The macrocyclic thioether ligand 2,5,8-trithia[9]-o-benzenophane (TT[9]OB) reacts with [Cu(CH3CN)4][ClO4] to yield the Cu(I) complex [Cu(CH3CN)(TT[9]OB)][ClO4]. The coordinated acetonitrile molecule is displaced by the ambidentate, thiocyanate (NCS)− ion to form the neutral complex [Cu(NCS)(TT[9]OB)] which was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The title complex crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 14.447(3) Å, b = 15.034(4) Å, c = 14.851(4) Å, V = 3232.2(14) Å3, and Z = 8. The structure refined to R = 5.15% and Rw = 5.92% for 1149 reflections with Fo2 > 3σ(Fo2). The Cu(I) ion has a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere with TT[9]OB occupying three sites while the fourth site is occupied by the thiocyanate ligand which is N-bound to the metal centre. A comparison is made of the molecular conformations of free TT[9]OB and that found for complexed TT[9]OB in [Cu(NCS)(TT[9]OB)] and [Cu(Ph2PMe)(TT[9]OB)][ClO4]. Key words: thioether, macrocyclic metal complex.

1-Methylthyminato-N3-triphenylphosphinegold(I) was prepared by reacting chloro(triphenylphosphine)gold(I) with 1-methylthymine in aqueous methanol at pH 11. The product was examined by X-ray crystallography and was found to have the orthorhombic space group C2221 (no. 20) with cell dimensions a = 12.760(7) Å, b = 11.530(2) Å, c = 31.893(5) Å, and eight formula units in the unit cell. Data were collected with use of MoKα radiation and a Syntex P21, diffractometer. The crystal structure was determined by standard methods and refined to R = 0.112 and Rw = 0.076 on the basis of 4760 unique reflections. Bond lengths and bond angles are normal. Packing in the crystal lattice is dominated by the triphenylphosphine rings which arrange roughly as blades of a propellor and are the source of the crystal's chirality. The title and related compounds were also examined by 1H nmr, 13C nmr, and vibrational spectroscopy.

X-ray crystallography was used to determine the structure of (−)cis(5R,6S)-5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine, a γ-radiation induced product of thymidine. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P212121 and have cell dimensions a = 8.420(1) Å, b = 10.422(1) Å, and 13.552(1) Å. The half-chair pucker of the 5,6-saturated pyrimidine ring is similar to that observed for the isolated base with the cis configuration, and is described by the Cremer–Pople parameters Q = 0.48 Å, θ = 62°, and [Formula: see text]. The conformation about the N-glycosyl bond is anti; the χ angle (−111.6(5)°) lies at one extreme of the range previously seen for nucleosides (−180 to −115°). The pucker 2T1 of the sugar (P = 151.2°; τm = 36.5°) contrasts with the O4′-endo type of pucker seen in 5,6-dihydrothymidine (0T4) and (5S)-5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine (0T1). The conformation about the C4′—C5′ bond is gauche+. The solid state structure is similar to that determined in aqueous solution by 1H nmr.

In a systematic search for supramolecular complexes involving all combinations of the cyclic polyethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C 5), 18-crown-6 (18C 6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB -18C6), and the geminal di- or trisulfones H2C(SO 2Me)2, H2C (SO2Et)2 and HC (SO2Me)3-n (SO2Et)n (n = 0 -3 ) , only the following four complexes could be isolated and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy: [(12C4){H2C (SO2Et)2}2] (3), [(18C6){H2C (S O2Me)2}] (4), [(DB -18C 6){H2C (SO2Et)2}] (5) and [(D B -18C 6)2{HC (SO2Me )(SO2Et)2}3] (6). The structure of 3 (triclinic, space group P1̄) consists of crystallographically centrosymmetric formula units, in which the disulfone molecules are bonded on each side of the ring by two C -H ··· O(crown) interactions originating from the central methylene group (H···O 213 pm) and from the methylene group of one EtSO2 moiety ( H ··· O 237 pm). Formula units related by translation are connected into parallel strands by a third type of reciprocal C -H ···O bond (H ···O 232 pm) between the second H atom of the central methylene group and a sulfonyl oxygen atom of the adjacent unit. The structure of 4 (monoclinic, space group C2/c) showed severe disorder of the crown ether and could not be refined satisfactorily. Compounds 5 and 6 crystallized as long and extremely thin fibres, indicative of linear-polymeric supramolecular structures; single crystals for X-ray crystallography were not available.

AbstractTreatment of [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with one equivalent of chlorodiphenylphosphine in tetrahydrofuran at reflux afforded a neutral complex [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2(κ1-P-PPh2OH)] (1). Similarly, the reaction of [Ru(bpy)2Cl2·2H2O] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and chlorodiphenylphosphine in methanol gave a cationic complex [Ru(bpy)2Cl(κ1-P-PPh2OCH3)](PF6) (2), while treatment of [RuCl2(PPh3)3] with [2-(C5H4N)CH=N(CH2)2N(CH3)2] (L1) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature afforded a ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(PPh3)Cl2(κ3-N,N,N-L1)] (3). Interaction of the chloro-bridged complex [Ru(CO)2Cl2]n with one equivalent of [Ph2P(o-C6H4)CH=N(CH2)2N(CH3)2] (L2) led to the isolation of [Ru(CO)Cl2(κ3-P,N,N-L2)] (4). The molecular structures of the ruthenium(II) complexes 1–4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The properties of the ruthenium(II) complex 4 as a hydrogenation catalyst for acetophenone were also tested.

The products of a Pictet–Spengler condensation of tryptamine and of histamine with 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose have been studied by X-ray crystallography to establish their absolute configuration. 1(S)-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (1), C16H20N20O4, is monoclinic, P21 (No. 4), with cell dimensions a = 13.091(4), b = 5.365(1), c = 11.323(3) Å, β = 115.78(2)°, and Z = 2. 4-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-c]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyridine (3), C11H17N3O4, is orthorhombic, P212121 (No. 19), with cell dimensions a = 8.118(2), b = 13.715(4), c = 10.963(3) Å, and Z = 4. The structures were determined by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.0514, R2 = 0.0642 for 3210 reflections in the case of 1, and to R1 = 0.0312, R2 = 0.0335 for 1569 reflections in the case of 3. Bond lengths and angles within both molecules are normal and agree well with those observed in related structures. In 3 the base and sugar adopt a syn arrangement, which is maintained by an internal hydrogen bond between O(2′) and N(3). The sugar adopts a normal 2T3 twist conformation. The sugar has the opposite anti arrangement in the β-carboline 1 and the conformation of the sugar is unusual; it is close to an envelope conformation with O(4′) being the atom out of the plane. This conformation is caused by a strong intermolecular hydrogen bond from O(5′) in a symmetry-related molecule to O(4′). Both compounds are held together in the crystal by extensive hydrogen-bonding networks. The conformations of the compounds in solution have been investigated by 1H nmr spectroscopy, and the results obtained were compared with those obtained by X-ray crystallography for 1 and 3.

The new organotin compound, Ph2Sn(Cl)[S(C7H3N2O2S)]·[(C7H3N2O2S)OEt], assembled by an intermolecular aromatic benzothiazole–benzothiazole π-π stacking interaction, has been synthesized by the reaction of diphenyltin dichloride with 2-mercapto-6-nitrobenzothiazole. The title compound was characterized by elemental, IR, 1H NMR, and X-ray crystallography analyses. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data reveals that the title compound has two different molecular components. The component Ph2Sn(Cl)[S(C7H3N2O2S)] has a pentacoordinate tin, which further forms an infinite one-dimensional chain by intermolecular non-bonded Cl···S interactions, resulting in an intercalation lattice that holds (C7H3N2O2S)OEt molecules. The formation of the molecule (C7H3N2O2S)OEt as well as its intercalated mechanism has also been discussed.Key words: organotin, assemble, π-π stacking interaction, 2-mercapto-6-nitrobenzothiazole, non-bonded interaction, crystal structure.

1,1,3,3-Tetracyanopropane, 1, was prepared in low yields by a literature method with 2,2,4,4,6-pentacyanocyclohexenamine, 2, as a major by-product. The products were examined by X-ray crystallography. 1 has an orthorhombic space group, Pbcn (No. 60) with cell dimensions, a = 7.158(2), b = 10.510(3), c = 9.733(2) Å and has four formula units in the unit cell. 2 has a monoclinic cell, P21/c (No. 14) with cell dimensions a = 14.368(3), b = 6.626(1), c = 12.300(2) Å, β = 115.60(1)° and has 4 formula units in the unit cell. Data were collected with use of MoKα radiation and a Nicolet P3 diffractometer. The crystal structures were determined by standard methods and refined to Rw = 0.037 (1) and Rw = 0.040 (2) on the basis of 782 and 2108 unique reflections. Bond lengths and angles in the two compounds are normal. 2 has what has been considered to be the less likely tautomeric structure. Both compounds were examined by 1H, 13C nmr, vibrational spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. For 2 there was no evidence of the alternative tautomeric structure. New methods were developed for the preparation of both compounds and the mechanism of the original reaction rationalized.

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.

Two new ZnII(phen)2 complexes with trichloroacetate and acetate anions, [Zn(phen)2(CCl3COO)- (H2O)](ClO4) and [Zn(phen)2(CH3COO)](ClO4), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy. The single crystal X-ray data of these compounds show the Zn atoms to have six-coordinate geometry. From IR spectra and X-ray crystallography it is established that the coordination of the COO− group is different for trichloroacetate and acetate. The former acts as a monodentate whereas the latter acts as a bidentate ligand.
