Heterocyclic Moiety

Unnatural cyclic α-amino acids play an important role in the search for biologically active compounds and macromolecules. Enantiomers of natural amino acids with a D configuration are not naturally encoded, but can be chemically synthesized. The crystal structures of two enantiomers obtained by a method of stereoselective synthesis, namely (5R,8S)-8-tert-butyl-7-methoxy-8-methyl-9-oxa-6-azaspiro[4.5]decane-2,10-dione, (1), and (5S,8R)-8-tert-butyl-7-methoxy-8-methyl-9-oxa-6-azaspiro[4.5]decane-2,10-dione, (2), both C14H21NO4, were determined by X-ray diffraction. Both enantiomers crystallize isostructurally in the space group P21, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit and with the same packing motif. The crystal structures are stabilized by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of chains along the [100] and [010] directions. The conformation of the 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazin-2-one fragment was compared with other crystal structures possessing this heterocyclic moiety. The comparison showed that the title compounds are not exceptional among structures containing the 3,6-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazin-2-one fragment. The planar moiety was more frequently observed in derivatives in which this fragment was not condensed with other rings.

The use of high temperature special ceramics which are usually complex materials based on oxides, nitrides, carbides and borides of silicon and aluminum, is critically dependent on their thermomechanical and other physical properties. The investigations of the phase diagrams, crystal structures and microstructural features are essential for better understanding of the macro-properties. Phase diagrams and crystal structures have been studied mainly by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has contributed to this field to a very limited extent; it has been used more extensively in the study of microstructure, phase transformations and lattice defects. Often only TEM can give solutions to numerous problems in the above fields, since the various phases exist in extremely fine grains and subgrain structures; single crystals of appreciable size are often not available. Examples with some of our experimental results from two multicomponent systems are presented here. The standard ion thinning technique was used for the preparation of thin foil samples, which were then investigated with JEOL 200A and Siemens ELMISKOP 102 (for the lattice resolution work) electron microscopes.

Single crystals of two novel shchurovskyite-related compounds, K2Cu[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (1) and K2.35Cu0.825[Cu3O]2(PO4)4 (2), were synthesized by crystallization from gaseous phase and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structures of both compounds are based upon similar Cu-based layers, formed by rods of the [O2Cu6] dimers of oxocentered (OCu4) tetrahedra. The topologies of the layers show both similarities and differences from the shchurovskyite-type layers. The layers are connected in different fashions via additional Cu atoms located in the interlayer, in contrast to shchurovskyite, where the layers are linked by Ca2+ cations. The structures of the shchurovskyite family are characterized using information-based structural complexity measures, which demonstrate that the crystal structure of 1 is the simplest one, whereas that of 2 is the most complex in the family.

The P,N-substituted ferrocene [Fe{η5-C5H4-P(S)Ph2}(η5-C5H4-NHCH2tBu)] was prepared in six steps from the bromo derivative [Fe{η5-C5H4-PPh2}(η5-C5H4-Br)]. Its reductive desulfurisation with Raney nickel afforded the corresponding phosphino-substituted derivative [Fe(η5-C5H4- PPh2)(η5-C5H4-NHCH2tBu)]. Both compounds have been structurally characterised by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction studies.
