Crystal structure and low-temperature emission of 2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthrolinebis(triphenylphosphinesulfide)copper(I)

The synthesis and crystal structure of a luminescent Cu(I) complex containing triphenylphosphine sulfide and the -diimine 2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (dmp) is described. The coordination geometry about the Cu(I) center is pseudo-tetrahedral. Interplanar interactions between phenyl groups on the phosphine sulfide ligands and the phenanthroline exist, but are significantly less than those previously reported for the Cu(I) triphenylphosphine analog. The complex displays emission from a single metal-centered charge-transfer state at 77K in a 41 ethanol/methanol (v/v) glass. This is in contrast to the triphenylphosphine complex, which exhibits dual luminescence from a charge-transfer and an intraligand state at 77K. Crystal data: orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁,a=9.4226(9) Å,b=15.757(1) Å,c=30.494(6) Å,V=4527.4(6) ų, andR=0.053 (1021 reflections).

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.

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.     

Crystal and molecular structure of aquabis(2,2′-bipyridine)nitratomanganese(II) nitrate monohydrate

Molecular associations of hydrazones. X. Dihydrazones as twin-site donors

Molecular associations of dihydrazones of 1,2-diketones with tetracyanoethylene are investigated and compared with those of the corresponding monohydrazones, in order to verify the influence of the second donor centre on the equilibrium constants. As proved by X-ray determinations (complex 2,3-butandionemonophenylhydrazone/tetracyanoethylene), hydrogen bonding appears to play an important role in the lattice stabilization of monohydrazones complexes. C₁₀H₁₂N₂O·1/2C₆N₄,M _r =240.66, monoclinic,C2/c,a=12.216(2),b=12.824(3),c=16.784(2)Å,=93.74(2)°,Z=8,D _x=1.22 g cm^–3,V=2623.8(8)ų, room temperature, CuK, =1.5418 Å,=6.28 cm^–1,F(000)=1008,R=0.059 for 1398 independent observed reflections. The aromatic ring is planar and the tetracyanoethylene atoms are far more than 3.40 Å from its barycentre. Together with van der Waals forces, H-bonding between two faced hydrazono molecules realizes the packing in the crystal.     

4- and 5-nitroindane

Mononitration of indane produces a mixture of 4- and 5- nitroindanes. Crystallization from mixtures occurs after distillation improves composition of a major component to above 80%. 4-Nitroindane: triclinic, space group (#2),a=7.332(4) Å,b=8.304(4) Å,c=8.358(4) Å, =61.43(4)°, =67.60(4)°, =70.15(4)°,V=405.4(4) ų,Z=2. Non-H-atoms are nearly planar, aliphatic H's are eclipsed. 5-Nitroindane: monoclinic, space groupP2₁/c (#14),a=10.946(8) Å,b=15.643(10) Å,c=9.415(6) Å, =92.34(5)°,V=1611(2) ų,Z=8. Non-H-atoms in the two molecules differ in torsion of the nitro group with respect to indane and fold of the nonbenzylic methylene group. Semiempirical calculations (PM3) suggest that distorsion from planarity may be associated with the two lowest energy vibrational modes. Uv, ir, ms, proton, and¹³C-nmr spectra are correlated with the solid state structures.
