syn Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a cadmium complex of naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate and o-phenylenediamine By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2023-11-30 A novel o-phenylenediamine (opda)-based cadmium complex, bis(benzene-1,2-diamine-κ2N,N')bis(benzene-1,2-diamine-κN)cadmium(II) naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate, [Cd(C6H8N2)4](C10H6O6S2), was synthesized. The complex salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The Cd atom occupies a special position and coordinates six nitrogen atoms from four o-phenylenediamine molecules, two as chelating ligands and two as monodentate ligands. The amino H atoms of opda interact with two O atoms of the naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate anions. The anions act as bridges between [Cd(opda)4]2+ cations, forming a two-dimensional network in the [010] and [001] directions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that the primary factors contributing to the supramolecular interactions are short contacts, particularly van der Waals forces of the type H⋯H, O⋯H and C⋯H.

syn Synthesis, crystal structure and computational analysis of 2,7-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazepan-5-one By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2023-11-30 In the title compound, C19H20Cl2N2O, the seven-membered 1,4-diazepane ring adopts a chair conformation while the 4-chlorophenyl substituents adopt equatorial orientations. The chlorophenyl ring at position 7 is disordered over two positions [site occupancies 0.480 (16):0.520 (16)]. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 63.0 (4)°. The methyl groups at position 3 have an axial and an equatorial orientation. The compound exists as a dimer exhibiting intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding with R22(8) graph-set motifs. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds together with two C—Cl⋯π (ring) interactions. The geometry was optimized by DFT using the B3LYP/6–31 G(d,p) level basis set. In addition, the HOMO and LUMO energies, chemical reactivity parameters and molecular electrostatic potential were calculated at the same level of theory. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicated that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (45.6%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (23.8%), H⋯C/C⋯H (12.6%), H⋯O/O⋯H (8.7%) and C⋯Cl/Cl⋯C (7.1%) interactions. Analysis of the interaction energies showed that the dispersion energy is greater than the electrostatic energy. A crystal void volume of 237.16 Å3 is observed. A molecular docking study with the human oestrogen receptor 3ERT protein revealed good docking with a score of −8.9 kcal mol−1. Full Article text
syn New copper carboxylate pyrene dimers: synthesis, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and electrochemical characterization By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-01 Two new copper dimers, namely, bis(dimethyl sulfoxide)tetrakis(μ-pyrene-1-carboxylato)dicopper(Cu—Cu), [Cu2(C17H9O2)4(C2H6OS)2] or [Cu2(pyr-COO−)4(DMSO)2] (1), and bis(dimethylformamide)tetrakis(μ-pyrene-1-carboxylato)dicopper(Cu—Cu), [Cu2(C17H9O2)4(C3H7NO)2] or [Cu2(pyr-COO−)4(DMF)2] (2) (pyr = pyrene), were synthesized from the reaction of pyrene-1-carboxylic acid, copper(II) nitrate and triethylamine from solvents DMSO and DMF, respectively. While 1 crystallized in the space group Poverline{1}, the crystal structure of 2 is in space group P21/n. The Cu atoms have octahedral geometries, with four oxygen atoms from carboxylate pyrene ligands occupying the equatorial positions, a solvent molecule coordinating at one of the axial positions, and a Cu⋯Cu contact in the opposite position. The packing in the crystal structures exhibits π–π stacking interactions and short contacts through the solvent molecules. The Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were generated for both compounds to better understand the intermolecular interactions and the contribution of heteroatoms from the solvent ligands to the crystal packing. In addition, a Cu2+/Cu1+ quasi-reversible redox process was identified for compound 2 using cyclic voltammetry that accounts for a diffusion-controlled electron-donation process to the Cu dimer.

syn The synthesis and structural properties of a chloridobis{N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)imino]pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide}zinc(II) (acetonitrile)trichloridozincate coordination complex By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-01 The title complex, [ZnCl(C12H15N3O2)2][ZnCl3(CH3CN)], was synthesized and its structure was fully characterized through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca (61), with a central zinc atom coordinating one chlorine atom and two pyrrolidinyl-4-methoxyphenyl azoformamide ligands in a bidentate manner, utilizing both the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in a 1,3-heterodiene (N=N—C=O) motif for coordinative bonding, yielding an overall positively (+1) charged complex. The complex is accompanied by a [(CH3CN)ZnCl3]− counter-ion. The crystal data show that the harder oxygen atoms in the heterodiene zinc chelate form bonding interactions with distances of 2.002 (3) and 2.012 (3) Å, while nitrogen atoms are coordinated by the central zinc cation with bond lengths of 2.207 (3) and 2.211 (3) Å. To gain further insight into the intermolecular interactions within the crystal, Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed, along with the calculation of two-dimensional fingerprint plots. This analysis revealed that H⋯H (39.9%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (28.2%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (7.2%) interactions are dominant. This unique crystal structure sheds light on arrangement and bonding interactions with azoformamide ligands, and their unique qualities over similar semicarbazone and azothioformamide structures.

syn Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of poly[(μ-2-methylpyridine N-oxide-κ2O:O)bis(μ-thiocyanato-κ2N:S)cobalt(II)] By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-01 The title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C6H7NO)]n or Co(NCS)2(2-methylpyridine N-oxide), was prepared by the reaction of Co(NCS)2 and 2-methylpyridine N-oxide in methanol. All crystals obtained by this procedure show reticular pseudo-merohedric twinning, but after recrystallization, one crystal was found that had a minor component with only a very few overlapping reflections. The asymmetric unit consists of one CoII cation, two thiocyanate anions and one 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligand in general positions. The CoII cations are octahedrally coordinated by two O-bonding 2-methylpyridine N-oxide ligands, as well as two S- and two N-bonding thiocyanate anions, and are connected via μ-1,3(N,S)-bridging thiocyanate anions into chains that are linked by μ-1,1(O,O) bridging coligands into layers. No pronounced directional intermolecular interactions are observed between the layers. The 2-methylpyridine coligand is disordered over two orientations and was refined using a split model with restraints. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) indicates that a pure sample was obtained and IR spectroscopy confirms that bridging thiocyanate anions are present. Thermogravimetry and differential thermoanalysis (TG-DTA) shows one poorly resolved mass loss in the TG curve that is accompanied by an exothermic and an endothermic signal in the DTA curve, which indicate the decomposition of the 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands.

The ring angles at the unsubstituted nitrogen atoms are narrow, at 115.57 (12) and 115.19 (12)°, respectively, whereas the angle at the carbon atom between these N atoms is very wide, 127.97 (13)°. The interplanar angle between the two rings is 79.56 (5)°. The molecules are linked by three classical hydrogen bonds, forming a ribbon structure. There are also unusual linkages involving three short contacts (< 3 Å) from a sulfonamide oxygen atom to the C—NH—C part of a triazine ring. Full Article text
syn Synthesis and crystal structure of a cadmium(II) coordination polymer based on 4,4'-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diyl)dibenzoate By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-09 The asymmetric unit of the title compound, catena-poly[[[aquabis(pyridine-κN)cadmium(II)]-μ2-4,4'-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diyl)dibenzoato-κ4O,O':O'',O'''] 4.5-hydrate], {[Cd(C16H9N3O4)(C5H5N)2(H2O)]·4.5H2O}n or {[Cd(bct)(py)2(H2O)]·4.5H2O}n (I), consists of a Cd2+ cation coordinated to one bct2– carboxylate dianion, two molecules of pyridine and a water molecule as well as four and a half water molecules of crystallization. The metal ion in I possesses a pentagonal–bipyramidal environment with the four O atoms of the two bidentately coordinated carboxylate groups and the N atom of a pyridine molecule forming the O4N equatorial plane, while the N atom of another pyridine ligand and the O atom of the water molecule occupy the axial positions. The bct2– bridging ligand connects two metal ions via its carboxylic groups, resulting in the formation of a parallel linear polymeric chain running along the [1overline{1}1] direction. The coordinated water molecule of one chain forms a strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the carboxylate O atom of a neighboring chain, leading to the formation of double chains with a closest distance of 5.425 (7) Å between the cadmium ions belonging to different chains. Aromatic π–π stacking interactions between the benzene fragments of the anions as well as between the coordinated pyridine molecules belonging to different chains results in the formation of sheets oriented parallel to the (overline{1}01) plane. As a result of hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the water molecules of crystallization, the sheets are joined together in a three-dimensional network. Full Article text

syn Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of bromidotetrakis[5-(prop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine-κN3]copper(II) bromide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-03-26 A novel cationic complex, bromidotetrakis[5-(prop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine-κN3]copper(II) bromide, [CuBr](C5H7N3S2)4Br, was synthesized. The complex crystallizes with fourfold molecular symmetry in the tetragonal space group P4/n. The CuII atom exhibits a square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The Cu atom is located centrally within the complex, being coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from four AAT molecules, while a bromine anion is located at the apex of the pyramid. The amino H atoms of AAT interact with bromine from the inner and outer spheres, forming a two-dimensional network in the [100] and [010] directions. Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that 33.7% of the intermolecular interactions are from H⋯H contacts, 21.2% are from S⋯H/H⋯S contacts, 13.4% are from S⋯S contacts and 11.0% are from C⋯H/H⋯C, while other contributions are from Br⋯H/H⋯Br and N⋯H/H⋯N contacts.

syn Synthesis and crystal structure of tetramethyl (E)-4,4'-(ethene-1,2-diyl)bis(5-nitrobenzene-1,2-dicarboxylate) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-03-28 The title compound, C22H18N2O12, was obtained as a by-product during the planned synthesis of 1,2-bis(2-nitro-4,5-dimethyl phthalate)ethane by oxidative dimerization starting from dimethyl-4-methyl-5-nitro phthalate. To identify this compound unambiguously, a single-crystal structure analysis was performed. The asymmetric unit consists of half a molecule that is located at a centre of inversion. As a result of symmetry restrictions, the molecule shows an E configuration around the double bond. Both phenyl rings are coplanar, whereas the nitro and the two methyl ester groups are rotated out of the ring plane by 32.6 (1), 56.5 (2) and 49.5 (2)°, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are connected into chains extending parallel to the a axis by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds that are connected into a tri-periodic network by additional C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions.

syn Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis of N-ethyl-2-{3-methyl-2-[(2Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl]cyclopent-2-en-1-ylidene}hydrazinecarbothioamide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-09 The title compound (C14H23N3S, common name: cis-jasmone 4-ethylthiosemicarbazone) was synthesized by the equimolar reaction of cis-jasmone and 4-ethylthiosemicarbazide in ethanol facilitated by acid catalysis. There is one crystallographically independent molecule in the asymmetric unit, which shows disorder of the terminal ethyl group of the jasmone carbon chain [site-occupancy ratio = 0.911 (5):0.089 (5)]. The thiosemicarbazone entity [N—N—C(=S)—N] is approximately planar, with the maximum deviation of the mean plane through the N/N/C/S/N atoms being 0.0331 (8) Å, while the maximum deviation of the mean plane through the five-membered ring of the jasmone fragment amounts to −0.0337 (8) Å. The dihedral angle between the two planes is 4.98 (7)°. The molecule is not planar due to this structural feature and the sp3-hybridized atoms of the jasmone carbon chain. Additionally, one H⋯N intramolecular interaction is observed, with graph-set motif S(5). In the crystal, the molecules are connected through pairs of H⋯S interactions with R22(8) and R21(7) graph-set motifs into centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are further connected by H⋯N interactions with graph-set motif R22(12), which are related by an inversion centre, forming a mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbon parallel to the b-axis. The crystal structure and the supramolecular assembly of the title compound are compared with four known cis-jasmone thiosemicarbazone derivatives (two crystalline modifications of the non-substituted form, the 4-methyl and the 4-phenyl derivatives). A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are from H⋯H (70.7%), H⋯S/S⋯H (13.5%), H⋯C/C⋯H (8.8%), and H⋯N/N⋯H (6.6%) interfaces (only the disordered atoms with the highest s.o.f. were considered for the evaluation).

syn Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of the trigonal–bipyramidal complex tris(2-methylpyridine N-oxide-κO)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-11 Reaction of Co(NCS)2 with 2-methylpyridine N-oxide in a 1:3 ratio in n-butanol leads to the formation of crystals of tris(2-methylpyridine N-oxide-κO)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II), [Co(NCS)2(C6H7NO)3]. The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one CoII cation two thiocyanate anions and three crystallographically independent 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands in general positions. The CoII cations are trigonal–bipyramidally coordinated by two terminal N-bonding thiocyanate anions in the trans-positions and three 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands into discrete complexes. These complexes are linked by intermolecular C–H⋯S interactions into double chains that elongate in the c-axis direction. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements prove that all batches are always contaminated with an additional and unknown crystalline phase. Thermogravimetry and differential analysis of crystals selected by hand reveal that the title compound decomposes at about 229°C in an exothermic reaction. At about 113°C a small endothermic signal is observed that, according to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, is irreversible. PXRD measurements of the residue prove that a poorly crystalline and unknown phase has formed and thermomicroscopy indicates that some phase transition occurs that is accompanied with a color change of the title compound.

syn Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal properties of the dinuclear complex bis(μ-4-methylpyridine N-oxide-κ2O:O)bis[(methanol-κO)(4-methylpyridine N-oxide-κO)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II)] By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-18 Reaction of Co(NCS)2 with 4-methylpyridine N-oxide in methanol leads to the formation of crystals of the title compound, [Co2(NCS)4(C6H7NO)4(CH4O)2] or Co2(NCS)4(4-methylpyridine N-oxide)4(methanol)2. The asymmetric unit consist of one CoII cation, two thiocyanate anions, two 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands and one methanol molecule in general positions. The H atoms of one of the methyl groups are disordered and were refined using a split model. The CoII cations octahedrally coordinate two terminal N-bonded thiocyanate anions, three 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands and one methanol molecule. Each two CoII cations are linked by pairs of μ-1,1(O,O)-bridging 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands into dinuclear units that are located on centers of inversion. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) investigations prove that the title compound is contaminated with a small amount of Co(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine N-oxide)3. Thermogravimetric investigations reveal that the methanol molecules are removed in the beginning, leading to a compound with the composition Co(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine N-oxide), which has been reported in the literature and which is of poor crystallinity.

The propionate group adopts an antiperiplanar (ap) conformation. There are short intramolecular N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O contacts, forming S(5) and S(6) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are connected into ribbons extending parallel to [010] by pairs of N—H⋯S interactions, forming rings with R22(8) graph-set motifs, and by pairs of C—H⋯S interactions, where rings with the graph-set motif R21(7) are observed. The O atom of the carbonyl group is disordered over two positions, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.27 (2):0.73 (2). The studied crystal consisted of two domains. Full Article text
syn Synthesis and crystal structures of N,2,4,6-tetramethylanilinium trifluoromethanesulfonate and N-isopropylidene-N,2,4,6-tetramethylanilinium trifluoromethanesulfonate By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-26 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. Full Article text

The exocyclic nitrogen lone pair is involved in conjugated π bonding to the five-membered ring. In the crystal, a layered structure is generated by O—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds plus C—H⋯π(ring) and weak π-stacking interactions. Full Article text
syn Synthesis and crystal structure of (NH4)[Ni3(HAsO4)(AsO4)(OH)2] By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-26 The title compound, ammonium trinickel(II) hydrogen arsenate arsenate dihydroxide, was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Its crystal structure is isotypic with that of K[Cu3(HAsO4)(AsO4)(OH)2] and is characterized by pseudo-hexagonal (001) 2∞[Ni3As2O18/3(OH)6/3O1/1(OH)1/1]− layers formed from vertex- and edge-sharing [NiO4(OH)2] octahedra and [AsO3.5(OH)0.5] tetrahedra as the building units. The hydrogen atom of the OH group shows occupational disorder and was refined with a site occupation factor of 1/2, indicating the equal presence of [HAsO4]2– and [AsO4]3– groups. Strong asymmetric hydrogen bonds between symmetry-related (O,OH) groups of the arsenate units [O⋯O = 2.588 (18) Å] as well as hydrogen bonds accepted by these (O,OH) groups from OH groups bonded to the NiII atoms [O⋯O = 2.848 (12) Å] link adjacent layers. Additional consolidation of the packing is achieved through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from the ammonium ion, which is sandwiched between adjacent layers [N⋯O = 2.930 (7) Å] although the H atoms could not be located in the present study. The presence of the pseudo-hexagonal 2∞[Ni3As2O18/3(OH)6/3O1/1(OH)1/1]− layers may be the reason for the systematic threefold twinning of (NH4)[Ni3(HAsO4)(AsO4)(OH)2] crystals. Significant overlaps of the reflections of the respective twin domains complicated the structure solution and refinement. Full Article text

In calixarenes 1 and 3, the cone conformations are additionally stabilized by intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while in calixarene 2 intramolecular Br⋯Br interactions consolidate the 1,3-alternate molecular conformation. The dense crystal packing of the cone dialkyne 1 is a consequence of π–π, C—H⋯π and C—H⋯O interactions. In the crystal of the diazide 3, there are large channels extending parallel to the c axis, which are filled by highly disordered CH2Cl2 solvent molecules. Their contribution to the intensity data was removed by the SQUEEZE procedure that showed an accessible void volume of 585 Å3 where there is room for 4.5 CH2Cl2 solvent molecules per unit cell. Rigid molecules of the 1,3-alternate calixarene 2 form a columnar head-to-tail packing parallel to [010] via van der Waals interactions, and the resulting columns are held together by weak C—H⋯π contacts.

syn Synthesis, crystal structure and anticancer activity of the complex chlorido(η2-ethylene)(quinolin-8-olato-κ2N,O)platinum(II) by experimental and theoretical methods By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-30 The complex [Pt(C9H6NO)Cl(C2H4)], (I), was synthesized and structurally characterized by ESI mass spectrometry, IR, NMR spectroscopy, DFT calculations and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the deprotonated 8-hydroxyquinoline (C9H6NO) coordinates with the PtII atom via the N and O atoms while the ethylene coordinates in the η2 manner and in the trans position compared to the coordinating N atom. The crystal packing is characterized by C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π, Cl⋯π and Pt⋯π interactions. Complex (I) showed high selective activity against Lu-1 and Hep-G2 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.8 and 0.4 µM, respectively, 54 and 33-fold more active than cisplatin. In particular, complex (I) is about 10 times less toxic to normal cells (HEK-293) than cancer cells Lu-1 and Hep-G2. Furthermore, the reaction of complex (I) with guanine at the N7 position was proposed and investigated using the DFT method. The results indicated that replacement of the ethylene ligand with guanine is thermodynamically more favorable than the Cl ligand and that the reaction occurs via two consecutive steps, namely the replacement of ethylene with H2O and the water with the guanine molecule.

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.

In this cluster, the Mo site is in a distorted octahedral coordination model, coordinating three N atoms on the Tp* ligand and three μ3-bridging S atoms in the core. The Fe sites are in a distorted tetrahedral coordination model, coordinating two μ3-bridging S atoms, one μ3-bridging N atom from Me3SiN2−, and another N atom on the terminal azide ligand. This type of heterometallic and heteroleptic single cubane cluster represents a typical example within the Mo–Fe–S cluster family, which may be a good reference for understanding the structure and function of the nitrogenase FeMo cofactor. The residual electron density of disordered solvent molecules in the void space could not be reasonably modeled, thus the SQUEEZE [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18] function was applied. The solvent contribution is not included in the reported molecular weight and density. Full Article text
syn Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal properties of a new polymorphic modification of diisothiocyanatotetrakis(4-methylpyridine)cobalt(II) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-05-31 The title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C6H7N)4] or Co(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine)4, was prepared by the reaction of Co(NCS)2 with 4-methylpyridine in water and is isotypic to one of the polymorphs of Ni(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine)4 [Kerr & Williams (1977). Acta Cryst. B33, 3589–3592 and Soldatov et al. (2004). Cryst. Growth Des. 4, 1185–1194]. Comparison of the experimental X-ray powder pattern with that calculated from the single-crystal data proves that a pure phase has been obtained. The asymmetric unit consists of one CoII cation, two crystallographically independent thiocyanate anions and four independent 4-methylpyridine ligands, all located in general positions. The CoII cations are sixfold coordinated to two terminally N-bonded thiocyanate anions and four 4-methylpyridine coligands within slightly distorted octahedra. Between the complexes, a number of weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S contacts are found. This structure represent a polymorphic modification of Co(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine)4 already reported in the CCD [Harris et al. (2003). NASA Technical Reports, 211890]. In contrast to this form, the crystal structure of the new polymorph shows a denser packing, indicating that it is thermodynamically stable at least at low temperatures. Thermogravimetric and differential thermoanalysis reveal that the title compound starts to decomposes at about 100°C and that the coligands are removed in separate steps without any sign of a polymorphic transition before decomposition.

The asymmetric unit in each case is comprised of two parent molecules, albeit of mixed chirality in the case of 1 and of similar chirality in 2 with the enantiomers occupying the neighboring asymmetric units. Structure 2 also has water molecules (partial occupancies) that form continuous channels along the b-axis direction. The thiazine rings in both structures exhibit an envelope conformation. Intermolecular interactions in 1 are defined only by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds between crystallographically independent molecules. In 2, hydrogen bonds of the type N—H⋯O between independent molecules and C—H⋯N(π) type, and π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings of symmetry-related molecules are observed.

The title compound is of interest with respect to anticancer activity. In the crystal structure, infinite linear zigzag vanadate (V2O6)2− chains, constructed from corner-sharing VO4 tetrahedra and that run parallel to the a axis, are present. Two different protonated 2-aminobenzimidazole molecules are located between the (V2O6)2– chains and form classical N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the vanadate oxygen atoms, which contribute to the cohesion of the structure.

syn Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-bromoethylammonium bromide – a possible side product upon synthesis of hybrid perovskites By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-06-18 This study presents the synthesis, characterization and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a small organic ammonium salt, C2H7BrN+·Br−. Small cations like the one in the title compound are considered promising components of hybrid perovskites, crucial for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. While the incorporation of this organic cation into various hybrid perovskite structures has been explored, its halide salt counterpart remains largely uninvestigated. The obtained structural results are valuable for the synthesis and phase analysis of hybrid perovskites. The title compound crystallizes in the solvent-free form in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/c, featuring one organic cation and one bromide anion in its asymmetric unit, with a torsion angle of −64.8 (2)° between the ammonium group and the bromine substituent, positioned in a gauche conformation. The crystal packing is predominantly governed by Br⋯H interactions, which constitute 62.6% of the overall close atom contacts. Full Article text
syn Synthesis, spectroscopic analysis and crystal structure of (N-{2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethyl}-4'-methyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-sulfonamidato)tricarbonylrhenium(I) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-06-18 The title compound, [Re(C17H22N3O2S)(CO)3] is a net neutral fac-Re(I)(CO)3 complex of the 4-methylbiphenyl sulfonamide derivatized diethylenetriamine ligand. The NNN-donor monoanionic ligand coordinates with the Re core in tridentate fashion, establishing an inner coordination sphere resulting in a net neutral complex. The complex possesses pseudo-octahedral geometry where one face of the octahedron is occupied by three carbonyl ligands and the other faces are occupied by one sp2 nitrogen atom of the sulfonamide group and two sp3 nitrogen atoms of the dien backbone. The Re—Nsp2 bond distance, 2.173 (4) Å, is shorter than the Re—Nsp3 bond distances, 2.217 (5) and 2.228 (6) Å, and is similar to the range reported for typical Re—Nsp2 bond lengths (2.14 to 2.18 Å).
