Synthesis and structure of tris(N-methylaminoethanoldithiocarbamato)arsenic(III)

The title compound was synthesized by the interaction of arsenic(III)chloride with freshly prepared N-methylaminoethanoldithiocarbamic acid in methanol. The compound crystallized in the triclinic system, space groupP with two molecules per unit cell, the dimensions area=6.509(10)Å,b=14.077(3)Å,c=14.195(3)Å, =64.16(2)^o, =84.67(2)^o and =84.00(2)^o. The molecule is monomeric with three short (mean 2.320(3)Å) and three long (mean 2.927(2)Å) As-S bonds. Asymmetry in the As-S bonds is due to the presence of stereochemically active lone pair on arsenic and the coordination polyhedron deviates from the usual D₃ symmetry to C₃ symmetry. Disorder exists in one of the dithiocarbamate ligands probably due to the O...O interaction arising from the water molecule. The anisobidenticity of the As-S bond distances is as a consequence of stereochemical requirement of the ligand and the lone pair of electrons on arsenic.     

Refinement of the crystal structure of malonic acid,C3H4O4

A reinvestigation of the X-ray crystal structure of malonic acid (C₃H₄O₄) has been made in the light of some observations arising from solid-state¹³C NMR studies on this compound. The unit cell parameters are:a=5.156(1),b=5.341(1),c=8.407(1) Å, =71.48^o (2), =76.12^o (2), =85.09^o (2), space group ,Z=2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares refinement to a finalR value of 0.038 for 711 unique reflections withl>3. The packing of the molecules involves dimeric hydrogen bonded association of each carboxyl group with a centrosymmetrically related neighbor. The angles O–C–O (123.3^o and 124.8^o, respectively) for the two carboxyl groups agree qualitatively with the values predicted from a linear relationship relating the observed ₂₂ component of the Carbon-13 NMR chemical shielding tensor for the carboxyl carbon atom to the bond angle O–C–O at the carbon atom.Contribution No. 825.     

Polymorphs of nitrofurantoin. 2. Preparation and X-ray crystal structures of two anhydrous forms of nitrofurantoin

Both crystal structures are built up from layers held together by van der Waals forces. In each polymorph, intralayer cohesion is effected by N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds, but their arrangements differ in the two crystals. The significance of the C-HO hydrogen bond, now known to occur in four modifications of nitrofurantoin, is discussed.
