Abstract  

The title compounds C₂₅H₂₄N₂O₃ (I) and C₂₆H₂₆N₂O₃ (II) crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1 with cell parameters a = 8.981(1), b = 9.933(1), c = 12.369(2) ?, α = 78.537(2), β = 84.515(2), γ = 73.561(2)° Z = 2 (I) and a = 11.4630(9), b = 12.955(1), c = 16.154(1) ?, α = 70.425(1), β = 87.403(1), γ = 71.850(1)°, Z = 4 (II). In both compounds the phenolic groups in the Schiff base substituents form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the imine nitrogen atoms thereby rendering these substituents nearly planar. A detailed analysis of the amount by which the heterocyclic ring deviates from planarity (extent of puckering) in these and a series of related molecules shows that the extent of the deviation is largely unaffected by the number, size and placement of substituents on this ring.

Crystal structures of bis(cyanido)bis(N,N′-diethylthiourea-κS) mercury(II) and bis(cyanido)bis(N,N′-dipropylthiourea-κS) mercury(II)

Two mercury(II) complexes containing cyanide and, N,N′-diethylthiourea (detu) and N,N′-dipropylthiourea (dprtu) ligands, [(detu)₂Hg(CN)₂] (1) and [(dprtu)₂Hg(CN)₂] (2), respectively, have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography.

In the crystal structures symmetry related molecules are linked via N-H-N hydrogen bonds resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional network in 1, while in 2 a double stranded one-dimensional chain is formed.     

Structure of bis(O,O′-diisopropyldithiophosphato-S,S′) (1,10-phenanthroline-N1,N10)zinc(II) complex, [Zn(phen)(S2P(OiPr)2)2]

The crystal and molecular structure of [Zn(phen)(S₂P(OiPr)₂)₂] (Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been determined by X-ray crystallography.

The coordination geometry of each Zn atom, by two S atoms from two (O,O-diisopropyldithiophosphato) anions and by two N atoms from phenanthroline ligand, is that of a slightly distorted tetrahedron [Zn—S 2.2914(8)Å Zn—N 2.111(2)Å]. The Zn···S distances to the noncoordinated S atoms are long: 3.5276 Å, which are indicated that there are much weaker interactions between them.     

Crystal structure of 1,3-(N,N′-benzamide)-2-methyl-1-pentene

Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic (C20H22N2O2): space groupP2₁/n,a=11.800(3),b=13.820(2),c=11.004(3) Å,=92.74(3)°.

5-(thien-2-yl) uracil analogs: 5-(5-methylthien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine, 5-(5-thien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine,and 5-(5-bromothien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine

Structural properties of the title compounds are compared with those of 5-(5-chlorothien-2-yl)-2-deoxyuridine (IV) previously reported in order to explain their affinity for HSV-1 thymidine kinase and their eventual interaction with viral DNA polymerase. The main structural features observed are the coplanarity of the uracil and thienyl cycles stabilized by a S–O intramolecular interaction and the formation of dimeric intermolecular H bonds between two uracil moieties.

Re-examination of the bis-(4′-n-alkoxy-benzylidene)-1,4–phenylenediamines, particularly the heptyloxy homologue, by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry has confirmed the existence of two hitherto unclassified smectic phases, which are now assigned the code letters J and K (S_J andS_k     

Distortions in nitramine substituted cubanes: The structures of N,N′-dinitro-1,4-diaminocubane,N,N′-dinitro-N,N′-(2-pyridyl)-1,4-diaminocubane,and 1,2,4,7-tetrakis(N-methoxycarbonylnitramino)cubane

The structures of three nitramine substituted cubane molecules, N,N-dinitro-1,4-diaminocubane (1), N,N-dinitro-N,N-(2-pyridyl)-1,4-diaminocubane (2), and 1,2,4,7-Tetrakis(N-methoxycarbonylnitramino)-cubane (3), have been determined.1 crystallized in the space group P2₁/a with cell dimensionsa=6.545(1),b=9.331(1),c=7.459(1) Å, =105.80(1),2 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with cell dimensionsa=7.545(2),b=8.697(3),c=12.406(4 Å, =96.28(3)°, while3 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with cell dimensionsa=10.866(3),b=6.866(2),c=16.167(6) Å, =108.79(3)°. The metrical parameters of the cubane skeleton showed no significant deviations from those found in other similarly substituted cubane molecules. For2 and3 there were considerable distortions of the nitramine moiety from planarity in contrast to1 where the nitramine moiety was almost exactly planar. The bond distances and angles for the nitramine group in1 indicates a substantial introduction of double bond character into the N–N bond in1, achieved by delocalization of the amine lone pair, compared with2 and3.
