The synthesis, 1H and 13C NMR spectra, and X-ray structures are described for three dialkoxy ethynylnitrobenzenes that differ only in the length of the alkoxy chain, namely 1-ethynyl-2-nitro-4,5-dipropoxybenzene, C14H17NO4, 1,2-dibutoxy-4-ethynyl-5-nitrobenzene, C16H21NO4, and 1-ethynyl-2-nitro-4,5-dipentoxybenzene, C18H25NO4. Despite the subtle changes in molecular structure, the crystal structures of the three compounds display great diversity. Thus, 1-ethynyl-2-nitro-4,5-dipropoxybenzene crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system in the space group R{\overline 3}, with Z = 18, 1,2-dibutoxy-4-ethynyl-5-nitrobenzene crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system in the space group P21/c, with Z = 4, and 1-ethynyl-2-nitro-4,5-dipentoxybenzene crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system in the space group P{\overline 1}, with Z = 2. The crystal structure of 1-ethynyl-2-nitro-4,5-dipropoxybenzene is dominated by planar hexamers formed by a bifurcated alkoxy sp-C—H...O,O′ interaction, while the structure of the dibutoxy analogue is dominated by planar ribbons of molecules linked by a similar bifurcated alkoxy sp-C—H...O,O′ interaction. In contrast, the dipentoxy analogue forms ribbons of molecules alternately connected by a self-complementary sp-C—H...O2N interaction and a self-complementary sp 2-C—H...O2N interaction. Disordered solvent was included in the crystals of 1-ethynyl-2-nitro-4,5-dipropoxybenzene and its contribution was removed during refinement.

N,N´-Dipropyl-N,N,N´ ,N´-tetramethyl-1,2-ethylenediammonium dichloride (1) and dibromide (2) were prepared by the reaction of N,N,N´,N´-tetramethyl-1,2-ethylenediamine and the corresponding 1-halopropane. The structures of the compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 · 2H2O crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, space group P1, with Z = 1, and 2 in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, with Z = 2. The crystal structures of the salts consist of discrete dications and halide anions. The packing in 1 · 2H2O consists of layers of cations with the chloride anions and water molecules forming hydrogen-bonded chains between the cation layers. In 2, the strongest H· · ·Br hydrogen bonds of 2.8138(6) and 2.8187(7) °A link the cations and anions into doublestranded chains. In both salts, cations and anions are also linked together by a further weak C-H· · ·Cl/Br hydrogen bonding network.

The crystal and molecular structures of Sn(O—t-Bu)4• and [Sn(O—i-Pr)4•HO—i-Pr]2 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Sn(O—t-Bu)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group C2/c, where a = 17.382(6) Å, b = 8.742(2) Å, c = 15.518(5) Å, β = 116.44(1)°, Z = 4, and R = 2.5%. Sn(O—t-Bu)4 is monomeric in the solid state, with a distorted tetrahedral tin coordination environment. [Sn(O—i-Pr)4•HO—i-Pr]2 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P21/n, where a = 11.808(3) Å, b = 14.356(3) Å, c = 12.380(2) Å, β = 95.27(2)°, Z = 2, and R = 4.9%. [Sn(O—i-Pr)4•HO—i-Pr]2 exhibits an edge-shared, bi-octahedral structure in the solid state that is distorted due to the presence of asymmetric hydrogen bonding between axially coordinated alcohol ligands and an isopropoxide ligand.13C NMR and IR spectroscopic data have been recorded for Sn(O—t-Bu)4 and Sn(O—t-Bu-d9)4 to establish criteria for unambiguous identification of solution structures of tin(IV) alkoxides. It is demonstrated that the two-bond [Formula: see text] coupling constant is larger for terminal alkoxide ligands than for μ2-alkoxide bridges, and the ν(Sn—O) stretching frequency has been assigned. The dynamic solution behaviour of [Sn(O—i-Pr)4•HO—i-Pr]2 has been studied using variable temperature 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The data obtained are consistent with a process that involves rapid reversible dissociation of isopropanol at room temperature. Upon cooling, the equilibrium concentration of the species with coordinated alcohol increases, and the molecule undergoes rapid intramolecular proton transfer (AG≠ < 11.9 kcalmol−1). Upon further cooling, the 13C NMR data are consistent with a solution structure analogous to that found in the solid state. Key words: tin, alkoxide, NMR, dynamic, structure.

1-Butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium bromide {(bdmim)Br} (1) and iodide {(bdmim)I} (2) were prepared conveniently by the reaction of 1,2-dimethylimidazole and the corresponding 1-halobutane. The compounds were characterized by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy as well as by X-ray single crystal crystallography. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n, with Z = 4, and unit cell dimensions a = 8.588(2), b = 11.789(1), c = 10.737(2) Å, β = 91.62(3)°. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, with Z = 8, and unit cell dimensions a = 10.821(2), b = 14.221(3), c = 15.079(2) Å , β = 90.01(3)°. The lattices of the salts are built up of 1-butyl-2,3- dimethylimidazolium cations and halide anions. The cations of 1 form a double layer with the imidazolium rings stacked together due to π interactions. The Br− anions lie approximately in the plane of the imidazolium ring, and the closest interionic Br···H contacts span a range of 2.733(1) - 2.903(1) Å. Compound 2 shows no π stacking interactions. The closest interionic I···H contacts are 2.914(1) - 3.196(1) Å

The compounds (β-diketonate)Cu(PR3)n, where β-diketonate = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate, hfac; 1,1,1-trifluoroacetylacetonate, tfac; and acetylacetonate, acac; R = n-butyl (n-Bu), phenyl (Ph), and cyclohexyl (Cy); n = 1 and 2, have been prepared. The monotriorganophosphine adducts were prepared in high yield by the reaction of the sodium salt of the corresponding β-diketonate with [ClCu(PR3)] with elimination of sodium chloride. The bis(triorganophosphine) adducts were prepared by the reaction of (β-diketonate)Cu(PR3) with one equivalent of triorganophosphine. These species were characterized by 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, and by combustion elemental analysis. Four examples were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. (acac)CuPCy3 crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, space group [Formula: see text], where a = 13.502(6) Ǻ, b = 13.691(6) Ǻ, c = 5.781(6) Ǻ, α = 71.05(3)°, β = 67.50(3)°, γ = 64.81(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 5.42%. (tfac)CuPCy3 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n, where a = 9.639(3) Ǻ, b = 22.717(7) Ǻ, c = 12.045(5) Ǻ, β = 111.67(3)°, Z = 4, and R = 7.22%. (hfac)CuPCy3 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, where a = 9.870(2) Ǻ, b = 17.314(4) Ǻ, c = 15.586(3) Ǻ, β = 99.74(2)°, Z = 4, and R = 5.29%. (hfac)Cu(PCy3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n, where a = 13.645(6) Ǻ, b = 19.252(13) Ǻ, c = 16.875(9) Ǻ, β = 102.02(4)°, Z = 4, and R = 7.20%. The compounds (β-diketonate)Cu(PCy3) are all monomeric in the solid state and possess approximately trigonal-planar copper coordination environments, although (tfac)Cu(PCy3) is significantly distorted from trigonal geometry. The Cu—O bond distances are significantly different in this species. The compound (hfac)Cu(PCy3)2 is monomeric in the solid state and possesses a distorted tetrahedral copper coordination environment. The distortion is believed to be due to the large steric demands of the PCy3 ligands that result in long Cu—P bond distances of 2.251(3) and 2.277(3) Ǻ, a large P—Cu—P angle of 141.3(1)°, long Cu—O distances of 2.213(5) and 2.251(5) Ǻ, and a small O—Cu—O angle of 80.8(2)° compared to the corresponding values for (hfac)Cu(PCy3). No trends in Cu—O bond distances between the compounds can be discerned, within the limits of error on the data, that would clearly enable a comparison of thermodynamic parameters such as bond length – bond strength relationships as a function of the β-diketonate substituents. However, the spectroscopic data revealed a number of trends as a function of the β-diketonate substituents, including an increase of ν(C=O and ν(C=C) in the order acac < tfac < hfac, analogous to the increase in their Lewis acidity. An increase in shielding of the 31P resonance of the triorganophosphine ligands was observed in the order hfac < tfac < acac, consistent with expected inductive effects based on the electronegativity of the β-diketonate substituents.

As models for the ionization of orthoesters, a series of 1,3-dioxan-2-ylium salts have been prepared and characterized. The properties of 1,3-dioxan-2-ylium hexachloroantimonate 1, 5-ethoxymethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-ylium hexachloroantimonate 2, 2-methyl-5-ethoxymethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-ylium hexachloroantimonate 3, and 2-phenyl-5-ethoxymethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-ylium hexachloroantimonate 4, have been studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 3 and 4 have been determined using X-ray crystallography. Salts 3 and 4 both crystallize in monoclinic crystal systems. For 3, the space group is C2/c, with a = 30.192(4) Å, b = 9.613(2) Å, c = 12.742(2) Å, β = 109.71(1)°, V = 3482(1) Å3, and Z = 8. Complex 4 crystallizes in the space group P21/n, with a = 10.638(2) Å, b = 11.849(2) Å, c = 16.970(3) Å, β = 106.84(1)°, V = 2047(1) Å3, and Z = 4. The geometries of 3 and 4 are similar with the ether oxygen disposed over the dioxan-2-ylium ring. However, the interaction between the ether oxygen and the cationic centre is not significant due to the large internuclear distance observed. The cation 5, in which the carbon chain length between the ether oxygen and C(5) was increased, was prepared. This ion was found to undergo a reversible, intramolecular rearrangement resulting in the formation of 1-methyl-4-acetoxymethyl-tetrahydrofuranyl oxonium hexachloroantimonate 11.

Two mononuclear zero-dimensional Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes bearing diethylenetriamine derivative ligand, namely [NiL(CH3COO)2(H2O)] (1) and [ZnL(CH3COO)2] (2) [L = N, N’-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)diethylenetriamine], were synthesized under reflux conditions. The molecular composition and structure of the complexes were identified by IR, PXRD, elemental analyses, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 belongs to a monoclinic crystal system with the P21/n space group, and Complex 2 belongs to a monoclinic crystal system with the C2/c space group. The Henry reaction of nitromethane with aromatic aldehydes was explored with Complexes 1 and 2 as the catalyst. Results from the catalytic reaction revealed that the complexes displayed excellent catalytic activities under the optimized conditions and that the substrate scope of aromatic aldehydes could be extended to a certain extent. In addition, the possible catalytic mechanism of the Henry reaction was also deduced.

trans-Dichlorobis(2,3-dihydro-4- and -7-methylbenzo[b]thiophene)palladium(II), 1b and 1c, have been prepared by reaction of 2,3-dihydro-4- and -7-methylbenzo[b]thiophenes with palladium(II) chloride. Both 1b and 1c exhibit complex 1H and 13C NMR spectra as a result of inversion of the sulfur-containing ligands. Their structures were confirmed by single crystal X-ray studies. 1b crystallized in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text] (a = 7.219(2), b = 8.441(5), c = 8.494(7) Å, α = 61.47(5)°, β = 88.85(4)°, γ = 84.40(3)°, and R = 0.067 for 1372 observed of 1760 unique reflections). 1c also crystallized in the triclinic space group [Formula: see text] (a = 7.730(3), b = 8.056(3), c = 8.516(4) Å, α = 62.87(3)°, β = 82.31(3)°, γ = 88.82(3)°, and R = 0,040 for 1425 observed of 1825 unique reflections), 1b and 1c and the complex 1a (prepared from 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene) were unstable in the presence of molecular hydrogen at ambient conditions, liberating the parent dihydrobenzothiophenes and forming elemental palladium. 1a was also unstable to the organic hydrogen donor tetrahydronaphthalene, again forming Pd and 2,3-dihydrobenzothiophene. Complexes 1a–c were shown to promote the shift of CO/H2O to hydrogen and CO2 although most of the hydrogen was consumed by the reduction of Pd(II) to Pd0.

New 6π-tricarbonylchromiumpyrnftne complexes 5c and 5d could be synthesized from 2,6-di-rbutyl- and 2,4,6-tri-f-butylpyridines (3c and 3d) with chromium hexacarbonyl. They are characterized by their 1H and 13C NMR Spectra and their CO-frequencies which are rather similar to those of 6π-tricarbonylchromium-2,4 ,6-triphenyl [1] or 2,4,6-trw-butyl- [2] λ3-phosphorins. When 5d is reacted with lithiumphenyl, the phenyl residue adds to C-4, giving probably compound 7, which by methanolysis and allyl rearrangement of the hydrogen atom from position 4 to position 2 affords tricarbonylchromium-2,6-di-f-butyl-4-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyridine (8) in 56% yield. The 6π-tricarbonylchromium complexes of 2,4,6-triphenyl- or 2,4,6-tn-t-butyl-λ3-phosphorins react with lithiumorganic compounds by addition only to the phosphorus atom whose reaction with methyliodide lead to tricarbonylchromium-λ5-phosphorin-ylid complexes [2], 5 d is a well crystallized compound, the X-ray analysis of the first 6π-tricarbonylchromium pyridine derivate could be performed [3] and compared with the results of the X-ray analysis of 6π-tricarbonylchromiumx 2,4,6-triphenyl-λ3-phosphorin [4]
