The crystal structures of four analogues of the auxin herbicide series, including inactive examples, have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The compounds (2-isopropy1phenoxy)acetic acid (1), (4-fluorophenoxy)acetic acid (2) and (2,4-dichloro-5-fluorophenoxy)acetic acid (3) are from the phenoxyalkanoic acid series while (indol-3-ylthio)acetic acid (4) is the sulfur analogue of the natural plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid. All examples exist as hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O…O, 2.640(7), 2.62(1), 2.637(4) and 2.665(4) � for (1)-(4), respectively]. Compounds (1) and (2) are essentially planar while compounds (3) and (4) have side chains anticlinally related to the ring systems, similar to (2,4-dich1orophenoxy)acetic acid and to indole-3-acetic acid.

Three molecular cocrystal adducts of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid ( iaa ) have been prepared and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction. They are indole-3-acetic acid-bis [pyridin-2(1H)-one] (1), indole-3-acetic acid-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (2) and indole-3-acetic acid-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (3). Complexes (2) and (3), which may be prepared in a solid-state reaction, are orange and are structurally similar, having significant π-π indole -benzene ring interactions. However, the colourless complex (1) shows no π-π ring interactions. In complex (2), the 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid molecules form hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers (O…O, 2.64 Ǻ), while in (3) the indole-3-acetic acid molecules form dimers (O…O, 2.66 Ǻ). This feature contrasts with the structure of adduct (1) in which the pyridin-2(1H)-one molecules exist as dimers [N…O, 2.79, 2.74 Ǻ] analogous to those found in the parent compound.

The crystal structures of (2-formyl-6-methoxyphenoxy)acetic acid (1), diaquabis [(2-formyl-6-methoxyphenoxy) acetato ]zinc(11) (2), tetraaquabis [(2-chlorophenoxy) acetato ]zinc(11) (3), triaquabis [(2-chlorophenoxy) acetato ]cadmium(11) dihydrate (4) and lithium (2-chloro- phenoxy )acetate 1.5 hydrate (5) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The acid (1) forms centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O…0, 2.677(6) �] which are non-planar. Complex (2) is six-coordinate with two waters [Zn- Ow , 1.997(2) �] and four oxygens from two asymmetric bidentate carboxyl groups [Zn-O, 2.073, 2.381(2) �] completing a skew trapezoidal bipyramidal stereochemistry. Complex (5) is also six-coordinate but is octahedral, with two trans-related unidentate carboxyl oxygens [mean Zn-O, 2.134(9) �] and four waters [mean Zn-O, 2.081(9) �]. The seven-coordinate complex (4) has crystallographic twofold rotational symmetry relating two :symmetric bidentate acid ligands [ Cd -O, 2.26, 2 48(:) �] and two waters [ Cd -O, 2.34(2) �] while the third water lies on this axis [ Cd -O, 2.27(2) �]. In contrast to the monomers (2)-(4), complex (5) is polymeric with tetrahedral lithium coordinated to one water and three carboxylate oxygens [mean Li-0, 1.95(1) �]. The essential conformation of the free acid is retained in complexes (2), (3) and (4) but in (5), it is considerably changed.

As part of the molecular recognition studies on the phytohormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) a series of fluorinated IAA's has been examined. The phenyl ring substitution at positions 4, 5, 6 and 7 resulted in four compounds, which were analyzed. Structure–activity correlation includes the analysis of their molecular conformations, based on the X-ray diffraction and computational chemistry results, and bioactivity determinations in the Avena coleoptile and the Pisum sativum stem straight-growth tests, lipophilicity and UV absorbance. The conformations of monofluorinated IAA's and a free hormone are defined by rotations about two bonds: one describes the relative orientation of a side chain towards the indole plane and the second the orientation of the carboxylic group. The results of X-ray structure analysis revealed the folded shape of the molecules in all compounds studied. Molecular mechanics and dynamics located the folded conformation as the local minimum, but failed to detect the planar conformation as one of the local minima, which according to ab initio results on IAA and 4-CI-IAA could also be possible. Crystal data at 295 K for 4-F-IAA and at 297 K for 5-F-IAA, and at 100 K for 6-F-IAA and 7-F-IAA using Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) and Cu Kα (λ = 1.5418 Å, for 7-F-IAA), are as follows: 4-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, Mr = 193.18, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 17.294 (5), b = 13.875 (4), c = 7.442 (4) Å, β = 103.88 (6)°, V = 1734 (1) Å3, Z = 8, Dx = 1.480 g cm−3, μ = 1.1 cm−1, F(000) = 800, R = 0.043, wR = 0.044 for 823 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections; 5-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 19.284 (5), b = 5.083 (4), c = 9.939 (4) Å, β = 117.28 (6)°, V = 865.9 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.482 g cm−3, μ = 1.1  cm−1, F(000) = 400, R = 0.062, wR = 0.057 for 729 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections; 6-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, monoclinic, P21/a, a = 9.360 (1), b = 5.167 (4), c = 17.751 (4) Å, β = 93.75 (1)°, V = 856.7 (8) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.498 g cm−3, μ = 1.1 cm−1, F(000) = 400, R = 0.048, wR = 0.048 for 1032 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 2σ(I)] reflections; 7-F-IAA, C10H8NO2F, monoclinic, P21/a, a = 9.935 (5), b = 5.0059 (4), c = 17.610 (1) Å, β = 102.13 (1)°, V = 856.3 (1) Å3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.498 g cm−3, μ = 9.8 cm−1 (Cu Kα, F(000) = 400, R = 0.035, wR = 0.040 for 1504 symmetry-independent [I ≥ 2σ(I)] reflections.

The cocrystal adducts of a number of carboxylic acids with organic heterocyclic bases have been prepared, and their structures and intermolecular interactions interpreted through X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of three of these compounds, the 1 : 1 adducts [{(2,4-dich1orophenoxy)acetic acid)(3-hydroxypyridine)] (1), [(2,4,6-trinitrobenzoie acid)(2-aminopyrimidine)] (2), and [(4-nitrobenzoic acid)(3-amino- 1,2,4-trimole)] (3), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to residuals R 0.026, 0.033 and 0.040 for 1814, 1531 and 727 observed reflections, respectively.

A series of molecular adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with heterocyclic carboxylic acids have been prepared and characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction and in four cases by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. These four compounds are the (1 : 1) adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine with indole-3-acetic acid [(C4H5N3)(C10H9NO2)], N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C6H7NO2)] and thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C5H4O2S)], and the (1 : 1) adduct of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C2H4N4)(C5H4O2S)]. Other compounds described are the (1 : 1) adducts of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with indole-3-acetic acid and N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid.

Abstract N,N-Dimethyl-C-phenylglycinemethylester reacts with Pd(OAc)2 in acetic acid to give the orthopalladated, acetato bridged complex 1. Treatment of 1 with sodium halide affords the chloro, bromo, and iodo bridged compounds [Me2NC(H)(CO2Me)C6H4PdX]2 (2a -c) (X = halide). From 2a and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene the phosphine bridged trinuclear complex 3 is obtained. Substitution of the amine ligand of 2a by the phosphino group is observed for the reaction of 2a with Ph2PC(Me)C(Me)PPh2. Insertion of 2,6-dimethyl-phenylisocyanide, CO, alkyl-vinyl-ketones, and diphenylacetylene into the Pd-C bond o f 2a -c provides the orthosubstituted organic and organometallic derivatives of phenylglycine 6a -c, 7, 8a -b and 9a -c. The crystal structures of 1, 4a, 6a, 7 and 9a were determined by X-ray diffraction.

A number of molecular adducts of nitro-substituted aromatic acids with Lewis bases have been prepared and characterized by infrared spectroscopy and in three cases by X-ray diffraction methods. These three compounds are the adducts of: 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (dnba) with N-methylaniline (nma), [(dnba)-(nma)+] (1); (4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid (4-npa) with cyclohexane-1,4-diamine (dach), [(4-npa)22-(dach)2+] (4); 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-nsa) with 2-imidazolidone (idaz), [(5-nsa)2(idaz)] (5). Other compounds are the adducts of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid with 2,6-dimethylpyridine (dmp), [(dnba)(dnba)-(dmp)+] (2), and with 1-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (cmp), [(dnba)-(cmp)+] (3). Compounds (1) and (3) have 1 : 1 stoichiometry, while (2), (4) and (5) are 2 : 1 adducts. Proton transfer occurs in most examples [complex (5) is the exception].

The crystal structures of perfluorophenoxyacetic acid [(2,3,4,5,6- pentafluorophenoxy )acetic acid] and its anhydrous complexes with silver(I) and mercury(I) have been determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to residuals R = 0.046, 0.042 and 0.104 for 1235, 1789 and 2750 observed reflections respectively. The acid forms the usual hydrogen- bonded cyclic dimers [O---O, 2.705(3)Ǻ] with the oxyacetic acid side- chain synclinally oriented. Crystals age triclinic, space group Pī with Z 2 in a cell of dimensions a 7.479(1), b 7.592(2), c 8.463(2)Ǻ,α 80.15(2),β 85.34(2),γ 61.31(1)Ǻ. The silver complex, [Ag2L2],(1), has crystals with a 5.992(3), b 30.22(2), c 5.277(2)Ǻ, β 106.42(5)°, space group P21/a and Z 2. The bis-carboxylato (O,O′) dimers have Ag-Ag 2.943(1)Ǻ with Ag-O, 2.203, 2.230(3)Ǻ and O-Ag-O 161.6(2)°. The complex with mercury(I), [Hg2L2]n, (2), is centrosymmetric with the usual linear O-Hg-Hg-O-bonds [Hg-Hg, 2.514(1)Ǻ; Hg-O, 2.13(1)Ǻ; O-Hg-Hg, 173.9(2)°]. Longer peripheral bonds to Hg [Hg-O, 2.63(1)Ǻ] produce a polymeric structure. Crystals of (2) are triclinic, space group Pī with Z 1 in a cell of dimensions a 5.038(1), b 5.970(1), c 15.774(6)Ǻ, α 80.77(2),β 86.42(2),γ 84.38(2)°.
