A hemicryptophane cage bearing amine and amide functions in its three linkers was synthesized in five steps. The X-ray molecular structure of the cage shows a triple-stranded helical arrangement of the linkers stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds between amide and amine groups. The chirality of the cyclotriveratrylene unit controls the propeller arrangement of the three aromatic rings in the opposite part of the cage. 1H NMR studies suggest that this structure is retained in solution.

Methylation of aromatic amino groups is usually straightforward, but the formation of two intramolecular hydrogen bonds in 3,3′-N,N′-bis(amino)-2,2′-bipyridine and (or) the potential for ring methylation prevents the clean tetramethylation of this molecule. Numerous attempts to make 3,3′-N,N′-bis(dimethylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine produced only complex mixtures of variously methylated products, and the only isolated molecule was 3,3′-N,N′-bis(methylamino)-2,2′-bipyridine, for which an X-ray crystal structure was obtained.

In order to improve bioavailability and anticancer activity of genistein, a series of novel sulfonic acid ester prodrugs of the isoflavone genistein were synthesised in high yield with excellent regioselectivity. Their structures were characterised by IR, MS, elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectra. The crystal structure was examined by X-ray diffraction. X-ray structure determination revealed that all the aromatic rings in the compound are not coplanar. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ab plane.

The colourless crystalline form of the benzoylpyrazolone (2) has molecules with the NH structure (2c) stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. At room temperature crystals are monoclinic: P21/c, a 13.508(5), b 9.124(4), c 11.451(3)Ǻ, β 90.80(3)°, Z4; the structure was refined to R 0.059, Rw 0.048. The acetoacetylpyrazolone (3) has the OH structure (3c) with two intramolecular hydrogen bonds. At 193 K crystals are triclinic: Pī , a 7.142(2), b 13.704(8), c 14.699(7)Ǻ, α 117.36(3), β 96.87(3), γ 93.73(3)°, Z 4; the structure was refined to R 0.049, Rw 0.054.

Objectives. The study was devoted to considering the features of the synthesis and crystal structure of calcium trifluoroacetate Ca2(CF3COO)4·8CF3COOH and investigating the products of its thermal behavior.Methods. The compositions of the proposed structural form were characterized by various physicochemical methods (X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy), and the products of thermal decomposition were determined under dynamic vacuum conditions.Results. The reaction between calcium carbonate and 99% trifluoroacetic acid yielded a new structural type of calcium trifluoroacetate Ca2(CF3COO)4·8CF3COOH (I) in the form of colorless prismatic crystals unstable air. X-ray diffraction results confirmed the composition I: space group P21, with unit cell parameters: a = 10.0193(5) Å, b = 15.2612(7) Å, c = 16.3342(8) Å, β = 106.106(2)°, V = 2399.6(2) Å3, Z = 2. The structure is molecular, constructed from Ca2(CF3COO)4·8CF3COOH dimers. The end molecules of the trifluoroacetic acid were involved in the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds with oxygen atoms of the bidentate bridging anions CF3COO−. There were strongly pronouncedsymmetric and asymmetric absorption bands of COO and CF3-groups in the IR spectrum of the resulting compound in the range of 1200–1800 cm−1. The definite peak of the oscillation of the OH-group at 3683 cm−1 corresponds to the trifluoroacetic acid molecules present in the structure. The broadpeak of the valence oscillations in the range of 3300–3500 cm−1 is caused by the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Decomposition began at 250°C and 10−2 mm Hg with calcium fluoride CaF2 as the final decomposition product.Conclusions. We obtained a previously undescribed calcium–trifluoroacetic acid complex whose composition can be represented by Ca2(CF3COO)4·8CF3COOH. The crystal island structure is a dimeric molecule where the calcium atoms are bound into dimers by four trifluoroacetate groups. The complex was deposited in the Cambridge Structural Data Bank with a deposit number CCDC 2081186. Although the compound has a molecular structure, thermal decomposition leads to the formation of calcium fluoride characterized by a small particle size, which may further determine its applications.

Unusual effects of intramolecular hydrogen bonds and dipole interactions are investigated using FTIR, NMR and X-Ray crystallography analyses of some imines. These phenomena affect both FTIR absorptions and chemical shifts.
