In the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₆H₁₂N₃OS)], the 8‐am­inoquinoline and acyl­thio­urea moieties are almost planar. There are two perpendicular arrangements of the mol­ecules in the crystal with slightly different conformations. The two cyclo­penta­dienyl rings in each mol­ecule are parallel and eclipsed.     

Bis(4,4′‐bipyridinium) hexa­cyano­platinate(IV) bis­(4,4′‐bipyridine)

In the title compound, (C₁₀H₉N₂)₂[Pt(CN)₆]·2C₁₀H₈N₂ or [(Hbpy)⁺]₂[Pt(CN)₆]²⁻·2bpy, where bpy is 4,4′‐bipyridine, the Hbpy⁺ cations and bpy mol­ecules form a hydrogen‐bonded two‐dimensional cationic approximately square grid parallel to the (110) plane.

Dihalodimethyltin(IV) complexes of 2‐(pyrazol‐1‐ylmethyl)pyridine

Reaction of dichloro‐ and dibromodimethyltin(IV) with 2‐(pyrazol‐1‐ylmethyl)pyridine (PMP) afforded [SnMe₂Cl₂(PMP)] and [SnMe₂Br₂(PMP)] respectively. The new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and mass spectrometry and by IR, Raman and NMR (¹H, ¹³C) spectroscopies. Structural studies by X‐ray diffraction techniques show that the compounds consist of discrete units with the tin atom octahedrally coordinated to the carbon atoms of the two methyl groups in a trans disposition (Sn? C = 2.097(5), 2.120(5) Å and 2.110(6), 2.121(6) Å in the chloro and in the bromo compounds respectively), two cis halogen atoms (Sn? Cl = 2.4908(16), 2.5447(17) Å; Sn? Br = 2.6875(11), 2.7464(9) Å) and the two donor atoms of the ligand (Sn? N = 2.407(4), 2.471(4) Å and 2.360(5), 2.455(5) Å). In both cases, the Sn? N(pyridine) bond length is markedly longer than the Sn? N(pyrazole) distance. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

N,N′‐Dicyclohexyl‐N‐[4‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)butanoyl]urea

The title compound, C₂₅H₃₅N₃O₂, is a novel urea derivative. Pairs of intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds join the molecules into centrosymmetric R₂²(12) and R₂²(18) dimeric rings, which are alternately linked into one‐dimensional polymeric chains along the [010] direction. The parallel chains are connected via C—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate a two‐dimensional framework structure parallel to the (001) plane. The title compound was also modelled by solid‐state density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A comparison of the molecular conformation and hydrogen‐bond geometry obtained from the X‐ray structure analysis and the theoretical study clearly indicates that the DFT calculation agrees closely with the X‐ray structure.

Salicylaldehyde 4,4′‐(hexane‐1,6‐di­yl)­thio­semicarbazone

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₉N₃OS, is in the thio­keto form, with the thione S and hydrazine N atoms cis with respect to each other so that the S atom is involved in inter‐ and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds simultaneously. Inter­molecular C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in one‐dimensional polymeric chains of mol­ecules along the a axis. A weak C—H⋯π ring inter­action binds the polymeric chains together.     

NMR analysis of 6‐(2′,3′‐dihydro‐1′H‐inden‐1′‐yl)‐1H‐indene

¹H, ¹³C and two‐dimensional NMR analyses were applied to determine the NMR parameters of 6‐(2′,3′‐dihydro‐1′H‐inden‐1′‐yl)‐1H‐indene. The measurements were accomplished with 0.5 mg of the substance, this quantity being sufficient to determine the chemical shifts of all the H and C atoms, and also the appropriate coupling constants and to give the complete NMR resonance assignments of the molecule. The predicted patterns of the four different H atoms of the methylene groups of the indane structural element coincided completely with the complex patterns in the NMR spectra.

The sensor exhibited a fast response time of 10 s and could be used for about 5 months without any considerable divergence in potentials. The proposed sensor showed very good selectivity over most of the common cations including Na⁺, Li⁺, K⁺, Cu²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Ba²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺, Cd²⁺, Al³⁺, Fe³⁺and La³⁺.
