Reactions of 2-aminopicolines with 2- and 4-tolyl isothiocyanates yielded N-2-(4-picolyl)-N-4-tolylthiourea, 1, N-2-(3-picolyl)-N-4-tolylthiourea, 2, and N-2-(4-picolyl)-N-2-tolylthiourea, 3. Compound 1 is monoclinic, of space group P2₁/c with a = 7.456(1) Å, b = 13.135(3) Å, c = 13.959(3) Å, = 104.99(3)°, and V = 1320.5(5) ų with Z = 4, for d _calc = 1.294 g/cm³. Compound 2 is triclinic, of space group with a = 6.877(3) Å, b = 7.590(5) Å, c = 13.213(9) Å, = 78.38(2)°, = 77.96(4)°, = 86.36(4)°, and V = 660.5(7) ų with Z = 2, for d _calc = 1.294 g/cm³. Compound 3 is monoclinic, of space group P2₁/c with a = 12.604(2) Å, b = 15.592(3) Å, c = 6.875(2) Å, = 91.05(2)°, and V = 1350.9(2) ų with Z = 4, for d _calc = 1.265 g/cm³. The three thioureas are found in both solid state and solution in a conformation resulting from intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Compounds 1 and 3 present an intermolecular hydrogen bond involving the thione sulfur and the NH hydrogen, which is not present in 2 owing to the steric hindrance of the methyl group in the phenyl ring. The geometry of the molecule is affected by the position of the methyl groups on the pyridine and aryl rings.     

Formation and optical properties of (R2O or R′O)Nb2O5Ga2O3 glasses

Glass-forming tendencies of melts in the systems (alkali oxide or alkaline earth oxide)-Nb₂O₅Ga₂O₃ were examined by an ordinary crucible-melting technique. The glass-forming tendency increased with increasing radius of alkali or alkaline earth ion in the respective groups. Clear glasses were obtained on a practically useful scale in the systems (K₂O or Cs₂O)Nb₂O₅Ga₂O₃ and (SrO or BaO)Nb₂O₅Ga₂O₃. The infrared absorption spectra indicated that the Ga³⁺ ions in the glasses are tetrahedrally coordinated with oxygen ions. The glasses showed high optical transmissions from the ultraviolet region of 0.3 μm in wavelength to the infrared region of 7 μm, except for a region near 3 μm. The absorption near 3 μm, which is attributed to OH vibration, could be eliminated by replacing part of the carbonate in the raw materials with a fluoride and melting the mixture of raw materials in a dry N₂ gas atmosphere. The glass-forming tendencies of the melts and the optical transmissions of the glasses were discussed in terms of the glass structure.

The electronic nature of the substituents and the structure of 4,4′-dipyridilium dications. The crystal structure of N,N′-di(carbethoxymethyl)-4,4′-dipyridilium diperchlorate

The crystal structure of N,N′-di(carbethoxymethyl)-4,4′-dipyridilium diperchlorate (I) C₁₈H₂₂Cl₂N₂O₁₂ at 293 K is determined by the X-ray diffraction technique. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 5.501(1) Å, b = 26.460(5) Å, c = 8.140(2) Å, β = 100.63(3)°, space group P2₁/n, Z = 2, 2271 reflections measured (2052 reflections unique), R ₁ = 0.062, and wR2 = 0.141 for 1161 reflections with F ≥ 4σ(F). The interaction between the lone-electron pair of the carbonyl oxygen atom of the electron-withdrawing ester group and the π system of the dication manifests itself as the intramolecular O(1)?N contact (2.780 Å). In the absence of charge transfer from the counterion to the dication, this interaction contributes to the stabilization of a planar structure of the dication fragment of the molecule despite the electron-withdrawing nature of the ester groups.

The crystal and molecular structure of catena-[(-acetato) (-phthalazine)-silver(I)dihydrate], {[Ag(O₂CCH₃) (C₈H₆N₂)(H₂O)₂]₂}_n, has been determined by single crystal X-ray analysis: the space group is P2₁/n,a=16.150(8) Å,b=3.886(5) Å,c=18.716(9) Å, =96.02(5)°,V=1168 ų.

The acetates also form an asymrnetric chelate ring with the silver atoms which result in a distorted, square pyramidal configuration. The complex is further characterized by its IR and thermal properties.

In the new hexaborate and the refined pentaborate Ba₂[B₅O₈(OH)₂]OH, in which the polyanions adopt an orientation in layers unusual for pentaborates, thermal vibrations of the terminal groups were revealed.

The crystal structure of the related pentaborate Ba₅[B₂₀O₃₃(OH)₄]H₂O was considered. The factors most likely responsible for the difference in the second-harmonic generation signal for this pair were revealed.
