The X-ray crystal structure of trinuclear iron acetate [Fe₃O(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃]₂ [ZnCl₄] ? 2H₂O was determined. The crystal has a ionic structure.

The tetrahedrane cluster Co₃(Co)₉(₃-CCO₂CH₂CCH) reacts with Co₂(CO)₆ to furnish the pentacobalt compound Co₃(CO)₉[₃-CCO₂CH₂CCH{Co₂(CO)₆}] in high yield. Functionalization of the pendant alkyne group by Co₂(CO)₆ was ascertained by IR and NMR spectroscopies (¹H and ¹³C), and the solid-state structure of Co₃(CO)₉[₃-CCO₂CH₂CCH{Co₂(CO)₆}] was unequivocally established by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Least-squares refinement of 1035 observed [F_o5(F_o)] reflections led to the final agreement index ofR=0.074. The molecule resides on a crystallographic center of inversion and is disordered into two different conformations. This manifests itself as a 50/50 disorder at O(4), C(2), and C(3). The observed structure reveals acis relationship between the bridgehead hydrogen atoms and the aryl rings. The 90 MHz¹H nmr spectrum of the title compound exhibits an AAXX spin system with a H(1)C(2) to H(1)C(3) and H(1)C(2) to H(1)C(3) coupling constant of 2.8 Hz. Computer spectral simulation and Karplus equation analysis are utilized to illustrate a relaxation of the torsion angles between H(1)C(2) and H(1)C(3), and H(1)C(2) and H(1)C(3) is solution.

Crystal and molecular structures of the 4-(1H)-pyridone (=L) lanthanide complexes {[GdL(NO3)3(H2O)]·CH3OH}2 and [DyL4(NO3)2](NO3) and of L2HNO3

The crystal structures of the title compounds have been determined by single crystal diffraction methods. Crystals of the dysprosium compound are monoclinic, space groupP2₁/c witha=14.133(4),b=13.438(5),c=14.401 (4)Å,=103.98(2)°,V=2654(1)ų,Z=4,D _c =1.82 g cm^–3, finalR=0.035. The Dy atom is eight-coordinate with a distorted dodecahedral coordination geometry involving two bidentate nitrate groups and four pyridone oxygen atoms. An erbium complex with analogous stoichiometry was also prepared but not structurally characterized. Crystals of the Gd compound are monoclinic, space groupP2₁/n, witha=11.226(2),b=9.075(2),c=16.737(3)Å,=93.88(3)°,V=1701(1)ų,Z=2,D _c =1.91 g cm^–3, finalR=0.042. Each Gd atom is bonded to one pyridone oxygen atom, a water molecule and three bidentate nitrate groups. An oxygen atom of one of the bidentate nitrates additionally serves to bridge pairs of Gd atoms so as to form a dinuclear complex in which each Gd atom is nine-coordinate with a tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry. Crystals of L₂HNO₃ are monoclinic, space groupI2/a witha=12.479(4),b=6.535(2),c=14.297(6)Å,=96.07(3)°,V=1159(1)ų,Z=4,D _c =1.45 g cm^–3, finalR=0.057. The pyridones are linked in pairs by very short (2.44 Å) symmetrical OHO hydrogen bonds. Each pair is further linked via a nitrate ion by means of N-HO(nitrate)H-N hydrogen bonds, so as to form an extended chevron-like pyridone-pyridone-nitrate-pyridone-pyridone array. Adjacent chains are linked via weak C-HO(NO₃) interactions.     

Molecular complexes of sulfonamides. Part 1. 1∶1 complexes between sulfadimidine [4-amino-N-(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)benzenesulfonamide] and 2- and 4-aminobenzoic acids

The crystal and molecular structures of the 11 complexes sulfadimidine·2-aminobenzoic acid (I) and sulfadimidine·4-aminobenzoic acid (II) are described and compared with known structures containing sulfadimidine.

The conformation of the sulfadimidine molecule inII is unusual for anN ¹-substituted arylsulfonamide. Molecular dimensions for the complexed aminobenzoic acids are virtually the same as those reported for the free acids. Partial correlation between carboxylic acid strengths and the hydrogen bonded NO distances is observed in sulfadimidine complexes of this type.
