The crystal structure of the acetylated levoglucosan (1,6-anhydro-2,3,4-triacetylglucose) was determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal data are: P212121, a = 10.916, b = 8.318, c = 15.612 Å. It was found that the pyranose ring of the molecule has the 1C(D) chair conformation with the acetate groups occupying the axial positions. The orientation of the acetate groups with respect to the pyranose ring was discussed in conjunction with other acetylated carbohydrate structures.

Air-sensitive selenourea inclusion complexes tetraethylammonium chloride–selenourea (1/2), (C2H5)4N+.C1−.2[(NH2)2CSe] (1), tetra-n-propyl-ammonium chloride–selenourea (1/3), (n-C3H7)4N+.C1−.3[(NH2)2CSe] (2), tetra-n-propylammonium bromide–selenourea (1/3), (n-C3H7)4N+.Br−.3[(NH2)2CSe] (3), and tetra-n-propylammonium iodide–selenourea (1/1), (n-C3H7)4N+.I−.(NH2)2CSe (4), have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. 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.

The coupling reaction between PhMeSiCl2 and Me2SiCl2 in the presence of Na/K alloy resulted in a variety of phenylated permethylcyclohexasilanes of which only trans-1,4-Ph2Me10Si6 could be obtained in pure form by repeated recrystallizations. It was studied by means of nmr (1H, 13C, and 29Si) and X-ray crystallography. The crystals are monoclinic, P21/c with a = 10.105(6), b = 14.77(1), c = 9.973(6) Å, β = 94.08(5)°, V = 1485(2) Å3, and Z = 2 for 1922 unique "observed" reflections and the structure refined to an R index of 0.036. The molecule has site symmetry [Formula: see text] and the chair conformation of cyclohexane, with the two phenyl rings occupying the equatorial positions.

The crystal structure of β-D-acetyl cellobiose was studied by X-ray crystallography. The crystal data are a = 31.814(4), b = 19.414(5), c = 5.614(1) Å, space group P212121, Z = 4. The structure, solved by direct method, was refined by block-diagonal least-squares to a final R value of 0.075 for 2605 observed reflections. The molecular conformation involves 4C1 pyranose rings with glycosidic torsion angles corresponding to near maximum extension of the molecule. Substantial differences in conformational angles were observed between this molecule and the unacetylated counterpart. The molecules lie along the a-axis of the unit cell.

Abstract The molecular structure of the bridged [1]-titanocenophane 1,1'-dimethylsilylene titanocene dichloride, (CH3)2Si(C5H4)2TiCl2, has been investigated by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 1332.9(3), 6 = 988.7(3), c = 1068.9(3) pm, β = 113.43(2)°. The results are compared with the structural dimensions of similar compounds: 1,1'-methylene titanocene dichloride, CH2(C5H4)TiCl2, with the unbridged titanocene dichloride, (C5H5)2TiCl2 and the ethylene-bridged compound (CH2)2(C5H4)2TiCl2

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.

Abstract The structure of the title compound has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The title compound is synthesized from the elements at 600 °C. Its crystal structure, derived from powder data [3] is refined by single crystal diffractometer data. The structure is trigonal (P3̅ml, α = 684.1(1), c = 724.4(1) pm); Pd2+ cations and PS43- anions form a network with an anti-Claudetite (AS2O3) type structure. The PS4 units are distinctly distorted from ideal tetrahedral symmetry. The Pd atoms have a planar environment of 4 S atoms.

In this paper, (2E,6E)-2,6-Bis(2,3,4-tri-methoxy -benzylidene)cyclohexanone (omitted as tmbcho) (1) was obtained by the reaction of acetic acid, tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone and 2,3,4-tri-methoxy-benzaldehyde. Three non-classic hydrogen bonds were observed in the compound. X-ray crystallography shows that the crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C-H•••π interactions and it contains plenty of conjugated double bonds. The title compound was characterized by UV-vis and fluorescent spectral studies.

Reaction of a series of diazonium salts with a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane affords the 3-({5,5-dimethyl-3-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]-1-imidazolidinyl}methyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1-[2-aryl-1-diazenyl]imidazolidines (1a–1f) in excellent yield. The products have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopic analysis, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray crystal structure of the p-methoxycarbonyl derivative (1c) establishes without question the connectivity of these novel molecules, which can be described as linear bicyclic oligomers with two imidazolidinyl groups linked together by a one-carbon spacer. This is indeed a rare molecular building block. The molecular structure is corroborated by 1H and 13C NMR data, which correlates with the previously published data of compounds of types 5 and 6 derived from 1,3-propanediamine. The triazene moieties in the crystal of 1c display significant π conjugation, which gives the N—N bond a significant degree of double-bond character. This in turn causes restricted rotation around the N—N bond, which leads to considerable broadening of signals in both the 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The molecular ion of the p-cyanophenyl derivative (1b) was observed using electrospray mass spectrometry (ES + Na). The mechanism of formation of molecules of type 1 is proposed to involve diazonium ion trapping of the previously unreported bisimidazolidinyl methane (13).Key words: triazene, bistriazene, imidazolidine, synthesis, X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy.

The synthesis and characterization of a new series of mono-, di-, and trinuclear Cr(II) borohydride compounds is described. The reaction of CrCl2(TMEDA) with two equivalents of NaBH4 afforded the thermally unstable (TMEDA)Cr(BH4)2 (1), which was converted by treatment with pyridine into the octahedral monomeric (Py)4Cr(BH4)2 (2). The reaction proceeds via formation of an intermediate trinuclear complex {[(TMEDA)(Py)Cr(η2-BH4)]2[(Py)2Cr(η2-BH4)2]}(µ,η1-BH4)2 (3), which was isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Reaction of 1 and 2 with both CO2 and RN=C=NR (R = Cy, iPr) afforded hydride insertion and formation of the corresponding diamagnetic lantern-type Cr(II) formate (HCO2)4Cr2Py2 (4) and formamidinate compounds [RNC(H)NR]2Cr2(µ-BH)4 (R = Cy (5a), iPr (5b)), respectively, with supershort Cr—Cr quadruple bonds. The structures of 1, 2, 3, and 5b were elucidated by X-ray analysis. Crystal data are as follows. 1: C6H24N2B2Cr, monoclinic, Cc, a = 8.517(2) Å, b = 15.921(5) Å, c = 9.624(2) Å, β = 115.59(1)°, Z = 4, R = 0.022, Rw = 0.029; 2: C28H44N4B2O2Cr, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 12.021(1) Å, b = 15.555(1) Å, c = 15.723(1) Å, β = 90.13(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.074, Rw = 0.086; 3: C32H76N8B6Cr3, monoclinic, P21/n, a = 8.515(1) Å, b = 14.525(1) Å, c = 18.286(2) Å, β = 91.38(1)°, Z = 2, R = 0.051, Rw = 0.060; 5b: C21H49N6BCr2, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 17.000(1) Å, b = 9.033(1) Å, c = 19.160(1) Å, β = 105.579(9)°, Z = 4, R = 0.069, Rw = 0.078.

The coordination chemistry of N-(2,6-di-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldimine (1) with Cu(II) has been investigated by X-ray crystallography, electronic and EPR spectroscopies, as well as by electro- and magnetochemistry. The title complex 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 8.1538, b = 17.7466, c =19.8507 Å). The mononuclear square-planar molecules 2 featuring trans-N2O2 coordination are connected via weak intermolecular C-H· · ·π interactions into infinite chains parallel to the a axis. Although the intermolecular Cu· · ·Cu separations within individual chains and between chains are very long (8.154 and 9.726 Å ), the exchange interaction parameter G = 2.03 < 4, estimated from solid state EPR spectra, suggests the existence of long-distance superexchange pathways between adjacent Cu(II) centers. The electronic and electrochemical features of the compound are also discussed.
