Crystallographic studies of monosulfonated azo dyes have concentrated on the salt forms that contain the azo anion. Here we present a study that compares the structures of these anions with protonated free acid forms and with doubly deprotonated dianion forms. To this end, the new single crystal diffraction structures of 13 systematically related free acid forms of monosulfonated azo dyes are presented, together with three new structures of doubly deprotonated forms and two new structures of Na salt forms of azo anions. No structures of dideprotonated monosulfonated azo dyes have previously been reported and this paper also reports the first crystal structure of an azo dye with a hydronium cation. The geometries of the free acid, anion and dianion forms are compared to literature equivalents. It is shown that protonation of the azo bond gives predictable bond lengthening and shortening, which is of a greater magnitude than similar effects caused by azo-hydrazone tautomerisation, or the smaller again effects caused by the resonance electron donation from O or N based substituents. The dianion containing structures have twisted dianion geometries that can be understood based on the resonance effects of the phenoxide groups and upon the needs to bond to a relatively high number of metal cations.

Ten isostructural single-crystal diffraction studies of mixed cation Ca/Sr salt forms of the salicylate anion are presented, namely catena-poly[[diaquacalcium(II)/strontium(II)]-bis(μ2-2-hydroxybenzoato)], [Ca1–x Sr x (C7H5O3)2(H2O)2] n , where x = 0, 0.041, 0.083, 0.165, 0.306, 0.529, 0.632, 0.789, 0.835 and 1. The structure of an isostructural Sr/Ba species, namely catena-poly[[diaquastrontium(II)/barium(II)]-bis(μ2-2-hydroxybenzoato)], [Sr0.729Ba0.271(C7H5O3)2(H2O)2], is also described. The Ca/Sr structures form a series where, with increasing Sr content, the unit cell expands in both the crystallographic a and c directions (by 1.80 and 3.18%, respectively), but contracts slightly in the b direction (−0.31%). The largest percentage structural expansion lies parallel to the direction of propagation of the one-dimensional coordination polymer that is the primary structural feature. This structural expansion is thus associated with increased M—O distances. Aqueous solubility measurements show that solubility generally increases with increasing Sr content. Thus, tuning the composition of these mixed counter-ion salt forms leads to systematic structural changes and allows solubility to be tuned to values between those for the pure Ca and Sr species.

The crystal and molecular structures of 2-methyl-1-methylamino-anthraquinone (I) and 1-methylphenylamino-anthraquinone (II) were studied by the X-ray single-crystal diffraction and the visible spectra of crystalline specimens and their solutions were recorded. The molecule I is closely planar, whereas in the molecule II the amino group is 58° rotated out of the plane of the anthraquinone skeleton. In both structures the molecules pack in stacks. The comparison of experimental and calculated (on the DFT and AM1 levels) molecular structures, together with the comparison of experimental and INDO/S-calculated electronic spectra, give the evidence that molecular conformations (especially for II) change upon transfer from the solid state to solutions, and the π-delocalisation throughout the whole molecule enhances in the solid state.

In this study, for the first time, molecular modeling and antiparasitic activity studies were carried out on some azo dyes containing uracil, 6-amino-5-[(4-nitrophenyl) diazenyl] pyrimidine-2,4 (1H, 3H)-dione (dye I) and 6-amino-5-[(4-bromophenyl) diazenyl] pyrimidin-2,4 (1H, 3H)-dione (dye II), which were resynthesized using the same method in the literature and whose molecular structures were confirmed using FTIR and 1H-NMR methods. In molecular modeling study, all calculations were performed using DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. The molecular structures of the possible tautomeric forms of dyes I and II were optimized, and their molecular total energies were calculated in the gas phase and DMSO solvent. IR and 1H-NMR spectral data of the possible tautomeric forms of dyes were obtained, and theoretical spectral data were compared with experimental ones. The evaluations show that, for both dyes, the spectral data of the imine-diketo-hydrazone form, which has the lowest energy and is hence determined to be the most stable form, are in agreement with the experimental ones. In antiparasitic activity study, dyes I and II were tested for the first time against parasites Leishmania infantum, Leishmania major, Leishmania tropica promastigotes, and Trichomonas vaginalis trophozoites. In vitro antileishmanial activities against Leishmania promastigotes were tested by microdilution broth assay with Alamar Blue in RPMI 1640 medium, and in vitro trichomonacidal activities against Trichomonas vaginalis parasite were tested using TYM medium. In tests, antileishmanial and trichomonacidal effects were determined by comparing the obtained minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum lethal concentration (MLC) values with those obtained for standard drugs (amphotericin B and metronidazole, respectively).

The single-crystal diffraction structures of 38 salt forms of the base tyramine (4-hydroxyphenethylamine) are reported for the first time. Together with literature examples, these structures are discussed with respect to cation conformation, cation packing, hydrogen bonding and hydrate formation. It is found that isostructural cation packing can occur even with structurally different anions, with different hydration states and with different hydrogen bonding. Hydrate formation is found to be more likely both (i) when there is an increase in the total number of potential hydrogen bond acceptor and donor atoms; and (ii) when the ratio of potential hydrogen bond donor to acceptor atoms is low.

Molecular structures of 4-(((4-methoxyphenyl)amino)methyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline and 2-methoxy-5-((phenylamino)methyl)phenol synthesized via Schiff bases reduction route are reported. The compounds consist of asymmetric units of C16H20N2O (1) and C14H15NO2 (2) in orthorhombic and monoclinic crystal systems, respectively. Compound 1 consist of intermolecular C11—H11···N2 hydrogen bonding with C11···N21 = 3.463(4) Å. The hydroxyl group in 2 is also involved in intermolecular O2—H2···O2 and O2—H2···O21 hydrogen bonding with O2···O11 = 2.8885(15) Å and O1···O21 = 2.9277(5) Å. The molecular structures of the compounds are stabilized by secondary intermolecular interactions of C1—H1B···O11 and C5—H···(C41, C51, C61, C71) for 1 and H···C, C—H···O and N—H···C for 2. The reported compounds are important starting material for the synthesis of many compounds such as azo dyes and dithiocarbamate.

A series of tridentate N,N,N-nickel complexes bearing 2-(1H-2-benzimidazolyl)-6-(1-(arylimino)ethyl)pyridines was synthesized and characterized by elemental and IR spectroscopic analysis. The molecular structures of representative complexes were determined by single-crystal diffraction, and these were found to have a six-coordinate distorted octahedral geometry around the Ni centre. On treatment with Et2AlCl, all nickel complexes exhibited good catalytic activities up to 106 g mol–1(Ni) h–1 for ethylene oligomerization with major dimerization. The steric and electronic effects on catalytic activities of metal complexes as well as the influence of various reaction parameters were carefully investigated.
