A variety of 3,3-disubstituted pent-4-enals (5a, R = Me, R′ = Et; 5b, R = Me, R′ = Ph; 5c, R = Et, R′ = Ph) has been prepared by the Raney nickel desulfurization of the corresponding 3,3-disubstituted 2,2-(trimethylenedithio)pent-4-enal precursors 4a–4c. The precursor compounds were prepared by the alkylation of 2-formyl-1,3-dithiane with the appropriate 3,3-disubstituted allylic bromide. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and nmr spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The crystal and molecular structure of (R)-4c has also been determined by X-ray crystallography. At temperatures of ca. 130 °C, compounds 4a–4c undergo intramolecular rearrangement to form the tri-substituted alkenes 6a–6c, which have also been characterized by the present study.

AbstractSynthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes with the formula [ZnLn(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)x(MeOH)1-x]NO3 · n H2O · n MeOH [Ln = Pr (1), Nd (2)] and the crystal and molecular structure of [ZnNd(HL)(µ-OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)] [ZnNd(HL)(OAc)(NO3)2(H2O)](NO3)2 · n H2O · n MeOH (3) are reported. The asymmetrical compartmental ligand (E)-2-(1-(2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)-ethyl)imidazolidin-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol (H2L) is formed from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation, resulting in a peripheral imidazoline ring. The structures of 1–3 were revealed by X-ray crystallography. The smaller ZnII ion occupies the inner N2O2 compartment of the ligand, whereas the larger and more oxophilic LnIII ions are found in the outer O2O2’ site. Graphic Abstract Synthesis and structural characterization of two heterodinuclear ZnII-LnIII complexes (Ln = Pr, Nd) bearing an asymmetrical compartmental ligand formed in situ from N1,N3-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine (H2valdien) through intramolecular aminal formation are reported.

The synthesis and characterization of three monomeric aluminum porphycenes with anionic or σ-bonded axial ligands is reported. The investigated compounds are represented as ( EtioPc ) Al ( CH 3) and ( EtioPc ) AlX where EtioPc represents the dianion of etioporphycene and X = Cl − or OH −. Each synthesized complex was characterized by mass spectrometry. 1 H NMR, IR and UV-visible spectroscopies as well as by electrochemistry. Comparisons are made between the properties of complexes in the aluminum etioporphycene series and related chloro- or methyl σ-bonded Al ( III ) porphyrins containing octaethylporphyrin ( OEP ) or tetraphenylporphyrin ( TPP ) macrocycles. Comparisons are also made between the currently investigated compounds and a previously reported Al ( III ) μ-oxo dimer, [( EtioPc ) Al ]2 O . In addition, the crystal and molecular structure of ( EtioPc ) Al ( CH 3) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The molecular structure of this methyl-σ-bonded aluminum etioporphycene provides the first structural data for an aluminum porphycene compound. The aluminum(III) atom in ( EtioPc ) Al ( CH 3) is pentacoordinated and is located 0.54 Å from the plane of the four N -nitrogens.

The crystal and molecular structure of the tetrameric complex of the composition [SbCl3·OP(NCS)3]4 synthesized from SbCl3 and OP(NCS)3 in CCl4 waso determined by X-ray crystallography [143 m space group, cubic system with a = 13.927(4) Å]. The complex exhibits a tetranuclear "cage" structure with a [Sb4O4] core which consists of μ3-bridging oxygen and six coordinate antimony(III) atoms; the Sb-O distance, 3.060 Å, is exceptionally long.

Ammonium acesulfamate, (NH4)C4H4NO4S, was prepared by the reaction of acesulfamic acid and ammonium carbonate in aqueous solution, and characterized by elemental analysis and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Its crystal and molecular structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The substance crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with Z = 4 molecules per unit cell. The NH4+ ion generates medium to strong hydrogen bonds with the carbonylic oxygen, the iminic nitrogen and the sulfonyl oxygen atoms of the acesulfamate anion. The FTIR spectrum of the compound was also recorded and is briefly discussed.

A synthetic route to the production of the pure enantiomers of the ecstasy-analogue N-Ethyl- 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDE) and its major metabolites MDA and HME is presented. The crystal and molecular structure of these compounds has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The hydrogen bonding in the crystal lattice is examined and significant differences were found by comparing (R)- and (S)-MDA-HCl.

Two new compounds that consist of the linear trinuclear manganese(II) cation [Mn3(O2CMe)4(py)8]2+cocrystallizing with different counteranions (I3-, [1]; ClO4-, [2]) are reported. Complex1was prepared from the reaction of [Mn(O2CMe)2]⋅4H2O withI2in MeCO2H/py, whereas complex2was isolated from the reaction of [Mn3O(O2CMe)6(py)3]⋅py with [Mn(ClO4)2]⋅6H2O in MeCN/py. The crystal structures of both compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Magnetic susceptibility studies that were performed in microcrystalline powder of1in the 2–300 K range revealed the presence of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions that resulted in anS=5/2ground spin state.
