Clavorubin (1,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methyl-9,10-dioxoanthracene-2-carboxylic acid) (1), previously known only from the ascomycetious rye fungus Claviceps purpurea (‘ergot’), has been isolated from the fruit bodies of two Australasian basidiomycetes belonging to the genus Cortinarius and characterized by spectroscopic and chemical methods. A single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the methyl ester (4) of 6-O-methylclavorubin establishes unequivocally, for the first time, the structure of the natural product.

Cardinalic acid (1,7,8-trihydroxy-6-methoxy-3-methyl-9,10-dioxoanthracene-2-carboxylic acid) (4) and the known anthraquinone carboxylic acids endocrocin (1), dermolutein (2) and cinnalutein (3) have been isolated from the New Zealand toadstool Dermocybe cardinalis. Methyl 1,7,8-tri-O-methylcardinalate (5) has been prepared both by permethylation of the natural product (4) and from 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone by two consecutive regioselective Diels–Alder cycloaddition reactions. A single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the ester (5) corroborates the structure of the natural product (4) and confirms the outcome of both cycloaddition reactions.

Abstract The molecular and single crystal structure of O,O-diethyl O-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate oxalate, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, is described for the first time; although this compound is well-known by industry and research from the mid-20th century. The known decomposition product of pure O,O-diethyl O-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate could also be structurally characterized. Additionally, the compounds are characterized by recent analytical methods e.g. NMR. The findings of our study support the thesis that the isolated decomposition product must be a by-product of the thiono-thiolo rearrangement process of the title compound.

The crystal structure of the 1 : 1 adduct of N-methylaniline with 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylic acid has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c with Z 4 in a cell of dimensions a 8·467(5), b 6·106(2), c 23·95(1) Å, β 94·48(3)°. The molecules associate in a tetrameric, proton-transfer formation which has potential as a new supramolecular synthon.

Pseudobinary cyanides of monovalent and divalent metals were synthesized, and X-ray and Raman data of the cyanides were measured. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses were performed on Zn(CN)2 (Pn3̄m (No. 224), a = 591.32(7) pm), Hg(CN)2 (I4̄2d (No. 122), a = 969.22(14) and c = 890,15(18) pm) and for the first time on AgCN (I4̄2d (No. 166), a = 600.58(8) and c = 526.28(11) pm). The data are compared with literature data. The reaction of TlF and NaCN in 25% aqueous ammonia solution in air led to Tl5(CO3)2(CN) which was characterized by X-ray (Cmca (No. 64), 1468.1(3), 1171.6(2) and 1266.0(3) pm) and Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract Ba2ZnGe2S6O was prepared for the first time and the crystal structure determined by using single crystal X-ray methods. The space group is D32d-P4̄21m, tetragonal (No. 113). Lattice constants: a = 963.59 ± 0.22; c = 645.06 ± 0.25 pm. The tetrahedral framework structure is described and discussed. Zn is linked only to sulfur. The oxygen belongs to the coordination sphere of Ge and Ba.
