Crystal and molecular structure of bis(protonated thiamine) tetrachlorodioxouranium(VI)

The crystal and molecular structure of bis(protonated thiamine) tetrachlorodioxouranium(VI), [C₁₂H₁₈ClN₄OS]₂ UO₂Cl₄, has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray diffractometer data. The crystals are monoclinic:P2₁/n,a = 11.199,b = 6.968,c = 23.675 Å, = 97.50°,Z = 2.The structure was determined by Fourier methods and refined by least squares toR = 0.062, using 1675 observed reflections.The structure contains octahedral [UO₂ Cl₄]^2–ions with average U-Cl and U-O distances of 2.67(1) and 1.78(1) Å, respectively.The organic portion of the molecule resembles that of previously reported thiamine structures. The failure to find the hydrogen atoms no doubt prevented our determining either which nitrogen atom is protonated or, with certainty, the hydrogen-bonding distribution.     

Crystal and molecular structure ofo-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile

The crystal structure ofo-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile, C₁₀H₅ClN₂, has been determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/c, with unit cell dimensionsa = 3·971,b = 21·140,c = 10·747 Å, = 95·29 °;Z = 4.

The deviation from planarity is related to steric hindrance between the malononitrile group and theortho-hydrogen of the phenyl ring.

Crystal and molecular structure of benzylidenemalononitrile

Benzylidenemalononitrile, C₁₀H₆N₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group,P2₁/c;a = 9·385,b = 3·976,c = 22·152 Å, = 93·53 °,V _c = 825·03 ų,D _m = 1·231,D _c = 1·242 g cm^–3,Z= 4. The structure was solved by fitting cojointly an assumed molecular shape to both the near-origin peaks of the sharpened vector map and the distribution in the Harker (U,1/2,W) section, followed by trial-and-error establishment of the coordinates. The structure was then refined by full-matrix least squares, reducingR to 0·090 for data comprising 1412 reflexions (0·086, omitting 373 unobserved) from room temperature CuK Weissenberg photographs. Steric hindrance of the malononitrile group and a hydrogen atom in theortho position of the phenyl ring causes simultaneous expansion of the bond angles between the malononitrile group and the benzylidene group and rotations of these groups relative to each other. These constraints cause the two groups to be non-planar, the dihedral angle between their least-squares planes being 11·0 °.

Crystalline biruthenocene is disordered at room temperature. The apparent symmetry ofP2₁ c applies to an average structure only. Better resolution is achieved by refinement in the space groupP1. The room-temperature X-ray structure, as refined in both space groups, shows that the mutual orientation of cyclopentadienyl rings within a sandwich is not conformationally important and that it depends on intermolecular interactions.
