Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 2.3475(5), b = 1.2208(2), c = 1.9499(4) nm, β = 114.682(3)o, V = 5.0778(16) nm3, Dc = 1.339 g/cm3, Z = 4, μ(MoKα) = 0.458 mm-1, F(000) = 2168, GOOF = 1.014, R = 0.0401 and wR = 0.0961.

Synthesis and Characterization of Li(11)Nd(18)Fe(4)O(39-δ)

Li(11)Nd(18)Fe(4)O(39-δ) has been synthesized by the solid-state reaction of pellets, covered with powder of the same composition to avoid lithium loss, with a final reaction temperature of 950 °C. This phase has been reported previously to have various stoichiometries: Li(5)Nd(4)FeO(10), Li(8)Nd(18)Fe(5)O(39), and Li(1.746)Nd(4.494)FeO(9.493). The crystal structure of Li(11)Nd(18)Fe(4)O(39-δ) is closely related to that reported previously for two of the other three compositions but contains extra Li and differences in Li/Fe site occupancies. Fe is present in a mixture of 3+ and 4+ oxidation states, as confirmed by M?ssbauer spectroscopy. The oxygen content of 39 - δ is variable, depending on the processing conditions. Samples slow-cooled in air from 800 °C are semiconducting, attributed to the presence of Fe(4+) ions, whereas samples quenched from 950 °C in N(2) are insulating.

Synthesis, characterization and ion exchange properties of the framework sodium titanium germanate Na3H(TiO)3(GeO)(GeO4)3·7H2O

Sodium titanium germanate with a semicrystalline framework (STG) of the formula Na₃H(TiO)₃(GeO)(GeO₄)₃·7H₂O was synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions and its proton form, H₄(TiO)₃(GeO)(GeO₄)₃·8H₂O (STG-H), was prepared by acid treatment of the sodium compound. The STG was characterized by elemental analysis, TGA, FT-IR, and X-ray powder diffraction. A comparative ion exchange examination of the STG-H towards alkali and alkaline earth metals in a broad pH and concentration range was carried out. It was found that the STG is a moderately weak cation exchanger, possessing high ion exchange capacity (up to 4.0 meq/g) and showing preference for heavy alkali and alkaline earth metals. The STG selectivity towards Cs⁺ and Sr²⁺ ions in the presence of competitive metal ions and certain organic compounds was also studied. The data obtained suggest that the sodium titanium germanate is a more selective exchanger for Sr²⁺ ion than its titanium silicate analogue, K₃H(TiO)₄(SiO₄)₃·4H₂O.     

Resonance Raman and infrared spectra of [CH3C5H4NiPh2PC3H6PPh2]·B11H14

Resonance Raman and infrared spectra of (C₂H₅)₄NB₁₁H₁₄ are reported.

The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes CuBF₄ · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O (I) and CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) (II) were obtained by alternating-current electrosynthesis and studied by X-ray diffraction: I, space group P2₁/n, a = 10.226(8), b = 13.233(10), c = 16.30(1) Å, β = 98.13(1)°, V = 2249(2) ų, Z = 4, R = 0.0705, 577 reflections; I, space group P $ P\bar 1 The crystals of copper(I) π-complexes CuBF₄ · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O (I) and CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) (II) were obtained by alternating-current electrosynthesis and studied by X-ray diffraction: I, space group P2₁/n, a = 10.226(8), b = 13.233(10), c = 16.30(1) ?, β = 98.13(1)°, V = 2249(2) ?³, Z = 4, R = 0.0705, 577 reflections; I, space group P , a = 8.8625(7), b = 9.0647(4), c = 9.1650(5) ?, α = 68.37(2)°, β = 85.31(3)°, γ = 69.86(2)°, V = 646(4) ?³, Z = 2, R = 0.1354, 2669 reflections. In compound I, the tetrahedrally distorted trigonal pyramidal environment of the copper atom comprises two nitrogen atoms of two organic molecules (L), the C=C bond of another L molecule, and the O atom of the water molecule. Due to the bridging function of L molecule, infinite chains [Cu · 2C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅) · H₂O] _n are formed in the structure along the y axis. The chains are, in turn, assembled into layers through strong O-H…F hydrogen bonds involving both hydrogen atoms of the water molecule and fluorine atoms of the BF₄⁻ anion. In compound II, two bridging oxygen atoms of two trifluoroacetate anions and two copper atoms form a centrosymmetric dimer. The nitrogen atom of the benzotriazole ring of one molecule L and the C=C double bond of the allyl group of the other molecule L complete the distorted coordination tetrahedron of the metal atom. Owing to the bridging function of the L molecule, the [CuCF₃COO · C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅)]₂ dimers are connected to form infinite double chains associated in a three-dimensional framework by only weak interactions. The replacement of the covalently bonded trifluoroacetate anion by an outer-sphere tetrafluoroborate ion opens up the possibility for metal atom binding to three L molecules simultaneously.

Synthesis of 4(3H)-Quinazolinone Derivatives and Their in vitro Antitumor Activity

Classical antifolates containing L-glutamic acid moiety in molecule have shortcomings such as drug resistance which is originated from the defective cell transport by mutation, and toxicity to the host which is due to unnecessarily long retention inside normal cells.[1] One strategy to overcome these shortcomings is to design nonclassical lipophilic inhibitors of folate requiring enzymes by deleting or modifying L-glutamic acid component from the folate analogues.
