Metallic Conductivity Down to 2 K in a Polyoxometalate-Containing Radical Salt of BEDO-TTF

Recognition-Directed Supramolecular Assemblies of Metal Complexes of Terpyridine Derived Ligands with Self-Complementary Hydrogen Bonding Sites
2000
The synthesis and X-ray structures of three metal complexes with terpyridine-derived ligands that contain amino-pyrimidine and amino-pyrazine moieties are presented. They have been designed in view of directing their self-assembly into specific supramolecular arrays through molecular recognition interactions. The solid-state structures indeed reveal extensive hydrogen-bonded networks. The Co complex 4a with PF6- counterions builds a two-dimensional infinite interwoven grid through strong double hydrogen bonds (d(N-H-N) =2.918-3.018 A) between the amino groups and the N atoms of the rings, with all H-bonding sites saturated. Changing the anions to BF4- in 4b leads to a similar infinite but p…
Anion-π Interaction: An Influential Force in Solid State Molecular Microstructures
2013
The crystal structures of simple triphenyl(pentafluorobenzyl)phosphonium salts provide crucial data on the influence of anion size on the molecular structure of bis(pentafluorobenzyl)phosphonium cations containing two adjacent electron-deficient moieties. Whereas the bromide anions interact by anion-π interaction in a 1:1 mode with the pentafluorobenzene unit Z-configured, the bulkier anions iodide, tetrafluoroborate, and hexafluorophosphate result in a 1:2 tweezer-like anti-configuration in which one anion interacts simultaneously with two pentafluorobenzene units. When spatial separation of the two electron-deficient rings match the size of the anion, anion-π interactions induce a conform…
Crystal Engineering Studies of the Complexes of Ethyl Resorcinarene with Aromatic Nitrogen Heterocycles
2003
Five X-ray structures of complexes of ethyl resorcinarene with aromatic nitrogen heterocycles (imidazole, 1,2,4-triazole, pyridine, pyrazine, 2-pyridylmethanol and quinoline) show that ethyl resorcinarene spontaneously forms molecular inclusion complexes with five- and six-membered aromatic nitrogen heterocycles via π π and CH π interactions. However, with 10-membered quinoline, no molecular inclusion complex is formed. Instead, quinoline manifests crystal lattice inclusion.
The subtle balance of weak supramolecular interactions: The hierarchy of halogen and hydrogen bonds in haloanilinium and halopyridinium salts
2010
The series of haloanilinium and halopyridinium salts: 4-IPhNH₃Cl (1), 4-IPhNH₃Br (5), 4-IPhNH₃H₂PO₄ (6), 4-ClPhNH₃H₂PO₄ (8), 3-IPyBnCl (9), 3-IPyHCl (10) and 3-IPyH-5NIPA (3-iodopyridinium 5-nitroisophthalate, 13), where hydrogen or/and halogen bonding represents the most relevant non-covalent interactions, has been prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This series was further complemented by extracting some relevant crystal structures: 4-BrPhNH3Cl (2, CCDC ref. code TAWRAL), 4-ClPhNH3Cl (3, CURGOL), 4-FPhNH3Cl (4, ANLCLA), 4-BrPhNH3H2PO4, (7, UGISEI), 3-BrPyHCl, (11, CIHBAX) and 3-ClPyHCl, (12, VOQMUJ) from Cambridge Structural Database for sake of comparison. Bas…
Co-crystals of an agrochemical active – A pyridine-amine synthon for a thioamide group
2011
Five novel co-crystals of thiophanate-ethyl (TE), an agrochemical active, with di(2-pyridyl)ketone (1), 2-benzoylpyridine (2), 3-benzoylpyridine (3), 4-phenylpyridine (4) and biphenyl (5) were found and crystal structures of four of them (TE1–TE3, TE5) solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Three of the co-crystals (TE1–TE3) form by way of a reliable pyridine-amine hydrogen bond synthon and one (TE5) because of close packing effects. The fifth co-crystal was identified by X-ray powder diffraction. The work demonstrates the usage of a reliable supramolecular synthon for crystal engineering, while concurrently reminds that the close packing of even very similar molecules cannot be fully …
6-Methyluracil: a redetermination of polymorph (II)
2019
6-Methyluracil, C5H6N2O2, exists in two crystalline phases: form (I), monoclinic, space group P21/c [Reck et al. (1988). Acta Cryst. A44, 417–421] and form (II), monoclinic, space group C2/c [Leonidov et al. (1993). Russ. J. Phys. Chem. 67, 2220–2223]. The structure of polymorph (II) has been redetermined providing a significant increase in the precision of the derived geometric parameters. In the crystal, molecules form ribbons approximately running parallel to the c-axis direction through N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The radical differences observed between the crystal packing of the two polymorphs may be responsible in form (II) for an increase in the contribution of the polar canonical forms…
Evidence of Weak Halogen Bonding: New Insights on Itraconazole and its Succinic Acid Cocrystal
2012
Exact knowledge of the crystal structure of drugs and lead compounds plays a significant role in the fields of crystal engineering, docking, computational modeling (drug–receptor interactions), and rational design of potent drugs in pharmaceutical chemistry. The succinic acid cocrystal of the systemic antifungal drug, itraconazole, reported by Remenar et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc.2003, 125, 8456–8457) (CSD: IKEQEU), represents one of the classical examples displaying a molecular fitting mechanism in the solid state. In this work, we disclose the X-ray single-crystal structure of the cis-itraconazole–succinic acid (2:1) cocrystal and found that it differs slightly from the previously reported st…
