In an effort to advance our understanding of the principles governing the structures of and the hydrogen bonding in alkylammonium hexachlorostannates(IV), (RnNH4−n)2SnCl6, we have determined the room-temperature crystal structures of (Me2NH2)2SnCl6 and (Me3NH)2SnCl6 (variants of the antifluorite structure); (EtNH3)2SnCl6 and (n-PrNH3)2SnCl6 (anti-Cdl2 type, with orientational disorder in the Et compound); and (n-Pr3NH)2SnCl6. We have also studied the infrared spectra in the regions of the NH and ND stretching fundamentals, between 10 and 293 K, of these five compounds and of (MeNH3)2SnCl6, (Me3NH)2SnBr6, (Et2NH2)2SnCl6, (n-Bu3NH)2SnCl6 and, in less detail, the mixed-anion salt (n-Pr2NH2)3(SnCl6)Cl. The spectra are often complicated by Ferim resonance involving absorptions diagnostically critical for the strength and type of [Formula: see text] bonding and for the site symmetry at the N atom. In this respect they are less useful than the corresponding spectra of the unsubstituted ammonium compounds reported previously. Several of the spectra provide striking examples of temperature-tuned Fermi resonance of NH and ND vibrations. The [Formula: see text] bonds are invariably trifurcated, bifurcated, or at least highly bent; these characteristics give rise to anomalous temperature dependence of the frequencies of the NH and ND stretching fundamentals. Temperature-induced transitions were detected in (Me2NH2)2SnCl6 (Ttr ~ 100 K), Et NH3)2SnCl6 (Ttr ~ 125 K), and (Et2NH2)2SnCl6 (Ttr ~ 330 K). The specific results for the ten compounds studied arc discussed in detail. The discussion also includes the limits of usefulness of the isotopisc dilution technique; symmetry aspects of the cation–anion packing in alkylammonium hexahalometallates(IV); symmetries of the arrangements of the SnCl6 octahedra; the geometry of hydrogen bonding in (RnNH4−n)2SnCl6; and the possibility of detection of the presence of hydrogen bonding from molecular volume trends.

A crystal structure determination has shown that the ethyl groups in the three isostructural (P63mc, Z = 2) triethylammonium halides, Et3NHX (X = Cl, Br, I), at room temperature are orientationally disordered and the [Formula: see text] groups are linear by symmetry. The unusual extent and complexity of the NH and ND stretching absorptions in the ir spectra of all three compounds between 10 and 293 K are discussed in terms of Fermi resonance interactions. The centroid ν(NH) and ν(ND) frequencies extracted from the spectra correlate with the [Formula: see text] distances. It is shown that if Fermi resonance is the sole cause of the complexity of the stretching absorptions, then these centroids represent the ν(NH) and ν(ND) frequencies unperturbed by Fermi resonance. The centroid frequencies in the three halides are unusually low, pointing to strong [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonding.

The crystal structure of (Et3NH)2SnCl6 at room temperature consists of a monoclinically distorted antifluorite packing of Et3NH+ and SnCl62− ions. Each anion has two cations centrosymmetrically associated with it through bifurcated hydrogen bonds to four of the Cl atoms, leaving two of the six chlorines unengaged. The bifurcation is nearly symmetric and the [Formula: see text] group is nearly planar. Infrared spectra of undeuterated and partially deuterated polycrystalline (Et3NH)2SnCl6 show that the NH stretching vibration is essentially uncoupled while the corresponding ND vibration undergoes a complex Fermi resonance resulting in a multiplet in the spectrum of even weakly deuterated material. The hydrogen bonding in (Et3NH)2SnCl6 is stronger than in the corresponding ammonium compound. A negative temperature coefficient of the NH and ND stretching frequencies is consistent with the bifurcation of the hydrogen bond. If a low-temperature transition exists, it was not evident in the NH and ND stretching absorptions.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

The title compound bis(1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) di-μ-chlorido-bis[tetrachloridobismuthate(III)] dihydrate, (C6H14N2)2[Bi2Cl10]·2H2O, was obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of a hydrochloric aqueous solution (pH = 1) containing bismuth(III) nitrate and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in a 1:2 molar ratio. The structure displays a two-dimensional arrangement parallel to (100) of isolated [Bi2Cl10]4−bioctahedra (site symmetry -1) separated by layers of organic 1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dications [(DABCOH2)2+] and water molecules. O—H...Cl, N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds lead to additional cohesion of the structure.

The title compound, C16H14FNO3, was synthesized via solid phase methods; it exhibits monoclinic (P21) symmetry at room temperature. The two independent molecules that comprise the asymmetric unit display distinct torsion angles of 173.2 (2) and 72.6 (2)° along the central sp 3 C—N bond. In the crystal, hydrogen bonding through N—H...O contacts couples the asymmetric unit molecules into pairs that align in layers extending parallel to (100) via additional O—H...O interactions. The phenyl ring of one independent molecule was found to be disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.55 (3):0.45 (3) ratio.
