Spectroscopic Investigation on the Formation of a Dinuclear Me2SO–Ru2-Mercaptopyridine Bridged Complex: [Ru2Cl3(μ-pyS)(μ-dmso)(dmso)4]?·?2H2O

Abstract  A dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex double-bridged by an N-aromatic ligand 2-mercaptopyridine (2-pyridinethiol or 2-pyridyl mercaptan) and a methyl sulfoxide (dmso) have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.

All the hydrogen bonds (C–H–Cl) and the van der Waals contacts give rise to three-dimensional network in the structure and add stability to the dinuclear compound. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the formation of a dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex double-bridged by an N-aromatic ligand 2-mercaptopyridine and dmso have been reported. The study also provided valuable insight into bioinorganic chemistry as continuing efforts are being made to develop metal-based cancer chemotherapeutics. A major feature of this paper is the resolution of a double bridged ruthenium structure which contributes to a better understanding of ruthenium reactivity.

The chemical formulae and space groups of the complexes are (pipzH₂)[Zn(pydc)₂] · 4H₂O, P2₁/n (1), (EDGnH₂)[Zn(pydc)₂] · 3H₂O, P2₁/c (2) and (pdaH₂)[Zn(pydc)₂] · 4H₂O, (3) where pydc, pipz, EDGn and pda are standing for dipicolinic acid, piperazine, ethylenediguanidine and 1,3-propanediamine respectively. Cell parameters of the complexes are a = 7.9493(4) ?, b = 13.4386(7) ?, c = 21.0557(11) ?, β = 90.415(5)° for 1; a = 9.785(3) ?, b = 25.671(4) ?, c = 9.3402(16) ?, β = 90.790(17)° for 2 and a = 8.411(5) ?, b = 11.650(7) ?, c = 12.793(8) ?, α = 115.534(9)°, β = 92.791(10)°, γ = 97.778(10)° for 3. The three crystal structures illustrate that the metal ion is six-coordinated by two pydc’s. In all three compounds a large number of O–H⋯O, N–H⋯O and C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. These interactions as well as other noncovalent interactions such as ion–pairing and π–π stacking play an important role in the formation and stabilization of supramolecular systems in the crystal lattices.

Crystal Structure of the Tunnel-like Supramolecular Complex: Methylviologen(2+) Octaaquaoxalatodiiron(II) Disulfate

Abstract  The 3D supramolecular complex, (C₁₂H₁₄N₂)[Fe(II)₂(C₂O₄)(OH₂)₈] · 2(SO₄)²⁻, is monoclinic, P2₁/n, with the following cell parameters: a = 8.0413(16) ?, b = 17.272(4) ?, c = 9.806(2) ?, β = 106.25(3)°, V = 1307.6(5) ?³, Z = 2, R ₁ = 0.0344, and wR ₂ = 0.0763. X-ray crystallography revealed that the structure can be regarded as a hydrogen-bonded tunnel-like supramolecule with the methylviologen lying in the tunnel as the charge compensating cation. The multiple intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the octaaquaoxalatodiiron cations and the isolated sulfate ions link the supramolecular complex into a quasi-three-dimensional open-framework structure.

Crystal Structures of the Solvates of Di-ethylaminogossypol with Ethyl Acetate and Pyridine

Abstract  The crystal structures of di-ethylaminogossypol with ethyl acetate (DEAG-EA) and pyridine (DEAG-P) were studied by room-temperature X-ray diffraction. The host-to-guest molecule ratio in these complexes is 2:1 for DEAG-EA and 2:5 for DEAG-P. The crystal and cell parameters for DEAG-EA are C₃₄H₄₀N₂O₆·0.5(C₄H₈O₂), M = 660.78, triclinic, space group P-1, a = 11.316(2) ?, b = 12.082(2) ?, c = 15.085(3) ?, α = 73.34(3)°, β = 73.32(3)°, γ = 73.61(3)°, V = 1,847.3(7) ?³, Z = 2, and d _calc. = 1.188 g/cm³ and for DEAG-P are C₃₄H₄₀N₂O₆·2.5(C₅H₅ N), M = 769.91, triclinic, space group P-1, a = 9.6090(19) ?, b = 14.894(3) ?, c = 16.038(3) ?, α = 90.66(3)°, β = 106.25(3)°, γ = 103.17(3)°, V = 2138.7(9) ?³, Z = 2, and d _calc. = 1.195 g/cm³. In both structures, the di-ethylaminogossypol molecules are in the enamine form, which is the same tautomer found for other reported Schiff base gossypol derivatives. The enantiomeric gossypol molecules of each structure form different centrosymmetric dimer assemblies. These assemblies pack differently in each solvate.

Crystal Structure of 9α,11-Epoxy-7α-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-oxo-17α-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone

Abstract  The title compound (common name eplerenone), C₂₄H₃₀O₆, is an aldosterone receptor antagonist. From the isopropyl acetate solution the compound crystallizes in monoclinic space group P 21 with a = 8.811(1) ?, b = 11.250(1) ?, c = 11.079(1) ?, β = 93.822(12)°, Z = 2. The molecule contains three six membered rings, two five membered rings and one three membered ring. Both five membered rings display envelope conformation, whereas three six membered rings show different conformation: chair, half-chair and envelope. In the crystal the eplerenone molecules link to one another via intermolecular weak C–H···O hydrogen bonding to form the smaller cavity of 12.0(1) ?³ between eplerenone molecules, no solvent molecule filled in this cavity. Index Abstract  In the title molecule three six-membered rings show different conformation. Weak C–H···O hydrogen bonding links adjacent molecules to form the small cavity 12.0(1) ?³, no solvent molecule filled in the cavity.      

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Benzoyloxymethyl (4α,8β,13β)-13-methyl-16-oxo-17-norkauran-18-carbonate Ester

Abstract  Isosteviol derivative: benzoyloxymethyl (4α,8β,13β)-13-methyl-16-oxo-17-norkauran-18-carbonate ester was synthesized by esterification of isosteviol with chloromethyl benzoate and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with unit cell parameters: a = 8.784(3) ?, b = 9.079(3) ?, c = 15.950(6) ?, α = 79.343(6)°, β = 79.061(5)°, γ = 89.849(5)°, Z= 2. The conformation of rings A and B is chair, whereas the conformation of ring C is unsymmetrical twist chair. The carbonyl group at the C20 is coplanar with the benzene ring. The fragment of the ester group occupying the pseudoaxial site of C1 position adopts a zigzag conformation.
