Trifluoromethyl group disorder in crystalline 2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-hydroxymethylquinoline

The title compound crystallized in space groupPna2₁ with lattice constantsa=13.406(1),b=18.799 (4), andc=4.785(1). The molecule is essentially flat with only fluorine atoms, methylene hydrogen atoms, and the hydroxyl hydrogen atom out of the plane of the quinoline ring. Only one of the trifluoromethyl groups of the title compound is disordered following a pattern observed in other crystal structures. Quantum chemical calculations at the AM1 level are consistent with this phenomenon. Although the carbon atom of the fixed trifluoromethyl group is further from the quinoline nitrogen atom than the carbon atom of the disordered trifluoromethyl group, the fluorine atoms of the fixed trifluoromethyl group more closely approach the quinoline nitrogen atom by 0.3 Å if the C(8)–C(10) bond in the crystal structure is freely rotated.National Research Council Associate     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 2,13-Bis(acetamido)-3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[14,4,0<Superscript>1.18</Superscript>,0<Superscript>7.12</Superscript>]docosane Tetrachlorocobalt(II)dihydrate

Abstract The novel ionic compound [H₂bdtd][CoCl₄] · 2H₂O (1) was prepared by the reaction between CoCl₂ and 2,13-bis(acetamido)-3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12]docosane (bdtd) in adjusted to pH 3.0 by 1.0 M HCl and structurally characterized. The crystals are monoclinic C2/c with a = 18.7777(9), b = 9.7356(4), c = 20.0884(9) ?, β = 109.6340(10)°, V = 3458.9(3) ?³, Z = 4. The dication H₂bdtd occupies a special position about an inversion center. The cobalt(II) atom in the anion is in a distorted tetrahedral environment with four chloride ligands. The crystal structure is stabilized by a variety of hydrogen-bonding contacts involving the dication, chloride anions and solvent water molecules. Cyclic voltammetry of [CoCl₄]²⁻ anion in 1 undergoes irreversible one-electron reduction to the Co^II/Co^I. Graphical abstract The crystal structure of the ionic compound [H₂bdtd][CoCl₄] · 2H₂O (1) consists of [H₂bdtd]²⁺ cation, [CoCl₄]²⁻ anion and water molecules joined together by ionic interaction and hydrogen bonds.

Gas phase nitridation of silicate fiber glass materials with ammonia:Three case studies

Three types of the leached fiber glass materials of silicate origin modified with Zr, Al and rare earth metals (REM) were nitridated with ammonia at temperatures ranging from 673 to 973 K. DRIFTS (Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier-Transform Spectroscopy) and H/D exchange using ND₃ were applied for characterization of the formed NH_x species. Along with nitridation of silanol groups their dehydroxilation as well as hydrolysis of NH_x species take place. In situ DRIFTS study showed that the limiting steps are slow chemical reactions, but not a diffusion of NH₃ or H₂O molecules in the bulk of glasses. The concept on strained siloxane bridges formed due to dehydroxylation of two adjacent silanol groups was used for explanation of the reaction kinetics features.     

An X-ray Crystallographic Study of the Related Triazenes, 1,4-Di[(<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-2-(2-nitrophenyl)-1-diazenyl]piperazine and Methyl 4-{(E)-2-(4-methylpiperazino)-1-diazenyl}benzoate

Abstract The crystal structures of methyl 4-{(E)-2-(4-methylpiperazino)-1-diazenyl}benzoate (2a) and 1,4-di[(E)-2-(2-nitrophenyl)-1-diazenyl]piperazine (3a) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The bis-triazene (3a) adopts an unusual pseudo-boat conformation in the piperazine ring, with a dihedral angle of 52.20(0.06)° between the two planes defined within the piperazine ring. The crystal structures of 2a and 3a are compared with the structure of the triazene (4) and the closely related bis-triazene (5). The piperazine ring of 2a adopts a typical chair conformation, whereas the piperazine ring of 3a adopts an unusual boat conformation. Crystal data: 2a C₁₃H₁₈N₄O₂, monoclinic, space group P2₁ /n, a = 13.849(3) ?, b = 6.577(1) ?, c = 14.904(3) ?, α = 90°, β = 96.098(3)°, γ = 90° and V = 1,349.8(4) ?³, for Z = 4. 3a C₁₆H₁₆N₈O₄, triclinic, space group P-1, a = 7.6066(6) ?, b = 8.3741(7) ?, c = 14.507(1) ?, α = 78.673(1)°, β = 81.877(1)°, γ = 73.445(1)° and V = 865.0(1) ?³, for Z = 2. Index abstract The crystal structures of methyl 4-{(E)-2-(4-methylpiperazino)-1-diazenyl}benzoate (2a) and 1,4-di[(E)-2-(2-nitrophenyl)-1-diazenyl]piperazine (3a) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Sugar-water interaction from diffusion measurements

The diffusion coefficients of deoxyribose and ribose in water were measured at 25°C. The Stokes-Einstein relation for mono-, di-, and tri-saccharides are discussed. The diffusion coefficient at infinite dilution D_o for deoxyribose was the largest among these sugars. It appears that the deoxyribose breaks local water structure but the ribose hardly affects the structure. D_o correlates well with the mean number of e-OH groups in the sugar molecule. It is suggested that the mean number of e-OH groups is a good parameter to describe the properties of sugar hydration.     

Interactions between terminally substituted amino acids in an aqueous and a non-aqueous environment. Enthalpic interaction coefficients in water and in N,N-dimethylformamide at 25°C

Enthalpies of dilution of the N-acetyl amides of glycine, L-alanine, L-valine, L-leucine, and L-phenylalanine, dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent have been measured at 25°C. The results obtained have been analyzed to give the enthalpic interaction (or virial) coefficients of the solutes and these are compared with information previously obtained in aqueous systems. There are marked differences in the interaction properties in the two solvents and, while the additivity approach of Savage and Wood is applicable to the solutes in water it is not suitable for representing the interactions in DMF. A correlation is presented between the enthalpic second virial coefficients in DMF and the propensity of side-chains to be in proximity in globular proteins.     

REACTIONS OF TRIMETHYL GROUP IVA HALIDES (Si,Ge, Sn) WITH PHOSPHINE-BRIDGED PALLADIUM,PLATINUM, AND SILVER DIMERS

Abstract

Reactions of a series of binuclear, phosphine bridged late transition metal complexes, Pd₂Cl₂(dppm)₂, Pd₂Cl₂(dmpm)₂, Pd₂Cl₂(Ph₂Ppy)₂, Pt₂Cl₂(dppm)₂, and Ag₂Br₂(dppm)₂, with Me₃SiX (X = Br, I), Me₃GeBr and Me₃SnBr were examined by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. Rapid exchange of Pd-Cl, Pt-Cl and Ag-Br bonds for Pd-X, Pt-X (X = Br, I) and Ag-I bonds was observed to be independent of the nature of the phosphine ligand, the nature of the metal center or the group IV element. Differences in Lewis acidity of the transition metal center as a function of the ligands and the identity of the transition metal and differences in the basicity of the Me₃EBr ligands are proposed to account for the failure to detect intermediates in these reactions similar to those reported for reactions between Pd₂Cl₂(dppm)₂ and Me₃SiX.
