Fullerene encapsulation has been comprehensively studied by NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Exohedral functionalization of encapsulated C60 via threefold Prato reaction revealed high selectivity for the symmetry-matched all-trans-3 addition pattern.</p></div></div></div>

1,3-Diisobutyl thiourea was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It gives a monoclinic (α=γ= 90 andβ  ≠90) structure with the space group P21/c. The unit cell dimensions area= 11.5131 (4) Å,b= 9.2355 (3) Å,c= 11.3093 (5) Å,α= 90°,β= 99.569° (2),γ= 90°,V= 1185.78 (8) Å3, andZ= 4. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular (N–H⋯S) hydrogen bonding in the molecules. The optimized geometry and Mullikan's charges of the said molecule calculated with the help of DFT using B3LYP-6-311G model support the crystal structure.

AbstractL-cysteine hydrogen fluoride (LCHF) single crystals were grown from aqueous solution. Single crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, UV-Vis-NIR, and TG-DTA were used to test the grown crystals. The specimen dielectric and mechanical behaviors were also studied. Powder X-ray diffraction of the grown crystal was recorded and indexed. The optical properties of the LCHF crystal were determined using UV-Vis spectroscopy. It was found that the optical band gap of LCHF was 4.8 eV. The crystal functional groups were identified using FT-IR. Second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the LCHF was three times higher than that of KDP. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity were measured at different frequencies and temperatures.

The metalation of several free base porphyrins by the bismuth salts Bi(NO3)3 and Bi(SO3CF3)3 in DMF or pyridine is described. The resulting stable Bi(III) porphyrin complexes are characterized by electrochemistry, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The structure of ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) was also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and shows that ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) exists as a dimer which is stabilized by electrostatic interactions in which the two [(OEP)Bi]+ cations are linked via oxygen atoms of two symmetrically related [Formula: see text] anions, leading to a heptacoordinated bismuth center. Electrochemical oxidation of ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) and ( T p TP ) Bi ( SO3CF3 ) shows that only the porphyrin macrocycles are oxidized.

A new copper(II) complex [Cu(L1)(NCS)(CH3OH)] (1) and a new zinc(II) complex [ZnCl2(HL2)] · CH3OH (2), derived from 4-bromo-N’-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)benzohydrazide (HL1) and 4-methoxy-N’-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)benzohydrazide (HL2), were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The hydrazone HL1 coordinates to the Cu atom in enolate form, while the hydrazone HL2 coordinates to the Zn atom in carbonyl form. Single crystal structural analyses indicate that the hydrazones coordinate to the metal atoms through the pyridine N, imino N, and enolate/carbonyl O atoms. The Cu atom in complex 1 is in square pyramidal coordination, and the Zn atom in complex 2 is in trigonal-bipyramidal coordination. The inhibitory effects of the complexes on Jack bean urease were studied, which show that the copper complex has strong activity on urease.

Abstract: Binuclear double end-on azido bridged Ni(II) complex (1) with composition [Ni2L2(?-1,1-N3)2(N3)2]?6H2O, (L = (E)-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-2-(2- -(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)ethan-1-amin) was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. Ni(II) ions are hexacoordinated with the tridentate heteroaromatic hydrazone-based ligand and three azido ligands (one terminal and two are end-on bridges). DFT calculations revealed that coupling between two Ni(II) centers is ferromagnetic in agreement with binuclear Ni(II) complexes with similar structures.
