1-Methylthyminato-N3-triphenylphosphinegold(I) was prepared by reacting chloro(triphenylphosphine)gold(I) with 1-methylthymine in aqueous methanol at pH 11. The product was examined by X-ray crystallography and was found to have the orthorhombic space group C2221 (no. 20) with cell dimensions a = 12.760(7) Å, b = 11.530(2) Å, c = 31.893(5) Å, and eight formula units in the unit cell. Data were collected with use of MoKα radiation and a Syntex P21, diffractometer. The crystal structure was determined by standard methods and refined to R = 0.112 and Rw = 0.076 on the basis of 4760 unique reflections. Bond lengths and bond angles are normal. Packing in the crystal lattice is dominated by the triphenylphosphine rings which arrange roughly as blades of a propellor and are the source of the crystal's chirality. The title and related compounds were also examined by 1H nmr, 13C nmr, and vibrational spectroscopy.

1,1,3,3-Tetracyanopropane, 1, was prepared in low yields by a literature method with 2,2,4,4,6-pentacyanocyclohexenamine, 2, as a major by-product. The products were examined by X-ray crystallography. 1 has an orthorhombic space group, Pbcn (No. 60) with cell dimensions, a = 7.158(2), b = 10.510(3), c = 9.733(2) Å and has four formula units in the unit cell. 2 has a monoclinic cell, P21/c (No. 14) with cell dimensions a = 14.368(3), b = 6.626(1), c = 12.300(2) Å, β = 115.60(1)° and has 4 formula units in the unit cell. Data were collected with use of MoKα radiation and a Nicolet P3 diffractometer. The crystal structures were determined by standard methods and refined to Rw = 0.037 (1) and Rw = 0.040 (2) on the basis of 782 and 2108 unique reflections. Bond lengths and angles in the two compounds are normal. 2 has what has been considered to be the less likely tautomeric structure. Both compounds were examined by 1H, 13C nmr, vibrational spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy. For 2 there was no evidence of the alternative tautomeric structure. New methods were developed for the preparation of both compounds and the mechanism of the original reaction rationalized.

A series of novel bistriazenes, the 1,2-bis(1-aryl-3-methyltriazen-3-yl)ethanes, Ar-N T N-NMe-CH2CH2-NMe-N T N-Ar, have been synthesized by diazonium coupling with N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine. These bistriazenes are stable crystalline compounds and have been unequivocally characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C), and elemental analysis. The structures of two compounds in the series have been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The 1H NMR spectra show significant line broadening of the N-methyl resonances arising from the restricted rotation around the N2-N3 bond of the triazene units. The presence of strongly electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl ring restricts the rotation to the point where the N-methyl signals of the rotamers are distinct even at room temperature; four resonances of the N-methyl signal are clearly evident and these can be assigned to the anti-anti, syn-syn, and syn-anti conformations of the bistriazene. Diazonium coupling with N,N'-diethylethylenediamine affords the N,N'-diethyl homologues of the bistriazenes, which have been similarly characterized. As model compounds to assist in spectroscopic analysis, a series of related triazenes, the 1-(1-aryl-3-methyltriazen-3-yl)-N,N-dimethyl-2-ethanamines, were prepared by diazonium coupling with N,N,N'-trimethylethylenediamine. These dialkyltriazenes exist mainly as oils, but characterization was achieved by IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, also showing the presence of two rotamers in solution when strongly electron-withdrawing substituents are bonded to the aryl moiety.Key words: triazene, bistriazene, diazonium, ethylenediamine, molecular dynamics, NMR.

X-ray crystallography was used to determine the structure of (−)cis(5R,6S)-5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine, a γ-radiation induced product of thymidine. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P212121 and have cell dimensions a = 8.420(1) Å, b = 10.422(1) Å, and 13.552(1) Å. The half-chair pucker of the 5,6-saturated pyrimidine ring is similar to that observed for the isolated base with the cis configuration, and is described by the Cremer–Pople parameters Q = 0.48 Å, θ = 62°, and [Formula: see text]. The conformation about the N-glycosyl bond is anti; the χ angle (−111.6(5)°) lies at one extreme of the range previously seen for nucleosides (−180 to −115°). The pucker 2T1 of the sugar (P = 151.2°; τm = 36.5°) contrasts with the O4′-endo type of pucker seen in 5,6-dihydrothymidine (0T4) and (5S)-5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidine (0T1). The conformation about the C4′—C5′ bond is gauche+. The solid state structure is similar to that determined in aqueous solution by 1H nmr.

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.

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.

A series of complexes of the type trans-[Co((BA)2en)(amine)2]ClO4 — where (BA)2en is the bis(benzoylacetone)ethylenediimine dianion and the amines are morpholine (mrpln) 1, aniline (aniln) 2, benzylamine (bzlan) 3, piperidine (pprdn) 4, p-toluidine (p-toldn) 5, and pyrrolidine (prldn) 6 — has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV–vis, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structure of trans-[Co((BA)2en)(mrpln)2]ClO4 (1) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical reduction of these complexes at a glassy-carbon electrode, in the potential range of 0.5 to –2.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), in acetonitrile solution, indicates that the first reduction potential of Co(III/II) is irreversible, which is accompanied by the dissociation of the axial amine–cobalt bonds. This potential is dependent on the pKa of the axial amines. The second reduction potential of Co(II/I) shows reversible behavior and is also independent of the axial amine pKa. These results indicate the loss of the axial amines in the first redox process and the involvement of a four-coordinate species in the second redox step.Key words: Schiff base, cobalt(III), axial amine, electrochemical properties, crystal structure.

The crystal and molecular structure of chloro(methyl phytochlorinato)iron(III), 4, have been determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography to obtain further information on the conformation of metallochlorins related to chlorophyll. The compound crystallized with two independent molecules mainly distinguished by the orientation of the axial ligand. The macrocycles show significant deviations from planarity larger than those observed in corresponding magnesium(II) complexes. The overall type of distortion is similar to those found in chlorophyllides. Compound 4 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21 (MoKa,λ = 0.71063 A) with unit cell dimensions a = 12.035(6) Å, b = 13.396(8) Å, c = 19.04(2), b = 97.51(2) Å, Z = 4, V = 3043(4) Å3. The structure was refined to an R-value of 0.075 on the basis of 3974 reflections with I > 3.0σ(Ι) (130 Κ).

As a result of an investigation undertaken to evaluate the acetamidomethyl group (—CH2NHCOCH3) as a water-solubilizing protecting group for thiolate ligands, a new type of oxotechnetium(V) complex was prepared. The compound oxobis(ethan-1,2-dithiolato-S,µS′)technetium(V)oxo(ethan-1,2-dithiolato-S,S′)technetium(V), [(TcO)2(SCH2CH2S)3], 1, was synthesized by the reaction of [TcOCl4]− with either an excess of bis(acetamidomethyl)ethanedithiol or 1.5 equiv. of ethanedithiol. The complex was characterized by field desorption mass spectrometry (m/e = 505(8), 507(2.8)) and its structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 has a monoclinic space group P21/c with cell dimensions a = 8.833(2) Å, b = 15,034(3) Å, c = 11.350(2) Å, and β = 108.17(1)°, and has four formula units in the unit cell. Data were collected with the use of MoKα radiation and a Nicolet P3 diffractometer. The crystal structure was determined by standard methods and refined to R1 = 0.0366 and R2 = 0.0455 on the basis of 3312 independent reflections. The compound contains two technetium atoms. Two sulphur atoms of one square pyramidal TcOS4 core are bonded to another TcOS2 unit forming two square pyramids sharing an edge with an angle of 106.0(1) between the basal planes. TheTc—Tc distance is 3.654(1) Å. There are four distinct types of Tc—S bonds (range 2.256(2)—2.418(2) Å) and the Tc—O distances (1.66 Å) are normal.
