Indexing scheme for classes of 𝒮N; partitions of N

The classes of the symmetric group 𝒮_N are identified by partitions of N. In this work an indexing scheme is presented which provides a dense enumeration of the classes of 𝒮_N. The method is based on a graphical representation of partitions of N, which also enables the determination of the class corresponding to a given number. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Two polymorphs of N1,N4‐bis(5‐hydroxypenta‐1,3‐diynyl)‐N1,N4‐diphenylbenzene‐1,4‐diamine

The title compound, C₂₈H₂₀N₂O₂, forms two conformational polymorphs, (I) and (II), where the molecular structures are similar except for the orientation of the two hydroxy groups. In (I), which was obtained by slow evaporation from chloroform, the two hydroxy groups have an anti conformation. The molecules form a sheet structure within the ac plane, where the hydroxy groups form zigzag hydrogen bonds. In (II), which was obtained by slow evaporation from acetonitrile, the two hydroxy groups have a syn conformation. The molecules form a double‐sheet structure within the ab plane, where the hydroxy groups form 4‐helix hydrogen bonds.     

N,N,N′,N′‐Tetra­methyl­ethyl­ene­diammonium–succinate–succinic acid (1/1/1)

In the title compound, C₆H₁₈N₂²⁺·C₄H₄O₄²⁻·C₄H₆O₄, the components lie on centres of symmetry in space group , such that the asymmetric unit contains three half‐mol­ecules. Despite the different mode (with respect to other di­carboxylic acids) adopted by the intermolecular self‐interaction of succinic acid derivatives, the overall structure of the title compound consists of anionic layers that are typical of the packing structures exhibited by other di­carboxylic acid analogues.     

An azide‐bridged copper(II) complex: poly[piperazine‐1,4‐dium [tetra‐μ3‐azido‐κ12N1:N1:N1‐hexa‐μ2‐azido‐κ12N1:N1‐di‐μ2‐azido‐κ4N1:N3‐pentacopper(II)] tetrahydrate]

A new Cu^II–azide complex, {(C₄H₁₂N₂)[Cu₅(N₃)₁₂]·4H₂O}_n, has been synthesized by the reaction of piperazine, Cu(OAc)₂·2H₂O (OAc is acetate) and NaN₃. In the structure, μ₂‐1,1‐ and μ₃‐1,1,1‐azide anions bridge five Cu^II cations to form a linear pentanuclear cluster unit, which is further linked by μ₂‐1,1‐ and μ₂‐1,3‐azide anions to form a two‐dimensional condensed [Cu₅(N₃)₁₂]_n layer. The diprotonated piperazine and the solvent water molecules are hydrogen bonded to the coordination layers to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular network.     

Theoretical study of one‐carbon unit transfer between methyl‐AICA and N1‐methyl‐N1‐acryloyl‐formamide

The mechanism of one‐carbon unit transfer between 1‐methyl‐5‐amino‐4‐carboxamide imidazole (M‐AICA) and N¹‐methyl‐N¹‐acryloyl‐formamide (the model molecule of 10‐f‐H4F) is investigated by the Hartree–Fock and DFT methods, respectively, at the 6‐31G* basis level. There are two different channels for the proton transfer, resulting in two reaction pathways with different properties. The results indicate that both channels can complete the reaction, but path a is slightly favored due to its lower active energy barrier. Furthermore, the influence of 4‐carboxamindde in M‐AICA is also discussed. This group can stabilize the reactant and intermediates, and reduce the active energy barrier through the intermolecular hydrogen bond. The intermolecular hydrogen bond results in an enlarged conjugation system and makes the transition states more stable. Our results are in agreement with experiments. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dichloro[N,N‐dimethyl‐1‐(1‐methyl‐1H‐tetrazol‐5‐yl‐κN4)methanamine‐κN]copper(II)

The title compound, [CuCl₂(C₅H₁₁N₅)], is the first structurally characterized molecular chelate complex involving an α‐­amino­alkyl­tetrazole. There are two complex mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The ligand mol­ecules are bidentate. Both Cu atoms reveal rather distorted square‐planar coordinations. The complex mol­ecules are linked together by van der Waals interactions only.     

The CoIII—C bond in (1‐thia‐4,7‐diazacyclodecyl‐κ3N4,N7,C10)(1,4,7‐triazacyclononane‐κ3N1,N4,N7)cobalt(III) dithionate hydrate

In the title compound, [Co(C₆H₁₅N₃)(C₇H₁₅N₂S)]S₂O₆·H₂O, the Co—C bond distance is 1.9930 (13) Å, which is shorter than for related compounds with the linear 1,6‐di­amino‐3‐thia­hexan‐4‐ide anion in place of the macrocyclic 1‐thia‐4,7‐diazacyclo­decan‐8‐ide anion. The coordinated carbanion produces an elongation of 0.102 (7) Å of the Co—N bond to the 1,4,7‐tri­aza­cyclo­nonane N atom in the trans position. This relatively small trans influence is presumably a result of the tri­amine ligand forming strong bonds to the Co^III atom.     

N1‐(4‐tert‐Butyl­phenyl)‐N2‐hydroxy‐α‐oxo‐α‐phenyl­acet­amidine and N2‐hydroxy‐N1‐(4‐nitro­phenyl)‐α‐oxo‐α‐phenyl­acet­amidine hemihydrate

In the title compounds, C₁₈H₂₀N₂O₂, (I), and C₁₄H₁₁N₃O₄·0.5H₂O, (II), respectively, the oxime groups have an E configuration. In (I), the mol­ecules exist as polymers bound by intermolecular C—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds around inversion centres. In (II), intermolecular OW—H⋯N, OW—H⋯O and O—H⋯OW interactions stabilize the molecular packing.     

New chiral [N,N,N]‐ligand containing titanium/zirconium precatalysts for 1‐hexene polymerization

The ring‐opening reaction of (S)‐N‐tosyl‐2‐phenylaziridine by benzylamine in ethanol at 80 °C resulted in the formation of the (S,S)‐bis(N‐tosyl‐2‐amino‐2‐phenylethyl)benzylamine ligand in a 60% yield. The corresponding titanium complex, 1‐TiCl₂, was prepared by the reaction of the dilithiated parent ligand with TiCl₄. This precatalyst, in combination with methylaluminoxane, was capable of polymerizing 1‐hexene with good activities, resulting in the formation of good yields of low‐dispersity, high‐molecular‐weight polymers at low temperatures but higher yields of lower molecular weight polymers at higher temperatures. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the polymers suggested high isotacticity and predominant chain termination via β‐hydride elimination. The enantiomerically pure catalysts, (R,R)‐1‐TiCl₂ and (S,S)‐1‐TiCl₂, showed nearly identical polymerization results at various polymerization temperatures. However, when the catalyst was prepared from a racemic ligand, the obtained polymers had lower molecular weights with a bimodal distribution. This observation suggested diastereomeric aggregation of the racemic catalyst, which was well supported by the NMR studies, and a modified Arrhenius plot (the natural logarithm of the number‐average molecular weight vs the reciprocal of the temperature) also showed sigmoidal behavior, indicating the existence of two or more active species. Analogous zirconium precatalysts showed similar results in the polymerization of 1‐hexene. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 4006–4014, 2006     

The N(4S) + N2O(X̃1∑) reaction

The title reaction, which is spin‐forbidden for N₂(X¹∑) + NO(X²Π) production, has been studied from 960 to 1130 K in a high‐temperature photochemistry reactor. No reaction could be observed, indicating k < 1 × 10^?15 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. It is concluded that there is no significant contribution from the spin‐allowed exothermic path leading to N₂(X¹∑) + NO(a⁴Π). © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 33: 387–389, 2001     

Supramolecular hydrogen‐bonding patterns in two cocrystals of the N(7)–H tautomeric form of N6‐benzoyladenine: N6‐benzoyladenine–3‐hydroxypyridinium‐2‐carboxylate (1/1) and N6‐benzoyladenine–DL‐tartaric acid (1/1)

Two novel cocrystals of the N(7)—H tautomeric form of N⁶‐benzoyladenine (BA), namely N⁶‐benzoyladenine–3‐hydroxypyridinium‐2‐carboxylate (3HPA) (1/1), C₁₂H₉N₅O·C₆H₅NO₃, (I), and N⁶‐benzoyladenine–DL‐tartaric acid (TA) (1/1), C₁₂H₉N₅O·C₄H₆O₆, (II), are reported. In both cocrystals, the N⁶‐benzoyladenine molecule exists as the N(7)—H tautomer, and this tautomeric form is stabilized by intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding between the benzoyl C=O group and the N(7)—H hydrogen on the Hoogsteen site of the purine ring, forming an S(7) motif. The dihedral angle between the adenine and phenyl planes is 0.94 (8)° in (I) and 9.77 (8)° in (II). In (I), the Watson–Crick face of BA (N6—H and N1; purine numbering) interacts with the carboxylate and phenol groups of 3HPA through N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, generating a ring‐motif heterosynthon [graph set R₂²(6)]. However, in (II), the Hoogsteen face of BA (benzoyl O atom and N7; purine numbering) interacts with TA (hydroxy and carbonyl O atoms) through N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a different heterosynthon [graph set R₂²(4)]. Both crystal structures are further stabilized by π–π stacking interactions.     

[(1,4,8,11‐Tetraazacyclotetradeca‐1,4,8,11‐tetrayl)tetraacetamide‐κ6N1,N4,N8,N11,O1,O8]copper(II) sulfate 4.5‐hydrate

The crystal structure of the title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C₁₈H₃₆N₈O₄)]SO₄·4.5H₂O, formed with the tetra­amide cyclam derivative 2‐(4,8,11‐triscarbamoyl­methyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetra­aza­cyclo­tetradec‐1‐yl)­acet­amide (TETAM), is described. The macrocycle lies on an inversion centre occupied by the hexacoordinated Cu atom. The four macrocyclic tertiary amines form the equatorial plane of an axially Jahn–Teller elongated octahedron. Two O atoms belonging to two diagonally opposite amide groups occupy the apical positions, giving rise to a trans‐III stereochemistry, while both the remaining pendant side arms extend outwards from the macrocyclic cavity and are engaged in hydrogen bonds with sulfate anions and co‐crystallized water mol­ecules.     

Diaqua­bis[5‐(pyrazin‐2‐yl‐κN1)‐1H‐tetra­zolato‐κN1]manganese(II) and diaqua­bis[5‐(pyrazin‐2‐yl‐κN1)‐1H‐tetra­zolato‐κN1]zinc(II)

The two new title complexes, [Mn(C₅H₃N₆)₂(H₂O)₂] and [Zn(C₅H₃N₆)₂(H₂O)₂], are isomorphous. In both compounds, the metal atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by four N atoms from two 5‐(pyrazin‐2‐yl)‐1H‐tetra­zolate anions in the basal plane and by two O atoms of water ligands in the apical positions to form a distorted octa­hedral geometry. Inter­molecular hydrogen‐bond inter­actions between the uncoordinated N atoms of the tetra­zolate anions and the H atoms of the water mol­ecules lead to the formation of a three‐dimensional network.
