Structure of azadirachtin-I, 11 β-H epimer

The 11 -H epimer of Azadirachtin-I, isolated from the seed kernels of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Neem), was characterized by both NMR and X-ray crystallographic techniques. NMR data reveals that the H11 proton is in -orientation and the X-ray studies confirm this observation. The compound crystallized in space group P2₁ with the cell parameters a = 11.933(2) Å, b = 7.752(5) Å, c = 17.241(9) Å, = 106.80(3). Though the structural features are similar to the 11 -H epimer of Azadirachtin-H, the orientation of the acetoxy group at C3 is different. The dihedral angle C9–C8–C14–O13, which describes the relative orientation of the modified decalin and modified furan moities of the molecule, is 23.3(8).

Eight methoxy substituted at the benzylidene moiety benzohydrazide derivatives [R = 2-OCH₃ (1), 3-OCH₃ (2), 4-OCH₃ (3), 2,3-(OCH₃)₂ (4), 3,4-(OCH₃)₂ (5), 2,4,5-(OCH₃)₃ (6), 2,4,6-(OCH₃)₃ (7), and 3,4,5-(OCH₃)₃ (8)] were synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR, FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 4 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (sp. gr. Pbca, Z = 8). The molecule is slightly twisted with the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings being 9.33(14)°. The methoxy group at the ortho position is twisted [C–O–C–C angle is–109.2(3)°] whereas the other at meta position is co-planar with the attached benzene ring. In the crystal packing, the molecules are linked into two-dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane by O–H···O, O–H···N, and N–H···O hydrogen bonds. Compounds 1–8 were evaluated for an antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities and the results suggested that the ?OCH₃ substituent was ineffective for bioactivity enhancement.

X-Ray Crystal Structure of Betulin–DMSO Solvate

Abstract  

Betulin is a lupane triterpenoid [lup-20(29)-ene-3β,28-diol, C₃₀H₅₀O₂] showing high biological activity. This activity is supposed to be strongly affected by the molecular structure of its polymorphic forms. Different solvate polymorphic forms of betulin have aroused increasing interest as the possible anticancer agents of natural origin. X-ray diffraction was used to investigate crystal structure of (1:1) betulin–DMSO solvate. Title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2₁2₁2₁ space group. Unit cell parameters are as follows: a = 7.0006(2) ?, b = 12.1623(3) ?, c = 33.6991(8) ?, Z = 4. Crystal packing and selected geometric parameters are described. It has been found that the hydrogen bonding and the dipole–dipole interaction between DMSO molecules play the major role in the formation of the crystal structure.     

Structure of amorphous GeSe thin films

Amorphous films of GeSe_0.7 and GeSe_2.4 have been examined by energy-filtered scanning electron diffraction and by electron microscopy. Radial distribution analysis of the GeSe_0.7 intensity curves indicates that the local atomic order of these films differs considerably from the distorted rocksalt structure of bulk crystalline GeSe. Radial distribution studies also indicate a change in the structure of GeSe_0.7 and GeSe_2.4 films supported on copper mesh as they are heated with an electron beam. Gross structural features are not observable in the electron micrographs of the amorphous films. This does not eliminate, however, the possibility of the presence of glassy phase separation on a fine scale in the heat-treated films.

Structure of N,N′,N″-tris(carboxymethyl)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide trihydrate

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₅N₃O₉·3H₂O, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group R with a = 13.642(5), b = 13.642(5), c = 18.692(5) Å, D _calc = 1.440 g cm³, and z = 6.

The dimers form extended sheets through hydrogen bond interaction with water molecules. The sheets are held together by hydrogen bonds via the water molecules. The planes of the benzenoid ring are parallel to each other.

Structure of N,N′-bis[3-(aminocarbonyl)propyl]sulfamide

The title compound, C₈H₁₈N₄O₄S, possesses C₂ symmetry, with the S atom lying on a twofold rotational axis in the unit cell. The sulfamide group of each molecule forms four identical hydrogen bonds with those of its four neighboring molecules, resulting in a rhombic two-dimensional hydrogen bonded network. This network assembles in the third dimension via hydrogen bonds between the primary amide groups of the substituents that extend from the 2D sulfamide sheets. The primary amide groups form a hydrogen-bonded eight-membered cyclic dimer around a two-fold rotational axis. These cyclic dimers are linked into a ribbon-like network via hydrogen bonding interaction between the trans-H and the carbonyl of the amide groups. The compound crystallizes in C2/ca with a = 8.6162(1), b = 57716(1), c = 24.8344(b) Å, = 96.298(1)°, D _calc = 1.441 g cm^–3, and Z = 4.
