meso-Phenyldipyrromethanes can be oxidized by 2,6-dicyano-3,5-dichloro-para-benzoquinone (DDQ) to the corresponding meso-phenyldipyrrins. As expected, these novel, stable bipyrrolic pigments readily form metal chelates with copper(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II). Their UV–VIS spectra are compared with a series of known alkyl-substituted dipyrrin chelates and, based on the UV–VIS spectral analysis, the dihedral angle between the two ligands in the bis[meso-phenyldipyrrinato]Ni(II) complex was calculated to be 42°. The molecular structure of this complex was determined by X-ray crystallography, essentially confirming the calculation. Crystals of C30H22N4Ni are orthorhombic, a = 17.156(3), b = 35.217(1), c = 7.886(1) Å, Z = 8, space group Fddd. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.031 for 1058 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2). The central nickel is coordinated in a distorted square-planar fashion by four nitrogens. The pair of the planar dipyrrinato ligands enclose a dihedral angle of 38.5°. This is the lowest angle reported for nickel(II) complexes of this kind. As a result of this, and in sharp contrast to previously described nickel(II) dipyrrin chelates, the central metal is diamagnetic. Key words: meso-phenyldipyrromethanes, meso-phenyldipyrrins, meso-phenyldipyrrinato transition metal chelates, X-ray crystallography.

The homodinuclear [M2L2μ(CN)](ClO4) complexes and the heterodinuclear [LPd-CN-NiL](ClO4) and [LNi-CN-PdL](ClO4) complexes of nickel(II) and palladium(II) have been synthesized with a tridentate ligand HL (methyl 2-[(2′-aminoethyl)amino]cyclopent-1-enedithiocarboxylate). In solution both the isomers dissociate, [LNi-CN-PdL]+ much more rapidly than [LPd-CN-NiL]+, and a steady state equilibrium between the [LPd-CN-NiL]+, [Pd2L2μ-(CN)]+, and [Ni2L2μ-(CN)]+ species is established. The isomer [LPd-CN-NiL]+ exhibits a band at 555 nm that is absent in the other isomer and homodinuclear complexes. The X-ray structure of [LPd-CN-NiL](ClO4) has been studied. Crystals of the compound are monoclinic, a = 8.964(2), b = 23.852(2), c = 14.096(2) Å, β = 105.92(1)°, Z = 4, space group P21/a. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.054 and Rw = 0.034 for 4426 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I). The two metal centres are in a square-planar environment provided by the N2S donor set of the ligand and cyanide bridge, but the metal atoms as well as C and N atoms of μ-CN could not be distinguished due to disorder. An alternate stacking of Pd-CN-Ni and Ni-NC-Pd units has been proposed to explain the 1:1 occupancy of the atoms concerned.

Two Pd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with an anthracene-based thiosemicarbazone (H-5cATSC) have been conveniently prepared. Reaction of the ligand with relevant metal precusors yields the complexes Pd-5cATSC and Zn-5cATSC which have been then structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The results reveals that the complexes are of mononuclear structure and adopts square-planar and tetrahedral geometries around the central metal ions.

Reaction of tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone 1 with aqueous sodium hydroxide resulted in a Cannizzaro-type disproportionation into tetrachloromuconic acid and tetrachlorocatechol. The tetrachloromuconic acid was isolated and identified by X-ray crystallography as the methyl ester of the cyclized lactone 3. Crystals of C7H3Cl3O4, 4, are orthorhombic, a = 9.991 (2), b = 7.981 (1), c = 24.626(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Pna21. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.033 for 1609 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I).

The reaction of tetrasulphur dinitride with norbornadiene produces the 1:1 adduct S4N2•C7H8; X-ray crystallographic analysis of this compound reveals that olefin addition cleaves one of the sulphur–sulphur bonds of S4N2, yielding a novel eight-membered C2S4N2 ring. Crystals of S4N2•C7H8 are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 6.127(1), b = 17.369(1), c = 9.580(1) Å, β = 106.74(1)°, V = 1003.8(5) Å3Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.039. The S—S—N—S—N—S fragment of the C2S4N2 ring is planar to within 0.15 Å. The S—C—C—S unit is folded out of this plane to produce a dihedral angle of 74.5°.

The reaction of norbornadiene with (triphenylphosphoranediyl)aminocyclotrithiatriazene produces the cycloadduct Ph3PN—S3N3•C7H8. The crystal and molecular structure of this compound has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of Ph3PN—S3N3•C7H8 are monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 9.757(1), b = 15.114(1), c = 16.535(2) Å, β = 100.73(1)°, V = 2395.7(9) Å3, and Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by Fourier and full-matrix least-squares procedures to give a final R of 0.040 and Rw of 0.058 for 2620 observed reflections. The structure reveals that the S3N3 ring adds to norbornadiene in an exo fashion via two sulphur atoms. The S3N3 ring adopts a chair conformation with the three ligands occupying axial positions on the same side of the ring. The relative rates of this and other cycloadditions involving SN substrates and olefins are discussed in terms of the energies of the interacting frontier orbitals. The results suggest that HOMO(olefin)–LUMO(SN substrate) interactions control the kinetics of these reactions.

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 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.
