The title compound, C26H32N2O4(M)·C2H4O2, (I), is the product of the Petrenko–Kritchenko condensation ofN-propylpiperidinone with 1,5-bis(2-formylphenoxy)-3-oxapentane and ammonium acetate. InM, the aza-14-crown-3-ether ring adopts a bowl conformation, with the configuration of the C—O—C—C —O—C—C—O—C polyether chain beingt–g(−)–t–t–g(+)–t(t=trans, 180°;g=gauche, ±60°). The dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene rings fused to the aza-14-crown-4-ether moiety is 62.75 (5)°. The central piperidinone ring has a boat conformation, whereas the terminal piperidinone ring adopts a chair conformation. The boat conformation of the central piperidinone ring is supported by the bifurcated intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, each solvent molecule is linked to moleculeM viastrong O—H...N hydrogen bonding, forming hydrogen-bonded pairs of molecules, which further interact through weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to theacplane.

The crystal structure of β-bromo-19β,28-epoxy-18α-oleanan-3-one was elucidated. The crystal is orthorhombic, P212121, a = 9.686(1), b = 14.355(2), c = 19.687(4) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.042 for 2 410 observed reflections. Rings B, C, D and E adopt the chair conformation, the five membered ether cycle in ring E occurs in the envelope form. Ring A takes the twist-boat conformation turned towards the classical boat with C2 and C5 in the stem-stern position, in contrast to the conformation in solution, which is turned in the opposite direction towards the classical boat with C3 and C10 in the stem-stern positions.

The molecular structures of exo-7-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one, 3, and the endo-7-methyl isomer, 4, have been determined using X-ray-diffraction techniques. Compound 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 15.115(1), c = 7.677(2) Å, and Z = 8 while 4 crystallizes in the space group P21 with a = 6.446(1), b = 7.831(1), c = 8.414(2) Å, β = 94.42(2)°, and Z = 2. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to final agreement factors of R = 0.041 and R = 0.034 for 3 and 4 respectively. Compound 3 exists in a chair–chair conformation and there is no significant flattening of the chair rings. However, in 4, the non-ketone ring is forced into a boat conformation. These results are significant in interpreting what conformations may be present in the related sp2-hybridized carbocations.

The title compound, C12H17N5O, was obtained by cyclocondensation of 2,4-diaminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile with cycloheptanone. The tetrahydropyrimidine ring has a distorted boat conformation and the cycloheptane ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linkedviaN—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds generating a three-dimensional network.

The preparation and purification of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] and [Pd( hpip )Cl2] ( hpip = homopiperazine = 1,4-diazacycloheptane) are described. Crystal structures of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] and [Pd( hpip )Cl2] have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and refined to R values of 0.023 (932 F) and 0.023 (948 F). The crystals of [Pt( hpip )Cl2] are orthorhombic, space group Pbcm , a 7.7019(8), b 9.8080(12), c 12.1944(14) Ǻ, and those of [Pd( hpip )Cl2] are monoclinic, space group P21/m, a 6.1001(9), b 11.527(2), c 6.458(I) Ǻ, β 106.30(2)°. The seven- membered rings of the ligands in both complexes adopt boat-like conformations in which the five- membered chelate ring has an eclipsed N-C-C-N group and the six- membered chelate ring adopts a chair conformation. Molecular mechanics methods were used to investigate whether this conformation was a crystallographic artefact but it was found to be real. An alternative conformation in which the six-membered chelate ring adopts a skew-boat conformation was also investigated. It was found to be less stable than the conformation observed in the crystal structures, but to a degree that depends on whether non-bonded interactions involving the metal atom were included or not.

In the title 3-azabicyclononane derivative, C22H22N2, both the fused piperidine and cyclohexane rings adopt a chair conformation. The phenyl rings attached to the central azabicylononane fragment in an equatorial orientation are inclined to each other at 23.7 (1)°. The amino group is not involved in any hydrogen bonding, so the crystal packing is stabilized only by van der Waals forces.

Anions are important hydrogen bond acceptors in a range of biological, chemical, environmental and medical molecular recognition processes.<sup> </sup>These interactions have been exploited for the design and synthesis of ditopic resorcinarenes as the hydrogen bond strength can be tuned through the modification of the substituent at the 2-position. However, many potentially useful compounds, especially those incorporating electron-withdrawing functionalities, have not been prepared due to the challenge of their synthesis: their incorporation slows resorcinarene formation that is accessed by electrophic aromatic substitution. As part of our broader campaign to employ resorcinarenes as selective recognition elements, we need access to these specialized materials, and in this article we report a straightforward synthetic pathway for obtaining a 2-(carboxymethyl)-resorcinarene, and resorcinarene esters in general. We discuss the unusual conformation it adopts, and propose that this arises from the electron-withdrawing nature of the ester substituents that renders them better hydrogen bond acceptors than the phenols, ensuring that each of those acts as a donor only. DFT calculations show that this conformation arises as a consequence of the unusual configurational isomerism of this compound and interruption of the archetypal hydrogen bonding by the ester functionality.

In the title compound, C30H24N2O·0.5C4H8O2, the piperidone ring adopts the chair conformation and all the phenyl rings are equatorially oriented. The ethyl acetate molecule is present as a space filler and does not participate in the hydrogen-bonding network. The crystal structure is stabilized through C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. No significant C—H...π and π–π interactions are observed.

The title compound, C15H24O2[systematic name: (4S,4aR,6R,8aR)-4a-hydroxy-4,8a-dimethyl-6-(prop-1-en-2-yl)octahydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one], features two edge-shared six-membered rings with the hydroxyl and methyl substituents at this bridge beingtrans. One adopts a flattened chair conformation with the C atoms bearing the carbonyl and methyl substituents lying 0.5227 (16) and 0.6621 (15) Å, respectively, above and below the mean plane through the remaining four C atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0145 Å). The second ring, bearing the prop-1-en-2-yl group, has a chair conformation. Supramolecular helical chains along thebaxis are found in the crystal packing, which are sustained by hydroxy–carbonyl O—H...O hydrogen bonding.

The thermolysis of arachno-1 [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H8)(CS2H)] in the presence of tellurium powder yielded a series of ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes: [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 2, [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3B(SMe)}] 3, and [(Cp*Ru)2(η1-S)(η1-CS){(CH2)2S3BH}] 4. Compounds 2–4 were considered as ruthenium trithia-borinane complexes, where the central six-membered ring {C2BS3} adopted a boat conformation. Compounds 2–4 were similar to our recently reported ruthenium diborinane complex [(Cp*Ru){(η2-SCHS)CH2S2(BH2)2}]. Unlike diborinane, where the central six-membered ring {CB2S3} adopted a chair conformation, compounds 2–4 adopted a boat conformation. In an attempt to convert arachno-1 into a closo or nido cluster, we pyrolyzed it in toluene. Interestingly, the reaction led to the isolation of a capped butterfly cluster, [(Cp*Ru)2(B3H5)(CS2H2)] 5. All the compounds were characterized by 1H, 11B{1H}, and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of complexes 2, 3, and 5 were also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
