The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with C2/c space group. Its unit cell dimensions are a = 11.1585(5) Å, b = 6.2148(4) Å, c = 20.070(1) Å, = 102.004(4)°, V = 1361.4(1) ų, and Z = 4. The crystal structure of tBAS can be described as a typical thick layered organization built by all the components of the structure and centered by planes z = 1/4 and 3/4. Connection in these layers are established by N—H···O hydrogen bonds. Thermal analysis shows a reversible weak phase transition.     

Crystal structure of N-benzylmethylammonium dihydrogen-monophosphate monohydrate, [C6H5CH2NH2CH3]H2PO4·H2O

The salt N-benzylmethylammonium dihydrogenmonophosphate monohydrate is monoclinic with the following unit cell dimensions: a = 6.356(1)Å, b = 8.385(7)Å, c = 11.472(5)Å, = 104.32(1)°, space group P2₁ with Z = 2.

There are no contacts other than normal van der Waals interactions between the layers.     

Influence of the spectator cation on the structure of anionic pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II)

The structures of anionic pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato (pdc^2–) complexes of cobalt, nickel, and copper have been studied. The stoichiometries and structures are very much dependent on whether KOH, Et₄NOH, or NaOH is used in the synthesis to deprotonate the H₂pdc ligand. Crystallographic results are: (1) K₂[Co(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.637(2)Å, b = 13.480(1)Å, c = 8.200(1)Å (2) K₂[Ni(pdc)₂] · 7H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna, Z = 4, a = 20.648(1)Å, b = 13.375(1)Å, c = 8.2393(8)Å (3) [Co₂(H₂O)₅(pdc)₂] · 2H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 8.3880(6)Å, b = 27.384(2)Å, c = 9.6110(8)Å, = 98.271(6)° (4) [Ni(Hpdc)₂] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 13.679(1)Å, b = 10.0450(9)Å, c = 13.767(2)Å, = 115.184(7)° (5) Na₆[Co(H₂O)₆][Co(pdc)₂]₄ · 28H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 2, a = 13.363(1)Å, b = 8.437(1)Å, c = 40.689(3)Å, = 91.288(5)° (6) Na[Ni(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 11.5H₂O, monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 4, a = 15.200(2)Å, b = 22.299(2)Å, c = 8.3596(7)Å, = 118.894(7)° (7) Na[Cu(Hpdc)(pdc)] · 3H₂O, monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 9.516(4)Å, b = 14.917(6)Å, c = 12.247(5)Å, = 92.00(5)°. The potassium and sodium complexes have extensive K⁺—H₂O and Na⁺—H₂O networks. The fact the Et₄N⁺ ion does not appear in any of the complexes is likely due to the fact that it is incapable of forming the intricate cation—water and hydrogen-bonding networks observed in all of the other structures.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of two vanadium(V) hydroxylamido complexes with amino acid ligands

Two vanadium(V) hydroxylamido complexes with amino acid ligands including Alanine, [VO(NH₂O)₂(Ala)]·2H₂O, and Threonine, VO(NH₂O)₂(Thr), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectrum, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The two complexes are seven-coordinated with four nitrogen atoms and three oxygen atoms in pentagonal bipyramidal geometry.

[CaSb2(EDTA)2(H2O)8]n: synthesis, crystal structure, and thermal behavior

The synthesis and crystal structure of a new EDTA complex, [CaSb₂(EDTA)₂(H₂O)₈]_n, are reported. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, with a = 7.132(1) Å, b = 21.893(3) Å, c = 10.891(2) Å, = 91.15(2)°. Sb(EDTA) entities are connected through carboxylate bridges to the calcium atoms resulting in layers parallel to the (101) plane. These layers are linked through a weak Sb···O bond (3.171 Å). Pyrolysis of this complex under sulfur vapor, between 400 and 800°C, leads to a mixture of the monometallic sulfides. Pyrolysis in air above 700°C allows the easy preparation of the mixed oxide CaSb₂O₆.     

Crystal structure of a one-dimensional ladder-shape CoII complex through hydrogen bonds with an amino-acid-like ligand 1,5-diazacyclooctane-N,N′-diacetate acid

The crystal structure of a one-dimensional ladder-shape complex [CoL(H₂O)]·2H₂O, (L being 1,5-diazacyclooctane-N,N-diacetate acid), has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis: monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a = 14.406(4) Å, b = 7.380(2) Å, c = 14.594(5) Å, = 112.685(2)°, M _r = 341.23, V = 1431.5(8) ų, Z = 4. The Co^II center is penta-coordinated by two O atoms of the carboxylic pendant arms, two nitrogen donors of the 1,5-diazacyclooctane (DACO) moiety, and a water molecule. The coordination geometry of Co^II could be described as a distorted square pyramid and the DACO backbone adopts a normal boat/chair conformation. The complex forms a one-dimensional ladder-shape structure through inter- and intra-molecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds.     

Crystal structure of [Mn2(III)(salpa)2Cl2(H2O)2] (H2salpa = 1-(salicylaldeneamino)-3-hydroxypropane)

The manganese complex, (Mn₂(III)(salpa)₂Cl₂(H₂O)₂], has been prepared and its structure determined using x-ray crystallography. The dimer is a di-₂-alkoxo complex which is a six-coordinate manganese dimer with unsupported alkoxide bridges and a rare example of a chloride- and water-containing manganese dimer. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 9.315(5), b = 11.130(4), c = 11.637(5) Å, = 104.33(3)°, V = 1169.0(9) ų, and Z = 2. The structure comprises discrete binuclear clusters in which the metal atoms are bridged by two alkoxo oxygens of the salpa^2– ligands. The Mn—O and Mn—N distances are in good agreement with those found for other manganese(III) Schiff base complexes. The Mn—Cl and Mn—O3 distances are 2.585(2) and 2.371(2) Å, respectively, and the Mn ··· Mn distance is 3.001(1) Å. In the crystal, there are two types of hydrogen bonding between the H₂O molecule and the Cl atom with Cl ··· H(H₂O) distance of 2.33(6) (intramolecule: –1 + x, y, –1 + z) and 2.68(6) Å (intermolecule: –1 + x, 0.5–y, –0.5 + z).     

Crystal structure and thermal analysis of 1,5-diammonium-2-methyl pentane sulfate monohydrate

Chemical preparation, x-ray single crystal, and thermal analysis of C₆H₁₈N₂SO₄·H₂O (denoted DMPS) are described. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with P space group. Its unit cell dimensions are a = 5.826(1) Å, b = 10.014(1) Å, c = 11.221(1) Å, = 66.716(1)°, = 84.395(1)°, = 83.759(1)°, V = 596.7(1) ų, and Z = 2. The DMPS structure is built up from inorganic chains parallel to the a axis and linked via O(W)-H···O hydrogen bonds. These chains are interconnected by organic groups. Thermal analysis reveals the presence of one water molecule in the structure and shows a reversible weak phase transition.     

Regiospecificity of nucleotide–amino acid mating vs. water dynamics: a key to protein–nucleic acid assemblies: structure of unidecahydrated inosine-5′-monophosphate and L–glutamic acid (2C10H13N4O8P·C5H11NO4·11H2O) cocrystal at atomic resolution

The crystal structure of a unidecahydrated cocomplex between two Inosine-5-monophosphates (IMP) and one L-glutamic acid has been determined by X-ray crystallographic methods. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁ with cell dimensions a = 8.650(1), b = 21.900(1), c = 12.370(1) Å, and = 110.4°(9). This structure reveals extensive hydrogen bonding of glutamic acid to the nucleotide through direct and water-mediated interactions. The phosphate oxygens (O3B and O1B) seem to prefer nonspecific interaction with the functional sites of glutamic acid (OE2 ······O1B = 1.78 Å, NA······O3B = 2.73 Å, OH······O3B = 3.06 Å), whereas the bases prefer specific (O······N3B = 2.88 Å) binding. A solvent mediated N7A···W5···N7B hydrogen bond used for stabilization of the stacked purine bases has been observed as in other amino acid–nucleotide cocrystals. Glutamic acid occupies the same hydrophilic region in the nucleotide cocrystal as was found in glutamine–inosine monophosphate (Gln–IMP) and in serine–inosine monophosphate (Ser–IMP) complexes through substantial replacement of free and bound water molecules. This points to the dynamic hydrogen bonding nature of the water molecules and their stereochemical cooperation for the placement of amino acid through the polycoordination within the crystal.     

Crystal and molecular structures of three trimethylamine-boron halide adducts: (CH3)3NBCl3, (CH3)3NBBr3, and (CH3)3NBI3

X-ray diffraction data from single crystals of the trimethylamine complexes of the three boron halides, BCl₃, BBr₃, and BI₃, lead to aP2₁/m monoclinic cell containing two molecules for each complex. The unit cell dimensions area = 6·68(1),b = 10·247(3),c = 6·502(6) Å, =116·2(1)° (chloro);a = 6·86(1),b = 10·612(4),c = 6·737(6) Å, = 115·8(1)° (bromo);a = 6·92(2),b = 10·86(1),c = 7·147(6) Å, = 93·9(1)° (iodo). The structures were solved by three-dimensional sharpened Patterson functions and show only the chloro and bromo compounds to be isomorphous. Refinement of 662,718 and 954 observed reflexions for the chloro, bromo and iodo complexes, respectively, using anisotropic thermal parameters yielded conventionalR factors of 0·045, 0·087 and 0·054.The molecules are shown to possess a B—N dative bond, a staggered conformation, and effective 3m (C _3v) symmetry. Average C—N bond lengths are 1·52(1) Å for all three complexes. Boronhalogen bond lengths average 1·864(4), 2·04(2) and 2·28(2) Å, while B—N bond distances are 1·609(6), 1·60(2) and 1·58(3) Å, respectively, for the chloro through iodo compounds. Bond angles are approximately tetrahedral with the C—N—C angle decreasing by several degrees in the Cl Br I series.Based in part on a dissertation submitted by Patty H. Clippard to the Rackham School of Graduate Studies of the University of Michigan, January 1969 in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Ph.D. Degree.     

Crystal and molecular structure ofcis-dicarbonyltetraphosphinechromium(O), [(CO)2(PH3)4Cr]

The crystal and molecular structure ofcis-dicarbonyltetraphosphinechromium(O), [(CO)₂(PH₃)₄Cr] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system: space groupC2/c,a = 6·968(6),b = 11·98(1),c = 12·87(1) Å, = 99·80(8) °,V= 1059(3) ų,Z=4,D _m = 1·534(5),D _x = 1·531(5) gcm^–3, diffraction symmetry 2/m. The structure was solved by conventional methods, and refined by least-squares techniques to an agreement factorR = 0·078. The chromium atoms lie on rotation diads, and thus the molecules must have at least the symmetry 2(C ₂); they were found to have, within the limits of accuracy, the even higher symmetrymm2 (C _2v ). There are two distinct independent Cr-P distances in the molecule, the Cr-P bonds where phosphorus istrans to carbonyl [2·338(4) Å] being significantly longer than those where phosphorus istrans to phosphine [2·282(4) Å]. This difference may be attributed to a difference in the back-bonding capabilities of the two types of ligands.We wish to thank Professor Dr E. O. Fischer for his stimulating interest in this work. Our thanks are due also to the Leibniz Rechenzentrum der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften for use of their computing facilities. This work would not have been possible without a generous grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft which is gratefully acknowledged.

The crystal and molecular structure of 2-{(R)-1-Hydroxy-1-[(2S)-1-tritylaziridin-2-y1] methy1}acrylate is described. Crystal data: C₂₆H₂₅NO₃, orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, a = 9.6954(5), b = 13.1458(5), c = 16.7885(7) Å, V = 2139.8(2) ų, Z = 4.

Stereochemistry of racemic hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-dienenickel(II) thiocyanate,C16H32N4Ni(SCN)2 · H2O

The diamagnetictrans-diene thiocyanate salt of the macrocyclic hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecadienenickel(II) complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with unit cell dimensions:a = 7·334(4),b = 8·808(6),c = 21·04(2) Å; = 63·7(0·9), = 103·8(1·4), = 110·2(1·3) °; space groupP¯1;Z = 2. The positions of all 62 atoms of the formula unit C₁₆H₃₂N₄Ni(SCN)₂.H₂O have been determined and refined by least-squares methods toR= 0·071 for 3536 X-ray diffractometric reflections. The optical activity of the two amine groups yields a racemic isomer. The only local symmetry element of the macrocyclic complex is the twofold rotation axis with the N-H bonds oriented on the same side of the approximate ligand plane. Both the C(CH₃)₂ and the imine groups are in atrans-configuration in the ring. The space group ensures that the crystal is a racemate, containing equal numbers of both enantiomers. One of the (SCN)^– groups is at a distance Ni-S 3·28 Å, the other one is 4·65 Å. No rotational disorder of the CH₃ groups has been observed. The three C-H bonds of the CH₃ groups are in approximately antiprismatic orientations with respect to the three -bonds in the case of bonding to a C(sp³) atom. The average of the C(sp³)-C(sp²) bond lengths is 1·53 Å, and the mean value for the C(sp³)-C(sp²) bonds is 1·50 Å, with 3 = 0·03 to 0·04 Å. The distances N(sp²)-C(sp³) 1·47 Å and 1·48 Å are significantly longer than the bond lengths N(sp²)=C(sp²) of 1·28 and 1·30 Å.     

Intramolecular hydrogen bonding and tautomerism in N-(3-pyridil)-2-oxo-1-naphthylidenemethylamine

N-(3-pyridil)-2-oxo-1-naphthylidenemethylamine (C₁₆H₁₂N₂O) was studied by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and UV–visible techniques and X-ray diffraction methods. The UV–visible spectrum of the compound was investigated in solutions effect polarity. The polarity of the some solvents was modifierly the additional (CF₃COOH) and [(C₂H₅)₃N]. The compound is in tautomeric equilibrium (phenol-imine O–H···N and keto-amine O···H–N forms) in polar and nonpolar solvents. The keto-amine form is observed in basic solutions of DMSO, ethanol, chloroform, benzene, cyclohexane, and in acidic solutions of chloroform and benzene, but not in acidic solutions of DMSO and ethanol. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2₁/a with a = 7.010(5) Å, b = 13.669(4) Å, c = 12.764(4) Å, = 101.23(4)°, V = 1199.6(10) ų, Z = 4, D _c = 1.375 g/cm³, (Mo K) = 0.088 mm^–1, R = 0.045 for 1658 reflections [I > 2(I)]. The title compound is not planar two Schiff base moieties A [C1–C11, O1] and B [N1, C12, C13, N2, C14, C15, C16] are inclined at an angle of 27.4(1)° reflecting mainly the twist about C12–N1 [C11–C12–N1–C13, 29.7(2)°]. There is a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond (O–H···N) of 2.529(2) Å.     

A novel vanadyl selenite templated by organic salt: [(VO)(H2O)2(SeO3)]2[(H2pipe)SO4]

The title compound [(VO)(H₂O)₂(SeO₃)]₂[(H₂pipe)SO₄] was synthesized under hydrothermal condition with VOSO₄, piperazidine (pipe), and SeO₂, and its crystal structure was established using single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The title compound was characterized with IRFluorescence. The crystal data: P-1 (No. 2), a = 8.633(2) Å, b= 9.223(2) Å, c= 12.508(3) Å, =109.28(3)°, =90.42(3)°, = 107.79(3)°, Mr = 644.08, V=888.5(3) ų, Z=2, Dc = 2.407 g cm^–3, =5.350 mm^–1, F(000)=632. The structure of the title compound consists of an infinite neutral ladder chain, which is built up from VO₆ octahedral and SeO₃ pyramidal units sharing vertices, and organic salt. The biprotonized pipe (piperazidine) and SO₄ ^2– interact with one another and the inorganic chain through strong hydrogen bonds N–H···O or O–H···O to give a 3D structure. Hydrogen bonds play a role of stabilization structure.     

X-ray structure of 2,6-dimethoxy-7-methylpurine

The title compound (C₈H₁₀N₄O₂) is monoclinic, with a = 7.740(2), b = 17.044(7), c = 6.992(3) Å, = 100.60(1)°, and space group P2₁/c. Two O-methyl groups are coplanar with the pyrimidine ring. Whereas, the O(6)-methyl group is directed away from the imidazole ring toward the N(1) atom, the O(2)-methyl is pointed away from the N(1) atom toward the N(3) atom. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonds H(8)···N(1) and H(711)···O(2) of 2.48(2) and 2.58(3) Å make a linear arrangement of the molecules. The conformation of the O-methyl groups explains some results of thermal rearrangement of 2,6-dialkoxy-7-methylpurines and differences in alkylations of 2,4-dialkoxypyrimidines and 2,6-dialkoxy-7-methylpurines.     

Studies in molecular structure,symmetry and conformation VI. Crystal and molecular structure of 1-aminocyclopentane carboxylic acid monohydrate

1-aminocyclopentane carboxylic acid monohydrate is monoclinic: space groupP2₁/c,a = 11·24,b = 6·27,c = 11·22 Å and = 97·6 °. The crystal structure was solved by the symbolic addition method and refined to anR factor of 12·1%. The cyclopentane ring is disordered; one of the carbon atoms exists in two alternative sites, leading to two possible conformations both of which are of the envelope type.The authors wish to thank Professor R. Srinivasan for valuable discussions and Professor G. N. Ramachandran for his keen interest.

Crystal and molecular structure of di-μ-chloro(dicyandiamide)cadmium(II)

The crystal structure of di--chloro(dicyandiamide)cadmium(II) has been determined and refined by Fourier and least-squares methods toR = 0·037 using three-dimensional X-ray data collected at room-temperature on a single-crystal automated diffractometer.

The cadmium atom is surrounded by four chlorine (Cu-Cl = 2·572, 2·607, 2·630, 2·647 Å) and two nitrogen atoms (Cd-N (nitrilic) = 2·358 Å; Cd-N (guanidic) = 2·430 Å) so that the whole polyhedron appears as a slightly distorted octahedron. The chlorine atoms form bridges between adjacent metal atoms so that the coordination octahedra are linked in chains running along [001]. These chains are joined together by dicyandiamide bridges.The authors wish to thank Dr. A. Immirzi (Politecnico di Milano) for the use of his compter programmes.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of four nickel(II) 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate compounds

Four nickle(II) 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate (1,5nds) complexes, namely [Ni(H₂O)₆] (1,5nds) (1), trans-[Ni(en)₂(H₂O)₂](1,5nds)·2H₂O (2), [Ni(tren)(H₂O)₂](1,5nds)·H₂O (3), and [Ni(dien)₂](1,5nds)·2H₂O (4), where en = ethylenediamine, tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, and dien = diethylenetriamine, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 crystallizes in space group P2₁/c, with a = 13.200(2) Å, b = 6.6197(10) Å, c = 9.6001(14) Å, and = 92.005(3)° compound 2 crystallizes in space group C2/c, with a = 15.698(2) Å, b = 13.006(2) Å, c = 12.845(2) Å, and = 119.262(4) Å compound 3 crystallizes in space group P , with a = 8.8971(10) Å, b = 11.5440(13) Å, c = 11.9169(14) Å, = 77.254(2)°, = 74.079(2)°, and = 82.162(2)° compound 4 crystallizes in space group P2₁/c, with a = 10.3600(13) Å, b = 12.5650(16) Å, c = 9.9853(12) Å, and = 103.599(2)°. Compound 1 crystallizes in a typical inorganic–organic layered structure adopted by metal naphthalenesulfonate, while compounds 2–4 crystallize in a hybrid inorganic–organic pattern. Unlike their Cu²⁺ analogue, the sulfonate does not coordinate directly to Ni²⁺. The hydrogen bonds formed between sulfonate and water molecules are the predominant packing forces for all structures. The inherited inversion center of the 1,5nds anion is carried into the crystal structure and results in centrosymmetric crystallization of all compounds.
