The title compounds, 6-cyclopropyl-1,3-diphenylfulvene, C21H18, [systematic name: 5-(cyclopropylmethylidene)-1,3-diphenylcyclopenta-1,3-diene], 1, and 6-(2,3-dimethoxynaphthyl)-1,3-diphenylfulvene, C30H24O2, {systematic name: 5-[(3,4-dimethoxynaphthalen-2-yl)methylidene]-1,3-diphenylcyclopenta-1,3-diene}, 2, were prepared from 1,3-diphenylcyclopentadiene, pyrrolidine, and the corresponding aldehydes in an ethanolic solution. Each structure crystallizes with one molecule per asymmetric unit and exhibits the alternating short and long bond lengths typical of fulvenes. A network of C—H...C ring interactions as well as C—H...O interactions is observed, resulting in the compact packing found in each structure.

Crystal structures are reported for four (2,2′-bipyridyl)(ferrocenyl)boronium derivatives, namely (2,2′-bipyridyl)(ethenyl)(ferrocenyl)boronium hexafluoridophosphate, [Fe(C5H5)(C17H15BN2)]PF6, (Ib), (2,2′-bipyridyl)(tert-butylamino)(ferrocenyl)boronium bromide, [Fe(C5H5)(C19H22BN3)]Br, (IIa), (2,2′-bipyridyl)(ferrocenyl)(4-methoxyphenylamino)boronium hexafluoridophosphate acetonitrile hemisolvate, [Fe(C5H5)(C22H20BN3O)]PF6·0.5CH3CN, (IIIb), and 1,1′-bis[(2,2′-bipyridyl)(cyanomethyl)boronium]ferrocene bis(hexafluoridophosphate), [Fe(C17H14BN3)2](PF6)2, (IVb). The asymmetric unit of (IIIb) contains two independent cations with very similar conformations. The B atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination in all four structures. The cyclopentadienyl rings of (Ib), (IIa) and (IIIb) are approximately eclipsed, while a bisecting conformation is found for (IVb). The N—H groups of (IIa) and (IIIb) are shielded by the ferrocenyl andtert-butyl or phenyl groups and are therefore not involved in hydrogen bonding. The B—N(amine) bond lengths are shortened by delocalization of π-electrons. In the cations with an amine substituent at boron, the B—N(bipyridyl) bonds are 0.035 (3) Å longer than in the cations with a methylene C atom bonded to boron. A similar lengthening of the B—N(bipyridyl) bonds is found in a survey of related cations with an oxy group attached to the B atom.

Crystal structures are reported for three substituted 1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile compounds used as catalysts for the coupling reaction of nucleoside methyl phosphonamidites, namely 2-(3′,5′-dimethylbiphenyl-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile, C19H14N4, (I), 2-(2′,4′,6′-trimethylbiphenyl-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile, C20H16N4, (II), and 2-[8-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)naphthalen-1-yl]-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarbonitrile, C23H16N4, (III). The asymmetric unit of (I) contains two independent molecules with similar conformations. There is steric repulsion between the imidazole group and the terminal phenyl group in all three compounds, resulting in the nonplanarity of the molecules. The naphthalene group of (III) shows significant deviation from planarity. The C—N bond lengths in the imidazole rings range from 1.325 (2) to 1.377 (2) Å. The molecules are connected into zigzag chains by intermolecular N—H...Nimidazole[for (I)] or N—H...·Ncyano[for (II) and (III)] hydrogen bonds.

There is a paucity of data concerning the structures of six- and seven-membered tellurium- and nitrogen-containing (Te—N) heterocycles. The title compounds, C8H7NOTe, (I), and C9H9NOTe, (II), represent the first structurally characterized members of their respective classes. Both crystallize with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. When compared to their sulfur analogs, they exhibit slightly greater deviations from planarity to accommodate the larger chalcogenide atom, with (II) adopting a pronounced twist-boat conformation. The C—Te—C angles of 85.49 (15) and 85.89 (15)° for the two independent molecules of (I) were found to be somewhat smaller than those of 97.4 (2) and 97.77 (19)° for the two independent molecules of (II). The C—Te bond lengths [2.109 (4)–2.158 (5) Å] are in good agreement with those predicted by the covalent radii. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding in (I) forms centrosymmetricR22(8) dimers, while that in (II) forms chains. In addition, intermolecular Te...O contacts [3.159 (3)–3.200 (3) Å] exist in (I).

The crystal structures of five dibromobenzene derivatives, namely dibromoborylbenzene, C6H5BBr2, (I), 1-dibromoboryl-4-(trimethylsilyl)benzene, C9H13BBr2Si, (II), 4-bromo-1-(dibromoboryl)benzene, C6H4BBr3, (III), dibromo(dimethylamino)(phenyl)borane, C8H12BBr2N, (IV), and dibromo(dimethylsulfanyl)[4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]borane, C11H19BBr2SSi, (V), have been determined. Compounds (I)–(IV) crystallize with one molecule in the asymmetric unit, but the molecule of (V) is located on a crystallographic mirror plane, implying twofold disorder of the central aromatic ring, the S atom and one of the methyl groups bonded to the S atom. In (I), (II) and (III), the B atom is three-coordinated, and in (IV) and (V) it is four-coordinated. The geometric parameters of the –BBr2group in these five structures agree well with those of comparable structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database. The C—B and B—Br bond lengths in the molecules with a three-coordinated B atom are significantly shorter than those in the molecules with a four-coordinated B atom. In the compounds with a three-coordinated B atom, the –BBr2group tends to be coplanar with the aromatic ring to which it is attached.

The present paper reports crystallographic studies on three related compounds that were of interest as precursors for synthetic and mechanistic work in organosulfur chemistry, as well as to model nitrogen-protecting groups: (N-methylcarbamoyl)(trichloromethyl)disulfane, C3H4Cl3NOS2, (1), (N-benzylcarbamoyl)(trichloromethyl)disulfane, C9H8Cl3NOS2, (2), and (N-methyl-N-phenylcarbamoyl)(trichloromethyl)disulfane, C9H8Cl3NOS2, (3). Their molecular structures, with similar bond lengths and angles for the CCl3SS(C=O)N moieties, are confirmed. Compounds (1) and (3) both crystallized with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Classical hydrogen bonding, as well as chlorine-dense regions, are evident in the crystal packing for (1) and (2). In the crystal of (1), molecules are linkedviaN—H...O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [110], which are linked by short Cl...Cl and S...O contacts forming sheets parallel to (001). In the crystal of (2), molecules are linkedviaN—H...O hydrogen bonds forming chains along [001], which in turn are linked by pairs of short O...Cl contacts forming ribbons along thec-axis direction. In the crystal of (3), there are no classical hydrogen bonds present and the chlorine-dense regions observed in (1) and (2) are lacking.

The effect of side chain substitution on the 35CI NQR and crystal structure of amides of the type N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-amides, 2,6-Cl2C6H3-NHCO-R (R = H or CH3_yXy where X = CH3 or CI and y = 0, 1, 2 or 3), has been studied by measuring the 35C1 NQR spectra and determining the crystal structures of the compounds N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-formamide, 2,6-Cl2C6H3- NHCO-H (DCPFA); N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2-methylacetamide(propionamide), 2,6-Cl2C6H3- NHCO-CH2CH3 (DCPMA); N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethylacetamide(isobutyramide), 2,6- Cl2C6H3-NHCO-CH(CH3 ) 2 (DCPDMA) and N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trimethylacetamide (neopentylamide), 2,6-Cl2C6H3-NHCO-C(CH3)3 (DCPTMA), and by analysing the present data along with the 35CI NQR spectra and / or crystal structures of the compounds, 2,6-dichloroaniline, 2,6-Cl2C6H3-NH2 (DCA), N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-acetamide, 2,6-Cl2C6H3--NHCO-CH3 (DCPA), N-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2-chloroacetamide, 2,6-Cl2C6H3-NHCO-CH2Cl (DCPCA), N- (2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide, 2,6-Cl2C6H3-NHCO-CHCl2 (DCPDCA) and N- (2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroacetamide, 2,6-Cl2C6H3-NHCO-CCl3 (DCPTCA). The crystal type, space group, formula units and lattice constants in A of the new structures are;DCPFA: orthorhombic, Pbca, Z = 8, a = 8.593(3), b = 12.728(4), c = 14.376(4); DCPMA: orthorhombic, P212121, Z = 4, a = 4.774(2), b = 10.961(5), c = 19.562(8); DCPDMA: monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4, a = 9.901(4), b = 13.785(5), c = 9.060(3), ß = 103.58(2)° and DCPTMA: monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 8, a = 16.047(5), b = 9.882(3), c = 16.270(5) ß = 102.12(1)°. The compound, DCPTMA shows two molecules in its asymmetric unit. This is in agreement with the multiple lines observed in the 35CI NQR spectra of the compound. The conversion of DCA (monoclinic) into it's various acid amides DCPFA, DCPA, DCPMA, DCPDMA, DCPTMA, DCPCA and DCPTCA affects it's crystal symmetry. The replacement of the side chain CH3 in DCPA by the H atom or substitution of either a CH3 group or a CI atom for one of the H atoms in the side chain CH3 or replacement of the two ring CI atoms by the H atoms changes it's crystal symmetry from monoclinic to orthorhombic, while the substitution of 2 or all the 3 H atoms in the CH3 group of DCPA by 2 or 3 CH3 groups or CI atoms restores it's crystal symmetry back to the monoclinic type. The bond lengths and bond angles are normal except for some deviations.

Three tetranuclear copper(II)–lanthanide(III) complexes of triphenylphosphoniopropionate (Ph3P+CH2CH2CO2−,tppp), namely [Cu2Ln2(tppp)8(H2O)8](ClO4)10·2H 2 O [Ln = EuIII, NdIII or CeIII], were synthesized and characterized by crystallography. The EuIII complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 – with a 16.249(7), b 17.185(11), c 17.807(11) Å, α 69.750(10), β 89.230(10), γ 84.070(10)˚, V 4639(5) Å3, Z 1. In the crystal structures, four tppp ligands bridge a pair of CuII and tetraaquo-EuIII atoms (Cu···Eu 3.527(2) Å) through their µ2-carboxylato ends to form a dinuclear subunit; two of these subunits are additionally linked by one of the CuII -bonded carboxylato oxygen ends, across a centre of inversion, to furnish a dimeric tetranuclear [Cu(tppp)4 Eu(H2O)4]2 species (Cu···Cu 3.323(2) Å). This CuII -bonded oxygen atom occupies the apical site of the square-pyramidal coordination environment of the CuII atom. The EuIII atom is eight-coordinated in a square-antiprismatic geometry. The NdIII and CeIII complexes are isomorphous to the EuIII complex, and only minor differences in bond lengths and bond angles involving the metal atoms are noted.

To compare the structural properties of oxalamide and thiooxalamide groups in the formation of hydrogen bonds suitable for supramolecular assemblies a series of retropeptides was studied. Some of them, having oxalamide bridges, are gelators of organic solvents and water. However, retropeptides with oxygen replaced by the sp 2 sulfur have not exhibited such properties. The crystal structures of the two title compounds are homostructural, i.e. they have similar packing arrangements. The monothio compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with two molecules in the asymmetric unit arranged in a hydrogen-bond network with an approximate 41 axis along the crystallographic b axis. However, the dithio and dioxo analogues crystallize in the tetragonal space group P41 with similar packing patterns and hydrogen-bonding systems arranged in agreement with a crystallographic 41 axis. Thus, these two analogues are isostructural having closely related hydrogen-bonding patterns in spite of the different size and polarity of oxygen and sulfur which serve as the proton acceptors.
