The crystal structures of three crown ether complexes (cyclohexano-15•crown-5•2LiOPh (1): Li2O7C26H36, Mr = 474.45, λ(CuKα)filt. = 1.5418 Å; cyclohexano-15-crown-5•2NaOPh (2): Na2O7C26H36, Mr = 504.54, λ(CuKα)filt. = 1.5418 Å; and 15-crown-5•2NaOPh (3): Na2O7C22H30, Mr = 452.46, λ(CuKα)mono. = 1.5418 Å) have been determined by X-ray diffraction at room temperature (T = 298 K). Complex 1 crystallizes in space group P21/n with a = 15.032(5), b = 13.332(2), c = 13.533(3) Å, β = 106.28(2)°, V = 2603.2 Å3, and Z = 4. Complex 2 crystallizes in space group P21/n with a = 15.94(1), b = 12.194(7), c = 14.068(7) Å, β = 102.84(5)°, V = 2666.3 Å3, and Z = 4. Complex 3 crystallizes in space group P21/c with a = 12.451(3), b = 17.263(3), c = 12.659(6) Å, β = 115.74(3)°, V = 2450.8 Å3, and Z = 4. The three structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to residuals, R, of 0.080, 0.069, and 0.081 for complexes 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In each structure the macrocycle forms a 1:2 host–guest complex with the alkali metal. Each structure exhibits a dimer of the general form (MAC•2MOPh)2 where M = Li+ and Na+ for structures 1 and 2, respectively, and MAC = cyclohexano-15-crown-5, while M = Na+ and MAC = 15-crown-5 for structure 3. In each case the two metals of the monomeric unit have different crystallographic and chemical environments. In structures 1 and 3 one alkali metal is coordinated to all five oxygens of the macrocycle and to one of the phenoxide oxygens, while the other alkali metal is coordinated to only one oxygen of the macrocycle and to three phenoxide oxygens. In structure 2, one alkali metal is coordinated to only four of the five oxygens of the macrocycle and to two of the phenoxide oxygens, while the other alkali metal is coordinated to only one oxygen of the macrocycle and to three phenoxide oxygens (as in 1 and 3). Key words: crown ether, host–guest complexes, X-ray crystallography.

Bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 (n = 0, 1) were prepared by the reactions of the corresponding carboranyl acyl chlorides with ethylenediamine. Crystal molecular structure of 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C-1,2-C2B10H11)2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Treatment of bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 with ammonium or cesium fluoride results in partial deboronation of the ortho-carborane cages to the nido-carborane ones with formation of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2−. The attempted reaction of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)CCH2-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2− with GdCl3 in 1,2-dimethoxy- ethane did not give the expected metallacarborane. The stability of different conformations of Gd-containing metallacarboranes has been estimated by quantum-chemical calculations using [3,3-μ-DME-3,3′-Gd(1,2-C2B9H11)2]− as a model. It was found that in the most stable conformation the CH groups of the dicarbollide ligands are in anti,anti-orientation with respect to the DME ligand, while any rotation of the dicarbollide ligand reduces the stability of the system. This makes it possible to rationalize the design of carborane ligands for the synthesis of gadolinium metallacarboranes on their base.

The effect of chalcogenophosphoryl fragments on the anodic oxidation of 9-chalcogenophosphoryl-9,10-dihydroacridines was studied in detail. The data of X-ray structural analysis, quantum chemical calculations and cyclic voltammetry obtained for these compounds provide an explanation of the observed features. The direct electrochemical phosphorylation of acridine was first carried out successfully.

Nitrofurantoin was crystallized from multiple mixtures of water and organic solvents with and without additives to try to find and identify factors affecting phase obtained in crystallization and provide possible information on crystallization control. Obtained crystals were identified with powder X-ray diffractometry. Crystallization control possibilities were evaluated by using polymer additives and crystallization additives, by also using quantum chemical calculations to investigate the association of nitrofurantoin and additive molecules and calculate Gibbs energy of association.

4aα (chiral) and 4aβ (achiral) polymorphs of 1H-benzotriazole are studied by X-ray crystallography, SSNMR, IR, Raman, VCD, and quantum chemical calculations. The absolute configuration of the supramolecular structure of 4aα polymorph is determined.
