We report a fully organic pyridine-tetrapyrrolic U-shaped acyclic receptor 10, which prefers a supramolecular pseudo-macrocyclic dimeric structure (10)2 in a less polar, non-coordinating solvent (e.g., CHCl3). Conversely, when it is crystalized from a polar, coordinating solvent (e.g., N,N-dimethylformamide, DMF), it exhibited an infinite supramolecular one-dimensional (1D) “zig-zag” polymeric chain, as inferred from the single-crystal X-ray structures. This supramolecular system acts as a potential receptor for strong acids, e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA), methane sulfonic acid (MSA), H2SO4, HNO3, and HCl, with a prominent colorimetric response from pale yellow to deep red. The receptor can easily be recovered from the organic solution of the host–guest complex by simple aqueous washing. It was observed that relatively stronger acids with pKa < −1.92 in water were able to interact with the receptor, as inferred from 1H NMR titration in tetrahydrofuran-d8 (THF-d8) and ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopic titrations in anhydrous THF at 298 K. Therefore, this new dynamic supramolecular receptor system may have potentiality in materials science research.

AbstractThe cyano-bridged heteronuclear coordination polymer of zinc(II)/nickel(II) has been prepared by N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylendiamine (hydet-en), alternatively named 2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethanol and characterised by IR and thermal analysis. In the bimetallic complex, the decomposition of hydet-en ligands is seen to be endothermic whereas that of the cyano ligands is found to be exothermic. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the zinc(II)-nickel(II) complex consists of a one-dimensional polymeric chain –Zn(hydet-en)

New diazaphospholes and diazaphosphorinanes with formula were synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C, 31P NMR and IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structure of compound 1 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. A one-dimensional polymeric chain was observed in the crystalline lattice produced by intermolecular -P=O. . .H-N- and -C=O. . .H-N-hydrogen bonds. Compounds 1 and 2 contain five-membered rings and show high values for 2J(PNH) and 2J(P,C) coupling constants due to the ring strain. These constants are reduced seriously in compounds with six-membered rings. In compound 6 with CCl3C(O)NH moiety, all phosphorus-hydrogen couplings are zero.

A new silver(I) nitrate complex of 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine (aepy), [Ag2(μ-NO3)2(μ-aepy)2]n, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffractometry. Two silver(I) ions are doubly bridged by two bidentate aepy ligands forming dimeric building block [Ag2(μ-aepy)2] units with a Ag···Ag distance of 3.0587(17)Å . These dimeric units are further doubly bridged by two nitrato ligands into a one-dimensional polymeric chain. The nitrato ligand exhibits an uncommon bidentate bridging mode of Ag-ONO-Ag. The title complex features a hydrogen bonded two-dimensional supramolecular framework formed via N-H···O hydrogen bonds, involving the uncoordinated O atom of the nitrate ligand and amine hydrogen atoms of aepy. The thermal stability of the title complex was investigated using thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis.

AbstractX-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) is commonly used for imaging of samples in biomedical or materials science research. Owing to the ability to visualize a sample in a nondestructive way, X-ray μCT is perfectly suited to inspect fossilized specimens, which are mostly unique or rare. In certain regions of the world where important sedimentation events occurred in the Precambrian geological time, several fossilized animals are studied to understand questions related to their origin, environment, and life evolution. This article demonstrates the advantages of applying absorption and phase-contrast CT on the enigmatic fossil Corumbella werneri, one of the oldest known animals capable of building hard parts, originally discovered in Corumbá (Brazil). Different tomographic setups were tested to visualize the fossilized inner structures: a commercial laboratory-based μCT device, two synchrotron-based imaging setups using conventional absorption and propagation-based phase contrast, and a commercial X-ray microscope with a lens-coupled detector system, dedicated for radiography and tomography. Based on our results we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the different imaging setups for paleontological studies.

A new triazine ligand salt, 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(hydrazin-1-ium) chloride [THT·(HCl)3], and the one-dimensional coordination polymer of cadmium, [Cd2( µ-THT)( µ-Cl)( µ-I)I2]·2(H2O), are prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (for the cadmium polymer). X-ray analysis revealed that the polymeric backbone is extended alternatively by di-iodo and di-chloro bridges; this type of bridge is not observed previously between any metal atoms. There are two types of cadmium atoms in the polymer: cadmium of the polymeric chain and terminal cadmiums. The geometry around the first (CdN2Cl2I2) is octahedral, while the latter (CdN3I2) has an incline to square-pyramidal geometry. The triazine ligand of this structure also bridges two cadmium atoms and acts as an N3 donor toward the terminal cadmium atoms and as an N2 donor toward the cadmium atoms of the chain. In the crystal network of the cadmium polymer, the hydrogen bonds of N–H···X (X: O, N, I) form different hydrogen bond motifs, including [Formula: see text](8), [Formula: see text](10), [Formula: see text](14), [Formula: see text](18), [Formula: see text](20), [Formula: see text](24), [Formula: see text](28), and [Formula: see text](32).
