The reactions of a series of arene diazonium salts with 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) afford the novel compounds, the 1,4,8,11-tetra[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecanes (1a–1f), which are the first examples of tetrakistriazenes to be reported. The tetrakistriazenes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, proton and carbon NMR, elemental analysis, high resolution electrospray mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. The analogous reaction of a diazonium salt with 1,4,7-triazacyclononane or 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane yields the tristriazenes 2, 3a, and 3b. The structures of compounds 1c and 1e were solved by X-ray crystallography at low temperature (150 K). Both molecules display a conformation where the four phenyltriazenyl groups point alternately upwards and downwards with respect to the mean macrocyclic plane.Key words: triazene, tetrakistriazene, cyclam, tetraazacyclotetradecane, X-ray, NMR, cyclic polyamines.

A new series of bistriazenes, the 1-aryl-2-[3-(3-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1,3-diazepan-1-ylmethyl)-1,3-diazepan-1-yl]-1-diazenes (8), has been synthesized from the reaction of diazonium salts with a mixture of 1,4-diaminobutane and formaldehyde. All new compounds of series 8 have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and the elemental composition of selected examples has been verified by elemental analysis. The connectivity of the series has been unequivocally determined by X-ray crystallography. The new bistriazenes are important because the structure contains the novel saturated heterocycle, 1,3-diazepane. The general conclusion of this study is that alkanediamines with three or four carbon atoms in the spacer link between the nitrogen atoms give rise to the linear bicyclic molecules of type 2, in contrast to the case of ethylenediamine (two carbon atoms in spacer link), which affords molecules of type 3, which exemplify the cage structure of type 1.Key words: diazonium salt, triazene, bistriazene, diazepane, formaldehyde, nuclear magnetic resonance.

Methanol- and temperature-induced dissolution–recrystallization structural transformation (DRST) was observed among two novel CuII complexes. This is first time that the combination of X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry and density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations has been used to describe the fragmentation and recombination of a mononuclear CuII complex at 60 °C in methanol to obtain a binuclear copper(II) complex. Combining time-dependent high-resolution electrospray mass spectrometry, we propose a possible mechanism for the conversion of bis(8-methoxyquinoline-κ2 N,O)bis(thiocyanato-κN)copper(II), [Cu(NCS)2(C10H9NO)2], Cu1, to di-μ-methanolato-κ4 O:O-bis[(8-methoxyquinoline-κ2 N,O)(thiocyanato-κN)copper(II)], [Cu2(CH3O)2(NCS)2(C10H9NO)2], Cu2, viz. [Cu(SCN)2(L)2] (Cu1) → [Cu(L)2] → [Cu(L)]/L → [Cu2(CH3O)2(NCS)2(L)2] (Cu2). We screened the antitumour activities of L (8-methoxyquinoline), Cu1 and Cu2 and found that the antiproliferative effect of Cu2 on some tumour cells was much greater than that of L and Cu1.

The reaction of dialkylzinc compounds R2Zn (R = Me, Et) with N,N-dimethylhydrazine and trimethylsilanol in a 4 : 2 : 2 ratio leads to the formation of tetra(alkylzinc) tris-siloxide monohydrazide aggregates, [(RZn)4(NHNMe2)(OSiMe3)3] [R = Me (1) and Et (2)]. These compounds are aggregates of mirror symmetry, containing the novel Zn4N2O3 core. Both compounds have been characterised by 1H, 13C and 29Si NMR and IR spectroscopy, by mass spectrometry and by elemental analysis, and 2 also by X-ray crystallography. The structure can be derived from a heterocubane, in which one anionic vertex is replaced by an NHNMe2 group contributing two N atoms to the core constitution. By applying a ratio of hydrazine : silanol of 2 : 1 in a reaction with R2Zn (R = Me, Et, iPr), compounds of the general formula [(RZn)4(NHNMe2)2(OSiMe3)2] [R = Me (3), Et (4), iPr (5)] are obtained. These aggregates contain a Zn4N4O2 core. Upon employing a hydrazine : silanol ratio of 5 : 1 in a reaction with diisopropyl zinc, the compound [(iPrZn)4(NHNMe2)3(OSiMe3)] results, containing a Zn4N6O unit. Compounds 3 - 6 have been characterised by 1H, 13C and 29Si NMR and IR spectroscopy, by mass spectrometry and by elemental analysis. The topologic relationship between the pure hydrazides [(RZn)4(NHNMe2)4], the mixed aggregates [(RZn)4(NHNMe2)3(OR’)], [(RZn)4(NHNMe2)2(OR’)2] and [(RZn)4(NHNMe2)3(OR’)3] and the pure alkoxides [(RZn)4(OR’)4] is discussed.

(2).The reaction of alkyldithiocarbazates NH2NHC(S)SR′ with MoO2(S2CNR2)2 R, R′ = Me, Et) yields the diazenido hydrazido complexes Mo(NNC(S)SR′)(NH2NC(S)SR′)(S2CNR2)2 (1), reaction with the molybdenum hydroxylamidate complex MoO2(ONMe2)2 gives the diazenidobis( hydrazido) complex Mo(NNC(S)SMe)(NH2NC(S)SMe)2(Me2NO)-CH3OH The crystal structures of 1 a (R = Me, R′ = Et) and 2 have been determined. The metal atoms in 1 a and 2 are seven coordinated and have MoN2S5 and MoN3O2S2 ligand arrays, respectively. Both compounds contain the approximately linear diazenido ligand NNC(S)SR in addition to one (1a) or two (2) N,S-chelating hydrazido(1-) ligands NH2NC(S)SR. When 1a is treated with HCl, the dimeric complex (Me2NCS2)(O)Mo(μ-NNC(S)SEt)2 Mo(S2CNMe2) (4) is obtained. X-ray crystallography showed 4 to be an asymmetric dinuclear complex, with a Mo-Mo distance of 267.2(1) pm. One Mo site has a square pyramidal MoOS2N2 geometry, while the other one has an approximately trigonal prismatic MoN2S4 geometry. The mean N-N distance in 4 is 135(1) pm. The reaction of NH2NHC(S)SMe with MoO2(acac)2 yields Mo(Me2CNNC(S)SMe)(NNC(S)SMe)(MeSC(S)NNC(S)SMe) (3). Its structure has been determined by X-ray crystallography. 3 contains a unique combination of three different N- and S-chelating ligands: the Schiff base Me2C=NNC(S)SMe, the highly bent bidentate diazenido ligand NNC(S)SMe (∡ Mo-N-N = 142.1(5)°), and the novel planar tridentate ligand MeSC(S)NNC(S)SMe. The latter can be taken as neutral diacyldiazene or, more likely, as the dianion of the as yet unknown MeSC(S)NH -NHC(S)SMe. The N - N distance in this ligand is 136.1(9) pm.

Proteolytic digestion of the immunoglobulin IgG with papain cleaves the molecule into an antigen binding fragment, Fab, and a compliment binding fragment, Fc. Structures of intact immunoglobulin, Fab and Fc from various sources have been solved by X-ray crystallography. Rabbit Fc can be crystallized as thin platelets suitable for high resolution electron microscopy. The structure of rabbit Fc can be expected to be similar to the known structure of human Fc, making it an ideal specimen for comparing the X-ray and electron crystallographic techniques and for the application of the molecular replacement technique to electron crystallography. Thin protein crystals embedded in ice diffract to high resolution. A low resolution image of a frozen, hydrated crystal can be expected to have a better contrast than a glucose embedded crystal due to the larger density difference between protein and ice compared to protein and glucose. For these reasons we are using an ice embedding technique to prepare the rabbit Fc crystals for molecular structure analysis by electron microscopy.

( E)-4-[2-(Pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzaldehyde, containing both a 4-vinylpyridine and an aldehyde functionality, is utilized to develop new, highly conjugated chalcone compounds and a bis-Schiff base azine compound. The chalcone-containing compounds are further explored for their protonation, methylation and silver(I) coordination chemistry using the pyridine moiety. In parallel, a cyano-containing analogue, ( E)-4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzonitrile is also synthesized and studied for its silver(I) coordination chemistry. These new compounds are fully characterized by mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The methylated product of ( E)-1-(9-anthryl)-3-{4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]phenyl}prop-2-en-1-one and a silver complex of ( E)-4-[2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl]benzonitrile are structurally determined by X-ray crystallography.
