Large crystals of the methyl ester of the N-a-benzyloxycarbonyl protected Ala-Phe dipeptide (Z-AF-OMe) were obtained after the very slow evaporation of a solution of the corresponding carboxylic acid (Z-AF-OH) in methanol containing an excess of HCl. The structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with unit cell dimensions a = 5.0655(6) Å, b = 8.4614(8) Å, c = 46.856(5) Å, V = 2008.3(4) Å3, Z = 4. In the crystal, the molecules form hydrogen bonded chains running along the a axis of the unit cell. Other secondary interactions are also discussed.
The title solvated salt, C29H41N2+·Br-·2CH2Cl2 was obtained from the reaction of the Arduengo-type carbene 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-4,5-dimethyl-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene with Si2Br6 in dichloromethane. The complete cation is generated by a crystallographic mirror plane and the dihedral angle between the five-membered ring and the benzene ring is 89.8 (6)°; the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 40.7 (2)°. The anion also lies on the mirror plane and both dichloromethane molecules are disordered across the mirror plane over two equally occupied orientations. In the crystal, the cations are linked to the anions via C-H...Br hydrogen bonds.
Synthesis, crystal structure and structure–property relations of strontium orthocarbonate, Sr2CO4
(2021)
Carbonates containing CO4 groups as building blocks have recently been discovered. A new orthocarbonate, Sr2CO4 is synthesized at 92 GPa and at a temperature of 2500 K. Its crystal structure was determined by in situ synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction, selecting a grain from a polycrystalline sample. Strontium orthocarbonate crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system (space group Pnma) with CO4, SrO9 and SrO11 polyhedra as the main building blocks. It is isostructural to Ca2CO4. DFT calculations reproduce the experimental findings very well and have, therefore, been used to predict the equation of state, Raman and IR spectra, and to assist in the discussion of bonding in this compound.
The title compound, di-μ3-chlorido-tetra-μ2-chlorido-tetrakis(diethyl ether-κO)bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)tetramagnesium, [Mg4(C4H9)2Cl6(C4H10O)4], features an Mg4Cl6 open-cube cluster. The two four-coordinate Mg2+ ions show an almost tetrahedral coordination, whereas the two six-coordinate Mg2+ ions have their ligands in an octahedral environment. The Mg—Cl bond lengths differ depending on the coordination number (2 or 3) of the bridging μ-Cl− ligands. There are few comparable structures deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database.
We have determined the crystal structures of two decachlorocyclopentasilanes, namely bis(tetra-n-butylammonium) dichloride decachlorocyclopentasilane dichloromethane disolvate, 2C16H36N+·2Cl−·Si5Cl10·2CH2Cl2, (I), and bis(tetraethylammonium) dichloride decachlorocyclopentasilane dichloromethane disolvate, 2C8H20N+·2Cl−·Si5Cl10·2CH2Cl2, (II), both of which crystallize with discrete cations, anions, and solvent molecules. In (I), the complete decachlorocyclopentasilane ring is generated by a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. In (II), one cation is located on a general position and the other two are disordered about centres of inversion. These are the first structures featuring the structural motif of a five-membered cyclopentasilane ring coordinated from both sides by a chloride ion. The extended structures of (I) and (II) feature numerous C—H⋯Cl interactions. In (II), the N atoms are located on centres of inversion and as a result, the ethylene chains are disordered over equally occupied orientations.
In the title compound, C20H24N2O4, both peptide bonds adopt a trans configuration with respect to the —N—H and —C=O groups. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 53.58 (4)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The crystal packing is characterized by zigzag chains of N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded molecules running along the b-axis direction.
We have encountered two polymorphs of the title compound, C24H16B2OS2, both of which display almost the same unit-cell parameters. Compound (I) crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group P21 with four molecules in the asymmetric unit. These molecules are related by pseudosymmetry. As a result, the space group looks like P21/c, but the structure cannot be refined successfully in that space group. Compound (II) on the other hand crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P21/c with only two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystals studied for (I) and (II) were both non-merohedral twins.
In the title compound, C26H24N2O2, the oxazine moiety is fused to a naphthalene ring system. The asymmetric unit consists of one half of the molecule, which lies about an inversion centre. The C atoms of the ethylene spacer group adopt an antiperiplanar arrangement. The oxazine ring adopts a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, supramolecular chains running along the b axis are formed via short C—H⋯π contacts. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a fractional contribution of 0.168 (2) of the minor twin component.
In the title compound, C17H18N2O, the central carbon atom with the OH substituent and one of the (E)-benzylideneamino substituents are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.851 (4) and 0.149 (4). The relative positions of the two disorder components is equivalent to a rotation of approximately 60° about the C—N single bond. In the crystal, the molecules are held together by O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming simple C(5) chains along the b-axis direction. In addition, pairs of the chains are further aggregated by weak C—H...π interactions.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H28N4O, consists of two unique molecules linked by an O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. The conformation of both C=N bonds is E and the azomethine functional groups lie close to the plane of their associated benzene rings in each of the independent molecules. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings are 83.14 (4) and 75.45 (4)°. The plane of the one of the N(CH3)2 units is twisted away from the benzene ring by 18.8 (2)°, indicating loss of conjugation between the lone electron pair and the benzene ring. In the crystal structure, O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds together with C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring supramolecular dimers into a three-dimensional network.
Crystal structure of 1,3-bis(3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)-1,3-diazinan-5-ol monohydrate
(2016)
In the title hydrate, C28H42N2O3·H2O, the central 1,3-diazinan-5-ol ring adopts a chair conformation with the two benzyl substituents equatorial and the lone pairs of the N atoms axial. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 19.68 (38)°. There are two intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bonds, each generating an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, classical O-H...O hydrogen bonds connect the 1,3-diazinane and water molecules into columns extending along the b axis. The crystal structure was refined as a two-component twin with a fractional contribution to the minor domain of 0.0922 (18).
The title Schiff base, C19H22N2O3, was synthesized via the condensation reaction of 1,3-diaminopropan-2-ol with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde using water as solvent. The molecule exists in an E,E conformation with respect to the C=N imine bonds and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 37.25 (15)°. In the crystal, O-H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite C(5) chains propagating along the a-axis direction. The packing of these chains is consolidated by C-H...O interactions and C-H...[pi] short contacts, forming a three-dimensional network.
The title compound, C21H26Cl2N2O2, was prepared in a solvent-free microwave-assisted synthesis, and crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21. The imidazolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation and its mean plane is almost perpendicular to the two pendant aromatic rings [dihedral angles = 84.61 (9) and 86.54 (9)°]. The molecular structure shows the presence of two intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the phenolic hydroxy groups and imidazolidine N atoms. The two 3-chloro-6-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylbenzyl groups are located in a cis orientation with respect to the imidazolidine fragment. As a result, the lone pairs of electrons on the N atoms are presumed to be disposed in a syn conformation. This is therefore the first example of an exception to the `rabbit-ears' effect in such 2,2′-[imidazolidine-1,3-diylbis(methylene)]diphenol derivatives.
In the title ternary co-crystalline adduct, C7H14N4·2C6H5NO3, molecules are linked by two intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a tricomponent aggregates in the asymmetric unit. The hydrogen-bond formation to one of the N atoms is enough to induce structural stereoelectronic effects in the normal donor→acceptor direction. In the title adduct, the two independent nitrophenol molecules are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.0157 (13) and 0.0039 (13) Å. The dihedral angles between the planes of the nitro group and the attached benzene rings are 4.04 (17) and 5.79 (17)°. In the crystal, aggregates are connected by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supramolecular dimer enclosing an R66(32) ring motif. Additional C—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions form a second supramolecular inversion dimer with an R22(10) motif. These units are linked via C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
In the title compound, C7H14N4·2C6H5ClO, which crystallized with two crystallographically independent 4-chlorophenol molecules and one 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.3.1.13,8]undecane (TATU) molecule in the asymmetric unit, the independent components are linked by two O-H...N hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen-bond acceptor sites are two non-equivalent N atoms from the aminal cage structure, and the tricyclic system distorts by changing the C-N bond lengths. In the crystal, these hydrogen-bonded aggregates are linked into chains along the c axis by C-H...N hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure also features C-H...[pi] contacts.
In the title compound, C23H19NO2, an oxazine Mannich base derivative, the oxazine ring has a half-chair conformation. The 2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl substituent is placed in an axial position. There is an intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond, forming an S(6) graph-set motif. In the crystal, molecules are connected by a pair of C-H...[pi] interactions into an inversion dimer, which is reinforced by another pair of weak C-H...[pi] interactions. The dimers are linked by a [pi]-[pi] interaction [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6268 (17) Å], consolidating a column along the a axis. Furthermore, the columns interact with each other by a weak C-H...[pi] interaction, generating a three-dimensional network.
In the crystal of the title co-crystalline adduct, C8H16N4·C8H9ClO, (I), prepared by solid-state reaction, the molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a D motif. The azaadamantane structure in (I) is slightly distorted, with N—CH2—CH2—N torsion angles of 10.4 (3) and −9.0 (3)°. These values differ slightly from the corresponding torsion angles in the free aminal cage (0.0°) and in related co-crystalline adducts, which are not far from a planar geometry and consistent with a D2d molecular symmetry in the tetraazatricyclo structure. The structures also differ in that there is a slight elongation of the N—C bond lengths about the N atom that accepts the hydrogen bond in (I) compared with the other N—C bond lengths. In the crystal, the two molecules are not only linked by a classical O—H⋯N hydrogen bond but are further connected by weak C—H⋯π interactions, forming a two-dimensional supramolecular network parallel to the bc plane.
The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystalline adduct, 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD)–4-iodophenol (1/2), C8H16N4·2C6H5IO, comprises a half molecule of the aminal cage polyamine plus a 4-iodophenol molecule. A twofold rotation axis generates the other half of the adduct. The components are linked by two intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The adducts are further linked into a three-dimensional framework structure by a combination of N⋯I halogen bonds and weak non-conventional C—H⋯O and C—H⋯I hydrogen bonds.
The title benzoxazine molecule, C18H18Br2N2O2, was prepared by a Mannich-type reaction of 4-bromophenol with ethane-1,2-diamine and formaldehyde. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a centre of inversion located at the mid-point of the C-C bond of the central CH2CH2 spacer. The oxazinic ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The structure is compared to those of other functionalized benzoxazines synthesized in our laboratory. In the crystal, weak C-H...Br and C-H...O hydrogen bonds stack the molecules along the b-axis direction.
