Two metastable high hydrates of energetic material 3,3 ′ ,5,5 ′ -tetranitro-4,4 ′ -bipyrazole
Poly-stoichiometry of hydrated phases is relatively uncommon for organic materials and extended libraries of such species adopting different aqua-to-substrate ratios are still rare. The kinetically controlled higher hydrates could be particularly interesting for their structural relationships, which presumably may imprint some features of the substrate/substrate and aqua/substrate bonding in solutions, and provide insights into the nucleation stage. Two metastable high hydrates are prepared by crash crystallization. The crystal structures of 3,3 ′ ,5,5 ′ -tetranitro-4,4 ′ -bipyrazole tetrahydrate, C6H2N8O8 · 4H2O, (...

The ternary germanide Mg5.57Ni16Ge7.43 (cubic, space group Fm\overline{3}m, cF116) belongs to the structural family based on the Th6Mn23-type. The Ge1 and Ge2 atoms fully occupy the 4a (m\overline{3}m symmetry) and 24d (m.mm) sites, respectively. The Ni1 and Ni2 atoms both fully occupy two 32f sites (.3m symmetry). The Mg/Ge statistical mixture occupies the 24e site with 4m.m symmetry. The structure of the title compound contains a three-core-shell cluster. At (0,0,0), there is a Ge1 atom which is surrounded by eight Ni atoms at the vertices of a cube and consequently six Mg atoms at the vertices of an octahedron. These su...

Borotropic shifting of the [hydrotris(2 ′ -furyl)pyrazol-1-yl]borate ligand in high-coordinate lanthanide complexes
The coordination of hydrotris[3-(2 ′ -furyl)pyrazol-1-yl]borate (Tp2-Fu, C21H16BN6O3) to lanthanide(III) ions is achieved for the first time with the complex [Ln(Tp2-Fu)2](BPh4) · xCH2Cl2 (1-Ln has Ln   = Ce and x   = 2; 1-Dy has Ln   = Dy and x   = 1). This was accomplished via both hydrous (Ln   = Ce) and anhydrous methods (Ln   = Dy). When isolating the dysprosium analogue, the filtrate produced a second crop of crystals which were revealed to be the 1,2-borotropic-shifted product [Dy( κ 4-Tp2-Fu)( κ 5-Tp2-Fu*)](BPh4) (2) {Tp2-Fu*   = hydrobis[3-(2 ′ -furyl)pyrazol-1-yl][5-(2 ′ -furyl)pyrazol-1-yl]borate...

Synthesis and crystal structure of an iron triazole complex resulting from the unexpected ligand cleavage of a triazolium carbene precursor
Typically reactions of N-heterocyclic carbenes with transition metals are straightforward and require a carbene salt, a base strong enough to deprotonate such a salt and a metal. Yet when carbene precursors are in the form of triazolium salts, reaction may not proceed as easily as expected. In our work, we intended to obtain a triazolylidene complex of iron(II) chloride, but due to the presence of small amounts of water in the tetrahydrofuran solvent used, bis(acetonitrile)tetrakis(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole- κ N4)iron(II) μ -oxido-bis[trichloridoferrate(III)] acetonitrile disolvate, [Fe(C9H9N3)4(CH3CN)2][Fe2Cl6O] · 2CH...

Three polymorphs of a new N,N ′ -dipropylated isoindigo derivative
A newly synthesized N,N ′ -dipropyl-substituted isoindigo derivative, namely, 1-propyl-3-(1-propyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-3H-indol-3-ylidene)-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one, C22H22N2O2, was found to have three polymorphic forms (denoted Forms I, II and III) under various crystallization conditions. Crystal structure analysis indicated that Form III had a significantly different molecular conformation from the other two polymorphs. Their different packing arrangements were correlated with differences in the intermolecular interactions. Thermal measurements revealed that Forms I and II are enantiotropically related, and Form II exh...

Crystal structure, intermolecular interactions, charge – density distribution and ADME properties of the acridinium 4-nitrobenzoate and 2-amino-3-methylpyridinium 4-nitrobenzoate salts: a combined experimental and theoretical study
Acridines are a class of bioactive agents which exhibit high biological stability and the ability to intercalate with DNA; they have a wide range of applications. Pyridine derivatives have a wide range of biological activities. To enhance the properties of acridine and 2-amino-3-methylpyridine as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), 4-nitrobenzoic acid was chosen as a coformer. In the present study, a mixture of acridine and 4-nitrobenzoic acid forms the salt acridinium 4-nitrobenzoate, C13H10N+ · C7H4NO4 − (I), whereas a mixture of 2-amino-3-methylpyridine and 4-nitrobenzoic acid forms the salt 2-amino-3-methylp...

Crystal structure and analytical profile of 1,2-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidin-1-ylethanone hydrochloride or ` α -D2PV': a synthetic cathinone seized by law enforcement, along with its diluent sugar, myo-inositol
A confiscated package of street drugs was characterized by the usual mass spectral (MS) and FT – IR analyses. The confiscated powder material was highly crystalline and was found to consist of two very different species, accidentally of sizes convenient for X-ray diffraction. Thus, one each was selected and redundant complete sets of data were collected at 100   K using Cu K α radiation. The selected crystals contained: (a) 1,2-diphenyl-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethanone hydrochloride hemihydrate or 1-(2-oxo-1,2-diphenylethyl)pyrrolidin-1-ium chloride hemihydrate, C18H20NO+ · Cl − · 0.5H2O, (I), a synthetic cathinone cal...

Oxygen quenching of structurally characterized [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-fluoro-2,6-dimethylphenyl)porphyrinato]platinum(II)
The compound [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-fluoro-2,6-dimethylphenyl)porphyrinato]platinum(II), [Pt(C52H40F4N4)] or Pt(II)TFP, has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The Pt porphyrin exhibits a long-lived phosphorescent excited state ( τ 0   = 66   µ s), which has been characterized by transient absorption and emission spectroscopy. The phosphorescence is extremely sensitive to oxygen, as reflected by a quenching rate constant of 5.0   × 108   M − 1   s − 1, and as measured by Stern – Volmer quenching analysis.

Isostructural behaviour in ammonium and potassium salt forms of sulfonated azo dyes
The structures of five ammonium salt forms of monosulfonated azo dyes, derivatives of 4-(2-phenyldiazen-1-yl)benzenesulfonate, with the general formula [NH4][O3S(C6H4)NN(C6H3)RR ′ ] · XH2O [R = OH, NH2 or N(C2H4OH)2; R ′ = H or OH] are presented. All form simple layered structures with alternating hydrophobic (organic) and hydrophilic (cation, solvent and polar groups) layers. To assess for isostructural behaviour of the ammonium cation with M+ ions, the packing of these structures is compared with literature examples. To aid this comparison, the corresponding structures of four potassium salt forms of the monosulfona...
