The crystal structure of 3,4,7,8-tetramethylglycoluril (5) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The structure reveals a hydrogen-bonding motif in the crystal lattice that differs from that present in related glycolurils. The two sides of each molecule form part of two independent, but parallel, infinite helical chains. These chains are formed by the NH donor and C==O acceptor on one side of a glycoluril molecule, forming H-bonds to two different molecules at adjacent positions within the helix. On the other side of the same molecule, a similar motif generates another helix of opposite helicity to the first. The molecule has a crystallographic plane of symmetry through the two bridgehead carbon atoms and the two bridgehead methyl groups, which are syn-periplanar. Thus, 5 is similar to 3,4-dimethylglycoluril (3), but differs from some glycolurils, where there is a significant dihedral angle between the two bridgehead-to-bridgehead substituent bonds. Bond lengths and angles in 5 resemble those reported for 3, but bond lengths around the bridgehead positions are slightly lengthened relative to 3.Key words: glycoluril, 1,2,5,8-tetramethyl-2,6,7,8-tetraazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-3,7-dione, X-ray diffraction, crystal structure, hydrogen-bond array.

[HC(NH2)2]3FeCl6 was obtained together with other products from the reaction of S4N4 with HCl in H2CCl2 in the presence of FeCl3. Its crystal structure was determined from X-ray diffraction data (473 independent observed reflexions, R = 0.047). Lattice constants: a = 961.6, c = 876.4 pm; tetragonal, space group P42/m, Z = 2. Of the two crystallographically independent formamidinium ions HC(NH2)2⊕, one exhibits positional disorder; the other one has C-N bond lengths of 128 pm. The FeCl63⊖ ions have symmetry C2h, but the deviation from Oh is small.

During the synthesis of an FeBr2complex with the PNP ligand (R,R,SFc,SFc)-[Fe2(C5H5)2(C38H35NP2)] (1), single crystals of the dichloromethane monosolvate of the Br−salt of the protonated ligand1H+were obtained serendipitously,i.e.[Fe2(C5H5)2(C38H36NP2)]Br·CH2Cl2. The crystal structure of1H·Br·CH2Cl2was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mean bond lengths in the ferrocene units are Fe—C = 2.049 (3) Å and C—C = 1.422 (4) Å within the cyclopentadienyl rings. The mean C—N bond length is 1.523 (4) Å. The interplanar angle between the two connected cyclopentadienyl rings is 49.2 (2)°. One ferrocene moiety adopts a staggered conformation, whereas the other is between staggered and eclipsed. The Br−ions and the CH2Cl2molecules are located in channels extending along <100>. One ammonium H atom forms a hydrogen bond with the Br−ion [H...Br = 2.32 (4) Å and C—H...Br = 172 (3)°]. The second ammonium H atom is not involved in hydrogen bonding.

In situ high pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements on layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 under pressures up to 35 GPa have been performed by using diamond anvil cell with synchrotron radiation. The results show that the structure of layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 is unstable under pressure due to the easy compression of NaCl-type blocks. The structure of Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 underwent two phase transitions under pressures in the range of 0~35 GPa. One was at about 1.3 GPa with the crystal structure changing from tetragonal to orthorhombic. The other was at about 9.5 GPa with the crystal structure changing from orthorhombic back to another tetragonal.

Isoguanine, an analogue of guanine, is of intrinsic interest as a noncanonical nucleobase. The crystal structure of isoguaninium chloride (systematic name: 6-amino-2-oxo-1H,7H-purin-3-ium chloride), C5H6N5O+·Cl−, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structure analysis was supported by electrostatic interaction energy (E es) calculations based on charge density reconstructed with the UBDB databank. In the structure, two kinds of molecular tapes are observed, one parallel to (010) and the other parallel to (50\overline{4}). The tapes are formed by dimers of isoguaninium cations interacting with chloride anions. E es analysis indicates that cations in one kind of tape are oriented so as to minimize repulsive electrostatic interactions.

Abstract(±)-1-oxoferruginol and (±)-shonanol, two potential intermediates in the synthesis of tricyclic diterpenoid ferruginol, have been prepared and crystal structures of the compounds have been investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The methyl groups of the isopropyl moiety in (±)-shonanol are disordered over two positions with occupation factors 0.65(1) and 0.35(1), respectively. Although the chemical structures of two compounds are very similar, a C—C single bond in the terminal six-membered ring of (±)-1-oxoferruginol is replaced by a C=C bond in (±)-shonanol, the quantitative isostructurality index calculations indicate that the structures are not isostructural. Intermolecular O—H…O hydrogen bonds between pairs of molecules in the compounds related by center of inversion lead to characteristic dimers forming R

Abstract 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenylphosphonic acid (H3L1) and the complex [Cu(H2L1)2(H2O)2] were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The polyhedron of the copper atom is an axially elongated square bipyramid with oxygen atoms of phenolic and of monodeprotonated phosphonic groups at the base and oxygen atoms of water molecules at the vertices. The protonation constants of the H3L1 acid and the stability constants of its Cu2+ complexes in water were determined by potentiometric titration. The protonation constants of the acid in water are significantly influenced by the intramolecular hydrogen bond and the methoxy group. The H3L1 acid forms complexes CuL‒ and CuL24‒ with Cu2+ in water.

The crystal structure of the title compound, Ca(C6H2N307)2,5H2O, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 295(1) K and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.049 for 1513 'observed' reflections. Crystals are orthorhombic, Pmab, a 24.169(6), b l0.292(7), c 8.554(2) �, Z 4. The stereochemistry about the calcium has not been observed previously for the system [M(bidentate)2- (unidentate)4]; in the present structure, the calcium is coordinated by a pair of bidentate picrate ligands and the four water molecules in an array in which three of the water molecules occupy a triangular face of a square antiprism, the overall array having m symmetry. The remaining water molecule occupies a lattice site with no close interaction with the other species.

The synthesis of an analogue of the neuropharmacologically active peptide Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 in which the Leu-Gly peptide bond has been replaced with a tetrazole moiety was carried out. The molecular and crystal structure of the tetrazole analogue Pro-Leuψ[CN4]Gly-NH2 was determined by X-ray diffraction and a comparison was made with the published X-ray structure of Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2. The tetrazole annular system turns out to be a good conformationally-restricted replacement for the cis-peptide bond in terms of bond lengths, bond angles and the ω torsion angle. The molecule was found to be folded at the -Leuψ[CN4]Gly- sequence, but it did not form the intramolecular N-H···O=C hydrogen bond characteristic of the type Vla β-bend conformation. In contrast to Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, Pro-Leuψ[CN4]Gly-NH2 was found to be unable to enhance the binding of dopamine receptor agonists to the dopamine receptor.

Rb[(Zr6C)Cl15] was prepared by heating ZrCl4, Zr powder, RbCl and Al4C3 at 850 °C for 21 days. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (space group Pmma, a = 18.484(3), b = 18.962(2), c = 9.708(1) Å, V = 2505.4(6) Å3, and Z = 4). Rb[(Zr6C)Cl15] crystallises in the Cs[Nb6Cl15]-type structure. It is built up from two interconnected types of cluster chains, one with linear Zr−Cla−a-Zr bridges, the other one with bent bridges. The rubidium cations are spread over three different sites within the cluster network which differs significantly from the cation distribution in the comparable potassium and caesium phases. The cation distribution can be rationalised considering the size of the cavities and the Coulombic interactions.

Abstract The pyridine complexes of cyclo-thiazeno vanadium dichloride, [VCl2(N3S2)py] and [VCl2(N3S2)(py)2] were synthesized by reactions of polymeric VCl2(N3S2) with varying amounts of pyridine in CH2Cl2. The compounds were characterized by their IR spectra as well as by their 51V NM R spectra. The crystal structure of [VCl2(N3S2)(C5H5N)] was determined by means of X-ray diffraction (1582 independent observed reflexions, R = 0.031). Crystal data: orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 1372, b - 2261, c - 1068 pm, Z = 12. In the lattice there are two monomeric, crystallographically independent molecules [VCl2(N3S2)(C5H5N)], which differ only slightly. The vanadium atoms have a trigonal bipyramidal coordination with the N atom of the pyridine molecule and one chlorine atom in apical positions, and with one chlorine atom and the N atoms of the cyclo-thiazeno ligand in equatorial positions. The VN bond lengths of the planar VN3S2 ring of 174 pm correspond to double bonds
