The crystal structure of 2-(2′,6′-dinitrophenoxy)-t-butylbenzene, C16HI5N2O5, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c: a = 13.949(9), b = 9.652(6), c = 23.806(12) Å, β = 93.82(5), Z = 8. The integrated intensities of 6811 reflections were recorded with a four circle automated diffractometer at 20 °C; 3334 of these reflections were used in the refinement of the structure to a least-squares weighted residual of 0.057 and a traditional R factor of 0.057.The two crystallographically independent molecules both have the skew-t-butyl-distal conformation, suggesting that the steric effects of the two ortho-nitro groups play a greater role in determining the conformation than does conjugation with the bridging oxygen atom.

The structure of (4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrophenoxy)benzene, C14H11NO5, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 8.880(7), b = 9.792(4), c = 14.820(5), β = 90.07(5), P21/c with Z = 4. The integrated intensities of 2966 independent reflections were measured on a four-circle diffractometer, 2072 of which were used in the refinement to give a final least-squares weighted residual of 0.062 and a conventional R factor of 0.086. The absence of ortho substituents on one ring of the molecule allows it to adopt the twist-nitro-distal conformation. The lengths of the bonds from the unsubstituted ring and the substituted ring to the bridging oxygen atom are 1.409(3) and 1.353(3) Å respectively. The torsional angles about those bonds are 54.6° and 16.5°. The angle subtended at the bridging oxygen atom is 120.0(3)°.The unusual thermal ellipsoids associated with one of the nitro oxygen atoms of this structure and with a nitro oxygen atom of three related structures occur when the nitro substituent is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring on which it is substituted and also has a neighbouring substituent or bridging group. The unusual thermal ellipsoids then result from repulsive exchange forces.

The structure of 2-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-aminophenoxy)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C17H19NO3, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 23.895(9), b = 7.821(4), c = 16.641(8) Å, β = 99.26(3), C2/c, Z = 8. The integrated intensities of 3540 independent reflections were measured on a four-circle diffractometer. A total of 2403 of these reflections was used in the refinement to give a final least-squares weighted residual of 0.069 and a conventional R factor of 0.096. The molecule adopts the skew-amino-distal conformation as does the analogous ortho-nitro-substituted compound. The lengths of the bonds from the amino substituted ring and the mesityl ring are 1.404(3) and 1.376(4) Å respectively and the torsional angles about those bonds are ±5.8 and [Formula: see text]. The angle subtended at the bridging oxygen atom is 120.1°. Variations in the endocyclic angles subtended at substituted ring carbon atoms in this and other bridged diphenyls may be understood in terms of a combination of hybridization effects, and the spatial requirements of the bonds to substituents.

The crystal structure of 2′-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrophenylsulfinyl)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C17H17NO5S, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, a = 9.848(11), b = 7.654(10), c = 12.513(15) Å, α = 107.33(8), β = 100.73(8), γ = 106.53(8)°, [Formula: see text] with Z = 2. The intensities of 3850 independent reflections were measured on a four circle diffractometer; 2985 reflections were used in the refinement to give a final least-squares residual of 0.053 and a traditional R factor of 0.052.Repulsion between the sulfoxide oxygen atom and the nitro oxygen atoms forces the molecule into the twist-nitro-proximal conformation as opposed to the nitro-distal conformation which has been observed for other bridged diphenyls in this series.

The structure of 2-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrophenoxy)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C17H17NO5, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic, a = 8.352(4), b = 17.892(10), c = 10.966(6) Å, β = 100.59(3) °, P21/c with Z = 4. The intensities of 3877 independent reflections were measured on a four circle diffractometer; 2272 of these reflections were used to obtain a final least-squares residual of 0.053 and traditional R factor of 0.054. The general conformation is similar to that found earlier for differently substituted diphenyl ethers. Comparison of this structure with those previously determined indicates that distortions in ring angles are primarily a result of electronic rather than steric effects.

The structure of 2-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrobenzoyl)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C18H17N05, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, a = 10.266(5), b = 7.672(5), c = 11.975(8) Å, α = 105.11(3), β = 100.08(3), γ = 111.50(3)°, [Formula: see text] with Z = 2. The integrated intensities of 3732 independent reflections were measured on a four circle diffractometer; 2784 of these reflections were used in the refinement to give a final least-squares weighted residual of 0.046 and a conventional R factor of 0.053.The molecule adopts the twist-nitro-proximal conformation similar to the conformation in the corresponding sulfoxide and sulfone. The angle subtended at the bridging carbon atom is 118.5(2)° and its bond lengths to phenyl carbon atoms are 1.502(2) and 1.503(2) Å.

The structure of 2-(2′-carbomethoxy-4′-nitrophenoxy)-1,3,5-trichlorobenzene, C14H8NO5Cl3, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, a = 8.862(10), b = 15.164(10), c = 13.028(14) Å, α = 90.35(8), β = 116.28(8), γ = 97.54(8)°, [Formula: see text] with Z = 4. The intensities of 6417 independent reflections were measured on a four circle diffractometer of which 4526 were used in the refinement to give a final least-squares residue of 0.047. The two independent molecules in the unit cell show a similar conformation to that found in earlier studies of diphenyl ethers, and the conformation appears to be determined partly by steric effects, since conjugation between the nitro-substituted ring and the ether oxygen atoms is less pronounced than found previously.

The crystal structure of trans-[Pt(DMF)(2,6-lutidine)Cl2] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with a = 11.612(13), b = 26.504(33), c = 9.271(9) Å, and Z = 8. The structure was refined by full matrix least-squares analysis to a conventional R factor of 0.051 and a weighted Rw = 0.044. The coordination around the platinum atom is square planar. The 2,6-lutidine ring is perpendicular to the platinum plane. DMF is bonded to platinum through the oxygen atom. It is planar and makes an angle of 71 ° with the platinum plane. The cis–trans configuration of the [Pt(DMF)(L)Cl2] (L = pyridine derivative) complexes in DMF solution is discussed.

The crystal structure of 2-(4′-carbomethoxy-2′-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, C17H17NO6S, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are triclinic, a = 12.907(13), b = 7.577(5), c = 9.1808(9) Å, α = 105.82(3), β = 112.81(5), γ = 93.97(4)°, [Formula: see text] with Z = 2. The integrated intensities of 3792 independent reflections were measured on a four circle diffractometer and 2985 reflections were used in the refinement to give a least-squares residual of 0.046 and a conventional R factor of 0.057.The molecule shows a twist-nitro-proximal conformation. However, the dihedral angles made by the mesityl ring and the nitro-substituted ring with the central C—S—C plane are dissimilar in contrast to the nearly equal angles found for the similarly substituted sulfinyl compound.

The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121, with a = 12.486(6), b = 13.444(7), c = 14.678(11) Å, and Z = 4. The structure was refined by block-diagonal least-squares analysis to a conventional R factor of 0.050 and a weighted Rw = 0.045.The coordination around the platinum atom is square planar. Guanosine is bonded to platinum through N(7). The purine planar ring makes an angle of 62.7° with the platinum coordination plane. The structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
