Crystal and Molecular Structure of Monoammonium Salt of 5‐nitroaminotetrazole

Xray structural investigation of the monoammonium salt of 5nitroaminotetrazole was performed. The crystals are orthorhombic: a = 10.077(1), b = 17.009(1), c = 6.6472(6), V = 1139.33(17)³, space group Pbca, Z =8, _calc = 1.715 g/cm³. Monodeprotonation of 5nitroaminotetrazole during formation of the salt occurs at the N(4) nitrogen atom of the heterocycle. The anion has an almost flat structure; the bond lengths suggest delocalization of electron density in the molecule. The negative charge is distributed among three nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms of the anion. Changes in the geometrical parameters of 5nitroaminotetrazole on monodeprotonation are considered.

Crystal Structure Study of the Metastable β-modification of Glycine and its Transformation into the α-modification

Crystal structure refinement was performed of the metastable modification of glycine (space gr. P2₁, a = 5.092(2) , b = 6.273(3) , c = 5.384(3), = 113.17(4)°, Z = 2, R = 0.0274). The crystals were obtained by a new method (not described in the literature): they were precipitated from a water solution with the addition of glacial acetic acid. The crystal structure of the glycine modification [space gr. P2₁/n, a =5.106(1) , b = 11.979(5) , c = 5.463(2) , = 111.75(2)°:, Z =4] was refined for comparison. Transition from the to the modification in a damp atmosphere was revealed, resulting in the formation of a strongly strained crystal of a mosaic structure. The orientation of the crystallographic axes in the newly formed crystal of the modification relative to the axes in the initial crystal of the modification was determined. It is shown that as in glycine, the lengths of the intramolecular C—O bonds in the modification are fairly similar [1.248(2) and 1.253(2) ] and the previously found significant difference between them is most likely due to the errors of the photomethod. A comparative analysis of the crystal structures of the and glycine modifications (glycine zwitterion packings and structure of intermolecular hydrogen bond networks) was performed. Data of the analysis are used to discuss the properties of the glycine modifications, the possible reasons for the stability of the modification in dry air, the difficulties of crystal growth from solutions, and the ease of crystallization of the modification under various conditions.

Coordination chemistry of alkali and alkaline earth cations: Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of cesium (picrate) (benzo-15-crown-5) Cs+C6H2N3O 7 − (C14H20O5)

Crystals of the Cs⁺ Pic^– (B15C5) complex (Pic=picrate; B15C5=benzo-15-crown-5) (M _r =629.3) are yellow prisms which belong to the triclinic space groupP witha=7.377(4),b=11.372(2),c=14.806(2) , =90.31(1), =91.06(2), =108.32(2)⁰,Z=2,D _x =1.77, andD _m =1.77 g cm^–3. FinalR=0.055 for 3575 observed reflections out of a total of 4004 measured reflections. Cesium forms a 1:1 anion paired complex with B15C5 like sodium rather than a charge separated sandwich structure as found for potassium and expected for cesium in view of the ion-cavity radius concept. The Cs cation is 9-coordinate involving the five crown oxygens (Cs...O, 3.00(1) to 3.24(1) ), the phenoxide (Cs...O^–, 3.03(1) ) and anortho nitro group oxygen (Cs...O, 3.01(1) ) of the picrate counteranion and, uniquely, with two additional oxygens (Cs...O, 3.17(1) and 3.40(1) ) from apara nitro group of the picrate belonging to the adjacent molecule in the lattice. The Cs⁺ ion lies 2.07 out of the mean plane formed by the crown oxygens. This system provides the first structural evidence that the interaction stoichiometry of an alkali cation with a cyclic multidentate ligand is not a function of the ion and cavity size alone but also of its Lewis acid strength as modified by the charge neutralizing anion.
