Abstract  

Crystals of the dimeric β-peptides 13 and 20, derived from (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid and (1S,2R,3S)-2-amino-3-methylcyclopentanecarboxylic acid, respectively, were synthesised and studied by X-ray diffraction in order to establish their solid state secondary structural characteristics. Compound 13 crystallises in the monoclinic space group P 2 ₁ with cell parameters of a = 5.2682(1) ?, b = 9.1211(2) ?, c = 22.4467(6) ?, β = 91.3855(9)°, V = 1078.29(4) ?³ and Z = 2. Compound 20 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P 2 ₁ 2 ₁ 2 ₁ with cell parameters of a = 5.0968(1) ?, b = 11.5546(2) ?, c = 43.5414(8) ?, V = 2564.22(8) ?³ and Z = 4.

The X-Ray Structure and Spectroscopic Characterization of [Zn(H2O)6][{Zn(H2O)}2(ttha)]·4H2O (ttha?=?Triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N?,N?-hexaacetate)

Abstract  

[Zn(H₂O)₆][{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]·4H₂O (ttha = triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N‴,N‴-hexaacetate) has been structurally characterized (triclinic, P-1, a = 7.4014(4) ?, b = 8.5521(4) ?, c = 15.0309(7) ?, α = 73.582(1)°, β = 85.173(1)°, γ = 69.935(1)°; V = 857.15(7) ?³; Z = 1). The two Zn²⁺ ions bound by the [ttha]⁻⁶ ligand are in distorted octahedral environments. While there exists a center of symmetry in the [{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]²⁻ anion in the crystalline state, ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopy demonstrates the absence of a center of symmetry in aqueous solution. Furthermore, electronic absorption spectroscopy reveals that [Zn(H₂O)₆][{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]·4H₂O reacts with vanadyl(IV) acetate in aqueous solution at room temperature to yield [(VO)₂(ttha)]²⁻. This reaction implies that Zn²⁺ can dissociate from [{Zn(H₂O)}₂(ttha)]²⁻ in aqueous solution.

The sixth coordination site is occupied by a weakly bound γ-picoline molecule. The adjacent molecules are joined by the N–H···O hydrogen bonds between their amino and methoxy groups thus forming infinite molecular chains. The three-dimensional solid-state structure is achieved by the additional C–H···O, C–H···π and van der Waals interactions. Graphical Abstract  In the title compound, [MoO₂L(γ-pic)], the tridentate thiosemicarbazonato ligand (L²⁻) is meridionally bound to the [MoO₂]²⁺ core, while a molecule of γ-picoline completes the distorted octahedral coordination around the metal atom.

The crystal structure of I and II were determined with crystal data (I: Monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 4.746(2) ?, b = 5.737(3) ?, c = 17.399(7) ?, β = 91.667(7)o, R _all = 0.0703; II: Orthorhombic, Pna2₁, a = 18.209(8) ?, b = 11.463(5) ?, c = 7.539(3) ?, β = 90.00 o, R _all = 0.0481). N–H···N hydrogen bonds were responsible for the formation of one-dimensional zigzag molecular chains of I, and trifurcated hydrogen-bonded molecular chains were indicated in structure of II. C–H···π and C–H···N hydrogen bonds were found in both structures. All these types of interaction together form an extended three-dimensional network and stabilize the title crystals.

Two ligand isomers [Zn{4-ClC₆H₃-2-(OH)COO}₂(Menia)₂(H₂O)₂] (I) and [Zn{5-ClC₆H₃-2-(OH)COO}₂(Menia)₂(H₂O)₂] (II) (Menia = N-methylnicotinamide) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis.

Compound (II) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P[`1] P\bar{1} . Its cell parameters are: a = 8.133(1) ?, b = 10.119(2) ?, c = 10.428(1) ?, α = 66.44(1)°, β = 74.32(1)°, γ = 80.16(1)°, V = 755.5(2) ?³, Z = 1. The molecular structure of both isomers is monomeric.

Single Crystal XRD Structure Determination and Analysis of Bis(2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)(Sulfato-κ2O,O′)Nickel(II), Hydrate (NiNeo2SO4·H2O; Neo: 2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline)

Abstract  

The title compound is monomeric with a Ni(II) hexacoordinated center. The coordination sphere is formed with four nitrogens from two neocuproine molecules and two oxygens from a sulfate ion that acts as a bidentate ligand. A water molecule completes the formula with an important role in the stabilization of the structure through the formation of O_W–H···O_S bridges, in which it acts as a donor and interactions of the type C_ar–H···O_W and C_Met–H···O_W, where it is an acceptor group (W: water; S: sulfate; ar: arene; Met: methyl). The compound is monoclinic, space group P2₁ /c with a = 14.4829(4) ?, b = 14.4563(4) ?, c = 12.1559(3) ?, β = 94.407(1)°, V = 2,537.55(12) ?³ and Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods with a conventional R (on F) = 0.0359 for 4841 reflexions with Fo > 4σ(Fo). Three levels of super-structural hierarchy can be identified in the crystal construction: (1) the primary structure corresponding to the molecular skeletons of their building blocks, the isolated complex itself and the water molecule, (2) an 1D supramolecular array that form chains through a non-covalent polymerization via interactions O_W–H···O_S, C_ar–H···O_W, C_ar–H···O_S and C_Met–H···O_W and (3) finally the 3D macroscopic conglomerate formed through inter-chains interactions C_ar–H···O_W, C_ar–H···O_S, C_Met–H···ar and offset stacked arene–arene.     

Crystal and molecular structure of Sr2( Edta ) · 5H2O, Sr2(H2 Edta )(HCO3)2 · 4H2O, and Sr2(H2 Edta )Cl2 · 5H2O strontium ethylenediaminetetraacetates

Three Sr²⁺ compounds with the Edta ⁴⁻ and H₂ Edta ²⁻ ligands—Sr₂(Edta) · 5H₂O (I), Sr₂(H₂ Edta)(HCO₃)₂ · 4H₂O (II), and Sr₂(H₂ Edta)Cl₂ · 5H₂O (III)—are synthesized, and their crystal structures are studied. In I, the Sr(1) atom is coordinated by the hexadentate Edta ⁴⁻ ligand following the 2N + 4O pattern and by two O atoms of the neighboring ligands, which affords the formation of zigzag chains. The Sr(2) atom forms bonds with O atoms of five water molecules and attaches itself to a chain via bonds with three O atoms of the Edta ⁴⁻ ligands. The Sr(1)-O and Sr(2)-O bond lengths fall in the ranges 2.520(2)–2.656(3) and 2.527(3)–2.683(2) ?, respectively. The Sr(1)-N bonds are 2.702(3) and 2.743(3) ? long. In II and III, the H₂ Edta ²⁻ anions have a centrosymmetric structure with the trans configuration of the planar ethylenediamine fragment. The N atoms are blocked by acid protons. In II, the environment of the Sr atom is formed by six O atoms of three H₂ Edta ligands, two O atoms of water molecules, and an O atom of the bicarbonate ion, which is disordered over two positions. In III, the environment of the Sr atom includes six O atoms of four H₂ Edta ²⁻ ligands and three O atoms of water molecules. The coordination number of the Sr atoms is equal to 8 + 1. In II and III, the main bonds fall in the ranges 2.534(3)–2.732(2) and 2.482(2)–2.746(3) ?, whereas the ninth bond is elongated to 2.937(3) and 3.055(3) ?, respectively. In II, all the structural elements are linked into wavy layers. The O-H…O interactions contribute to the stabilization of the layer and link neighboring layers. In III, hydrated Sr²⁺ cations and H₂ Edta ^– anions form a three-dimensional [Sr₂(H₂ Edta)(H₂O)₃] _n ²ⁿ⁺ framework. The Cl⁻ anions are fixed in channels of the framework by hydrogen bonds with four water molecules. In II and III, the N-H groups form four-center N-H…O₃ hydrogen bonds, which include one intermolecular and two intramolecular components. PACS numbers: 61.66.Hq Original Russian Text ? I.N.
