The title compound is orthorhombic,M _r =590.2,P2₁2₁2₁ (No. 19),a=9.865(2),b=9.924(2),c=31.202(7) Å,V=3055(2) ų,Z=4,D _x =1.283 g cm^–3, (MoK );F(000)=1256; (MoK )=6.76 cm^–1, finalR=0.052 for 1441 reflections I2.5(I). The nitrite group is chelated via the two oxygen atoms; the two six-membered rings resulting from the coordination of the 1,3-propanediamine ligands to the nickel(II) atom are in the chair conformation. The Ni-N and Ni-O distances average 2.07(1) and 2.14(2) Å respectively. The two Ni-O distances are nearly equivalent.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of 4,5-(cis-cyclohexylenedithio)-1,3-dithiole-2-one

The x-ray crystal structure of 4,5-(cis-cyclohexylenedithio)-1,3-dithiole-2-one has been determined. Yellow block shaped crystals of C₉H₁₀OS₄ crystallize in the space group P with cell dimensions a = 8.872(4), b = 9.330(8), c = 14.333(12) Å, = 95.23(7), = 91.09(5), = 107.60(5)°, V = 1124.8(14) ų, and Z = 4. This compound has two S---S contacts [3.574, 3.610 Å] shorter than 3.70 Å and the usual disordered ethylene moiety [C(3)—C(8)] of the six-membered ring is fixed by the cis-cyclohexylene subsitituent. This means that it may be a new precursor for conducting and strong near-IR absorbing nickel-dithiolenes. Also, it provides the first example of polymorphism of the dmit derivatives and contains two independent molecules I and II in the asymmetric unit.     

Crystal structure of 4,6-dinitro-1-(5-tetrazolyl)-1H-indazole trihydrate

The title compound, C₈H₄N₈O₄·3H₂O, crystallizes in space groupP¯1 with cell constantsa=7.022(1),b=9.507(2),c=10.906(2) Å,=84.99(1),=71.89(1),=72.56(1)°,Z=2, andV _c =660.2 ų. The structure was solved by direct methods using diffractometer data and was refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to anR value of 0.060 for 2112 observed reflections. The molecule, consisting of a phenyl ring fused to a pyrazole ring with a tetrazole ring connected to it equatorially, is planar except for the N(7) nitro-group oxygen atoms. The structure is stabilized by a three-dimensional network of O-HO, O-HN, and N-HO hydrogen bonds through the water molecules.

The results of a X-ray structure determination and of a quantum-chemical Conformational analysis on the title compound are reported. The crystals belong to the triclinic system, space groupP¯1 (after structure determination), with two molecules in the unit cell, whose parameters are:a=11.966(2),b=8.118(2),c=7.693(2)Å,=97.03(2),=92.98(2), =106.15(2)°: observed density (by flotation) 1.49, calculated 1.503 g cm^–3. The structure was solved from 1815 diffractometer-measured intensities, withI2.5(I) and refined by full-matrix least-squares to a final conventional indexR=0.035 (R _w =0.043). The most relevant feature of the molecular structure is the orientation of the dichlorophenyl ring with respect to the planar indazole group, the dihedral angle being 83.1(1)°. A very close conformation corresponds to one of the minima calculated by the semiempirical AMI method.

The molecules form stacks along theb axis of the formA, B, A, B(A=dichloromethylene group; B=aromatic ring in the molecule at –x, 1/2+y, –z to the molecule atx, y, z containing A). Cl(Ar),, ClCl, ClO(N), (Cl₃C)HO intermolecular interactions are also present. An inverse correlation between the (C)ClCl(C) distance and the difference in the corresponding pairs of C-ClCl angles is observed and is interpreted in terms of incipient nucleophile: electrophile attack.     

Conformations of barbiturates related to pentobarbitone. II. Crystal structure oftrans-5-ethyl-5-(1′,3′-dimethylbut-1′-enyl) barbituric acid

Crystals oftrans-5-ethyl-5-(1,3-dimethylbut-1-enyl) barbituric acid (13M1TB), mp 183° C, are triclinic witha = 7.677(2),b = 10.393(3),c = 9.176(3) Å, = 104.331(1), = 106.919(1), = 96.494(1)°, space group P, with two molecules in the unit cell. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least-squares procedures toR = 0.050 for 2809 observed diffraction maxima. The 5-ethyl group is oriented under the barbiturate ring with the orientation of the but-1-enyl group directed away from the ring. This orientation is determined by the 1-methyl substituent. The molecules are linked together by N-H ... O=C hydrogen bonds across inversion centers, thus forming single ribbons alongb. Adjacent ribbons are held together in theac plane by van der Waals interactions between alternating ethyl and l,3-dimethylbut-l-enyl groups.     

A comparison of the coordination preferences of Zn, Co, and Cd(II) with the heteroscorpionate ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis (3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane

Reaction of the Zn, Cd, or Co nitrate salts with the deprotonated ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (L1O^–) in methanol produced the following complexes: [(L1OH)Zn(NO₃)₂] in two isomorphs, a = 40.983(8) Å, b = 9.571(2) Å, c = 15.667(8) Å, = 90, = 106.38(1), = 90, C2/c, and a = 13.027(3) Å, b = 14.781(4) Å, c = 16.107(3) Å, = 90, = 105.30(1), = 90, P2₁/n; [(L1OH)Cd(pz)(NO₃)₂] a = 14.7476(2) Å, b = 13.5411(2) Å, c = 16.7223(2) Å, = 90, = 110.3840(10), = 90, P2₁/c; and [(L1O)Co(pz)(NO₃)] a = 11.4240(2) Å, b = 13.4498(2) Å, c = 13.8056(2) Å, = 105.2080(10), = 105.8130(10), = 112.7470(10), P . The Zn adopts a pseudotetrahedral four-coordinate geometry where the potentially tridentate ligand is actually bidentate with a protonated and uncoordinated phenoxy arm. The Co complex is pseudooctahedral six-coordinate where the phenoxy arm is deprotonated and coordinated. Finally the Cd complex is seven-coordinate but the metal is not coordinated through the phenoxy group that is again protonated.

Molecular structure of N-(2-phenylethyl)amide of α-(1,1-ethylenedioxy)-ethyl γ-hydroxybutyric acid (I) and1H NMR spectra of (I) and N-(p-methoxybenzyl)derivative (III)

The spectroscopic and X-ray investigation of the N-(2-phenylethyl) amide of -(1,1-ethylenedioxy)-ethyl--hydroxybutyric acid are reported. The¹H NMR spectra for the title structure and for the N-(p-methoxybenzyl) amide of -(1,1-ethylenedioxy)-ethyl--hydroxybutyric acid are given. The N-(2-phenylethyl)amide of -(1,1-ethylenedioxy)-ethyl--hydroxybutyric acid, C₁₆H₂₃O₄N, crustallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2 ₁/c witha=21.547(5),b=6.333(2),c=11.822(3) Å and =101.01(2)°. The dioxolane ring has a half-chair conformation with C₂(O3)=2.4° and ||_av=18.2°. The inconsiderable deviations from planarity of the six atoms of the amide group are caused mainly by twist around the C4–N1 bond and out-of-plane bending at the N1 atom ((C4–N1)=4°, X_N =7°, X_c =0.4° ). The amide group plane is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring. The molecules are connected by two intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Isomerism in parabutylchloral; x-ray crystallographic determinations of 2,4,6-tris(1′,1′,2′-trichloropropyl)-1,3,5-trioxanes

-Parabutylchloral (2,4,6-tris(1,1,2-trichloropropyl)-1,3,5-trioxane, C₁₂H₁₅Cl₉O₃) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupP2₁2₁2₁ (No. 19) witha=12.165(6),b=9.964(5),c=17.433(9) Å,Z=4. The finalR value is 0.043 for 1667 observed reflections.-Parabutylchloral crystallizes in the orthorhombic space groupPna2₁ (No. 33), witha=12.387(6),b=10.488(5),c=16.605(8) Å,Z=4. The finalR value is 0.047 for 1417 observed reflections.Unlike the geometric isomers- and-parachloral (CCl₃CHO)₃ which exist in boat andcis,cis-chair conformations, the- and-forms of parabutylchloral (CH₃CHClCCl₂CHO)₃ are now shown by X-ray crystallography not to be geometric isomers. Both forms exist incis,cis-chair conformations and the isomerism arises from the chirality of the side chains at the-carbon atoms. In the-form only two of the side chains have the same chirality, but in the-form the chirality at all the-carbon atoms is the same. The X-ray results are supplemented by¹H and¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and by mass spectrometry.We thank the CSIR (Pretoria) for collecting the diffractometer data, the CSIR and the University of Cape Town for research grants, Dr. M. L. Niven for crystallographic assistance, and Miss C. Angus for preparing parabutylchloral and separating the isomers. The 500 MHz NMR data are courtesy of Mr. Ivan Antonowitz of the CSIR.
