Vibrational spectra and structure ofN,N-dinitromethylamine

The vibrational (IR and Raman) spectra ofN,N-dinitromethylamine were studied. The assignments of the bands were carried out using a comparison of spectra obtained in different aggregate states, invoking the results of normal coordinate analysis. The most probable symmetry of the molecule was shown to beC _s with a planar configuration of the N(NO₂)₂ moiety.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactions of isomeric 3,6- and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinones with NH3

The interaction of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (1) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone (2) with NH₃ in water—alcohol medium and with (NH₄)₂CO₃ in a solid phase has been studied.

Synthesis,spectroscopic studies,antimicrobial activity,and crystal structure of a Zn(II) complex based on Voriconazole

[Zn(FZ)₂Cl₂] (1) (FZ = Voriconazole, (2R,3S)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3(5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-ol), has been obtained through the reaction of zinc chloride and FZ and has been characterized by FT-IR, UV–vis and fluorescence spectra, elemental analysis (EA), single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FZ was also characterized by FT-IR, UV–vis spectra, single crystal X-ray diffraction and TGA. FZ crystallizes in the chiral space group P2₁ and 1 crystallizes in chiral space group P₁ with a mononuclear structure. In 1, there are three kinds of hydrogen bonding interactions and weak stacking interactions which generate a 3-D architecture. The primary antimicrobial results show that 1 exhibits potent activity against Aspergillus (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus) and Candida species (Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida glabrata and Cryptococcus neoformans), higher than that of free FZ. Fluorescence spectra of 1 and FZ have been discussed.

The infrared spectrum and force field of the methyl-ammonium ion in (CH3NH3)2PtCl6

Infrared spectra of the CH₃NH₃⁺, CH₃ND₃⁺, CD₃NH₃⁺ and CD₃ND₃⁺ ions in bis(methylammonium)hexachloroplatinate(IV) have been recorded. The spectra are entirely consistent with the C_3v symmetry reported for the methylammonium ion, at temperatures between room temperature and 90 K. No spectral manifestations of the phase transition, which in (CH₃NH₃)₂PtCl₆ has been reported to take place at 125 K, were observed. Assignments of the infrared-active fundamentals have been made for each ion and a normal-coordinate analysis has been performed using the observed fundamental frequencies. Comparison with the infrared spectra of other methylammonium salts shows that hydrogen bonding in (CH₃NH₃)₂PtCl₆, if present, is weak.     

Dinitramide and its salts

Mercury(u) dinitramidate Hg(N₃O₄)₂ (MDNA) has been synthesized.

THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF AMMONIUM AND SODIUM 2-AMINO-3,5-DICHLOROBENZOATES

Abstract

The crystal structures of ammonium and sodium 2-amino-3,5-dichlorobenzoates were determined by the X-ray diffraction method. The ammonium salt crystallizes in the monoclinic system (space group P2₁/c) with a = 13.941(3), b = 9.128(3), c = 7.349(2) Å, β = 90.80(3)° and Z = 4. The structure consists of an ammonium cation hydrogen bonded to a carboxylate oxygen of the 2-amino-3,5-dichlorobenzoate anion. The sodium salt of 2-amino-3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid crystallizes in the triclinic system (space group P 1) with a = 8.033(2), 6 = 8.944(2), c = 17.350(3) Å, α = 76.72(3)°, β = 79.69(3)°, γ = 72.54(3)° and Z = 4. The compound is a polymer in which the sodium ions are coordinated by carboxylate oxygen atoms of the organic ligand and water molecules in an octahedral arrangement. IR spectra of the salts are discussed.     

Analysis of chiroptical properties of π-allyl complex [Pd(β-pinenyl)Cl]2

Electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the optically active [Pd(-pincnyl)Cl]₂ complex (1) have been studied. The assignment of the bands in the circular dichroism spectrum in the d—d-transition region of complex1 was made within the framework of the one-electron model of optical activity; this assignment is in agreement with the literature data on the analysis of the absorption spectrum of (Pd(allyl)Cl]₂. The (1R,2S,3S,5R) absolute configuration was suggested for the optical (+)₅₈₉-isomer of1 studied.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1559–1561, June, 1996.     

Oxidation of 1-hydrazino-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline. X-ray,spectroscopic, and quantum-chemical study of the structure of 3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisocarbostyryl azine

3,3-Dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisocarbostyryl azine (2) has been synthesized by oxidation of l-hydrazino-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline (1). The crystal and molecular structures of compound 2 were determined. It has been established that in the solid state, compound2 exists as an azine tautomer. The IR, electronic, and NMR spectral data indicate that in solution the tautomeric form of2 does not change. A possible mechanism of the oxidation of1 to2 is suggested.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2468–2474, December, 1995.The authors are grateful to Professor V.

Preparation and investigation of the crystals formed in the buckminsterfullerene-tetraselenotetracene-carbon disulfide system

Crystals containing up to 30 wt. % CS₂, according to the data of IR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, were isolated from the C₆₀-TSeT-CS₂ (TSeT is tetraselenotetracene) system. The unusually high concentration of carbon disulfide results in the complete sublimation of the crystals at a relatively high temperature (520 °C). The electron energy loss spectra of the crystals obtained were measured and analyzed.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Polyhedral boron nitride molecules

The geometrical and electronic structures of two isomers (1 and2) of the polyhedral boron nitride molecule, B₁₂N₁₂, have been calculated using the MNDO method. Structure1 having the form of a truncated octahedron is more energetically preferable (ΔH _f ⁰=−128 kcal mol⁻¹) than isomer2, which hasC _6v symmetry. The equilibrium geometries of the N₆B₆(CH₂)₆ isomers (3 and4), which simulate fragments of structure2, have been calculated. The stabilization mechanism of the N₆ nitrogen cluster (hexaazabenzene) in polyhedral structures is discussed. The parameters calculated for molecules1 and2 have been correlated with the corresponding characteristics of their carbon analogs. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The linear trinuclear cobalt(II) complex [Co₃(pytrz)₆(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₆ (1) with pytrz = 4-(2-pyridine)-1,2,4-triazole has been prepared and characterized. It crystallizes in the rhombohedral R-3 space group with Z = 3, a = 13.955(2), b = 13.955(2), c = 28.942(9) Å, γ = 120°, V = 4881.2(18) ų. The structure of 1 comprises the cation [Co₃(pytrz)₆(H₂O)₆]⁶⁺, in which linear trinuclear Co(II) units are bridged by six L ligands and have six aqua molecules as terminal ligands. The six free nitrates link the terminal aqua ligands through N–H ··· O hydrogen bonds with C₃ symmetry. 1 was characterized by FT-IR, electronic spectra and magnetic measurements. The variable-temperature magnetic measurements reveal weak anti-ferromagnetic interactions in 1.     

Synthesis and reactivity of furazanyl- and furoxanyldiazonium salts

Diazotization of aminofurazans (1) and 4-aminofuroxans (2) with nitrosylsulfuric acid in a mixture of conc. H₂SO₄ and H₃PO₄ has been studied and offered as a general method for preparing furazanyl- (3) and furoxanyldiazonium (4) salts. It has been shown that reactions with the retention of the N-N-group (azo coupling, formation of triazenes and azides) are typical of salts3 and4, while elimination of the N₂ molecule (Sandmeyer reaction, hydrolysis, reduction) is not typical.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Crown-ether styryl dyes

Styryl dyes (4a,b) containing a 15-crown-5 fragment and isomeric 2- and 4-quinolinium residues with anN-sulfopropyl substituent undergo [2+2]-autophotocycloaddition to give cyclobutane derivatives (9a,b) in acetonitrile only in the presence of Mg(ClO₄)₂ or Ca(ClO₄)₂. The stereospecificity of both pathways of photocycloaddition and its efficiency are explained by the preorganization of the supramolecular dimers derived from thetrans-isomers of the dyes when they are bound into complexes with Mg and Ca cations.For Part 14, see Ref. 1.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
