Efficient synthesis and structural analysis of new dioxopiperazine isoquinolines
2006
Abstract We report herein the synthesis of new dioxopiperazine isoquinolines using the Pictet–Spengler cyclisation. Our synthetic strategy for the preparation of two new compounds ( 5 , 6 ), with a tetrahydro-6H-pyrazino[1,2-b]isoquinoline-1,4-dione moiety was developed in only four steps. To understand better the crucial step of the synthesis reported here, theoretical calculations using semiempirical (PM3), ab initio and DFT computations were carried out on a reduced system model. The structure of chlorohydrate water solvate of tetrahydro (2-piperidinylethyl)-6H-pyrazino [1,2-b]isoquinoline-1,4-dione ( 6·HCl·2H2O ) was determined by X-ray diffraction. Theoretical calculations (RHF/3-21G a…
Computational chemistry meets experiments for explaining the geometry, electronic structure, and optical properties of Ca10V6O25
2018
In this paper, we present a combined experimental and theoretical study to disclose, for the first time, the structural, electronic, and optical properties of Ca10V6O25 crystals. The microwave-assisted hydrothermal (MAH) method has been employed to synthesize these crystals with different morphologies, within a short reaction time at 120 °C. First-principle quantum mechanical calculations have been performed at the density functional theory level to obtain the geometry and electronic properties of Ca10V6O25 crystal in the fundamental and excited electronic states (singlet and triplet). These results, combined with the measurements of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinements, confirm…
Structural characterization of Nigerian coals by X-ray diffraction, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy
2010
Abstract The structural parameters of six Nigerian coals were determined by X-ray diffraction, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. This study reveals that the coals contain crystalline carbon of turbostratic structure with some amount of highly disordered amorphous carbon. The average lateral sizes ( L a ), stacking heights ( L c ) and interlayer spacing ( d 002 ) of the crystallite structures calculated from the X-ray intensities range from 16.47 to 25.70, 8.12 to 13.25 and 3.48 to 3.58 A, respectively. The L a values derived from the Raman spectra analyses using the classical linear relationship between 1/ L a and the D/G band ratio are higher (27.53–34.67 A) than values obtained from X-ray diff…
Crystal structure analysis of a star-shaped triazine compound: a combination of single-crystal three-dimensional electron diffraction and powder X-ra…
2017
The solid-state structure of star-shaped 2,4,6-tris{(E)-2-[4-(dimethylamino)-phenyl]ethenyl}-1,3,5-triazine is determined from a powder sample by exploiting the respective strengths of single-crystal three-dimensional electron diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction data. The unit-cell parameters were determined from single crystal electron diffraction data. Using this information, the powder X-ray diffraction data were indexed, and the crystal structure was determined from the powder diffraction profile. The compound crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric space group,P212121. The molecular conformation in the crystal structure was used to calculate the molecular dipole moment of 3.22 Debye,…
QTAIM View of Metal-Metal Bonding in Di- and Trinuclear Disulfido Carbonyl Clusters
2012
The experimental and theoretical charge densities in the sulfido-bridged cluster compounds Fe2(μ-S2)(CO)6 (1), Fe3(μ3-S)2(CO)9 (2), Mn2(μ-S2)(μ-CO)(CO)6 (3), and Fe2(μ-S2)(CO)5(PPh3) (4) have been studied using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) methodology. High-resolution X-ray diffraction data have been measured for compounds 2–4 at 100 K. The topological analyses show that only in compounds 1 and 4 is there any evidence for metal–metal bonding in terms of the presence of a bond path. For compound 1, the topology of the Fe2S2 cage is highly dependent on the Fe–Fe separation, and the deformation along this vector is an extremely soft mode. The experimentally observed topolog…
The influence of the cation on the conformation of the anion μ-hydridobis[pentacarbonylchromium(0)]: crystal and molecular structure of [(phenH)2Cl][…
1999
Abstract The crystal and molecular structures of [(phenH)2Cl][Cr2(CO)10(μ-H)] (1) and [K(phen)2][Cr2(CO)10(μ-H)] (2) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The availability of the potassium cation for the carbonyl oxygens coordination influences the conformation of the anion in 2 as demonstrated by the comparison with the non-coordinating [(phenH)2Cl] cation in 1 and with literature data.
Powder X-Ray Diffraction Investigation of Xylazine Hydrochloride Solid Phase Transformation Kinetics
2013
The kinetics of the solid-state phase transformation of xylazine hydrochloride form X to A has been investigated using powder X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. Three different kinetic models have been used to describe transition kinetics: the Avrami–Erofeev equation, the Cardew equation, and the methodology for simulation of solid-state phase transition kinetics by the combination of nucleation and nuclei growth processes. The latter has been recently developed and has been tested in this paper for the case of a real solid-state transition. The relative humidity, mechanical pressure, temperature, and sample-preparation effect on phase-transition kinetics have been investi…
Columnar supramolecular architecture of crystals of 2-(4-Iodophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline derived from values of intermolecular interaction energy
2011
Using results of X-ray diffraction study supramolecular architecture of crystals of 2-(4-iodophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline has been analyzed on the basis of quantum-chemical calculations of intermolecular interactions energy. It is demonstrated that these crystals have three levels of organization. Molecules form stacked dimers with the highest binding energy (first level). These dimers represent basic unit of infinite columns stabilized by stacking interactions between dimers (second level). The energy of intermolecular interactions between neighbouring stacked columns is very close. This does not allow to figure out any layers in the crystal. Therefore crystals of this compound have columna…
Behaviour of the non-linear optical material KTiOPO4in the temperature range 293-973 K studied by x-ray diffractometry at high resolution: alkaline d…
1999
The crystal structure of potassium titanyl phosphate, KTiOPO4 (space group Pna21), has been refined at room temperature, at 673 K, and at 973 K, by using accurate single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques at high resolution (dmin = 0.35 A). The data show a large amount of anharmonic motion of the potassium ions, increasing with temperature. To describe this motion, two models are developed: a normal refinement including potassium anharmonic thermal displacement parameters, which describes the average motion of the alkaline sites, and another model in which the potassium sites are split within the harmonic approximation and the displacements of the potassium ions versus temperature are des…
ATR-FTIR and XRD quantification of solid mixtures using the asymptotic constant ratio (ACR) methods. Application to geological samples of sodium and …
2019
Two asymptotic constant ratio methods applied to the quantification of individual components of solid samples using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are described. The methods involve the measurement of the peak current/peak areas of selected signals (diffraction peaks in XRD and absorption bands in ATR-FTIR) relative to the signal of standard added in constant proportion to the sample and the sample enriched with the analyte following the usual standard additions methodology. The proposed method compensates the absorption effects appearing in XRD and the presence of overlapping absorption bands of interferents by me…
