methyl­amino)­pyridinium] hexa­chloro­stannate(IV)

In the title compound, 4‐(di­methyl­amino)­pyridine is proton­ated on the pyridine N atom. The N(CH₃)₂ moiety is twisted 4.4 (2)° from the pyridine‐ring plane. The octahedral [SnCl₆]^2? anion is hydrogen bonded via trans‐Cl atoms to pyridinium N atoms from two cations forming (C₇H₁₁N₂)₂[SnCl₆] structural units.     

3‐Hydro­xy‐6‐[(4‐hydroxy­phenyl­amino)­methyl­ene]­cyclo­hexa‐2,4‐dienone and 2‐hydroxy‐6‐[(4‐hydroxy­phenyl­amino)­methyl­ene]­cyclo­hexa‐2,4‐dienone

The title compounds, both C₁₃H₁₁NO₃, exist as the keto–amine tautomers, and the formal hydroxyl H atoms, which display strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds, are located on the N atoms. This is a verification of the preference for the keto–amine tautomeric form in the solid state. The 2‐hydroxy isomer has two independent mol­ecules, with the mol­ecules linked by intramolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O and intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into three‐dimensional networks.     

Racemic 3,5‐di­chloro‐2‐{[(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­imino]­methyl}phenol

The title compound, (RS)‐3,5‐di­chloro‐2‐{[(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­imino]­methyl}phenol, C₁₅H₁₃Cl₂NO, was synthesized from racemic 1‐phenyl­ethyl­amine and 3,5‐di­chloro­salicyl­aldehyde. The π‐conjugate system around the imine group is essentially planar in the phenol–imine tautomer. Intramolecular O⋯N hydrogen‐bond and intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions are present in the crystal structure.

The coordination geometry about the metal atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal, with the two methyl C atoms and one N atom in the equatorial plane, and the Cl and second N atom in axial positions.     

Bis­[(R)‐3,5‐di­chloro‐N‐(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­salicyl­idene­aminato‐κ2N,O]­copper(II) and bis­[(R)‐3‐ethoxy‐N‐(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­salicyl­idene­aminato‐κ2N,O]copper(II)

The title compounds, [Cu(C₁₅H₁₂Cl₂NO)₂], (I), and [Cu(C₁₇­H₁₈NO₂)₂], (II), both adopt a compressed tetrahedral trans‐[CuN₂O₂] coordination geometry, the mol­ecules having an umbrella conformation overall. These complexes differ from one another with respect to the 1‐phenyl­ethyl­amine moieties, the direction of the benzene rings being either inside [in (I)] or inside and outside [in (II)] of the mol­ecules. The crystals of (I) and (II) have Δ(R,R) and Λ(R,R) absolute configurations, respectively.     

Bis­[μ‐3{5}‐(2‐pyridyl)­pyrazolido]­bis­[(aceto­nitrile)copper(II)] diperchlorate

The title compound, [Cu₂(C₈H₆N₃)₂(C₂H₃N)₂](ClO₄)₂, con­tains a centrosymmetric dinuclear dication, with square‐pyrami­dal Cu^II centres linked by two 1,2‐pyrazolide bridging groups. There is a weak apical interaction between each Cu ion and a perchlorate O atom.     

Di­chloro­bis(3,5‐di­methyl­pyrazole‐N2)methyl­phenyl­tin(IV)

The title compound, [SnCl₂(CH₃)(C₆H₅)(C₅H₈N₂)₂], was obtained by reaction of di­chloro­methyl­phenyl­tin(IV) and 3,5‐di­methyl­pyrazole (dmpz) in chloro­form, and was recrystallized from acetone. The structure consists of octahedral all‐trans [SnMePhCl₂(dmpz)₂] mol­ecules, with the Sn atom coordinated to two C [Sn—C 2.127 (5) and 2.135 (4) Å], two Cl [Sn—Cl 2.5753 (8) Å] and two N atoms [Sn—N 2.357 (3) Å]. The dmpz ligands, bound to the metal through their unprotonated N atoms, form weak intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the Cl ligands via their NH groups, giving rise to a polymeric chain along the c axis.

The title compound, C₂₄H₁₈N₄O, is a bis‐bidentate Schiff base ligand exhibiting pseudo‐C₂ symmetry. The mol­ecule is twisted about the central ether linkage and exhibits an imine E configuration. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

[Bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­alkane](pentane‐2,4‐di­thionato) complexes of nickel(II)

The structures of a series of four‐coordinate nickel(II) complexes of the form [Ni(sacsac)L] PF₆ (sacsac = pentane‐2,4‐di­thione anion; L = (Ph₂P)₂(CH₂)_n, n = 1,2,3) have beendetermined. These are [bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­methane](pentane‐2,4‐di­thionato‐S,S′)­nickel(II) hexa­fluoro­phosphate, [Ni(C₂₅H₂₂P₂)(C₅H₇S₂)]PF₆, [1,2‐bis­(di­phenylphosphino)­ethane](pentane‐2,4‐di­thionato–S,S′)­nickel(II) hexa­fluoro­phosphate, [Ni(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)(C₅H₇S₂)]PF₆, and [1,3‐bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­propane](pentane‐2,4‐di­thionato‐S,S′)­nickel(II) hexa­fluoro­phosphate, [Ni(C₂₇H₂₆P₂)(C₅H₇S₂)]PF₆. All have a distorted square‐planar arrangement about Ni with angles around Ni varying with the length of the hydro­carbon chain.     

3‐(4‐Chloro­benzoyl)‐7‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)‐1‐phenyl­indolizine and 3‐(2,4‐di­chloro­benzoyl)‐7‐(N,N‐di­methyl­amino)‐1‐phenyl­indolizine

In both of the title compounds, C₂₃H₁₉ClN₂O, (I), and C₂₃H₁₈Cl₂N₂O, (II), the molecular packing is influenced by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, but despite the chemical similarity of the compounds, the packing in (II) is entirely different from that observed in (I).     

3‐[(2‐Oxo‐1‐naphthylidene)methyl­amino]­benzoic acid

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₃NO₃, exists as a keto­amino tautomer implying a fairly short N—H?O intramolecular hydrogen bond between the 2‐naphthalenone and amino moieties [N?O 2.531 (3) Å] which is enhanced by the π‐electron delocalization effect. The naphthald­imine and 3‐carboxy­phenyl fragments are inclined at an angle of 4.41 (7)°, so the mol­ecule is almost planar. The mol­ecules are connected by intermolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonds between the carboxy and keto O atoms, forming infinite chains around the twofold screw axes parallel to b .
