The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.

A method is outlined that allows the determination of one-dimensional stress gradients at length scales greater than 0.2 mm. By using standard four-circle X-ray diffractometer equipment and simple aperture components, length resolutions down to 0.05 mm in one direction can be achieved through constant orientation of a narrow, line-shaped beam spot. Angle calculations are given for the adjustment of goniometer angles, and for the effective azimuth and tilt of the scattering vector for general angle settings in a four-circle goniometer. The latter is necessary for the computation of stresses from lattice strain measurements.


In this paper we report single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of urea inclusion compounds containing diacyl peroxides (dioctanoyl peroxide (OP), diundecanoyl peroxide (UP), lauroyl peroxide (LP)) as the guest component. In these inclusion compounds, the host (urea) molecules crystallize in a hexagonal structure that contains linear, parallel, non-intersecting channels (tunnels). The guest (diacyl peroxide) molecules are closely packed inside these channels with a periodic repeat distance that is incommensurate with the period of the host structure along the channel axis. Furthermore, there is pronounced inhomogeneity within the guest structure: within each single crystal, there are regions in which the guest molecules are three-dimensionally ordered, and other regions in which they are only one-dimensionally ordered (along the channel axis). Although it has not proven possible to ‘determine’ the guest structures in the conventional sense, substantial information concerning their average periodicities and their orientational relationships with respect to the host has been deduced from single crystal X-ray diffraction photographs recorded at room temperature. For OP/urea, UP/urea and LP/urea, the guest structure in the three-dimensionally ordered regions is monoclinic, and six types of domain of this monoclinic structure can be identified within each single crystal. The relative packing of diacyl peroxide molecules is the same in each domain, and the different domains are related by 60° rotation about the channel axis. For each of these inclusion compounds, the offset between the ‘heights’ of the guest molecules in adjacent channels is the same ( ca . 4.6 Å (4.6 x 10 -10 m)) within experimental error, suggesting that the relative interchannel packing of the guest molecules is controlled by a property of the diacyl peroxide group. In addition to revealing these novel structural properties, the work discussed in this paper has more general relevance concerning the measurement and interpretation of single crystal X-ray diffraction patterns that are based on more than one three-dimensionally periodic reciprocal lattice. Seven separate reciprocal lattices are required to rationalize the complete X-ray diffraction pattern from each diacyl peroxide/urea crystal studied here.

AbstractThe cyano-bridged heteronuclear coordination polymer of zinc(II)/nickel(II) has been prepared by N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylendiamine (hydet-en), alternatively named 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol and characterised by IR and thermal analysis. In the bimetallic complex, the decomposition of hydet-en ligands is seen to be endothermic whereas that of the cyano ligands is found to be exothermic. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the zinc(II)-nickel(II) complex consists of a one-dimensional polymeric chain –Zn(hydet-en)

Abstract In a study aim ed at the „deconstruction“ of the supramolecular aggregate 3(18C6) · 2HN( SO2Me)2 (1,18C6 = 18-crown-6), which is known to display a ladder structure with two isotactic [18C6 - Me SO2N(H)SO2Me···)∞ polymers forming the uprights and symmetrically N - H···O bonded 18C6 rings providing the rungs, the following crystalline complexes were isolated and (except for 2b) characterized by low-temperature X-ray diffraction: 18C6-ClN (SO2Me)2 (2a, triclinic, space group P1̅, Z = 2), 18C6-PhN (SO2Me)2 (2b), 18C6 -MeN(SO2Me)2 (3, monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 8), Bz18C6-HN(SO2Me)2 (4, Bz18C6 = benzo-18-crown-6, monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 4), 18C6-2 MeN (SO2Me)2 (5, triclinic, P1̅, Z = 1), 18C6-Me2SO- HN( SO2Me) (SO2Ph) (13, triclinic, P1̅, Z = 2), and 18C6-H2OMe2SO·2HN(SO2Me)2 (14, triclinic, P1̅, Z = 2). Each of the one-dimensional polymers 2a (syndiotactic), 3 (disyndiotactic) and 4 (isotactic) mimics a single upright of 1; in contrast to 1 and 2a, where the intra-catemer connectivity solely relies on S - Me ··· crow n and crown ··· O = S hydrogen bonds, this bonding system is reinforced in 3 by N -Me ··· crown and in 4 by N - H ··· crown hydrogen bonds. Complex 5 is monomeric and matches a fragment formally extruded from the catemer 3; moreover, 3 and 5 represent a rare case of two structurally characterized 18C6 complexes containing the same uncharged guest species in distinct molecular ratios. The surprising structure of the quaternary adduct 14 exhibits an [18C6 ··· MeSO2N(H)SO2Me ··· ]∞ chain, which can be regarded both as an isolated, though unmodified upright from the ladder 1 and, being syndiotactic, as a stereochemical analogue of 2a; the potentially rung-forming *NH functions in the chain are blocked by hydrogenbonded side chains of the type * N - H ··· water ··· sulfoxide ··· H - N (SO2Me)2. The ternary complex 13 consists of chains [18C6 ··· Me2SO ··· H - N (SO2Ph)SO2Me···]∞ and is not closely related to the other structures

A new mononuclear europium complex incorporating the (+)-di-p-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid (D-H2DTTA) ligand, namely, catena-poly[tris{μ2-3-carboxy-2,3-bis[(4-methylphenyl)carbonyloxy]propanoato}tris(methanol)europium(III)], [Eu(C20H17O8)3(CH3OH)3] n , (I), has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure analysis indicates that complex (I) crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3 and exhibits an infinite one-dimensional chain structure, in which the Eu3+ ion is surrounded by six O atoms from six D-HDTTA− ligands and three O atoms from three coordinated methanol molecules, thus forming a tricapped trigonal prism geometry. The D-H2DTTA ligand is partially deprotonated and adopts a μ1,6-coordination mode via two carboxylate groups to link adjacent Eu3+ ions, affording an infinite one-dimensional propeller-shaped coordination polymer chain along the c axis, with an Eu...Eu distance of 7.622 (1) Å. Moreover, C—H...π interactions lead to the formation of helical chains running along the c axis and the whole structure displays a snowflake pattern in the ab plane. The circular dichroism spectrum confirms the chirality of complex (I). The solid-state photoluminescence properties were also investigated at room temperature and (I) exhibits characteristic red emission bands derived from the Eu3+ ion (CIE 0.63, 0.32), with a reasonably long lifetime of 0.394 ms, indicating effective energy transfer from the ligand to the metal centre. In addition, a magnetic investigation reveals single-ion magnetic behaviour. The spin-orbit coupling parameter (λ) between the ground and excited states is fitted to be 360 (2) cm−1 through Zeeman perturbation. Therefore, complex (I) may be regarded as a chiral optical-magneto bifunctional material.

Nickel nanostructures prepared by various methods have received considerable attentions due to their numerous applications. In this study, one-dimensional nickel nanowires (NiNWs) were synthesized by the reduction of nickel (II) chloride in polyol medium. Poly (vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) served as the surfactant and hydrazine hydrate was used as the reductant. The effects of different experimental parameters, i.e. concentration of Ni2+, volume of N2H4, concentration of PVP and reaction temperature on the formation and morphology of NiNWs were studied. The structure, composition and surface morphology of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the morphology as well as the diameter of NiNWs could be effectively controlled by adjusting parameters of the synthesis process.

Thiohydantoins have been used in the manufacture of medicines and in industrial processes. Depending on the nature and type of substitution on the heterocyclic ring, these compounds may display pharmaceutical and biological activity with a variety of applications as antiepileptic, antitumoral, antiinflammatory, and principally for the treatment of prostate cancer. In this study, a new thiohydantoin was synthetized from the valine amino acid and structurally characterized. The title compound, C6H10N2O2S, with systematic name rac-5-isopropyl-2-tioxoimidazolidin-4-one, has been synthetized by a solvent-free synthesis. The heterocyclic compound was characterized by spectroscopic infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). This material crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. In the supramolecular structure, the molecules are joined by N- --H···O and N---H···S hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R2 2(8) dimers and C2 2(9) chains that run along the [001] direction in an infinite one-dimensional network.

5,11,17,23-Tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-dihydroxy-26,28-bis(tetrazole-5-ylmethoxy)calix[4]arene has been reported to form remarkable Ln19 and Ln12 elongated clusters, upon addition of aqueous ammonium carboxylates. The impact of the <i>para</i> substituent on lanthanoid cluster formation has been studied by synthesising two new bis-tetrazole calixarenes, with <i>p</i>-H, and <i>p</i>-allyl substituents. Solution phase dynamic light scattering measurements of the reaction mixtures indicated that clusters are not formed with the <i>p</i>-H and <i>p</i>-allyl derivatives, in contrast with the behaviour of the <i>t-</i>butyl analogue. Lanthanoid complexes of the <i>p</i>-H and <i>p</i>-allyl calixarenes were characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and were found to form mononuclear complexes, linked to form a one-dimensional coordination polymer for the <i>p</i>-allyl system. All of the complexes were isolated as ammonium salts, with ammonium cation included in the calixarene cavity in most cases. It is concluded that the nature of the <i>para</i> substituent has a profound impact on the lanthanoid cluster formation process, and derivatives with more subtle structural changes will be required to determine if additional lanthanoid “bottlebrush” clusters can be isolated.<br><br>
