The molecular structures of di (9-anthryl) ethanedione (9,9′-anthril) and those of four 1,2-diketones derived from 9,9′-anthril by way of intramolecular cycloadditions were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Two crystal modifications of 9,9′-anthril were available and found to differ in the dihedral angles (43.9 and 178.3°) about the 1,2-dicarbonyl moiety. The 1,2-dicarbonyl group of the cyclobutanedione moiety in the anthril 4π+4π cyclomer is associated with a dihedral angle of 2.6°. In the anthril isomer derived by 4π+2π cycloaddition, an exceptionally long single bond is indicative of molecular strain. The molecular structures of a keto enol and of a novel 1,2-diketo substituted triptycene, both obtained from the 4π+2π cyclomer by acid-catalysed rearrangement and dehydrogenation, respectively, were established. The topological and spectroscopic differences between the keto en01 and its 1,2-diketo precursor are discussed.

The crystal structures of the salicylideneaniline derivatives N-salicylidene-4-tert-butyl-aniline (1), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-methoxyaniline (2), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-bromoaniline (3), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-3-chloroaniline (4), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-4-bromoaniline (5), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-aniline (6), N-3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylidene-4-carboxyaniline (7) and N-salicylidene-2-chloroaniline (8) were analyzed by X-ray diffraction analysis at ambient temperature to investigate the relationship between their photochromic properties and molecular structures. A clear correlation between photochromism and the dihedral angle of the two benzene rings in the salicylideneaniline derivatives was observed. Crystals with dihedral angles less than 20° were non-photochromic, whereas those with dihedral angles greater than 30° were photochromic. Crystals with dihedral angles between 20 and 30° could be either photochromic or non-photochromic. Inhibition of the pedal motion by intra- or intermolecular steric hindrance, however, can result in non-photochromic behaviour even if the dihedral angle is larger than 30°.

The crystal structures of racemic bis [α-(9-anthryl)] ether and its meso form have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at 295 K, being refined by least squares to residuals of 0.053 and 0.041 for 1868 and 3568 independent 'observed' reflections respectively. Crystals of the racemate are orthorhombic, Pcab, a 23.07(1), b 19.85(2), c 10.241(8) Ǻ, Z 8. Crystals of the meso form are triclinic, Pī , a 19.032(12), b 14.207(11), c 9.451(8) Ǻ, α 79.46(6), β 89.68(6), γ 68.97(5)°, Z 4. In the racemate , the dihedral angle between the methyl groups along the ether bonds is 12°, and the short axes of the anthracene moieties lie at an angle of about 120°. In the meso compound, for the two molecules the dihedral angles between the methyl groups along the ether bonds are 90 and 93°, the angle between the two anthracene moieties is 90°, and the interplanar angles between the partly overlapping aromatic systems are 46 and 43°.

The molecular structures of ethyl di-9-anthrylglycolate (1) and methyl di-9-anthrylglycolate (2), as well as those of three isomerization products of (2), have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In both (1) and (2), the anthracenemoieties are characterized by marked deviations from planarity. The stereospecific course of the thermal and photochemical isomerization of (2) by Diels -Alder reaction is suggested to be governed by the spatial demand of the alkoxycarbonyl group. Base-catalysed isomerization of (2) by migration of 9-anthryl from carbon to oxygen is associated with steric relief.

The crystal structure of the natural product zeylenone, C21H18O7, was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure has three chiral centers at positions C1, C5 and C6 of the cyclohexanone ring, but the absolute configuration could not be determined reliably. The methyl benzoate and benzoyloxy substituents at positions C1 and C5 of the cyclohexenone ring are on the same side of the ring with the dihedral angle between their mean planes being 16.25 (10)°. These rings are almost perpendicular to the cyclohexenone ring. The benzoate groups and two hydroxyl groups on the cyclohexenone ring form strong hydrogen bonds to consolidate the crystal structure. In addition, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds also contribute to the packing of the structure.

In the present research, 5,5-dimethyl-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (1) was prepared by condensation from N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide, while 4-phenyl-5-(pyrazin-2-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (2) and 2-((5-(pyridin-2-yl) -4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetic acid (3) was prepared by oxidative cyclization from 2-(amino(pyrazin-2-yl)methylene)-N-phenylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide and 2-(amino(pyridine-2-yl)methylene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, respectively. The three compounds have been well characterized and their molecular structures studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The supramolecular assembly of each crystal has also been analyzed and discussed.

Abstract The syntheses of three different amidinosilanes of the type Me2Si[N=C(Ph)R]2 with R = pyrrolidino, morpholino, and diethylamino and one derivative with the composition R2Si[N=C(Ph)R]2 with R = morpholino are reported. These compounds were prepared in one-pot syntheses including three consecutive steps. All products are analysed by single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, and Raman spectroscopy. The Si–N=C–N units of these compounds show characteristic structural features and cause a significant high field shift of the 29Si NMR signals.

Dicarbene complexes [Pd(OAc)2(diNHC)] (2), [Pd(O2CCF3)2(diNHC)] (3), and [Pd(CNCH3)2(diNHC)](SO3CF3)2 (4) bearing labile acetato, fluoroacetato, and acetonitrile co-ligands have been synthesized via metathesis reaction of the respective precursor [PdBr2(diNHC)] (1) with Ag-salts. All complexes are stable towards air and moisture and have been fully characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric methods. Notably and in comparison to diphosphine analogues, they resist ligand disproportionation in solution. Their molecular structures have also been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. A preliminary catalytic study showed low activity in the hydroamination reaction, but revealed an interesting co-ligand influence.

Four new platinum(II) complexes, namely tetraethylammonium tribromido(2-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole-κN)platinate(II), [NEt4][PtBr3(C8H7NS)] (1), tetraethylammonium tribromido(6-methoxy-2-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole-κN)platinate(II), [NEt4][PtBr3(C9H9NOS)] (2), tetraethylammonium tribromido(2,5,6-trimethyl-1,3-benzothiazole-κN)platinate(II), [NEt4][PtBr3(C10H11NS)] (3), and tetraethylammonium tribromido(2-methyl-5-nitro-1,3-benzothiazole-κN)platinate(II), [NEt4][PtBr3(C8H6N2O2S)] (4), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. These species are precursors of compounds with potential application in cancer chemotherapy. All four platinum(II) complexes adopt the expected square-planar coordination geometry, and the benzothiazole ligand is engaged in bonding to the metal atom through the imine N atom (Pt—N). The Pt—N bond lengths are normal: 2.035 (5), 2.025 (4), 2.027 (5) and 2.041 (4) Å for complexes1,2,3and4, respectively. The benzothiazole ligands are positioned out of the square plane, with dihedral angles ranging from 76.4 (4) to 88.1 (4)°. The NEt4cation in3is disordered with 0.57/0.43 occupancies.
