Bis(glycylglycinium) oxalate at 100 K.
The structure of the title compound, 2C(4)H(9)N(2)O(3)(+).C(2)O(4)(2-), which has been determined by X-ray diffraction, contains discrete glycylglycine (HGly-Gly)(+) cations in general positions and oxalate anions which lie across centres of inversion. Although the geometry of the (HGly-Gly)(+) cation is not significantly different compared with other structures containing this residue, a few changes in conformation are observed which indicate the presence of molecular interactions. The molecular network in the crystal consists of one nearly linear O-H...O, five N-H...O and two weak C-H.O hydrogen bonds.
Intramolecular charge delocalization and nonlinear optical properties of Methyl 3-(4-methoxy phenyl) prop-2-enoate from vibrational spectra
The density functional computations of MMP are performed at B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) level to derive equilibrium geometry, vibrational wavenumbers and intensities, and first hyperpolarizability. Large NLO efficiency predicted for the first time in this new class of compounds has been confirmed by powder efficiency experiments. DFT calculation reveals that endocyclic angle at the junction of the propenoate group and the phenyl ring is decreased from 120° by 2.5°, whereas two neighbouring angles around the ring are increased by 2.1° and 1.2° respectively, associated with intramolecular charge transfer interaction. The vibrational spectra confirm the charge transfer interaction between -COOCH3 group…
