Tetrahydrotetrazoles are five-membered-ring heterocycles containing four contiguous saturated nitrogen atoms. Very few examples of such compounds have been reported in the literature. Our previous attempt at the synthesis of a member of this class of compound suggested that the N—N bonds may be more labile than expected. This finding raised the question as to whether the structures of any of the previously reported tetrahydrotetrazoles had been properly assigned. We have reproduced the synthesis of a reported tetrahydrotetrazole, namely 1,2-di-tert-butyl 3-phenyl-1H,2H,3H,10bH-[1,2,3,4]tetrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-1,2-dicarboxylate, C25H30N4O4, and have now confidently confirmed its structure via X-ray crystallography. However, while sufficiently stable in the crystal phase, we discovered that it remains very labile in solution (having a half-life of only 15 min at 20 °C in CDCl3). A tentative reaction pathway for its dissociation based on 1H NMR spectral evidence is provided.

In a systematic search for supramolecular complexes involving all combinations of the cyclic polyethers 12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C 5), 18-crown-6 (18C 6) and dibenzo- 18-crown-6 (DB -18C6), and the geminal di- or trisulfones H2C(SO 2Me)2, H2C (SO2Et)2 and HC (SO2Me)3-n (SO2Et)n (n = 0 -3 ) , only the following four complexes could be isolated and unequivocally characterized by elemental analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy: [(12C4){H2C (SO2Et)2}2] (3), [(18C6){H2C (S O2Me)2}] (4), [(DB -18C 6){H2C (SO2Et)2}] (5) and [(D B -18C 6)2{HC (SO2Me )(SO2Et)2}3] (6). The structure of 3 (triclinic, space group P1̄) consists of crystallographically centrosymmetric formula units, in which the disulfone molecules are bonded on each side of the ring by two C -H ··· O(crown) interactions originating from the central methylene group (H···O 213 pm) and from the methylene group of one EtSO2 moiety ( H ··· O 237 pm). Formula units related by translation are connected into parallel strands by a third type of reciprocal C -H ···O bond (H ···O 232 pm) between the second H atom of the central methylene group and a sulfonyl oxygen atom of the adjacent unit. The structure of 4 (monoclinic, space group C2/c) showed severe disorder of the crown ether and could not be refined satisfactorily. Compounds 5 and 6 crystallized as long and extremely thin fibres, indicative of linear-polymeric supramolecular structures; single crystals for X-ray crystallography were not available.

The products of a Pictet–Spengler condensation of tryptamine and of histamine with 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose have been studied by X-ray crystallography to establish their absolute configuration. 1(S)-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (1), C16H20N20O4, is monoclinic, P21 (No. 4), with cell dimensions a = 13.091(4), b = 5.365(1), c = 11.323(3) Å, β = 115.78(2)°, and Z = 2. 4-(α-D-Arabinofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-c]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydropyridine (3), C11H17N3O4, is orthorhombic, P212121 (No. 19), with cell dimensions a = 8.118(2), b = 13.715(4), c = 10.963(3) Å, and Z = 4. The structures were determined by direct methods and refined to R1 = 0.0514, R2 = 0.0642 for 3210 reflections in the case of 1, and to R1 = 0.0312, R2 = 0.0335 for 1569 reflections in the case of 3. Bond lengths and angles within both molecules are normal and agree well with those observed in related structures. In 3 the base and sugar adopt a syn arrangement, which is maintained by an internal hydrogen bond between O(2′) and N(3). The sugar adopts a normal 2T3 twist conformation. The sugar has the opposite anti arrangement in the β-carboline 1 and the conformation of the sugar is unusual; it is close to an envelope conformation with O(4′) being the atom out of the plane. This conformation is caused by a strong intermolecular hydrogen bond from O(5′) in a symmetry-related molecule to O(4′). Both compounds are held together in the crystal by extensive hydrogen-bonding networks. The conformations of the compounds in solution have been investigated by 1H nmr spectroscopy, and the results obtained were compared with those obtained by X-ray crystallography for 1 and 3.

The new organotin compound, Ph2Sn(Cl)[S(C7H3N2O2S)]·[(C7H3N2O2S)OEt], assembled by an intermolecular aromatic benzothiazole–benzothiazole π-π stacking interaction, has been synthesized by the reaction of diphenyltin dichloride with 2-mercapto-6-nitrobenzothiazole. The title compound was characterized by elemental, IR, 1H NMR, and X-ray crystallography analyses. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data reveals that the title compound has two different molecular components. The component Ph2Sn(Cl)[S(C7H3N2O2S)] has a pentacoordinate tin, which further forms an infinite one-dimensional chain by intermolecular non-bonded Cl···S interactions, resulting in an intercalation lattice that holds (C7H3N2O2S)OEt molecules. The formation of the molecule (C7H3N2O2S)OEt as well as its intercalated mechanism has also been discussed.Key words: organotin, assemble, π-π stacking interaction, 2-mercapto-6-nitrobenzothiazole, non-bonded interaction, crystal structure.

AbstractThe reaction of R3M (M=Ga, In) with HESiR′3 (E=O, S; R′3=Ph3, iPr3, Et3, tBuMe2) leads to the formation of (Me2GaOSiPh3)2(1); (Me2GaOSitBuMe2)2(2); (Me2GaOSiEt3)2(3); (Me2InOSiPh3)2(4); (Me2InOSitBuMe2)2(5); (Me2InOSiEt3)2(6); (Me2GaSSiPh3)2(7); (Et2GaSSiPh3)2(8); (Me2GaSSiiPr3)2(9); (Et2GaSSiiPr3)2(10); (Me2InSSiPh3)3(11); (Me2InSSiiPr3)n(12), in high yields at room temperature. The compounds have been characterized by multinuclear NMR and in most cases by X-ray crystallography. The molecular structures of (1), (4), (7) and (8) have been determined. Compounds (3), (6) and (10) are liquids at room temperature. In the solid state, (1), (4), (7) and (9) are dimers with central core of the dimer being composed of a M2E2 four-membered ring. VT-NMR studies of (7) show facile redistribution between four- and six-membered rings in solution. The thermal decomposition of (1)–(12) was examined by TGA and range from 200 to 350°C. Bulk pyrolysis of (1) and (2) led to the formation of Ga2O3; (4) and (5) In metal; (7)–(10) GaS and (11)–(12) InS powders, respectively.

Reaction of [Cu(PPh3)2(NO3)] (1) in acetone with bis(diphenylphosphino)amine (dppa, 2) yields [Cu(dppa)(PPh3)2]+NO3- (3a). [Cu(dppa)(PPh3)2]+PF6- (3b) has been synthesized by metatheses of 3a with NH4PF6. The salt [Cu(dppm)(PPh3)2]+PF6- (5b) has been prepared by an one batch reaction of [Cu(PPh3)2(NO3)] (1), bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm, 4) and NH4PF6 in methanol, because [Cu(dppm)(PPh3)2]+NO3- (5a) could not be isolated by the direct reaction of 1 with 4. The IR, Raman, 31P{1H} NMR, 1H{31Ρ} NMR as well as the conductivity data are reported and discussed together with the X-ray crystal structure of 3a · 1.8 (CH3)2CO. The structure consists of copper atoms coordinated tetrahedrally by two PPh3 ligands and the chelating dppa ligand and features a highly strained four-membered ring. The distorted tetrahedral cations are hydrogen bridged to the nitrate anions. The colourless needles of 3a· 1.8 (CH3)2CO crystallize in the monoclinic space group C 2/c, with the lattice constants a = 4189.2(27); b = 1223.7(8); c = 2717.8(15) pm;β = 113.16(4)°.

Two new ZnII(phen)2 complexes with trichloroacetate and acetate anions, [Zn(phen)2(CCl3COO)- (H2O)](ClO4) and [Zn(phen)2(CH3COO)](ClO4), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy. The single crystal X-ray data of these compounds show the Zn atoms to have six-coordinate geometry. From IR spectra and X-ray crystallography it is established that the coordination of the COO− group is different for trichloroacetate and acetate. The former acts as a monodentate whereas the latter acts as a bidentate ligand.

The titanocene complexes Cp'2Ti(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (Cp' = Cp (1), Cp* (2)) react with pyrrole under the formation of the titanium(III) mono-N-pyrrolides Cp'2Ti(NC4H4) (Cp' = Cp (6), Cp* (7)); whereas the corresponding zirconocene system Cp2Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3)(thf) (3) forms in a different reaction pathway first the Cp2Zr(NC4H4)[C(SiMe3)=CH(SiMe3)] (8) and then the zirconium(IV) bis-N-pyrrolide Cp2Zr(NC4H4)2 (11). With Cp*2Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (4) and pyrrole, the zirconium(IV) mono-N-pyrrolide with an agostic alkenyl group Cp*2Zr(NC4H4)[C(SiMe3)=CH(SiMe3)] (9) was obtained. In the reaction of the ethylenebistetrahydroindenyl (ebthi) complex rac-(ebthi)Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3) (5) with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroaniline under N-H bond activation, a complex with an agostic alkenyl group rac-(ebthi)Zr(NH-C6HF4)[C(SiMe3)=CH(SiMe3)] (10) was formed. Compound 10 reacts with additional 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroaniline to give the bisanilide rac-(ebthi)Zr(NH-C6HF4)2 (12) which was obtained directly from 5 with two equivalents of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroaniline. In reactions of complex 5 with unsubstituted aniline to rac-(ebthi)Zr(NH-C6H5)2 (13) and with pentafluorophenol to bisphenolate rac-(ebthi)Zr(O-C6F5)2 (14), no intermediates could be isolated. The new reaction products 6, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 were investigated by X-ray crystallography.

5-(8-ethoxycarbonyl-1-naphthyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl porphyrin (ENTPP) has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction, and the corresponding chiral crystalline samples have been obtained by spontaneous resolution. 1 H NMR spectrum suggests it is mononaphthyl substituted species and an ethyl group is over the porphyrin plane. The structure has been further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. ENTPP·C6H14 (C57H50N4O2 ): monoclinic, P21, a = 10.707(2) Å, b = 12.203(2) Å, c = 17.858(4) Å, β = 103.06(3)°, V = 2272.8(8) Å3, Z = 2. The 8-position substituent, ester group, lies above the porphyrin plane and leads to the conformational chirality. The entire structure is built up with homochiral molecules, which leads to a chiral crystal through packing in P21 space group. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra have exhibited remarkable absorptions in the Soret band region, which further confirms the homochirality of the crystalline samples.

Reaction of bis(cycloocta-1,5-diene)platinum(0) with the (alkynyl)phenylsilanes Ph3SiC2But, Ph2Si(C2But)2 and PhSi(C2But)3 gives, respectively, [Pt (Ph3SiC2But)2] (1b), [Pt {Ph2Si(C2But)}]2 (2b), and [Pt {PhSi(C2But)3}]2 (4b), which contain zerovalent platinum atoms coordinated by two alkyne units. Spectroscopic data indicate that (2b) and (4b) contain two PtC4 and two SiC4 tetrahedra joined at the corners. X-Ray crystallography shows that complex (4b) is isostructural and isomorphous with the known nickel analogue, two of the alkyne units being uncoordinated; the central eight-membered ring comprising two silicon, four alkyne carbon and two platinum atoms has an approximate chair conformation. In contrast, the monomer (1b) is isostructural but not isomorphous with the analogous nickel compound (1a); in the crystal there is evidence for a weak intramolecular phenyl-phenyl interaction.
