1 Synthesis and crystal structure of (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-κ4N)(tetrasulfido-κ2S1,S4)manganese(II) By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-02-28 The title compound, [Mn(S4)(C8H20N4)], was accidentally obtained by the hydrothermal reaction of Mn(ClO4)2·6H2O, cyclen (cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) and Na3SbS4·9H2O in water at 413 K, indicating that polysulfide anions might represent intermediates in the synthesis of thiometallate compounds using Na3SbS4·9H2O as a reactant. X-ray powder diffraction proves that the sample is slightly contaminated with NaSb(OH)6 and an unknown crystalline phase. The crystal investigated was twinned with a twofold rotation axis as the twin element, and therefore a twin refinement using data in HKLF-5 format was performed. The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one MnII cation, one [S4]2− anion and one cyclen ligand in general positions. The MnII cation is sixfold coordinated by two cis-S atoms of the [S4]2− anions, as well as four N atoms of the cyclen ligand within an irregular coordination. The complexes are linked via pairs of N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into chains, which are further linked into layers by additional N—H⋯S hydrogen bonding. These layers are connected into a three-dimensional network by intermolecular N—H⋯S and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonding. It is noted that only one similar complex with MnII is reported in the literature.

1 Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and interaction energy and DFT studies of (S)-10-propargylpyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine-5,11-dione By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-03-03 The title compound, C15H14N2O2, consists of pyrrole and benzodiazepine units linked to a propargyl moiety, where the pyrrole and diazepine rings adopt half-chair and boat conformations, respectively. The absolute configuration was assigned on the the basis of l-proline, which was used in the synthesis of benzodiazepine. In the crystal, weak C—HBnz⋯ODiazp and C—HProprg⋯ODiazp (Bnz = benzene, Diazp = diazepine and Proprg = propargyl) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into two-dimensional networks parallel to the bc plane, enclosing R44(28) ring motifs, with the networks forming oblique stacks along the a-axis direction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (49.8%), H⋯C/C⋯H (25.7%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (20.1%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond energies are 38.8 (for C—HBnz⋯ODiazp) and 27.1 (for C—HProprg⋯ODiazp) kJ mol−1. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. Full Article text

1 Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study of 2-chloro-N-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]acetamide By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-03-31 In the title compound, C9H10ClNOS, the amide functional group –C(=O)NH– adopts a trans conformation with the four atoms nearly coplanar. This conformation promotes the formation of a C(4) hydrogen-bonded chain propagating along the [010] direction. The central part of the molecule, including the six-membered ring, the S and N atoms, is fairly planar (r.m.s. deviation of 0.014). The terminal methyl group and the C(=O)CH2 group are slightly deviating out-of-plane while the terminal Cl atom is almost in-plane. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound suggests that the most significant contacts in the crystal are H⋯H, H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H, H⋯O/O⋯H and H⋯S/S⋯H. π–π interactions between inversion-related molecules also contribute to the crystal packing. DFT calculations have been performed to optimize the structure of the title compound using the CAM-B3LYP functional and the 6–311 G(d,p) basis set. The theoretical absorption spectrum of the title compound was calculated using the TD–DFT method. The analysis of frontier orbitals revealed that the π–π* electronic transition was the major contributor to the absorption peak in the electronic spectrum. Full Article text

The cation is protonated at the meta-N atom (with respect to the carboxy group) in each case. In the crystal of (I), carboxylic acid inversion dimers linked by pairwise O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are seen and each N—H group forms a hydrogen bond to a chloride ion to result in (100) undulating layers of chloride ions bridged by the inversion dimers into a three-dimensional network. The extended structure of (II) features O—H⋯Br, N—H⋯Br and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds: the last of these generates C(7) chains of cations. Overall, the packing in (II) features undulating (100) sheets of bromide ions alternating with the organic cations. Intermolecular interactions in the crystal of (III) include O—H⋯O, O—H⋯(O,O), N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and O—H⋯N links. The cations are linked into (001) sheets, and the nitrate ions and water molecules form undulating chains. Taken together, alternating (001) slabs of organic cations plus anions/water molecules result. Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots were generated to give further insight into the intermolecular interactions in these structures. The crystal used for the data collection of (II) was twinned by rotation about [100] in reciprocal space in a 0.4896 (15):0.5104 (15) ratio. Full Article text

In addition to these intermolecular interactions, the crystal packing consists of two different molecular sheets with an angle between their mean planes of 64.4 (2)°. The cohesion between the different layers is ensured by C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O interactions. Full Article text

Stacking of the layers along [100] results in a three-dimensional framework enclosing tunnel-like cavities in which SrII cations are incorporated for charge compensation. The sequence of directedness of up (U) and down (D) pointing vertices of neighboring tetrahedra in a single six-membered ring is UUUDDD. The topology of the tetrahedral framework belongs to the zeolite-type ABW. Full Article text
1 Synthesis and crystal structures of tetrameric [2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl)anilido]sodium and tris[2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl)anilido]ytterbium(III) By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-04-21 Reaction of 2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl)aniline (H2-L1) with one equivalent of Na[N(SiMe3)2] in toluene afforded pale-yellow crystals of tetrameric poly[bis[μ3-2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl)anilinido][μ2-2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl)aniline]tetrasodium(I)], [Na4(C11H13N2O)4]n or [Na4(H-L1)4]n (2), in excellent yield. Subsequent reaction of [Na4(H-L1)4]n (2) with 1.33 equivalents of anhydrous YbCl3 in a 50:50 mixture of toluene–THF afforded yellow crystals of tris[2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolin-2-yl)anilinido]ytterbium(III), [Yb(C11H13N2O)3] or Yb(H-L1)3 (3) in moderate yield. Direct reaction of three equivalents of 2-(4',4'-dimethyl-2'-oxazolinyl)aniline (H2-L1) with Yb[N(SiMe3)2]3 in toluene resulted in elimination of hexamethyldisilazane, HN(SiMe3)2, and produced Yb(H-L1)3 (3) in excellent yield. The structure of 2 consists of tetrameric Na4(H-L1)4 subunits in which each Na+ cation is bound to two H-L1 bridging bidentate ligands and these subunits are connected into a polymeric chain by two of the four oxazoline O atoms bridging to Na+ cations in the adjacent tetramer. This results in two 4-coordinate and two 5-coordinate Na+ cations within each tetrameric unit. The structure of 3 consists of a distorted octahedron where the bite angle of ligand L1 ranges between 74.72 (11) and 77.79 (11) degrees. The oxazoline (and anilide) N atoms occupy meridional sites such that for one ligand an anilide nitrogen is trans to an oxazoline nitrogen while for the other two oxazoline N atoms are trans to each other. This results in a significantly longer Yb—N(oxazoline) distance [2.468 (3) Å] for the bond trans to the anilide compared to those for the oxazoline N atoms trans to one another [2.376 (3), 2.390 (3) Å].

1 Structure of a push–pull olefin prepared by ynamine hydroboration with a borandiol ester By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-04-21 N-[(Z)-2-(2H-1,3,2-Benzodioxaborol-2-yl)-2-phenylethenyl]-N-(propan-2-yl)aniline, C23H22BNO2, contains a C=C bond that is conjugated with a donor and an acceptor group. An analysis that included similar push–pull olefins revealed that bond lengths in their B—C=C—N core units correlate with the perceived acceptor and donor strength of the groups. The two phenyl groups in the molecule are rotated with respect to the plane that contains the BCCN atoms, and are close enough for significant π-stacking. Definite characterization of the title compound demonstrates, for the first time in a reliable way, that hydroboration of ynamines with borandiol esters is feasible. Compared to olefin hydroboration with borane, the ynamine substrate is activated enough to undergo reaction with the less active hydroboration reagent catecholborane. Full Article text

1 A five-coordinate cobalt bis(dithiolene)–phosphine complex [Co(pdt)2(PTA)] (pdt = phenyldithiolene; PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-04-24 The title compound, bis(1,2-diphenyl-2-sulfanylideneethanethiolato-κ2S,S')(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane-κP)cobalt(II) dichloromethane hemisolvate, [Co(pdt)2(PTA)]·0.5C2H4Cl2 or [Co(C14H10S2)2(C6H12N3P)]·0.5C2H4Cl2, contains two phenyldithiolene (pdt) ligands and a 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) ligand bound to cobalt with the solvent 1,2-dichloroethane molecule located on an inversion center. The cobalt core exhibits an approximately square-pyramidal geometry with partially reduced thienyl radical monoanionic ligands. The supramolecular network is consolidated by hydrogen-bonding interactions primarily with nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine atoms, as well as parallel displaced π-stacking of the aryl rings. The UV–vis, IR, and CV data are also consistent with monoanionic dithiolene ligands and an overall CoII oxidation state. Full Article text
