The solid-state conformation of racemic N-methylglutamic acid has been defined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Orthorhombic crystals belong to the space group Pbca with a 15.219(2), b 10.583(1), c 9.595(1) Å and Z 8. The structure was refined to a final R value of 0.049 for the 1285 measured data. In the crystal the molecules adopt a zwitterionic form with protonation having occurred at the amino nitrogen atom. The a-carboxyl is unprotonated with the d-carboxy group retaining a proton. The i.r. spectrum shows absorptions which also are indicative of the amino acid being in the zwitterionic form. Intermolecular H-bonds involving the carboxylate proton and the two protons on the N-atom link the molecules into a three-dimensional network in the crystal.

While the room temperature reaction of [RuCl2(CO)3]2 and Ph2S in tetrahydrofuran in air affords [RuCl2(CO)2(SPh2)2] (1) in moderate yield, that in dichloromethane results in the formation of a mixture of [RuCl2(CO)3(H2O)] (2) and [Ru(H2O)6][RuCl3(CO)3]2·2H2O (3). Very small amounts of 1 are produced only upon prolonged reflux of the reagents. All compounds were characterized by X-ray crystallography. 1 crystallizes as discrete octahedral cis(CO), cis(Cl), trans(Ph2S) complexes, which are joined into stacks by weak H···Cl hydrogen bonds. 2 is also composed of discrete octahedral complexes. Four hydrogen bonds involving aqua and chlorido ligands link two complexes into a dimer. The structure of 3 consists of octahedral hexaaquaruthenium cations and two tricarbonyltrichloridoruthenate anions. The water of crystallization is involved in hydrogen bonding between the cations and anions resulting in the formation of a continuous three-dimensional network.

Abstract A new mixed-ligand complex of copper(II) with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2-methyllactate was prepared. [Cu(HmL)2(phen)] ·2H2O (where HmL = monodeprotonated 2-methyllactic acid) was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic and EPR spectroscopy, magnetic measurements at room temperature, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffractometry. The copper atom is in a tetragonally distorted octahedral environment and the 2-methyllactato ligand is bidentately chelating. The presence of lattice water molecules mediates the formation of a three-dimensional network.

The synthesis and structure of (C4H3S)TeCH2CH2OC6H5 (1) (C4H3S = thiophen-2-yl) are reported and compared to those of the analogous selenium compound (C4H3S)SeCH2CH2OC6H5 previously synthesized by our group. The compound was characterized by 1H, 13C{1H}-, and 125Te- NMR spectroscopy as well as by X-ray single crystal crystallography. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21, with Z = 2, and unit cell dimensions a = 10.618(2) Å , b = 5.357(1) Å , c = 10.684(2) Å , β = 96.57(3)°. The lattice is composed of discrete molecules that are joined together by weak hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The thiophen-2-yl ring is disordered and shows two alternative orientations with the site occupation factors of 0.70(1) and 0.30(1). All bond parameters are quite normal. The comparison of the lattices in 1 and in its selenium anologue shows that while the closest intermolecular contacts are similar, the packing of the molecules is different.

Crystal data, Mo Kα radiation: (1), space group P21/n, Z = 4, a = 8.768 (5), b = 11.036 (6), c = 19.79 (1) Å, β = 96.92 (1)°, R F = 0.055 for 1468 observed data; (2), space group Cc, Z = 4, a = 18.091 (4), b = 13.719 (3), c = 11.539 (2) Å, β = 111.93 (3)°, R F = 0.051 for 1187 observed data; (3), space group Cc, Z = 4, a = 18.309  (4), b = 13.807 (3), c = 11.577 (2) Å, β = 112.45 (3)°, R F = 0.049 for 1592 observed data; (4), space group P21/n, Z = 4, a = 8.976 (1), b = 14.455 (2), c = 15.377 (3) Å, β = 94.16(1)°, R F = 0.062 for 1984 observed data. In the crystal structure of (1) the parallel alternate arrangement of selenourea–chloride ribbons and selenourea chains generates a puckered layer and the cations are sandwiched between them. In the isomorphous complexes (2) and (3) wide selenourea–halide double ribbons are crosslinked by bridging selenourea molecules via N—H...Se and N—H...X hydrogen bonds [average N...Se = 3.521 (8) and 3.527 (7), N...Cl = 3.354 (8) and N...Br = 3.500 (7) Å in (2) and (3), respectively] to form a channel-like three-dimensional network and the cations are accommodated in a single column within each channel. In the crystal structure of (4) the selenourea molecules are joined in the shoulder-to-shoulder fashion via N—H...Se hydrogen bonds [N...Se = 3.529 (7) and 3.534 (7) Å] to generate a ribbon and each selenourea molecule also forms a pair of chelating N—H...I hydrogen bonds [N...I = 3.567 (7) and 3.652 (7) Å] to an adjacent iodide ion.

AbstractTwo coordination polymers, {[Co(bipmo)(tbip)]·3H2O}n (1) and {[Cd(bipmo)(tbip)]·3H2O}n (2) (bipmo=bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone, H2tbip=5-tert-butylisophthalic acid), were synthesized by solvothermal methods and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data indicate that the solid state structures of 1 and 2 consist of metal-aromatic carboxylate layers, which are pillared by weak interactions to generate a three-dimensional network. The topological structures of 1 and 2 are uninodal nets based on 3-connected nodes with the Schläfli symbol of {63}.

An inorganic-organic hybrid vanadate complex, Zn2(en)V2O7 (en = ethylenediamine) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, TG analysis, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with a = 7.0885(7), b = 8.6040(9), c = 8.1869(8) Å, b = 112.224(2)° and V = 462.22(8) Å3, T = 298±2 K and R1[I>2s(I)] = 0.0291 for 2170 observed reflections. The structure consists of undulating sheets constructed from helical chains that share Zn coordination centers with repeating units propagated into a helix by the two-fold screw axes at 0, y, ½ and pillared with alternating VO4 tetrahedra to generate a 3D chiral network. Neighboring helices are interconnected by µ2-O bridges to form the three-dimensional network. The strength of the network is reinforced by hydrogen bonding. TG analysis shows thermal stability of the network up to 283 °C.

The synthesis, crystal structure and physico-chemical characterization are presented for the piperazinium bis iodate dihydrate. An X-ray investigation has shown that this compound crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric monoclinic system, space group Pc with the lattice parameters: a = 8.969 (2) Å, b = 6.027 (3)  Å, c = 11.958 (2)  Å; V = 612.7 (3)  Å3 and Z = 2. The structure was solved from 3546 independent reflexions with R1 = 0.053 and wR2 = 0.130. I…O halogen bonds [R22(4) graph-set motif] range between 2.770 (4) and 3.108 (1) Å and connect neighboring IO-3 anions with each other so as to create a bi-dimensional layer parallel to the (b,c) plane. These layers are interconnected via N−H…O and C−H…O, to the piperazinium dication to generate a three-dimensional network.

The 12: 1 reaction of urea (U) with CoI2in EtOH yielded the “clathrate-coordination” compound[CoU6]I2·4U (1). The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The lattice constants area= 9.844(4),b= 7.268(3),c= 24.12(1) Å, andβ=98.12(1)∘. The crystal structure determination demonstrates the existence of octahedral[CoU6]2+cations,I-counterions, and two different types (twoU1and twoU2) of hydrogen-bonded, lattice urea molecules. The[CoU6]2+cations and theU1lattice molecules form two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded layers which are parallel to theabplane. TheI-anions are placed above and below each layer, and are hydrogen bonded both toU1molecules and[CoU6]2+cations. EachU2molecule is connected to a[CoU6]2+cation through anN–H⋯Ohydrogen bond resulting in a three-dimensional network. Room temperature magnetic susceptibility and spectroscopic (solid-state UV/Vis, IR, Raman) data of1are discussed in terms of the nature of bonding and the known structure.

The crystal structure of title compound, (C14H36N4)[CrO3Cl]2Cl2, has been determined by synchrotron radiation X-ray crystallography at 220 K. The macrocyclic cation lies across a crystallographic inversion center and hence the asymmetric unit contains one half of the organic cation, one chlorochromate anion and one chloride anion. Both the Cl− anion and chlorochromate Cl atom are involved in hydrogen bonding. In the crystal, hydrogen bonds involving the 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazoniacyclotetradecane (TMC) N—H groups and C—H groups as donor groups and three O atoms of the chlorochromate and the chloride anion as acceptor groups link the components, giving rise to a three-dimensional network.
