A series of polycyclic frameworks with fluorinated syn-facial quinoxaline sidewalls has been prepared as potential molecular tweezers for electron-rich guest compounds. Our synthetic route to the cyclooctadiene-derived scaffolds 16a–d takes advantage of the facile isolation of a novel spirocyclic precursor 9b with the crucial syn-orientation of its two alkene moieties. The crystal structure of 16c displays two features typical of a molecular tweezer: inclusion of a solvent molecule in the molecular cleft and self-association of the self-complementary scaffolds. Furthermore, host–guest NMR studies of compound 16c in solution show chemical exchange between the unbound and bound electron-rich guest, N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine.

The title compound, [Cu(C12H8N2)2Br]2[Fe(CN)5(NO)]·C3H7NO, was prepared by the self-assembly of nitroprusside anion and Cu cation containing a bidentate amine in the reaction of copper powder and sodium nitroprusside with NH4Br and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in dimethylformamide (DMF). The complex is formed of discrete [Cu(phen)2Br]+ cations, nitroprusside [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2– anions and DMF molecules of crystallization. The cation has no crystallographically imposed symmetry; the metal atom coordinates two nitrogen atoms of two phen molecules and bromide ion. The copper coordination geometry is intermediate between a square pyramid and a trigonal bipyramid. The [Fe(CN)5(NO)]2– anion is located on an inversion centre with the nitrosyl group modelled as disordered with one of the CN groups. The DMF solvent molecule was found to be disordered about the crystallographic inversion centre; geometries were restrained to ideal values. In the solid state, alternating layers of cations and of anions plus DMF molecules are stacked along the b axis.

The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined. The compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P -1, Z = 2, V = 1839 .42( 18) A3 and unit cell parameters a= 11. 0460( 6) A, b = 13 .3180(7) A, c=13. 7321 (8) A, a = 80.659(3 )0, b = 69 .800(3 )0 and g = 77 .007 (2)0 with one disordered dimethylsulfoxide solvent molecule with the sulfur and oxygen atoms are distributed over two sites; S101/S102 [site occupancy factors: 0.6035/0.3965] and 0130/0131 [site occupancy factor 0.3965/0.6035]. The C22-S2 l and C 19-S20 bond distances of 1. 779(7) A and 1. 788(8) A indicate that both of the molecules are connected by the disulfide bond [S20-S21 2.055(2) A] in its thiol form. The crystal structure reveals that both of the 5-bromoisatin moieties are trans with respect to the [S21-S20 and CI 9-Nl 8] and [S20-S21 and C22-N23] bonds whereas the benzyl group from the dithiocarbazate are in the cis configuration with respect to [S21-S20 and C19-S44] and [S20-S21 and C22-S36] bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds of N9-H35···O16 formed between the two molecules and N28-H281 ···O130, N28-H281 ···O131 and C4 l-H4 l l ···O 131 with the solvent molecule.
