Adam Lenhart performs a 30 minute recital on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons. The program celebrates the life, legacy & music of Selena Quintanilla Pérez (1971-1995) as part of Lenhart's American Women Concert Series.

Thirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

MANILA, Philippines — Former Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso has left an enduring mark on the city’s Muslim community by establishing Manila’s first Muslim Cemetery and Cultural Hall. Located in the Manila South Cemetery, the 2,400-square-meter site pays tribute to the Muslim community’s deep historical roots in the capital. “This is for all Muslims, particularly those in Manila, who have contributed to our nation’s capital,” Moreno said, stressing the cemetery’s importance as a symbol of Manila’s rich cultural heritage. The site is also a reminder for future generations of Manila’s historical identity as the “Land of the Rajahs,” ruled […]...

In the title compound, C26H18BrN, the central benzene ring makes dihedral angles with its adjacent anthracene ring system and pendant benzene ring of 87.49 (13) and 62.01 (17)°, respectively. The N—H moiety is sterically blocked from forming a hydrogen bond, but weak C—H⋯π inter­actions occur in the extended structure.

Transamination of Sn(NMe2)4 with H2NMes (Mes is 2,4,6-tri­methyl­phenyl, C9H11) led to the formation of the title compound, [Sn(C9H12N)4] or Sn(NHMes)4, which crystallizes in the tetra­gonal space group Poverline{4}21c, with four formula units per unit cell. The mol­ecular structure consists of a central tin(IV) atom, which is surrounded by four NHMes groups. Sn(NHMes)4 possesses crystallographically imposed overline{4} symmetry. The SnN4 coordination polyhedron is best described as a compressed bis­phenoid.

The reaction of nickel(II) chloride with 3-meth­oxy­aniline yielded di­chlorido­tetra­kis­(3-meth­oxy­aniline)nickel(II), [NiCl2(C7H9NO)4], as yellow crystals. The NiII ion is pseudo-octa­hedral with the chloride ions trans to each other. The four 3-meth­oxy­aniline ligands differ primarily due to different conformations about the Ni—N bond, which also affect the hydrogen bonding. Inter­molecular N—H⋯ Cl hydrogen bonds and short Cl⋯Cl contacts between mol­ecules link them into chains parallel to the b axis.

Treating the amide acetanilide (N-phenyl­acetamide, C8H9NO) with aqueous strong acids allowed the structures of five hemi-protonated salt forms of acetanilide to be elucidated. N-(1-Hy­droxy­ethyl­idene)anilinium chloride–N-phenyl­acetamide (1/1), [(C8H9NO)2H][Cl], and the bromide, [(C8H9NO)2H][Br], triiodide, [(C8H9NO)2H][I3], tetra­fluoro­borate, [(C8H9NO)2H][BF4], and di­iodo­bromide hemi(diiodine), [(C8H9NO)2H][I2Br]·0.5I2, analogues all feature centrosymmetric dimeric units linked by O—H⋯O hy­dro­gen bonds that extend into one-dimensional hy­dro­gen-bonded chains through N—H⋯X inter­actions, where X is the halide atom of the anion. Protonation occurs at the amide O atom and results in systematic lengthening of the C=O bond and a corresponding shortening of the C—N bond. The size of these geometric changes is similar to those found for hemi-protonated paracetamol structures, but less than those in fully protonated paracetamol structures. The bond angles of the amide fragments are also found to change on protonation, but these angular changes are also influenced by conformation, namely, whether the amide group is coplanar with the phenyl ring or twisted out of plane.

At room temperature, the title salt, C7H10NO+·Cl−, is ortho­rhom­bic, space group Pbca with Z' = 1, as previously reported [Zhao (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, o2378]. Between 250 and 200 K, there is a solid-state phase transition to a twinned monoclinic P21/c structure with Z' = 2. We report the high temperature structure at 250 K and the low-temperature structure at 100 K. In the low-temperature structure, the –NH3 hydrogen atoms are ordered and this group has a different orientation in each independent mol­ecule, in keeping with optimizing N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding, some of which are bifurcated: these hydrogen bonds have N⋯Cl distances in the range 3.1201 (8)–3.4047 (8) Å. In the single cation of the high-temperature structure, the NH hydrogen atoms are disordered into the average of the two low-temperature positions and the N⋯Cl hydrogen bond distances are in the range 3.1570 (15)–3.3323 (18) Å. At both temperatures, the meth­oxy group is nearly coplanar with the rest of the mol­ecule, with the C—C—O—C torsion angles being −7.0 (2)° at 250 K and −6.94 (12) and −9.35 (12)° at 100 K. In the extended ortho­rhom­bic structure, (001) hydrogen-bonded sheets occur; in the monoclinic structure, the sheets propagate in the (010) plane.

In the title benzyl­ideneaniline Schiff base, C18H22N2O, the aromatic rings are inclined to each other by 46.01 (6)°, while the Car—N= C—Car torsion angle is 176.9 (1)°. In the crystal, the only identifiable directional inter­action is a weak C—H⋯π hydrogen bond, which generates inversion dimers that stack along the a-axis direction.

The title mol­ecule, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C23H17ClN2)]·C3H7NO, is twisted end to end and the central N/C/N unit is disordered. In the crystal, several C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions lead to the formation of layers, which are connected by further C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (60.2%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (27.0%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding, C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions and van der Waals inter­actions dominate the crystal packing.

Two 2,4,6-tri­methyl­aniline-based trifuloro­methane­sulfonate (tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate) salts were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. N,2,4,6-Tetra­methyl­anilinium tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, [C10H14NH2+][CF3O3S−] (1), was synthesized via methyl­ation of 2,4,6-tri­methyl­aniline. N-Iso­propyl­idene-N,2,4,6-tetra­methyl­anilinium tri­fluoro­meth­ane­sulfonate, [C13H20N+][CF3O3S−] (2), was synthesized in a two-step reaction where the imine, N-iso­propyl­idene-2,4,6-tri­methyl­aniline, was first prepared via a dehydration reaction to form the Schiff base, followed by methyl­ation using methyl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate to form the iminium ion. In compound 1, both hydrogen bonding and π–π inter­actions form the main inter­molecular inter­actions. The primary inter­action is a strong N—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the oxygen atoms of the tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate anions bonded to the hydrogen atoms of the ammonium nitro­gen atom to generate a one-dimensional chain. The [C10H14NH2+] cations form dimers where the benzene rings form a π–π inter­action with a parallel-displaced geometry. The separation distance between the calculated centroids of the benzene rings is 3.9129 (8) Å, and the inter­planar spacing and ring slippage between the dimers are 3.5156 (5) and 1.718 Å, respectively. For 2, the [C13H20N+] cations also form dimers as in 1, but with the benzene rings highly slipped. The distance between the calculated centroids of the benzene rings is 4.8937 (8) Å, and inter­planar spacing and ring slippage are 3.3646 (5) and 3.553 Å, respectively. The major inter­molecular inter­actions in 2 are instead a series of weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [C⋯O distances of 3.1723 (17), 3.3789 (18), and 3.3789 (18) Å], an inter­action virtually absent in the structure of 1. Fluorine atoms are not involved in strong directional inter­actions in either structure.

The title coordination polymer with the 4-methyl-N-(pyridin-2-yl­methyl­idene)aniline Schiff base ligand (L, C13H12N2), [Cd2Cl4(C13H12N2)]n (1), exhibits a columnar structure extending parallel to [100]. The columns are aligned in parallel and are decorated with chelating L ligands on both sides. They are elongated into a supra­molecular sheet extending parallel to (01overline{1}) through π–π stacking inter­actions involving L ligands of neighbouring columns. Adjacent sheets are packed into the tri-periodic supra­molecular network through weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions that involve the phenyl CH groups and chlorido ligands. The thermal stability and photoluminescent properties of (1) have also been examined.

This work describes the X-ray structure of orange–red crystals of 2-meth­oxy-5-nitro­aniline, C7H8N2O3. The compound displays concentration-dependent UV-Vis spectra, which is attributed to dipole-induced aggregation, and light absorption arising from an inter­molecular charge-transfer process that decreases in energy as the degree of aggregation increases. The crystals display π-stacking where the dipole moments align anti­parallel. Stacked mol­ecules inter­act with the next stack via hydrogen bonds, which is a state of maximum aggregation. Light absorption by charge transfer can be compared to colored inorganic semiconductors such as orange–red CdS, with a band gap of 2.0–2.5 eV.
