Crystal structure and absolute configuration of (4S,5R,6S)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-methylcyclohex-2-enone (gabosine H)

The absolute configuration of the title compound, determined as 4S,5R,6S on the basis of the synthetic pathway, was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mol­ecule is formed by a substituted six-membered cyclo­hexene ring adopting an envelope conformation and substituted by carbonyl, methyl and hydroxyl groups. The supra­molecular structure is mainly built by a combination of O—H⋯O and weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Water Dissociation of a Dinuclear Bis(3,5‐dimethylpyrazolyl)methane Copper(II) Complex: X‐ray Diffraction Structure, Magnetic Properties, and Characteristic Absorption of the (CuN 2 Cl 2 ) 2 Core

Crystal structure and absolute configuration of (3aR,3′aR,7aS,7′aS)-2,2,2′,2′-tetramethyl-3a,6,7,7a,3′a,6′,7′,7′a-octahydro-4,4′-bi[1,3-benzodioxolyl], obtained from a Pd-catalyzed homocoupling reaction

The absolute configuration,i.e.(3aR,3′aR,7aS,7′aS), of the title compound, C18H26O4, synthesizedviaa palladium-catalyzed homocoupling reaction, was determined on the basis of the synthetic pathway and was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The homocoupled molecule is formed by two chemically identical moieties built up from two five- and six-membered fused rings. The supramolecular assembly is controlled mainly by C—H...O interactions that lead to the formation of hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules along the [001] direction, while weak dipolar interactions and van der Waals forces hold the chains together in the crystal structure.

Intermolecular interaction energies and magnetic properties of spin-isolated multinuclear CuII complexes

Dinuclear CuII complexes with 3,5-dinitrobenzoates and 2,2′-bipyridine (2) or 1,10-phenanthroline (3) were synthesized and characterized. A complete energy framework analysis using the HF/3-21G energy model was performed which found that dispersion forces and C—H...O interactions are responsible for the crystal structure features. The magnetic properties of the complexes show a weak magnetic exchange between spins, resulting in low exchange constants of −2.72 (1) cm−1 and −1.10 (1) cm−1 for complexes (2) and (3), respectively. This results from the low overlap between magnetic orbitals induced by 3,5-dinitrobenzoate bridges and the arrangement of the magnetic orbitals. Consequently, the din…
