The bis-triazene (3a) adopts an unusual pseudo-boat conformation in the piperazine ring, with a dihedral angle of 52.20(0.06)° between the two planes defined within the piperazine ring. The crystal structures of 2a and 3a are compared with the structure of the triazene (4) and the closely related bis-triazene (5). The piperazine ring of 2a adopts a typical chair conformation, whereas the piperazine ring of 3a adopts an unusual boat conformation.

4-(E)-2-[3-(3-[(E)-2-(4-cyanophenyl)-1-diazenyl]hexahydro-1-pyrimidinylmethyl)hexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl]-1-diazenylbenzonitrile (1) has been synthesized by reaction of p-cyanobenzene diazonium chloride with a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,3-propanediamine. The crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (1) adopts a folded conformation, similar to previously studied ethylenediamine analogues, and there is evidence of -stacking in the crystal packing. The two planar phenyltriazenyl groups are almost parallel, forming an angle of 6.6(1), and display weak intermolecular s interactions between molecules. This result establishes the structure of the product of this diazonium coupling reaction as the 1-(1-hexahydropyimidinylmethyl)hexahydropyrimidine derivative and not the alternate tetraazabicyclo[5.5.1]tridecane derivative.

The molecular and crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₁Cl₂NO, has been determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction technique. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic, space group Pbca with unit cell dimensions a = 7.5537(10) ?, b = 11.5518(13) ?, c = 29.760(4) ?, M _r  = 280.14, V = 2596.8(6) ?³, Z = 8, R ₁ = 0.065 and wR ₂ = 0.191. The title compound exists in the enol–imine tautomeric form with a strong intramolecular O–H···N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 37.66(15)°. The asymmetric unit in the crystal structure contains only one neutral molecule. Calculational studies were performed by using AM1, PM3, PM6 semi-empirical and DFT methods. Geometry optimizations of compound have been carried out by using three semi-empirical methods and DFT method and bond lengths, bond and torsion angles of title compound have been determined. Dipole moments (Debye) and the energy parameters of compound (kcal/mol) were calculated by using above mentioned calculation methods. Atomic charge distribution has been obtained from AM1, PM3, PM6 and DFT. In order to determine conformational flexibility on the molecule, molecular energy profile of the title compound was obtained with respect to the selected torsion angle T(N1–C7–C1–C2), which is varied from −180° to +180° in every 10 via PM3 semi-empirical method.

1-[(E)-2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-diazenyl]-3-({3-[(E)-2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-diazenyl]-6-ethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl}methyl)-4-ethylhexahydropyrimidine (1) has been synthesized by reaction of a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,3-pentanediamine{DYTEK^®EPdiamine} with p-bromobenzenediazonium chloride. This compound crystallizes in two polymorphic forms 1-α and 1-β whose crystal structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both polymorphs 1-α and 1-β display crystallographic disorder within the hexahydropyrimidine rings. The molecule of 1 is built up of two equivalent 3-(aryldiazenyl)-6-ethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl groups in the s-trans orientation around the central methylene group (C13). In both structures the triazene moieties adopt the anti configuration around the N=N bonds, displaying significant π-conjugation. The crystal packings are determined only by van der Waals interactions. The crystal structures of 1-α and 1-β are compared with the previously reported structure of the 5,5-dimethylhexahydropyrimidine analogue 3. Compounds 1 and 3 are isomeric with respect to the hexahydropyrimidine moiety. The structures of 1 and 3 are very different in one respect; in 1 the aryldiazenyl-hexahydropyrimidinyl groups are in the s-trans orientation around the central methylene group, whereas in 3 the arrangement of the aryldiazenylhexahydropyrimidinyl groups is the s-cis orientation. Crystal data: 1-α C₂₅H₃₄N₈Br₂, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 9.2150(3), b = 19.4059(6), c = 15.4324(5) Å, β = 98.738(1)^°, V = 2727.7(2) ų, for Z = 4; 1-β C₂₅H₃₄N₈Br₂, triclinic, space group P-1, a = 9.6009(3), b = 10.7509(4), c = 14.2169(5) Å, α = 99.830(2), β = 105.973(3), γ = 95.578(1)^°, V = 1373.9(1) ų, for Z = 2.

Abstract  

Molecular and crystal structure of 4-[(p-N,N-dimethylamino)benzylidene]-2-phenyloxazol-5-one, C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₂, have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The title compound is monoclinic, with a = 12.1704(23) ?, b = 3.9810(5) ?, c = 30.9603(56) ?, β = 101.176(15)°, Z = 4, D _x = 1.32 g/cm³, μ(Mo Kα) = 0.087 mm⁻¹, and space group is P12₁/c1. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a final R = 0.047 for 3166 reflections with I > 2σ(I). The crystal structure is stabilized by C–H⋯O and C–H⋯N type intra-molecular, C–H⋯O type inter-molecular interactions. To enlighten the flexibility and the geometric isomerism (E or Z) of the title compound, the selected torsion angle is varied from −180 to 180° in every 10° separately and molecular energy profile is calculated and analyzed.     

A new polymorph of tri(<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-tolyl)boroxine

A new orthorhombic polymorph of tri(p-tolyl)boroxine (Pmn2₁) with relatively short intermolecular B–O distances of 3.321 Å was crystallized from CDCl₃ at ambient temperature. The crystal structure of the orthorhombic polymorph of tri(p-tolyl)boroxine shows the shortest intermolecular B–O contact yet found in boroxines. The cell dimensions of the orthorhombic polymorph of tri(p-tolyl)boroxine are a = 21.888(4) Å, b = 9.304(2) Å, and c = 4.7804(10) Å. The structural features of the orthorhombic polymorph of tri(p-tolyl)boroxine are quite different from a previously reported monoclinic (Beckett et al., J. Organomet. Chem. 1997, 535, 33–41) but similar to that of tri(p-bromophenyl)boroxine (Avent et al., Coll. Czech. Chem. Commun. 2002, 67, 1051–1060). Obviously, electronic effects of substituents on the boron centers influence the structural features of substituted boroxines less than discussed in earlier reports (Boese et al., Angew. Chem. 1987, 99, 239–241).

The crystal structure of (E)-2-[(2-Bromophenylimino)methyl]-5-methoxyphenol is determined by using X-ray diffraction and then the molecular structure is investigated with density functional theory (DFT). X-Ray study shows that the title compound has a strong intramolecular O-H…N hydrogen bond and three dimensional crystal structure is primarily determined by C-H…π and weak van der Waals interactions. The strong O-H…N bond is an evidence of the preference for the phenol-imine tautomeric form in the solid state. Optimized molecular geometry is calculated with DFT at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. The IR spectra of compound were recorded experimentally and calculated to compare with each other. The results from both experiment and theoretical calculations are compared in this study.

Crystallographic and conformational analyses of zwitterionic form of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-2-methoxy-6-[(2-morpholinoethylimino)methyl]phenolate

The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the title compound, C₁₄H₂₀N₂O₃, reveals that the structure is adapted to its zwitterionic form and centrosymmetric dimers are formed by N⁺–H···O⁻ type ionic weak hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure. The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P−1 with a = 5.9255(13) ?, b = 9.853(3) ?, c = 12.248(3) ?, α = 101.793(19)°, β = 94.941(17)°, γ = 104.36(2)°, Z = 2, D_x = 1.308 g/cm³, μ (Mo-K_α) = 0.092 mm⁻¹. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a final R = 0.0371 for 2183 reflections with I > 2σ (I). The crystal structure is stabilized by N⁺–H···O⁻ type intra-molecular hydrogen bonds and N⁺–H···O⁻ type packing interactions referred to as weak hydrogen bonds. To elucidate conformational flexibility of the title molecule, the selected torsion angle is varied from −180° to +180° in every 10° separately and then molecular energy profile is calculated and construed.

Desynchronization of Pedal Motion: Crystallographic and Theoretical Study of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-4-[(4-ethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-methylphenol

Abstract  The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₆N₂O, reveals that its molecules exhibit whole-molecule disorder at both crystal lattice sites due to pedal motion in solid state. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2₁/c with a = 20.5504(14) ?, b = 10.8887(5) ?, c = 12.0191(8) ? and β = 96.927(5)°. While major pedal conformers of the compound in solid state are stabilized by intermolecular O–H···N type hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of C(7) chains at Site 1 and C(8) chains at Site 2 along [0 1 0] axis, C–H···π type intermolecular interactions between major and minor conformers also serve to stabilize minor pedal conformers. An interesting feature about the crystal structure is that pedal conformers at Site 1 have two different occupancy factors arising from desynchronization of pedal motion along [2 1 0] direction in crystal phase. Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31++G** level suggest that the desynchronization of pedal motions make more unstable pedal conformers at Site 1 than those at Site 2. Index Abstract  Molecular and crystal structure of (E)-4-[(4-ethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-methylphenol, C₁₆H₁₈N₂O, indicate desynchronization of pedal motion and the quantum chemical calculations at level of B3LYP/6-31++G** suggest that desynchronization of pedal motions make more unstable pedal conformers.

Electron diffraction study of 1<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis> illites with interstratified <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis>- and <Emphasis Type="Italic">cis</Emphasis>-vacant 2 : 1 layers

Illites from the volcanogenic Zn-Au-Ag sulfide deposit Galkinskoe (Northern Urals) have been investigated using oblique-texture electron diffraction patterns in combination with the simulation of diffraction effects. Along with single-phase tv/cv1M illites, the structures of which are formed by statistically interstratified dioctahedral 2: 1 layers with vacant trans- or cis-octahedra, illites in the form of a mixture of two interstratified tv/cv1M phases, with the dominance of tv- or cv layers, are identified. It is shown that in the latter case the diffraction pattern can also be interpreted within the single-phase tv/cv model, provided that the tv- and cv layers are distributed with some tendency to segregate. The structural features indicating the preference of the two-phase model are analyzed.
