Accession of new territories: Billions of dollars in expenses and trillions in revenues

The accession of new territories to Russia is justifiable from the economic point of view and will not have a negative impact on the Russian budget, the Kremlin said. As Russia readies to grow even larger, experts try to calculate how much it will cost the Russian budget to rebuild cities and restore peaceful life in the new territories. Some others try to find out how much profit the new territories will bring. The Washington Post announced the approximate cost of mineral deposits in the new regions — about 12.4 trillion dollars.

1-Ethyl-3,3-di­methyl­spiro­[indoline-2,8'-phenaleno[1,9-fg]chromene]

The title pyrene-fused spiro­pyran derivative, C30H25NO, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit with dihedral angles between their fused-ring sub units of 76.20 (8) and 89.38 (9)°. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯π inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.

4-Fluoro­benzyl (Z)-2-(2-oxoindolin-3-yl­idene)hydrazine-1-carbodi­thio­ate

The title compound, C16H12FN3OS, a fluorinated di­thio­carbazate imine derivative, was synthesized by the one-pot, multi-component condensation reaction of hydrazine hydrate, carbon di­sulfide, 4-fluoro­benzyl chloride and isatin. The compound demonstrates near-planarity across much of the mol­ecule in the solid state and a Z configuration for the azomethine C=N bond. The Z form is further stabilized by the presence of an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the extended structure, mol­ecules are linked into dimers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and further connected into chains along either [2overline{1}0] or [100] by weak C—H⋯S and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, which further link into corrugated sheets and in combination form the overall three-dimensional network.

Methyl 2-[(Z)-5-bromo-2-oxoindolin-3-yl­idene]­hydrazinecarbodi­thio­ate

The title compound, C10H8BrN3OS2, a brominated di­thio­carbazate imine deriv­ative, was obtained from the condensation reaction of S-methyl­dithio­carbazate (SMDTC) and 5-bromo­isatin. The essentially planar mol­ecule exhibits a Z configuration, with the di­thio­carbazate and 5-bromo­isatin fragments located on the same sides of the C=N azomethine bond, which allows for the formation of an intra­molecular N—H⋯Ob (b = bromo­isatin) hydrogen bond generating an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are linked by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers characterized by an R22(8) loop motif. In the extended structure, mol­ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯S and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, C—Br⋯S halogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking.

Methyl 2-[(Z)-5-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-yl­idene]hydrazinecarbodi­thio­ate

The title di­thio­carbazate imine, C11H11N3OS2, was obtained from the condensation reaction of S-methyl­dithio­carbazate (SMDTC) and 5-methyl­isatin. It shows a Z configuration about the imine C=N bond, which is associated with an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond that closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairwise N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R22(8) loops. The extended structure features C—H⋯S contacts as well as reciprocal carbon­yl–carbonyl (C=O⋯C=O) inter­actions.

Mononuclear binding and catalytic activity of europium(III) and gadolinium(III) at the active site of the model metalloenzyme phosphotriesterase

Lanthanide ions have ideal chemical properties for catalysis, such as hard Lewis acidity, fast ligand-exchange kinetics, high coordination-number preferences and low geometric requirements for coordination. As a result, many small-molecule lanthanide catalysts have been described in the literature. Yet, despite the ability of enzymes to catalyse highly stereoselective reactions under gentle conditions, very few lanthanoenzymes have been investigated. In this work, the mononuclear binding of europium(III) and gadolinium(III) to the active site of a mutant of the model enzyme phosphotriesterase are described using X-ray crystallography at 1.78 and 1.61 Å resolution, respectively. It is also shown that despite coordinating a single non-natural metal cation, the PTE-R18 mutant is still able to maintain esterase activity.

An attempt to explore the reactivity of the nitro group in the presence of gold catalysis in comparison to the azide group yielded intriguing results. Surprisingly, only the nitro group exhibited reactivity, ultimately giving rise to the formation of the title isatogen, C14H8N4O2. In the crystal structure, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions link the mol­ecules. The structure exhibits disorder of the mol­ecule.

The crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analysis of three new bromo-substituted 3-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indole derivatives

Three new 1H-indole derivatives, namely, 2-(bromo­meth­yl)-3-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indole, C16H14BrNO2S, (I), 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromo-5-meth­oxy­phen­yl)ethen­yl]-3-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indole, C24H20BrNO3S, (II), and 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromo­phen­yl)ethen­yl]-3-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indole, C23H18BrNO2S, (III), exhibit nearly orthogonal orientations of their indole ring systems and sulfonyl-bound phenyl rings. Such conformations are favourable for inter­molecular bonding involving sets of slipped π–π inter­actions between the indole systems and mutual C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds, with the generation of two-dimensional monoperiodic patterns. The latter are found in all three structures, in the form of supra­molecular columns with every pair of successive mol­ecules related by inversion. The crystal packing of the compounds is additionally stabilized by weaker slipped π–π inter­actions between the outer phenyl rings (in II and III) and by weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds. The structural significance of the different kinds of inter­actions agree with the results of a Hirshfeld surface analysis and the calculated inter­action energies. In particular, the largest inter­action energies (up to −60.8 kJ mol−1) are associated with pairing of anti­parallel indole systems, while the energetics of weak hydrogen bonds and phenyl π–π inter­actions are comparable and account for 13–34 kJ mol−1.

Crystal structure determination and Hirshfeld surface analysis of N-acetyl-N-3-meth­oxy­phenyl and N-(2,5-di­meth­oxy­phen­yl)-N-phenyl­sulfonyl derivatives of N-[1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methanamine

Two new [1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methanamine derivatives, namely, N-(3-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-N-{[1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indol-2-yl]meth­yl}acetamide, C24H22N2O4S, (I), and N-(2,5-di­meth­oxy­phen­yl)-N-{[1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indol-2-yl]meth­yl}benzene­sulfonamide, C29H26N2O6S2, (II), reveal a nearly orthogonal orientation of their indole ring systems and sulfonyl-bound phenyl rings. The sulfonyl moieties adopt the anti-periplanar conformation. For both compounds, the crystal packing is dominated by C—H⋯O bonding [C⋯O = 3.312 (4)–3.788 (8) Å], with the structure of II exhibiting a larger number, but weaker bonds of this type. Slipped π–π inter­actions of anti­parallel indole systems are specific for I, whereas the structure of II delivers two kinds of C—H⋯π inter­actions at both axial sides of the indole moiety. These findings agree with the results of Hirshfeld surface analysis. The primary contributions to the surface areas are associated with the contacts involving H atoms. Although II manifests a larger fraction of the O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (25.8 versus 22.4%), most of them are relatively distal and agree with the corresponding van der Waals separations.
