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 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.
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 excellent results of dispersion‐corrected density functional theory (DFT‐D) calculations for static systems have been well established over the past decade. The introduction of dynamics into DFT‐D calculations is a target, especially for the field of molecular NMR crystallography. Four 13C ss‐NMR calibration compounds are investigated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, molecular dynamics and DFT‐D calculations. The crystal structure of 3‐methylglutaric acid is reported. The rotator phases of adamantane and hexamethylbenzene at room temperature are successfully reproduced in the molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated 13C chemical shifts of these compounds are in excellent agreement with experiment, with a root‐mean‐square deviation of 2.0 ppm. It is confirmed that a combination of classical molecular dynamics and DFT‐D chemical shift calculation improves the accuracy of calculated chemical shifts.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H18I2N2O2, consists of one half-molecule, completed by the application of inversion symmetry. The molecule adopts the typical structure for this class of bis-benxozazines, characterized by an anti orientation of the two benzoxazine rings around the central C—C bond. The oxazinic ring adopts a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—I⋯N short contacts [I⋯N = 3.378 (2) Å], generating layers lying parallel to the bc plane.
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.

The Mg atom is in a considerably distorted Br2CO coordination. Bond lengths and angles are comparable with already published values. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions linking the complexes into sheets parallel to (0-11).
The Mg centre in the title compound, [MgBr2(C2H7N)3], is pentacoordinated in a trigonal-bipyramidal mode with the two Br atoms in axial positions and the N atoms of the dimethylamine ligands in equatorial positions. The MgII centre is located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The crystal structure is stabilized by N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. The N atom and H atoms of one dimethylamine ligand are disordered over two equally occupied positions.
The title compound, Cs2Mg(H2P2O7)2·2H2O, is isostructural with the related known isoformular phosphates.

The bis(trimethyl)silylamido complex Na(THF){Fe[N(SiMe3)2]3} and the disilane tBu3SiSitBu3 were obtained from the reaction of Fe[N(SiMe3)2]3 with the sodium silanide Na(THF)2[SitBu3] in a mixture of benzene and THF. Single crystals of Na(THF){Fe[N(SiMe3)2]3} suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from the reaction solution at ambient temperature (orthorhombic, C2221, Z = 4). The solid-state structure features a contact-ion pair with two short N-Na contacts. The THF adducts {M(THF)2[N(SiMe3)2]2} reacted with 2,2´-bipyridine to give the corresponding complexes {M(2,2´bipy)[N(SiMe3)2]2} (M= Mn; Fe). Their structures (M= Fe: orthorhombic, Pca21, Z = 8; M = Mn: orthorhombic, Pbca, Z = 8) feature monomeric units. The cyclic voltammogram of Fe[N(SiMe3)2]3 revealed a reversible redox transition with the potential of -0;523 V (E½), which was assigned to the Fe(III)[N(SiMe3)2]3 → Fe(II)[N(SiMe3)2]-3 redox transition, whereas the compounds {Fe(THF)2[N(SiMe3)2]2} (Eox = -0;379 V) and {Fe(2,2´bipy)[N(SiMe3)2]2} (Eox = -0;436 V) featured irreversible oxidation waves. The related manganese bis(trimethylsilyl)amido complexes {Mn(THF)2[N(SiMe3)2]2} (Eox = -0;458 V) and {Mn(2,2´bipy)[N(SiMe3)2]2} (Eox = -0513 V) also underwent irreversibile electron transfer processes.

S hydrogen bonds. The terminal ethoxy substituents are statistically disordered [occupancy ratio 0.527 (5):0.473 (5)].
First crystal structure of a Pigment Red 52 compound: DMSO solvate hydrate of the monosodium salt
(2021)
Pigment Red 52, Na2[C18H11ClN2O6S], is an industrially produced hydrazone-laked pigment. It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of the corresponding Ca2+ and Mn2+ salts, which are used commercially for printing inks and lacquers. Hitherto, no crystal structure of any salt of Pigment Red 52 is known. Now, single crystals have been obtained of a dimethyl sulfoxide solvate hydrate of the monosodium salt of Pigment Red 52, namely, monosodium 2-[2-(3-carboxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-1-ylidene)hydrazin-1-yl]-5-chloro-4-methylbenzenesulfonate dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate monohydrate, Na+·C18H12ClN2O6S−·H2O·C2H6OS, obtained from in-house synthesized Pigment Red 52. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 173 K. In this monosodium salt, the SO3− group is deprotonated, whereas the COOH group is protonated. The residues form chains via ionic interactions and hydrogen bonds. The chains are arranged in polar/non-polar double layers.
The title compound, C8H16N4·2C11H16O, was synthesized from the corresponding sterically crowded phenol by treatment with the aminal cage polyamine. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structural analysis revealed the three-molecule aggregate to crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2/c with one half of a 1,3,6,8-tetraaztricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) molecule and one 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol molecule per asymmetric unit. The crystal structure features intermolecular O—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, as well as intermolecular C—H...π interactions.
While it is apparent that rare variation can play an important role in the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the contribution of common variation to the risk of developing ASD is less clear. To produce a more comprehensive picture, we report Stage 2 of the Autism Genome Project genome-wide association study, adding 1301 ASD families and bringing the total to 2705 families analysed (Stages 1 and 2). In addition to evaluating the association of individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we also sought evidence that common variants, en masse, might affect the risk. Despite genotyping over a million SNPs covering the genome, no single SNP shows significant association with ASD or selected phenotypes at a genome-wide level. The SNP that achieves the smallest P-value from secondary analyses is rs1718101. It falls in CNTNAP2, a gene previously implicated in susceptibility for ASD. This SNP also shows modest association with age of word/phrase acquisition in ASD subjects, of interest because features of language development are also associated with other variation in CNTNAP2. In contrast, allele scores derived from the transmission of common alleles to Stage 1 cases significantly predict case status in the independent Stage 2 sample. Despite being significant, the variance explained by these allele scores was small (Vm< 1%). Based on results from individual SNPs and their en masse effect on risk, as inferred from the allele score results, it is reasonable to conclude that common variants affect the risk for ASD but their individual effects are modest.
Chelidamic acid (4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) and 2,6-diaminopyridine react to form the title salt, C5H8N3+·C7H4NO5-; there are two formula units in the asymmetric unit. The pyridine N atom of 2,6-diaminopyridine is protonated whereas chelidamic acid is deprotonated at both carboxylate groups but protonated at the N atom; the reaction involves intra- and intermolecular proton transfer. In the crystal, each 2,6-diaminopyridinium cation participates in five strong N-H...O hydrogen bonds (including one bifurcated hydrogen bond). The crystal structure also features strong O-H...O hydrogen bonds between the chelidamate anions, leading to chains along the a axis.
Iodo(triphenyl)silane
(2019)
The molecular structure of the title compound, C18H15ISi, which crystallizes in the space group C2/c, does not exhibit any unusual features. Two weak C—H⋯π interactions may help to consolidate the packing. The present structure is not isostructural with the known Ph3SiX (X = F, Cl or Br) compounds.
Two tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids were extracted from the alkaloid fraction of a methanol extract of the seeds of Calycotome Villosa Subsp. intermedia. Their structures were established as (R)-1-hydroxymethyl-7-8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro- isoquinoline (1) and (S)-7-hydroxymethyl-2-3-dimethoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroisoquinoline chloride (2) by spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction analysis.
Solvent-free treatment of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.3.1.13,8]undecano (TATU) with 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol led to the formation of the title co-crystal, C7H14N4·2C8H9ClO. The asymmetric unit contains one aminal cage molecule and two phenol molecules linked via two O-H...N hydrogen bonds. In the aminal cage, the N-CH2-CH2-N unit is slightly distorted from a syn periplanar geometry. Aromatic [pi]-[pi] stacking between the benzene rings from two different neighbouring phenol molecules [centroid-centroid distance = 4.0570 (11) Å] consolidates the crystal packing.
The synthesis and single crystal structure of a new cocrystal, which is composed of OHphenolic∙∙∙OHphenolic∙∙∙Naminalic supramolecular heterosynthons assembled from 4-tert-butylphenol and the macrocyclic aminal TATU, is presented. This cocrystal was prepared by solvent-free assisted grinding, which is a commonly used mechanochemical method. Crystal structure, supramolecular assembly through hydrogen bonding interactions as well as the physical and spectroscopic properties of the title cocrystal are presented in this paper.
The title compound, [Li3(C4F9O)3(C3H6O)3], features an open Li/O cube with an Li ion missing at one corner. Three of the four bridging O atoms of the cube carry a fluorinated tert-butyl residue, whereas the fourth is part of an acetone molecule. Two of the Li atoms are further bonded to a non-bridging acetone molecule. Two of the lithium ion coordination geometries are very distorted LiO4 tetrahedra; the third could be described as a very distorted LiO3 T-shape with two distant F-atom neighbours. The Li[cdots, three dots, centered]Li contact distances for the three-coordinate Li+ ion [2.608 (14) and 2.631 (12) Å] are much shorter that the contact distance [2.940 (13) Å] between the tetrahedrally coordinated species.

NHC supersilyl silver complex [Ag(IPr)SitBu3] as a promising agent for substitution reactions
(2020)
The NHC supersilyl silver complex [Ag(IPr)SitBu3] (IPr = NHCIPr) was prepared by treatment of Ag(IPr)Cl with Na(thf)2[SitBu3] in benzene/thf at room temperature. X‐ray quality crystals of the NHC supersilyl silver complex [Ag(IPr)SitBu3] (monoclinic, space group P21/m) were grown from heptane at room temperature. The 29Si NMR spectrum of a solution of [Ag(IPr)SitBu3] in C6D6 revealed two doublets caused by coupling to 107Ag and 109Ag nuclei. We further investigated the possibility of a conversion of triel halides EX3 by treatment with [Ag(IPr)SitBu3]. At ambient temperature the reaction of [Ag(IPr)SitBu3] with an excess of EX3 yielded tBu3SiEX2 (E = B, Al; X = Cl, Br; E = Ga; X = Cl) and IPr·EX3 (EX3 = BCl3, BBr3, AlCl3, AlBr3, GaCl3). The identity of tBu3SiEX2 and IPr·EX3 was confirmed by comparison with authentic samples.
Photolabile protecting groups are widely used to trigger oligonucleotide activity. The ON/OFF‐amplitude is a critical parameter. An experimental setup has been developed to identify protecting group derivatives with superior caging properties. Bulky rests are attached to the cage moiety via Cu‐catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition post‐synthetically on DNA. Interestingly, the decrease in melting temperature upon introducing o‐nitrobenzyl‐caged (NPBY‐) and diethylaminocoumarin‐cages (DEACM‐) in DNA duplexes reaches a limiting value. NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize individual base‐pair stabilities and determine experimental structures of a selected number of photocaged DNA molecules. The experimental structures agree well with structures predicted by MD simulations. Combined, the structural data indicate that once a sterically demanding group is added to generate a tri‐substituted carbon, the sterically less demanding cage moiety points towards the neighboring nucleoside and the bulkier substituents remain in the major groove.
A highly diastereoselective one-pot synthesis of the 1,3-diamino-2-alcohol unit bearing three continuous stereocenters is described. This method utilizes 2-oxyenamides as a novel type of building block for the rapid assembly of the 1,3-diamine scaffold containing an additional stereogenic oxygen functionality at the C2 position. A stereoselective preparation of the required (Z)-oxyenamides is reported as well.
The geometric parameters of the title compound, C8H6N2O·C6H3N3O7, are in the usual ranges. The three nitro groups are almost coplanar with the aromatic picrate ring [dihedral angles 10.2 (2)°, 7.62 (16) and 8.08 (17)°]. The molecular conformation of the picric acid is stabilized by an intramolecular O-H...O hydrogen bond.

The material consists of infinite chains of [Ag(C14H12N2O4)] units running along [001], held together by BF4 − bridging anions.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [K(C5HF6N2)(H2O)2]n, is composed of two 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolide anions, two potassium cations and four water molecules. The water molecules and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolide anions act as bridges between the potassium cations. Each potassium cation is surrounded by four O atoms [K—O = 2.705 (3)–2.767 (3) Å] and four F atoms [K—F = 2.870 (7)–3.215 (13) Å]. The water molecules and the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolide anions are connected by O—H ... N hydrogen bonds, forming layers in the ab plane. All –CF3 groups show rotational disorder between two orientations each.
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.
The title compound, C15H14N2O4, has a trans–gauche [O/C/C/C–O/C/C/C] (TG) conformation. The angle between the planes of aromatic rings is 76.4 (3)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals interactions and C—H ... O hydrogen bonds. The crystal used was a non-merohedral twin with a fractional contribution of the minor component of 0.443 (5).
The title compound. C15H14N2O4, (I), has a gauche–gauche (O/C/C/C—O/C/C/C or GG) conformation and is a positional isomer of propane-1,3-diyl bis(pyridine-3-carboxylate), (II). The molecule of (I) lies on a twofold rotation axis, which passes through the central C atom of the aliphatic chain, giving one half-molecule per asymmetric unit. There is excellent agreement of the geometric parameters of (I) and (II). The most obvious differences between them are the O/C/C/C—O/C/C/C torsion angles [56.6 (2)° in (I) and 174.0 (3)/70.2 (3)° in (II) for GG and TG conformations, respectively] and the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings [80.3 (10)° in (I) and 76.5 (3)° in (II)]. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H ... N and C—H ... O hydrogen bonding.
The title compound, C6H5NO2·C6H6O2, crystallizes with one pyridinium-2-carboxylate zwitterion and one molecule of benzene-1,2-diol in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure is characterized by alternating molecules forming zigzag chains running along the a axis: the molecules are connected by O—H ... O and N—H ... (O,O) hydrogen bonds.
The title compound, C23H32Cl2N2O2, a potential chiral ligand for coordination chemistry, was prepared by a two-step reaction. The molecule is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion. As a result, the methyl group bonded to the methylene group is disordered over two equally occupied positions, sharing the same site as the H atom of the chiral C atom. As a further consequence of the crystallographic centrosymmetry, the 1,2-diaminopropane unit adopts an antiperiplanar conformation and the two benzene rings are coplanar. The central chain is in an all-trans arrangement. An intramolecular O-H...N hydrogen bond makes an S(6) ring motif. A C-H...[pi] interaction links the molecules into one-dimensional chains along the [001] direction.
The crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C5H5)(CH3CN)(CO)2]BF4, of which only the coordinates of the non-H atoms of the cation have previously been reported [Fadel et al. (1979 [triangle]). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 453, 98–106] has been redetermined. The FeII atom in the complex cation is coordinated by a cyclopentadienyl ring, two carbonyl ligands and an acetonitrile molecule displaying a three-legged piano stool structure. Three of the four F atoms of the BF4 − anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with a site-occupancy factor of 0.709 (10) for the major occupied site.
The structure of the title compound, C8H16N4, which consists of four fused seven-membered rings, has been redetermined at 173 K. This redetermination corrects the orientation of two H atoms, which were located at unrealistic positions in the original room-temperature study [Murray-Rust (1974[Murray-Rust, P. (1974). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 1136-1141.]). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 1136–1141]. The complete molecule is generated by -42m symmetry, with one quarter of a molecule [one N atom (site symmetry m), two C atoms (one with site symmetry m and the other with site symmetry 2) and two H atoms] in the asymmetric unit. No directional interactions beyond van der Waals contacts are apparent in the crystal structure.
In contrast to the previous structure determinations of the title structure, (NH4)2[MoS4], the present determination at 173 K localized the positions of the H atoms. The title structure belongs to the beta-K2SO4 family and all the ions are located on crystallographic mirror planes. The ions are held together by N—H ... S hydrogen bonds (some of which are bifurcated), forming a three-dimensional network. One of the N atoms has nine contacts to the S atoms shorter than 4 Å, and the other has ten.
Pyrazolyl-substituted 1,4-dihydroxybenzene and 1,4-dihydroxynaphthene derivatives have been synthesized by reaction of 1,4-benzoquinone and 1,4-naphthoquinone, respectively, with pyrazole. Cyclovoltammetric measurements have shown that 1,4-benzoquinone possesses the potential to oxidize 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)- and 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroxybenzene. The 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)- 1,4-dihydroxybenzene reacts with air to give quantitatively black insoluble 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4- quinhydrone. Black crystals of 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-quinhydrone suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown from methanol at ambient temperature (monoclinic C2/c). The poor yields of pyrazolylsubstituted 1,4-dihydroxybenzene and 1,4-dihydroxynaphthene derivatives can be explained by the formation of insoluble black quinhydrons in the reaction of benzoquinone and naphthoquinone with pyrazole. The dianions of 2-(pyrazol-1-yl)- and 2,5-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroxybenzene react with oxygen to give the corresponding semiquinone anions. 2,5-Bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-1,4-benzoquinone shows two reversible one-electron reduction processes in cyclovoltammetric measurements, whereas pyrazolyl-substituted 1,4-dihdroxybenzene and -naphthene derivatives undergo irreversibile electrontransfer processes.
Remote control of the synthesis of a [2]rotaxane and its shuttling via metal‐ion translocation
(2019)
Remote control in an eight‐component network commanded both the synthesis and shuttling of a [2]rotaxane via metal‐ion translocation, the latter being easily monitored by distinct colorimetric and fluorimetric signals. Addition of zinc(II) ions to the red colored copper‐ion relay station rapidly liberated copper(I) ions and afforded the corresponding zinc complex that was visualized by a bright sky blue fluorescence at 460 nm. In a mixture of all eight components of the network, the liberated copper(I) ions were translocated to a macrocycle that catalyzed formation of a rotaxane by a double‐click reaction of acetylenic and diazide compounds. The shuttling frequency in the copper‐loaded [2]rotaxane was determined to k298=30 kHz (ΔH≠=62.3±0.6 kJ mol−1, ΔS≠=50.1±5.1 J mol−1 K−1, ΔG≠298=47.4 kJ mol−1). Removal of zinc(II) ions from the mixture reversed the system back generating the metal‐free rotaxane. Further alternate addition and removal of Zn2+ reversibly controlled the shuttling mode of the rotaxane in this eight‐component network where the ion translocation status was monitored by the naked eye.
SixGey alloys are emerging materials for modern semiconductor technology. Well-defined model systems of the bulk structures aid in understanding their intrinsic characteristics. Three such model clusters have now been realized in the form of the SixGey heteroadamantanes [0], [1], and [2] through selective one-pot syntheses starting from Me2GeCl2, Si2Cl6, and [nBu4N]Cl. Compound [0] contains six GeMe2 and four SiSiCl3 vertices, whereas one and two of the GeMe2 groups are replaced by SiCl2 moieties in compounds [1] and [2], respectively. Chloride-ion-mediated rearrangement quantitatively converts [2] into [1] at room temperature and finally into [0] at 60 °C, which is not only remarkable in view of the rigidity of these cage structures but also sheds light on the assembly mechanism.

Vicinally diiodinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (I2‐PAHs) are accessible from the corresponding diborylated B2‐PAHs through boron/iodine exchange. The B2‐PAHs have been prepared via twofold electrophilic borylation reactions templated by a vicinally disilylated benzene. Our protocol is applicable to fluorenes, acenes, annulated acenes, oligoaryls, and even [5]helicene. Using B2‐naphthalene as the example, we have shown that the reaction scope can, in principle, be expanded to include the synthesis of vicinally dibrominated and dihydroxylated PAHs. The usefulness of the building blocks provided by our method in the field of optoelectronic materials was demonstrated by the successful conversion of I2‐fluoranthene to the analogous doubly alkynylated fluoranthene emitter.
The crystal structure of the title compound, Na[(C6F5)BH3], is composed of discrete anions and cations. The sodium cations are surrounded by four anions with three short Na...B [2.848 (8), 2.842 (7) and 2.868 (8) Å] and two short Na...F contacts [2.348 (5) and 2.392 (5) Å], forming a three-dimensional network. The anion is the first structural example of a pentafluorophenyl ring carrying a BH3 group.
[MesnacnacZn(μ-H)]2 (1) was synthesized by reaction of MesnacnacZnI with either an equimolar amount of KNH(iPr)BH3 or an excess of NaH and characterized by multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as X-ray diffraction. Two polymorphs of 1 were found and their structures determined on single crystals.
The structure of the title compound, C14H12N2O2 {systematic name: 2,2′-[hydrazinediylidenebis(methanylylidene)]diphenol}, has already been determined in the triclinic space group P An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-68-0o255-efi1.jpg with Z = 4 [El-Medani, Aboaly, Abdalla & Ramadan (2004 [triangle]). Spectrosc. Lett. 37, 619–632]. However, the correct space group should be P21/c with Z = 4. This structure is a new polymorph of the already known monoclinic polymorph of salicyladehyde azine, which crystallizes in space group P21/n with Z = 2. The benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 46.12 (9)°. Two intramolucular O—H[cdots, three dots, centered]N hydrogen bonds occur.
Autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia share a substantial number of etiologic and phenotypic characteristics. Still, no direct comparison of both disorders has been performed to identify differences and commonalities in brain structure. In this voxel based morphometry study, 34 patients with autism spectrum disorder, 21 patients with schizophrenia and 26 typically developed control subjects were included to identify global and regional brain volume alterations. No global gray matter or white matter differences were found between groups. In regional data, patients with autism spectrum disorder compared to typically developed control subjects showed smaller gray matter volume in the amygdala, insula, and anterior medial prefrontal cortex. Compared to patients with schizophrenia, patients with autism spectrum disorder displayed smaller gray matter volume in the left insula. Disorder specific positive correlations were found between mentalizing ability and left amygdala volume in autism spectrum disorder, and hallucinatory behavior and insula volume in schizophrenia. Results suggest the involvement of social brain areas in both disorders. Further studies are needed to replicate these findings and to quantify the amount of distinct and overlapping neural correlates in autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia.
Benzene solutions of Me3SnCl when exposed to moisture yield the adduct Me3SnCl·Me3SnOH·H2O. This adduct represents an intermediate in Me3SnCl hydrolysis. The structure of Me3SnCl·Me3SnOH·H2O features an array of Me3Sn units connected alternatingly by bridging Cl and OH ligands.
Supersilylated tetrachlorodigermane (tBu3Si)Cl2GeGeCl2(SitBu3) and trigermoxetane (tBu3Si)3Ge3Cl3O
(2004)
In contrast to the tetrachlorodigermane (tBu3Si)Cl2Ge-GeCl2(SitBu3), the cis,transcyclotrigermane (tBu3SiGeCl)3 is sensitive to oxygen. Its treatment with O2 at ambient temperature leads to the trigermoxetane (tBu3Si)3Ge3Cl3O. According to an X-ray structure analysis of single crystals consisting of cocrystallized (tBu3Si)3Ge3Cl3O and (tBu3Si)Cl2Ge-GeCl2(SitBu3) the trigermaoxetane contains an almost planar Ge3O-ring while the tetrachlorodigermane (tBu3Si)Cl2Ge- GeCl2(SitBu3) possesses a Si-Ge-Ge-Si chain which is exactly all trans,
The supersilylated ethene trans-(tBu3Si)HC=CH(SitBu3) (triclinic, P ī) is accessible from the reaction of tBu3SiCHBr2 with nBuLi at −78 °C in THF or Et2 O. The reaction of Li(H2NCH2CH2NH2)C≡CH with tBu3SiBr leads to the formation of (tBu3Si)C≡CH and (tBu3Si)C≡C(SitBu3). X-Ray quality crystals of (tBu3Si)C≡C(SitBu3) (triclinic, P ī) were obtained by recrystallization from hexane. In contrast to the structures of the disilane tBu3Si-SitBu3 and the disiloxane tBu3Si-O-SitBu3, the sterically crowded ethene trans-(tBu3Si)HC=CH(SitBu3) and ethyne (tBu3Si)C≡C(SitBu3) feature dihedral angles of 60° in the solid-state structures.
The thermolabile triazenides M[tBu3SiNNNSiMetBu2] (M = Li, Na) are accessible from the reaction of tBu2MeSiN3 with the silanides MSitBu3 (M = Li, Na) at −78 °C in THF. At r. t. N2 elimination from the triazenides M[tBu3SiNNNSiMetBu2] (M = Li, Na) takes place with the formation of M[N(SiMetBu2)(SitBu3)] (M = Li, Na). X-Ray quality crystals of Li(THF)[N(SiMetBu2)(SitBu3)] (orthorhombic, Pna21) are obtained from a benzene solution at ambient temperature. In contrast to the structures of the unsolvated silanides MSitBu3 (M = Li, Na), the THF adduct Li(THF)3SitBu3 is monomeric in the solid state (orthorhombic, Pna21).
To examine their luminescence behavior, two air-stable BN addition compounds were synthesized by the reaction of 5-fluoro-2-(2′-pyridyl)indole with 1,4- and 1,3-bis(bromo(methyl)boryl)benzene, respectively. Both BN adducts are luminescent. Their emission maxima (1,3-substituted BN adduct: 495 nm; 1,4-substituted BN adduct: 497 nm) are comparable with the value (490 nm) of the related mono-borylated benzene species, which is composed of a BPh2 fragment and a 5-fluoro-2-(2′-pyridyl) indole unit. The starting materials 1,4- and 1,3-bis(bromo(methyl)boryl)benzene were accessible by treatment of 1,4- or 1,3-bis(dibromoboryl)benzene with two equivalents of SnMe4. In addition, the results of the X-ray structure analyses of the B,B′-bis-5-fluoro-2-(2′-pyridyl)indolyl-complexed meta-bismethylborylbenzene fragment (9, triclinic, P1̅) as well as of 5-chloro-2-(2′-pyridyl)indole (2, monoclinic, P21/c) and 5-fluoro-2-(2′-pyridyl)indole (1, orthorhombic, Pca21) are reported. The pyridylindole derivatives of this approach were synthesized by an optimized two-step procedure from 2-acetylpyridine and 4-fluoro- or 4-chlorophenylhydrazine hydrochloride.
The respiratory chain of Escherichia coli contains two different types of terminal oxidase that are differentially regulated as a response to changing environmental conditions. These oxidoreductases catalyze the reduction of molecular oxygen to water and contribute to the proton motive force. The cytochrome bo3 oxidase (cyt bo3) acts as the primary terminal oxidase under atmospheric oxygen levels, whereas the bd‐type oxidase is most abundant under microaerobic conditions. In E. coli, both types of respiratory terminal oxidase (HCO and bd‐type) use ubiquinol‐8 as electron donor. Here, we assess the inhibitory potential of newly designed and synthesized 3‐alkylated Lawson derivatives through L‐proline‐catalyzed three‐component reductive alkylation (TCRA). The inhibitory effects of these Lawson derivatives on the terminal oxidases of E. coli (cyt bo3 and cyt bd‐I) were tested potentiometrically. Four compounds were able to reduce the oxidoreductase activity of cyt bo3 by more than 50 % without affecting the cyt bd‐I activity. Moreover, two inhibitors for both cyt bo3 and cyt bd‐I oxidase could be identified. Based on molecular‐docking simulations, we propose binding modes of the new Lawson inhibitors. The molecular fragment benzyl enhances the inhibitory potential and selectivity for cyt bo3, whereas heterocycles reduce this effect. This work extends the library of 3‐alkylated Lawson derivatives as selective inhibitors for respiratory oxidases and provides molecular probes for detailed investigations of the mechanisms of respiratory‐chain enzymes of E. coli.
The title thiourea was synthesized by reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl isothiocyante with 3-fluoroaniline. The 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl isothiocyante was produced in situ by reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride with ammonium thiocyanate in dry acetonitrile. The structure was confirmed by the spectroscopic, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit cell dimensions a = 13.0966(9), b = 16.6460(13), c = 7.8448(5), β = 106.721(5)°, V 1637.9(2) ų, Z = 4.
Synthesis and crystal structure of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-1,3-diazinan-5-ol
(2022)
The redetermined structure of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-1,3-diazinan-5-ol, C26H30N2O4, at 173 K has orthorhombic (Pbca) symmetry. It was previously described by Bolte et al. [ Private Communication (refcode EWICEV). CCDC, Cambridge, England]. The title compound resulted from the condensation reaction between 1,3-bis{[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]amino}propan-2-ol and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde in CH3OH. The structure exhibits disorder. One of the 4-methoxybenzyl groups, the hydroxy group bonded to the 1,3-diazinan ring, and the methyl group of the methoxy residue are disordered over two orientations, with occupancies of 0.807 (3)/0.193 (3), 0.642 (5)/0.358 (5), and 0.82 (4)/0.18 (4), respectively. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the central 1,3-diazinan-5-ol and the 4-methoxyphenyl rings (both occupancy components of the disordered ring) are 88.65 (13), 85.79 (14) and 83.4 (7)°. The crystal packing is sustained by C—H...O and O—H...π interactions, giving rise to infinite chains running along the b-axis direction.
The title compound, [Tl4(C4H9O)4], featuring a (Tl—O)4 cube, crystallizes with a quarter-molecule (located on a special position of site symmetry An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-66-m1621-efi1.jpg..) and a half-molecule (located on a special position of site symmetry 23.) in the asymmetric unit. The Tl—O bond distances range from 2.463 (12) to 2.506 (12) Å. All O—Tl—O bond angles are smaller than 90° whereas the Tl—O—Tl angles are wider than a rectangular angle.
The title compound, [Li4O4(C12H8BO)4(C4H10O)4], features a Li4O4 cube. Each Li atom in the cube is additionally coordinated by a diethyl ether molecule and each O atom in the cube carries a 9-oxa-10-boraanthracene residue. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin [twin law (-1 0 0 / 0 0 1 / 0 1 0); the contribution of the major twin component refined to 0.553 (3)] emulating apparent tetragonal symmetry, whereas the actual crystal system is just orthorhombic.
The crystal structure of the title salt, [Li(CH3CN)4][B(NCS)4], is composed of discrete cations and anions. Both the Li and B atoms show a tetrahedral coordination by four equal ligands. The acetonitrile and isothiocyanate ligands are linear. The bond angles at the B atom are close to the ideal tetrahedral value [108.92 (18)–109.94 (16)°], but the bond angles at the Li atom show larger deviations [106.15 (17)–113.70 (17)°].
In the title compound, C40H76Si, the Si atom is located on a special position of site symmetry -4. Thus, there is just a quarter of a molecule in the asymmetric unit. The C=C double bonds exhibit a trans configuration. The Si atom and the tert-butyl group are located on the same side of the plane formed by the C=C double bond and its four substituents. The crystal packing shows no short contacts between the molecules and despite the low crystal density (0.980 Mg m−3), there are no significant voids in the structure.
Mol-ecules of the title compound, [Zn(8)(C(6)F(5))(8)O(4)(C(4)H(10)O)(4)], are located on a special position of site symmetry [Formula: see text]. As a result, there is just one quarter-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The title compound features a Zn(4)O(4) cube. Each Zn atom in the cube carries a pentafluorophenyl substituent. Each O atom is bonded to a further Zn atom, which is connected to a pentafluorophenyl substituent and the O atom of a diethyl ether mol-ecule. All ether C atoms are disordered over two sets of sites with a site occupation factor of 0.51 (2) for the major occupied site.
Double reduction of the THF adduct of 9H-9-borafluorene (1⋅THF) with excess alkali metal affords the dianion salts M2[1] in essentially quantitative yields (M=Li–K). Even though the added charge is stabilized through π delocalization, [1]2− acts as a formal boron nucleophile toward organoboron (1⋅THF) and tetrel halide electrophiles (MeCl, Et3SiCl, Me3SnCl) to form B−B/C/Si/Sn bonds. The substrate dependence of open-shell versus closed-shell pathways has been investigated.
The crystal structure of the title compound, hexa-μ2-bromido-μ4-oxido-tetrakis[(diethyl ether)magnesium], [Mg4Br6O(C4H10O)4], determined from data measured at 173 K, differs from the previously known structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide, which was determined from room-temperature data [Stucky & Rundle (1964 [triangle]). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 86, 4821–4825]. The title compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg, whereas the previously known structure crystallizes in a different tetragonal space group, namely P An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg21 c. Both molecules have crystallographic An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg symmetry and show almost identical geometric parameters for the Mg, Br and O atoms. The crystal of the title compound turned out to be a merohedral twin emulating a structure with apparent Laue symmetry 4/mmm, whereas the correct Laue group is just 4/m. The fractional contribution of the minor twin component converged to 0.462 (1).
Treatment of hexachloropropene (Cl2C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(Cl)–CCl3) with Si2Cl6 and [nBu4N]Cl (1 : 4 : 1) in CH2Cl2 results in a quantitative conversion to the trisilylated, dichlorinated allyl anion salt [nBu4N][Cl2C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(SiCl3)–C(SiCl3)2] ([nBu4N][1]). Tetrachloroallene Cl2C[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CCl2 was identified as the first intermediate of the reaction cascade. In the solid state, [1]− adopts approximate Cs symmetry with a dihedral angle between the planes running through the olefinic and carbanionic fragments of [1]− of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C–Si//Si–C–Si = 78.3(1)°. One-electron oxidation of [nBu4N][1] with SbCl5 furnishes the distillable blue radical 1˙. The neutral propene Cl2C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(SiCl3)–C(SiCl3)2H (2) was obtained by (i) protonation of [1]− with HOSO2CF3 (HOTf) or (ii) H-atom transfer to 1˙ from 1,4-cyclohexadiene. Quantitative transformation of all three SiCl3 substituents in 2 to Si(OMe)3 (2OMe) or SiMe3 (2Me) substituents was achieved by using MeOH/NMe2Et or MeMgBr in CH2Cl2 or THF, respectively. Upon addition of 2 equiv. of tBuLi, 2Me underwent deprotonation with subsequent LiCl elimination, 1,2-SiMe3 migration and Cl/Li exchange to afford the allenyl lithium compound Me3Si(Li)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(SiMe3)2 (Li[4]), which is an efficient building block for the introduction of Me, SiMe3, or SnMe3 (5) groups. The trisilylated, monochlorinated allene Cl3Si(Cl)C[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(SiCl3)2 (6), was obtained from [nBu4N][1] through Cl−-ion abstraction with AlCl3 and rearrangement in CH2Cl2 (1˙ forms as a minor side product, likely because the system AlCl3/CH2Cl2 can also act as a one-electron oxidant).
Structural and vibrational studies have been carried out for the most stable conformer of 3,3′-ethane-1,2-diyl-bis-1,3,5-triazabicyclo[3.2.1]octane (ETABOC) at the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(dp) level using the Gaussian 03 software. In light of the computed vibrational parameters, the observed IR Bolhmann bands for the C2V, C2, and Ci symmetrical structures of ETABOC have been analyzed. Hyperconjugative interaction was done by Natural Bond Orbital Analysis. Interpretation of hyperconjugative interaction involving the lone pairs on the bridgehead nitrogen atoms with the neighboring C–N and C–C bonds defines the conformational preference of the title compound. The recorded X-ray diffraction bond parameters were compared with theoretical values calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) and HF/6-31G(d,p) level of theory showed that ETABOC adopts a chair conformation and possesses an inversion center.
Background: Misconceptions about ADHD stigmatize affected people, reduce credibility of providers, and prevent/delay treatment. To challenge misconceptions, we curated findings with strong evidence base. Methods: We reviewed studies with more than 2000 participants or meta-analyses from five or more studies or 2000 or more participants. We excluded meta-analyses that did not assess publication bias, except for meta-analyses of prevalence. For network meta-analyses we required comparison adjusted funnel plots. We excluded treatment studies with waiting-list or treatment as usual controls. From this literature, we extracted evidence-based assertions about the disorder. Results: We generated 208 empirically supported statements about ADHD. The status of the included statements as empirically supported is approved by 80 authors from 27 countries and 6 continents. The contents of the manuscript are endorsed by 366 people who have read this document and agree with its contents. Conclusions: Many findings in ADHD are supported by meta-analysis. These allow for firm statements about the nature, course, outcome causes, and treatments for disorders that are useful for reducing misconceptions and stigma.
The donor-free silanimines tBu2Si=N-SiRtBu2 (R = tBu, Ph), which are prepared from tBu2ClSiN3 and NaSiRtBu2 at −78 ◦C inBu2O, decompose in benzene at room temperature with the formation of isobutene. Products of ene reactions of isobutene and tBu2Si=N-SiRtBu2 (R = tBu, Ph) are formed. X-Ray quality crystals of H2C=C(CH2SitBu2-NH-SiPhtBu2)2 (monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4) were grown from a benzene solution at ambient temperature, whereas single crystals of H2C=C(CH2SitBu2-NH-SitBu3)2 (monoclinic, space group P21, Z = 2) were obtained by recrystallization from THF.
The title complex, [PdCl2(C18H15P)2]·0.5C6H6, has the PdII ion in a square-planar coordination mode (r.m.s. deviation for Pd, P and Cl atoms = 0.024 Å) with the PPh3 and Cl ligands mutually trans. The benzene solvent molecule is located about a crystallographic inversion centre. The title complex is isostructural with trans-dichloridobis(triphenylphosphane)palladium(II) 1,4-dichlorobenzene sesquisolvate [Kitano et al. (1983 [triangle]). Acta Cryst. C39, 1015–1017].
Two salts of the 6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide anion with different cations
(2020)
The crystal structures are reported of the 6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide (or 9,9-difluoro-10-oxa-9-boraphenanthren-9-ide) anion with two different cations, namely, potassium 6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide, K+·C12H8BF2O−, (II), featuring a polymeric structure, and bis(tetraphenylphosphonium) bis(6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide) acetonitrile trisolvate, 2C24H20P+·2C12H8BF2O−·3CH3CN, (III), which is composed of discrete cations, anions and acetonitrile solvent molecules linked by C—H...O, C—H...N and C—H...F hydrogen bonds. There are only minor differences in the geometrical parameters of the anions in these structures.
Single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction of (tBu2P)3Ga (monoclinic, space group Cc) were obtained from GaCl3 and two equivalents of Li[PtBu2] at room temperature in benzene. The phosphanylgallane (tBu2P)3Ga was also produced via a one-pot approach by reaction of GaCl3 with three or more than three equivalents of Li[PtBu2]. However, treatment of one equivalent of GaCl3 with one equivalent of Li[PtBu2] and subsequent protolysis yielded [tBu2PH2][tBu2P(GaCl3)2 - Li(Cl3Ga)2PtBu2]. Single crystals of this phosphonium salt (monoclinic, space group Cc) were obtained from benzene at room temperature.
