Abstract  

New hydrazinium copper(II) hydrogen ethylenediaminetetraacetate monohydrate, [N₂H₅Cu(HEDTA)]H₂O has been prepared and characterized by analytical, spectral and thermal techniques. The conductivity value indicates the non-electrolyte nature of the complex. Analytical and bond length measurements indicate the distorted octahedral geometry around the copper ion with EDTA acting as pentadentate ligand. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined from single crystal X-ray analysis. The complex crystallizes in orthorhombic system; space group Pccn. The unit cell parameters are a = 25.1858(14) ?, B = 7.3305(4) ?, C = 15.8291(9) ?, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°, V = 2,922.4(3) ?³ and Z = 8. The copper ion is six coordinated, three carboxylate oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms from EDTA occupy five coordination sites, while the sixth site is occupied by hydrazinium cation and a water molecule present outside coordination sphere as lattice water. The complex undergo multi-step degradation to give copper oxide as the final residue.     

Propeller-like Conformation of Diphenylacetic Acid

Abstract Crystal structure of diphenylacetic acid has been solved by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, with a = 12.254(4) ?, b = 7.2260(8) ?, c = 17.521(4) ?, β = 133.38(1)°, Mr = 212.24, V = 1127.6(5) ?³, Z = 4 and R = 0.045. A strong hydrogen bond links the molecules in dimers. The dimers are connected by weaker C–H···π and π···π interactions. A calculation was performed for the isolated molecule and for the dimer within the Hartree-Fock (HF) level with a 6-311G(d) basis set. In both calculations, the minimum of the energy is achieved with the phenyl rings assuming a more symmetric arrangement around the central carboxylic plane than is experimentally observed. Graphical Abstract In diphenylacetic acid the molecules are coupled in dimers by a strong hydrogen bonds. Weaker intermolecular interactions involving the aromatic ring π systems join the dimers together.

An X-Ray Crystallographic Study of Five Compounds from a Series of 1,x-<Emphasis Type="Italic">bis</Emphasis>-(4-Oxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzotriazin-3-yl)alkanes

Abstract  

The crystal structures of a series of bis-(4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1,2,3-benzotriazin-3-yl)alkanes, compounds 5 to 9, have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural parameters of the triazinone rings in the five compounds do not display systematic differences with respect to those reported for a few analogous compounds. The benzotriazinone rings in 5 and 9 are almost perpendicular to the alkylic chain. The molecules in the crystal packing are linked by means of a weak C–H···X H-bond (X = N/O). Compound 6 has two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit; one of the molecules displays disorder within the benzotriazinone moiety linked in position 1 to the propane alkylic group. The disordered molecule displays two conformations of the benzotriazinone linked in position 1 to the propane bridge. Compound 8 also displays disorder within the benzotriazinone moiety linked in position 1 to the pentane alkylic spacer group. The molecules of compound 7, in the crystal packing, also form intra and inter-molecular C–H···X (X = N/O) hydrogen bonds. None of these compounds show any tendency to adopt a folded conformation with intramolecular π–π stacking between benzotriazinone units.

Syntheses and crystal structures of an organometallic thiosemicarbazone and an organometallic enehydrazide

Reactions of ferrocenoylacetone with thiosemicarbazide and isonicotinic acid hydrazide generate an organometallic thiosemicarbazone 1 and enehydrazide 2, respectively. The complexes 1 and 2, which can be formulated as [C₅H₅FeC₅H₄C(O)CH₂C(=NNHCSNH₂)CH₃] and [C₅H₅FeC₅H₄C(O)CH=C(NHNHCOC₅H₄N-4)CH₃], have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, UV and were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 (C₁₅H₁₇FeN₃OS) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with lattice constants: a = 13.939(3) ?, b = 8.2600(17) ?, c = 13.176(3) ?, β = 94.83(3)°, V = 1511.7(6) ?³, Z = 4, D _c = 1.508 g cm⁻³, F(000) = 712, R ₁ = 0.0602, wR ₂ = 0.1526. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonds N–H···S (N···S = 3.356(8) and 3.499(7) ?, N–H···S = 168 and 170°) form a chain in the [010] direction. The intermolecular hydrogen bond C–H···O (C···O = 3.432(10) ?, C–H···O = 151°) leads to a [010] double-chain through each unit cell. The intermolecular hydrogen bond C–H···O (C···O = 3.359(10) ?, C–H···O = 173°) makes the [010] double-chain pack along the c axis to result in a two-dimensional network. Complex 2 (C₂₀H₁₉FeN₃O₂) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with lattice constants: a = 14.091(2) ?, b = 10.024(2) ?, c = 13.806(2) ?, β = 112.41(2)°, V = 1802.8(6) ?³, Z = 4, D _c = 1.434 g cm⁻³, F(000) = 808, R ₁ = 0.0576, wR ₂ = 0.1593. The strong intramolecular hydrogen bond N–H···O from the enamine N atom and carbonyl O atom stabilizes the enehydrazide. The intermolecular hydrogen bonds N–H···O and C–H···O (N···O = 2.906(6) ?, N–H···O = 155° C···O = 3.364(6) ?, C–H···O = 153°) generate a [010] chain. The intermolecular hydrogen bond N–H···O (N···O = 2.989(6) ?, N–H···O = 128°) forms a [010] double-chain through each unit cell. The π···π stacking interation involving the pyridyl groups makes the [010] double-chain pack along the c axis to lead to a two-dimensional network.

Crystal data: triclinic, P $\overline 1$ , a = 9.334(2) Å, b = 10.639(2) Å, c = 10.661(2) Å, α = 112.65(3)°, β = 93.84(3)°, γ = 115.84(3)°, V = 843.4(3) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0581, R _w = 0.1674.     

Crystal Structure of an Adduct of Sarcosine with Sulfuric Acid (at 140 K)

The crystal structure of an adduct of sarcosine with sulfuric acid, (C₃NO₂H₈)₂SO²⁻₄, has been determined at low temperature (140 K). The crystals are triclinic, space group = P1 with the unit cell dimensions, a= 7.623(1) Å, b = 11.538(2) Å, c = 14.214(2) Å, α = 71.46(2)°, β = 74.36(2)°, γ = 86.46(2)°. Based on 4924 reflections with intensities larger than 3σ(I), the structure was refined to a conventional R factor of 0.038 giving e.s.d.s. in bond lengths and angles of 0.003 Å and 0.2°, respectively. There are two formula units in the asymmetric unit and both sulfate ions exist in two disordered orientations. The sulfate group 1 occupies the two orientations in the proportion 0.82/0.18 and sulfate group 2 in proportion 0.69/0.31. Both Orientations of the sulfate groups satisfy the hydrogen bonding scheme equally well. There is also a pseudo-symmetry element within the asymmetric unit as one half of this unit is transformcd into the other by a translation of approximately one half along the b- and c-axes. Thus, sarcosine molecule 1 is translated to sarcosine IV and sarcosine II to III. In the same manner, the sulfate group I in its main orientation is translated to the sulfate group 2 in its alternative orientation and vice versa.

Crystal Structure of [4-(Methylsulfanyl)Phenyl]Acetic Acid

Abstract  

The title compound, C₉H₁₀O₂S, (I), crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P − 1, with unit cell parameters a = 6.2249(3), b = 7.3733(5), c = 19.5708(12), Å, α = 86.746(5)°, β = 88.682(5)°, γ = 86.988(5)°, Z = 4. The molecule consists of a methyl sulfanyl group bonded to benzyl acetic acid at the 4 position crystallizing with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The carboxylic acid group from the acetic acid moiety in these two molecules forms a classic O–H···O hydrogen bonded dimer with O···O distances of 2.673(2) and 2.646(2) Å, in a R₂² (8) graph-set motif which link the molecules into pairs around inversion centers in the unit cell. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the R₂² (8) graph-set motif with the mean planes of the two nearby benzyl groups within the same dimer in the unit cell are 64.1(6)° and 71.3(4)°, respectively. Within the same dimer the dihedral angle between the two benzyl groups is 45.2(1)°. The structure is supported by a weak intermolecular C–H···Cg π-ring interaction and gives support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell. Comparison to a MOPAC AM1 computational calculation provides support to these observations.

The structure of tris-chloro[2,6-bis(2′-pyridyl)-4-(2′-pyridinium)-1,3,5-triazine]cobalt(II) monohydrate, [Co(C₁₈H₁₃N₆)Cl₃]·H₂O (C2/c (No. 15), a=7.783(11), b=22.42(3), c=11.001(15) ?, β=90.05(2)°), crystallized from the open air reaction of CoCl₂ and 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine in the ionic liquid, N-butyl-N-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide is reported. The structure consists of six coordinate cobalt in an octahedral geometry bonded to the tridentate tptz ligand and three chlorines. The non-coordinating pyridyl group in the tptz ligand is protonated (with the protonated nitrogen crystallographically disordered over two possible sites), providing overall charge neutrality for the complex.
