The crystal structure of tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate has been successfully elucidated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 ¯ with unit cell of dimensions a = 14.2706(7) Å, b = 20.6904(9) Å, c = 39.970(2) Å, α = 89.316(4)°, β = 88.638(4)°, and γ = 87.801(4)°. Although complicated by partial disorder, the structure has remarkable features where columns of some of the perchlorate anions running down [100] lie within what can be regarded as nanotubular entities formed by some of the tetrabutylammonium cations, while the remaining tetrabutylammonium cations lie in parallel columns surrounded by the remaining perchlorate anions, one entity being essentially the inverse of the other. Interactions within the structure have been characterized using Hirshfeld surface analysis and comparisons drawn with other unsolvated salts of the cation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for four lanthanide complexes, [Dy(bipy)
2 Cl2 (OH2 )2 ]Cl. H2 O (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine), 1; [La2 (phen)2 (O2 CCH3 )4 (NO3 )2 ] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), 2; [Lu(terpy)(O2 CCH3 )3 ]. NaNO3 (terpy = 2,2′;6′,2″-terpyridine) 3; and [Lu(phen)(O2 CH)3 (OH2 )]. H2 O, 4. Dispersion interactions within the stacked arrays of coordinated aza-aromatic units found in all four complexes appear to be a significant structural influence in the solid state. For complex 1, there are additional interactions beyond dispersion, which suggests that it may be the means whereby the Δ and Λ forms contribute to the overall chiral nature of the crystal. These weak intermolecular interactions were investigated in detail using the Hirshfeld surface analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The organic–inorganic lead halide hybrids comprising semiconducting perovskite components and organic modules have proven to be promising candidates for optoelectronic applications. The modulation of the inorganic components as optical centres by diverse organic cationic templates is under intense investigation. Herein, we successfully prepared new one-dimensional lead halide hybrid perovskites [L1]
2n [Pb2 Cl6 ]n∞ ·nH2 O (1) and [PbBr2 (L2)]n∞ ·0.5nH2 O (2), and the dimeric complex [PbBr2 (L3)]2 (3) in water media. In 1, 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2H-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinium cation [L1]+ resulted from the oxidative condensation–cyclization between formaldehyde, ethanolamine and 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde (2-PCA); the polydentate Schiff base ligands L2 and L3 formed in the in situ condensation of 2-PCA and ethanolamine or ethylenediamine, respectively. The lead chloride hybrid 1 contains the previously unreported type of a [Pb2 Cl6 ]∞ double chain constructed from three-edge- and five-edge-sharing PbCl6 octahedra, and cations forming π-bonded stacks aligned along the inorganic wires. In the crystal of 2, pairs of the double-side organically decorated [PbBr2 (L2)]∞ chains built of corner-sharing PbBr3 N2 O octahedra arrange hydrophilic channels to host water molecules. In the solid state, the identically stacked dimers of 3 form columns parallel to the ab plane with the Pb2 Br4 moieties in the column being strictly coplanar. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to rationalize the packing patterns through hydrogen bonds of O−H···O/Cl and C−H···O/Cl types with the involvement of OH groups of [L1]+ , L2 and water molecules in 1 and 2, as well as C–H∙∙∙Br hydrogen bonding in 2 and 3. The QTAIM analysis of non-covalent interactions in 1–3 was performed. According to the analysis of the solid-state UV–visible reflectance spectra by a Tauc plot, the optical band gap values of 1, 2 and 3 as direct gap semiconductors were estimated to be 3.36, 3.13 and 2.96 eV, respectively.

The hybrid salt bis(2-methylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-ium) hexachloridostannate( IV), (C
8 H9 N2 )2 [SnCl6 ], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 /n with the asymmetric unit containing an Sn0.5 Cl3 fragment (Sn site symmetry 1) and one organic cation. The five- and six-membered rings in the cation are nearly coplanar; bond lengths in the pyridinium ring of the fused core are as expected; the C--N/C bond distances in the imidazolium entity fall in the range 1.337 (5)-1.401 (5) Å. The octahedral SnCl6 2- dianion is almost undistorted with the Sn--Cl distances varying from 2.4255 (9) to 2.4881 (8) Å and the cis Cl--Sn--Cl angles approaching 90°. In the crystal, π-stacked chains of cations and loosely packed SnCl6 2- dianions form separate sheets alternating parallel to (101). Most of the numerous C--H• • •Cl--Sn contacts between the organic and inorganic counterparts with the H• • •Cl distances above the van der Waals contact limit of 2.85 Å are considered a result of crystal packing.

Quaternary phosphonium salts are popular candidates used in many chemical transformations and synthetic chemistry, notably in catalysis. We have examined the single crystals of two bulky phosphonium compounds, tetra([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl) phosphonium dicyanamide (C
48 H36 P+ ·N(CN)2 − , compound 1), and tetra([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl) phosphonium bromide hydrate (C48 H36 P+ ·Br− , CH3 CN, H2 O, compound 2), and herein report the structural properties for the compounds with an emphasis on the influence of the ion-ion interaction towards self-assembly; the overall self-assembly for both structures is very similar, with subtle differences in the cell parameters. The symmetrical tetra ([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl) phosphonium cations in both compounds self-assembled to form robust stacked columns in the solid-state, with voids occupied by anions or solvent molecules. Quantitative examination of intermolecular interactions using Hirshfeld surface analysis found that classical and non-classical hydrogen bonding appears to be the dominant contributor in stabilizing the self-assembly in both cases. The present work can not only benefit in understanding the mutual interaction between the sterically encumbered tetra ([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl) phosphonium cations and between counterions, but also provide insights for the self-assembled arrays in the solid-state.

Four ternary multi-component crystal structures comprising water-soluble p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene anion as the cavitand in the presence of different types of positively charged guest molecules comprising 1-butylimidazolium, 3,3′-(1,4-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(1-methylimidazolium), 3,3′,3′′-(benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(methylene))tris(1-methylimidazolium), or 3,3′,3′′,3′′′-(benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(methylene))tetrakis(1-methylimidazolium) and aquated lanthanide(III) ions (Gd(III) or Ce(III)) are reported. Careful crystallographic analysis shows that all positively charged imidazole rings are encapsulated by p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene for 1-butylimidazolium and 3,3′-(1,4-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(1-methylimidazolium), however, partial encapsulation was observed for 3,3′,3′′-(benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(methylene))tris(1-methylimidazolium) and 3,3′,3′′,3′′′-(benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrayltetrakis(methylene))tetrakis(1-methylimidazolium). The formation of a molecular capsule prevails in all structures regardless of the type of guest species. Supermolecules in three of the complexes self-assemble into a bilayer arrangement in the extended structure, whilst those involving p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene and 1-butylimidazolium form hydrated channels through alternative packing.

The title compound, [Fe(C
3 H7 NO)6 ][Cd2 Cl7 ], crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3̅ and is assembled from discrete [Fe(DMF)6 ]3+ cations (DMF = N,Ndimethylformamide) and [Cd2 Cl7 ]3- anions. In the cation, the iron(III) atom, located on a special position of 3̅ site symmetry, is coordinated by six oxygen atoms from DMF ligands with all Fe—O distances being equal [2.0072 (16) A˚ ]. A slight distortion of the octahedral environment of the metal comes from the cis O—Fe—O angles deviating from the ideal value of 90 [86.85 (7) and 93.16 (7)] whilst all the trans angles are strictly 180. The central Cl atom of the [Cd2 Cl7 ]3- anion is also located on a special position of 3̅ site symmetry and bridges two corner sharing, tetrahedrally coordinated CdII atoms. The two Cd atoms and the central Cl atom are colinear. The two sets of terminal chloride ligands on either side of the dumbbell-like anion are rotated relative to each other by 30. In the crystal, the cations and anions, stacked one above the other along the c-axis direction, are held in place principally by electrostatic interactions. There are also C—H...Cl and C—H...O interactions, but these are rather weak. Of the six crystal structures reported to date for ionic salts of [Fe(DMF)6 ]n+ cations (n = 2, 3), five contain FeII ions. The title compound is the second example of a stable compound containing the [Fe(DMF)6 ]3+ cation. The existence of both [Fe(DMF)6 ]2+ and [Fe(DMF)6 ]3+ cations shows that the DMF ligand coordination sphere can accommodate changes in the charge and spin states of the metal centre.

Two multi-component crystal structures comprising a carboxylic acid-functionalized imidazolium zwitterion, a p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene anion and aquated metal ion (Na+ or Y3+) with or without an auxiliary component (the 3-methoxyphenyl-triphenylphosphonium cation) are reported. The carboxylic acid-functionalized imidazolium ion binds either as a monodentate or a bidentate ligand depending on the nature of the metal ions, and a bi-layer arrangement prevails in the extended structure regardless of the type of metal ion employed or presence/lack of auxiliary component.

The monocation product of the oxidative condensation-cyclization between two molecules of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde and one molecule of CH
3 NH2 ·HCl in methanol, 2-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinium, was isolated in the presence of metal ions as bis[2-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-ium] tetraiodocadmate, (C13 H12 N3 )2 [CdI4 ], (I), and the mixed chloride/nitrate salt, bis[2-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-ium] 1.5-chloride 0.5-nitrate trihydrate, 2C13 H12 N3 + ·1.5Cl- ·0.5NO3 - ·3H2 O, (II). Hybrid salt (I) crystallizes in the space group P21 /n with two [L]2 [CdI4 ] molecules in the asymmetric unit related by pseudosymmetry. In the crystal of (I), layers of organic cations and of tetrahalometallate anions are stacked parallel to the ab plane. Antiparallel L+ cations disposed in a herring-bone pattern form π-bonded chains through aromatic stacking. In the inorganic layer, adjacent tetrahedral CdI4 units have no connectivity but demonstrate close packing of iodide anions. In the crystal lattice of (II), the cations are arranged in stacks propagating along the a axis; the one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymer built of chloride ions and water molecules runs parallel to a column of stacked cations.

The synthesis, characterization and use, as initiators for phenylacetylene polymerizations, of three new rhodium(I)‐vinyl complexes containing fluorenyl functionality with fluorine‐functionalized phosphine ligands is described. Rh(nbd)(CPh=CFlu)P(4‐FC6H4)3, Rh(nbd)(CPh=CFlu)P(4‐CF3C6H4)3, and Rh(nbd)(CPh=CFlu)P[3,5‐(CF3)2C6H3]3 (nbd: 2,5‐norbornadiene; Flu: fluorenyl) were prepared and isolated as discrete, orange compounds and were readily recrystallized yielding X‐ray quality crystals. All complexes were characterized by a combination of 1H, 31P, 19F, 103Rh NMR spectroscopy and 2D 31P‐103Rh/31P‐103Rh{103Rh} heteronuclear multiple‐quantum correlation (HMQC) experiments, elemental analysis, and single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The complexes were active as initiators in the co‐ordination insertion polymerization of phenylacetylene, with initiation efficiencies spanning the range 13–56 %, and yielded polyphenylacetylenes of low dispersity (Ð = Mw/Mn) with high cis‐transoidal stereoregularity. Three new well‐defined, isolated rhodium(I) vinyl complexes containing fluorenyl functionality in combination with fluorine functionalized phosphine ligands are presented. All complexes are shown to be active as initiators for phenylacetylene yielding highly stereoregular polymers with a cis‐transoidal structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After a long history of use as a prototype cysteine protease inhibitor, the crystal structure of loxistatin acid (E64c) is finally determined experimentally using intense synchrotron radiation, providing insight into how the inherent electronic nature of this protease inhibitor molecule determines its biochemical activity. Based on the striking similarity of its intermolecular interactions with those observed in a biological environment, the electrostatic potential of crystalline E64c is used to map the characteristics of a pseudo-enzyme pocket.

Adducts of the form Ln(pic)3(tmp)3 (Ln = lanthanide(iii); pic = picrate = 2,4,6-trinitrophenoxide; tmp = trimethylphosphate, (MeO)3PO) have been prepared for extremal Ln = La, Lu and some intermediate members, also Y, and characterised by single crystal X-ray structure determinations as unsolvated, mononuclear, molecular species. The lanthanide atom has nine-coordinate, tri-capped trigonal prismatic stereochemistry in all cases, the picrate components behaving as O , O ′-bidentate ligands chelating through the phenoxy- and an adjacent O -nitro oxygen atom, thus: [Ln(tmp- O)3(pic- O , O ′)3]. Two isomeric forms are found, one mer in which the three unidentate tmp- O ligands coordinate in cis -sites spanning the upper and lower triangles and a capping site of the coordination sphere, and fac , in which all three unidentate ligands occupy the mutually cis -sites of one triangular face. The mer isomer has been described as an isomorphous series in a monoclinic P 21/ c , Z 4, form, for Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Lu, and Y, presumptively accessible for the full gamut of Ln. The fac -isomer also crystallises in a monoclinic P 21/ c form, Z 8, two independent molecules of similar stereochemistry here comprising the asymmetric unit and described for Ln = Eu, Lu(isomorphous); it has also been described in a triclinic P CH19176_IE1.gif , Z 2 form for Ln = La. Trimethylphosphate (tmp) is the first of a series of related O-donor solvates of lanthanide(III) picrates to give isomeric mer- and fac- [Ln(pic)3(tmp)3] complexes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
