A Simple Complex on the Verge of Breakdown: Isolation of the Elusive Cyanoformate Ion
2014
Cyanide Hitches a Ride Cyanide is a by-product of the biosynthesis of ethylene in plants and it has been somewhat puzzling how the ion is safely removed before it can shut down enzymatic pathways by coordination to catalytic iron centers. A proposed mechanism has implicated the cyanoformate ion—essentially, a weak adduct of cyanide and carbon dioxide—as the initial product, although its lifetime was uncertain. Murphy et al. (p. 75 ; see the Perspective by Alabugin and Mohamed ) crystallized this previously elusive adduct and found that its solution-phase stability varies inversely with the dielectric properties of the medium. The results bolster a picture in which the adduct shuttles the cy…
1-[(1R,2S,4R,7S)-3,3-Dichloro-4,11,11-trimethyltricyclo[5.4.0.02,4]undecan-7-yl]ethanone
2017
The title compound, C16H24Cl2O, crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Each molecule is built up from two fused six-membered rings, one of which is fused to a three-membered ring. The two molecules differ essentially in the orientation of two of the methyl groups. The dihedral angles between the mean planes through the two six-membered rings are 57.98 (13) and 55.29 (13)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds.
N-(6-Methylpyridin-2-yl)mesitylenesulfonamide and acetic acid--a salt, a cocrystal or both?
2015
In the solid obtained fromN-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)mesitylenesulfonamide and acetic acid, the constituents interactviatwo N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The H atom situated in one of these short contacts is disordered over two positions: one of these positions is formally associated with an adduct of the neutral sulfonamide molecule and the neutral acetic acid molecule, and corresponds to a cocrystal, while the alternative site is associated with salt formation between a protonated sulfonamide molecule and deprotonated acetic acid molecule. Site-occupancy refinements and electron densities from difference Fourier maps suggest a trend with temperature, albeit of limited significance; the cocrystal i…
Crystal structure of bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalenium μ2-acetato-bis[tribromidorhenate(III)] 1,1,2-trichloroethane hemisolvate
2016
The crystal structure of a binuclear monocarboxylato dirhenium(III) complex with a fulvalene derivative is reported. This compound represents a radical cation salt containing a cluster unit with rhenium–rhenium quadruple bond.
Crystal structure of a mixed-valence μ-oxide Sn12 cluster
2014
The mixed-valence μ-oxide Sn12cluster, decacarbonyltetra-μ4-oxido-hexa-μ3-oxido-tetrakis[μ-2,2′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(1,1-diphenylethanolato)]decatin(II)ditin(IV)dimolybdenum(O)(2Mo—Sn) toluene heptasolvate, [Mo2Sn12(C33H27NO2)4O10(CO)10]·7C7H8, has a crystallographically imposed inversion centre. The asymmetric unit also contains three and a half toluene solvent molecules, one of which is disordered about a centre of symmetry. The complex molecule comprises six distinct Sn atom species with four different coordination numbers, namely 3, 4, 5, and 6. The SnIIatoms forming the central Sn10O10core adopt distorted trigonal–pyramidal, square-pyramidal and octahedral coordination geometries pro…
Crystal structure of 5′′-benzylidene-1′-methyl-4′-phenyltrispiro[acenaphthylene-1,2′-pyrrolidine-3′,1′′-cyclohexane-3′′,2′′′-[1,3]dioxane]-2,6′′-dione
2016
In the title trispiro compound, both the methyl-substituted pyrrolidine and dioxalane rings adopt a twist conformation. The cyclopentanone ring of the acenapthylen-1-one system adopts flattened envelope conformation, and the cyclohexanone attached to the dioxalane ring adopts boat conformation. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related molecules are linked into dimers forming rings of (10) graph-set motif, which are further connected into chains parallel to the b axis by C—H⋯O contacts forming rings of (8) graph-set motif.
Structure and phase transitions in ethylenediammonium dichloride and its salts with antimony trichloride
2000
During the mixing of ethylenediammonium dichloride and antimony trichloride except of reported earlier [NH3(CH2)2NH3]5(Sb2Cl11)2 · 4 H2O a new salt [NH3(CH2)2NH3](SbCl4)2 was obtained. The crystals are monoclinic at 295 K, space group C2/m, a = 13.829(3), b = 7.408(1), c = 7.588(2) Å; β = 103.18(3)°; V = 756.9(3) Å3; Z = 2; dc = 2.585, dm = 2.56(2) g · cm–3. The structure consists of anionic sublattice built of Sb2Cl82– units composed of two SbCl52– square pyramids connected by edge. The ethylenediammonium cations are located in anionic cavities. The cations are disordered. Each methylene carbon atom is split between two positions. The X‐ray diffraction, DSC, TGA and dilatometric methods we…
Mono‐ and Bis(imidazolidinium ethynyl) Cations and Reduction of the Latter To Give an Extended Bis‐1,4‐([3]Cumulene)‐p-carboquinoid System
2017
An extended π-system containing two [3]cumulene fragments separated by a p-carboquinoid and stabilized by two capping N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been prepared. Mono- and bis(imidazolidinium ethynyl) cations have also been synthesized from the reaction of an NHC with phenylethynyl bromide or 1,4-bis(bromoethynyl)benzene. Cyclic voltammetry coupled with synthetic and structural studies showed that the dication is readily reduced to a neutral, singlet bis-1,4-([3]cumulene)-p-carboquinoid as a result of the π-accepting properties of the capping NHCs. peerReviewed
Synthesis and self-assembly of a PEGylated-graphene aerogel
2016
Abstract In the frame of this work, we present, for the first time, the synthesis and self-assembly of an aerogel built by graphene oxide-polyethylene glycol. The synthetic route involves at first the coupling of GO with an amino-terminated polyethylene glycol sample by carbodiimide in aqueous environment, and the subsequent conversion of the hydrogel achieved into an aerogel via freeze-drying. The 3D PEGylated graphene-based aerogel, characterized by spectroscopic, morphological, structural and mechanical analyses, displays an ultralight and highly porous (99.7%) network and possesses high mechanical properties together with a good biocompatibility.
Synthesis and characterization of ethylene-1-hexene copolymers prepared by using MgCl2(THF)2-supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts
2000
Ethylene was copolymerized with 1-hexene over vanadium (VOCl3 and VCl4) and titanium (TiCl4) catalysts supported on MgCl2(THF)2 and activated with Et2AlCl. So far these catalyst systems have not been known as initiators of ethylene-1-hexene copolymerization. The vanadium catalysts were more active than the titanium catalyst and, at identical comonomer concentrations in the feed, gave rise to a greater incorporation of 1-hexene into the copolymer. Even at relatively low fractions of 1-hexene, the MgCl2(THF)2-supported catalysts affected much the copolymer properties like density, melting point and crystallinity.
