Crystal Structure,Phase Transition and Ferroelastic Properties of [N(CH3)4]3[As2Cl9]

The crystal structure of [N(CH₃)₄]₃[As₂Cl₉] is determined at 293 K. It crystallizes in trigonal space group P31c: a = 9.2199(8), c = 21.065(3)Å, Z = 2, R₁ = 0.0505, wR₂ = 0.1283. The crystal is built of the discrete bioctahedral [As₂Cl₉]^3— anions and the deformed tetramethylammonium cations. A structural phase transition in [N(CH₃)₄]₃[As₂Cl₉] is detected by the DSC and dilatometric techniques at 146/151 K (on cooling/heating). Dielectric relaxation studies in the frequency range 75 kHz — 5 MHz indicate reorientations of the tetramethylammonium cations within the high temperature phase. Optical observations show the existence of the ferroelastic domain structure below 146 K. The possible mechanism of phase transition is discussed on the basis of the presented results.     

[1‐Allylpyridinium][Cu2Cl3]: Synthesis,X‐ray Structure and the Regularity of Crystal Architecture of 1‐Allyl/(amino)‐pyridinium Copper(I) Chloride π‐Complexes

By alternating‐current electrochemical technique crystals of copper(I) π‐complex with 1‐allylpyridinium chloride of [C₅H₅N(C₃H₅)][Cu₂Cl₃] ( 1 ) composition have been obtained and structurally investigated. Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group C2/c a = 24.035(1) Å, b = 11.4870(9) Å, c = 7.8170(5) Å, β = 95.010(5)°, V = 2150.0(2) ų (at 100 K), Z = 8, R = 0.028, for 4836 independent reflections. In the structure 1 trigonal‐pyramidal environment of π‐coordinated copper(I) atom is formed by a lengthened to 1.376(2) Å C=C bond of allyl group and by three chlorine atoms. Other two copper atoms are tetrahedrally surrounded by chlorine atoms only. The coordination polyhedra are combined into an original infinite (Cu₄Cl₆^2—)_n fragment. Structural comparison of 1 and the recently studied copper(I) chloride π‐complexes with 3‐amino‐, 2‐amino‐, 4‐amino‐1‐allylpyridinium chlorides of respective [LCu₂Cl₃] ( 2 ), [L₂Cu₂Cl₄] ( 3 ), and [LCuCl₂] ( 4 ) compositions allowed us to reveal the trend of the inorganic fragment complication which depends on pKa (base) value of the corresponding initial heterocycle.     

Structure of Complexes Formed in the CuX2–Cu–N-Allylisoquinolinium Chloride System (X = Cl,Br)

The crystals of N-allylisoquinolinium chlorides of the compositions [C₉H₇N(C₃H₅)]₂Cu^IICl₄ (I), [C₉H₇N(C₃H₅)]Cu^ICl₂ · H₂O (II), and [C₉H₇N(C₃H₅)]Cu^ICl_1.43Br_0.57 · H₂O (III) were prepared by alternating-current electrosynthesis. X-ray diffraction analysis (using diffractometer models DARCH1 for I, STOE for II, and KUMA/CCD for III, MoK radiation) showed that the crystals of I are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 14.91(1) Å, b = 10.41(1) Å, c = 16.90(1) Å, = 109.73(8)°, V = 2470(8) ų, Z = 4. The crystals of isostructural compounds II and III are triclinic, space group P, Z = 2; crystals II: a = 7.2446(6) Å, b = 7.4379(6) Å, c = 12.110(1) Å, = 80.95(1)°, = 85.55(1)°, = 86.60(1)°, V = 641.8(2) ų; crystals III: a = 7.253(2) Å, b = 7.459(4) Å, c = 12.151(5) Å, = 80.82(4)°, = 83.73(3)°, = 86.81(4)°, V = 644.6(9) ų. The structure of I is composed of Cu^IICl₄ ^2– tetrahedra and N-allylisoquinolinium cations united by C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds in corrugated layers. The crystal structures of -complexesII and III are built of [C₉H₇(C₃H₅)]₂Cu₂ ^IX₄ dimers, which form layers along the c axis due to the C–H···X hydrogen bonds. An important role in the structure formation is played by water molecules, which crosslink the organometallic layers to form a three-dimensional framework through the O–H···X contacts.     

Complexes of heteroscorpionate trispyrazolylborate ligands. Part VI. Carboxylate induced conversion of mono-ligand Tp′M(L) into bis-ligand Tp′2M complexes (M=Co(II) and Cu(II))

A series of homoleptic complexes of hexacoordinate cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes with 3,5-disubstituted homo- and heteroscorpionate tris(pyrazolyl)borate anionic ligands (Tp′) were synthesized, i.e. bis[hydrotris(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]cobalt(II), bis[hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3-methyl,5-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]cobalt(II) and bis[hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3-methyl,5-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]copper(II) and their structures were elucidated crystallographically. The complexes were also formed spontaneously during attempted metathesis of the corresponding Tp′M(NCS) complexes into Tp′M(OOCCH(OH)CH₃) complexes. In the case of the analogous conversion applied for the thiocyanato [hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)boratocobalt(II) complex with sodium carboxylates (lactate, pyruvate and 2-hydroxybutyrate), the cross-transfer of pyrazolyl residues between starting anionic ligands was observed resulting in formation of bis-ligand homo- and heteroleptic Tp′CoTp″ complexes, where Tp′, Tp″ were tris(pyrazolyl)borates composed of n 3(5)-phenyl,5(3)-methylpyrazolyl and (3−n) 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl residues (n=0–3) identified by mass spectrometry. Metathesis of thiocyanate in thiocyanato hydrotris(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)boratocobalt(II) into pyruvate led to the isolation of stable the pyruvato hydrotris(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)boratocobalt(II) complex, the structure of which was determined crystallographically. The Tp′ ligands are η³ coordinated to metal ions in every case, whereas the pyruvate anion is coordinated through carboxylate and carbonyl oxygen atoms to the cobalt center. Two rotational isomers distinguishable by ¹H NMR spectroscopy for the hexacoordinate bis[hydrobis(3-phenyl,5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)(3-methyl,5-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borato]cobalt(II) complex were detected in solution.     

Strychninium N‐phthaloyl‐β‐alaninate N‐phthaloyl‐β‐alanine and brucinium N‐phthaloyl‐β‐alaninate 5.67‐hydrate

Comparison of the structures of strychninium N‐phthaloyl‐β‐alaninate N‐phthaloyl‐β‐alanine, C₂₁H₂₃N₂O₂⁺·C₁₁H₈NO₄⁻·C₁₁H₉NO₄, and brucinium N‐phthaloyl‐β‐alaninate 5.67‐hydrate, C₂₃H₂₇N₂O₄⁺·C₁₁H₈NO₄⁻·5.67H₂O, reveals that, unlike strychninium cations, brucinium cations display a tendency to produce stacking inter­actions with cocrystallizing guests.     

Synthesis of S,O-Diesterified Dithiophosphate Ion and it's X-Ray Crystal Structure as the N,N-Dipropylammonium Salt

Abstract

Elimination of one methyl group by excess of N,N-dipropylamine transformed S-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-O,O-dimethyl-dithiophosphate¹ into the N,N-dipropylammonium (R)S- (3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-O-methyl-dithiophosphate with chiral centre on phosphorus atom.     

Brucine and two solvates

The crystal structures of brucine (2,3‐di­methoxy­strychnidin‐10‐one), C₂₃H₂₆N₂O₄, brucine acetone solvate, C₂₃H₂₆N₂O₄·C₃H₆O, and brucine 2‐propanol solvate dihydrate, C₂₃H₂₆N₂O₄·C₃H₇O·2H₂O, have been determined. Crystals of brucine and its 2‐propanol solvate dihydrate exhibit similar monolayer sheet packing, whereas crystals of the acetone solvate adopt a different mode of packing, as brucine pillars. The solvent appears to control the brucine self‐assembly on the basis of common donor–acceptor properties of the surfaces.     

Synthesis and Chemical Transformation of 2 -Acetoxyimino-3,4, 6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl Azide

Abstract

The title compound 3 has been synthesized from 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-nitroso-α-D-glucopyranosyl chloride (1) via compound 2. Azide reduction of 3 is accompanied by O→N-acetyl migration to afford N-acetyl-N-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-hydroxyimino-β-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl) amine (4), also characterized as its Z and E peracetates. On the basis of IR, ¹H NMR and X-ray structural data from compound 4, its β-NHAc configuration, (Z) 2-hydroxyimino, and °S₂ conformation, were established.
