AbstractThe title compound has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions by the reaction of elemental chromium, antimony and selenium in a solution of 40% 1,2-ethanediamine (en) in methanol. The crystal structure consists of tetrahedral SbSe43- anions which are connected by monoprotonated 1,2-ethanediamine (enH+) cations via N-H--Se hydrogen bonding. The enH+ cations are joined via strong N-H -N hydrogen bonds between the ammonium hydrogen and the amino nitrogen atom forming four distinct chains, each built up of three crystallographically independent enH+ cations. Two of these chains are running parallel to [100], the other two are parallel to [010]. Based on this arrangement different centrosymmetric or non-centrosymmetric hydrogen bonding patterns are possible, but only in one chain the sequence of NH2 and NH3+ groups was determined by X-ray diffraction

Two improved general routes to 2′,6′-dihydroxychalcones are described in which the final step is protective-group removal from O 2′ under mild acid conditions. The first involves base-catalysed condensation of benzaldehydes with 2′-hydroxy-6′-tetrahydropyran-2-yloxyacetophenone, the second ring-opening of 5-hydroxyflavanones with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in the presence of a trialkylchlorosilane to trap out the chalcone as a bis silyl ether. Chalcones prepared by the first route are 2',6'-dihydroxychalcone (1), and its 4-methoxy (2), 3,4-dimethoxy (3), 3,4,5-trimethoxy (4), and 2,4,6-trimethoxy (5) derivatives. The 4-chloro derivative (6) and the chalcone from hesperetin are prepared by the second method. .The X-ray crystal structure of 2',6'-dihydroxy-2,4,6-trimethoxychalcone (5), the first for a 2',6′-dihydroxychalcone, is reported, the hydrogen involved in intramolecular hydrogen-bonding between the carbonyl and phenolic oxygens being located for the first time for any 2'-hydroxychalcone derivative. The O 6' involved in the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding is also hydrogen-bonded intermolecularly to the hydrogen of the other (2'-)hydroxy group of a neighbouring molecule in the lattice. 13C n.m.r. data are the first reported for a series of 2',6'-dihydroxychalcones.

It is thought that hydrogen bonding is responsible for the ferroelectricity in ammonium tetrafluoroberyllate, (NH_{4})_{2}BeF_{4}. In the past X-ray data have been collected, but these did not permit accurate determination of the H-atom positions. In order to obtain more accurate information the neutron structures have now been determined for the paraelectric and ferroelectric phases. Going from the paraelectric to the ferroelectric phase, both the BeF_4^{2-} and the NH_4^+ ions rotate and shift from the mirror planes of the paraelectric phase. This results in removal of the mirror-plane symmetry and formation of a superlattice with the a axis doubled. Along the polar c axis, the NH_4^+ ions move towards the BeF_4^{2-} ions within chains of molecules and the chains move slightly relative to one another. The rotations and translations give rise to stronger hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Six methyl-substituted 2-pyrimidonium chloride salts have been prepared and the rates of hydrogen exchange of their reactive methyl groups (at the 4- and 6-positions) have been determined in DCl/D2O solution. Adjacent methyl groups, whether on nitrogen or carbon, activate the exchanging centres, whereas more distant methyl groups have a deactivating effect. The molecular geometry of the salts has been determined by X-ray crystallography with the view to determining whether the presence of strain in the pyrimidonium ring can account for the activating effect of adjacent methyl. The most reactive compound, the 1,5,6-trimethylpyrimidonium chloride, has a geometry that is consistent with high reactivity, viz. a non-planar ring and short H … H intermethyl distance. However, the 1,4,5,6-tetramethyl compound, which also is non-planar and has an extremely short 5-6 intermethyl distance (1.99 Å), is not highly reactive; that is, the heightened strain is unable to overcome the deactivating inductive effect of the additional methyl group. We conclude that deviations from ring planarity and short intermethyl distances are insufficient to account for the activation produced by adjacent methyl though they appear to be contributing factors to this effect.

The structures of two isomeric 3,5-di-t-butyl-2-[(3,5-di-t-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl){(Z)-methylimino}- methyl]cyclopent-2-en-1-ones, formed upon photoexcitation of 3,5-di-t-butyl-7-(3,5-di-t-butyl-2- hydroxyphenyl)-1-methyl-1H-azepin-2(3H)-one in methanol, have been established by X-ray diffraction, and are found to be examples of atropisomeric ketimines. In both isomers, the geometry of imino substitution is characterized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the phenolic hydroxyl.

The hydrogen-bond patterns in hydrogen phthalates (HP) have been elucidated by the determination of the crystal structures of hydrogen phthalate salts of [Mg(H2O)4-(CH3OH)2]2+, 2-(2′-pyridylamine)pyridinium and diethylammonium. The stoichiometry of the latter salt corresponds to a hydrogen phthalate salt; however, it contains the phthalic acid in its three possible acid–base forms. The hydrogen phthalate ions in the three salts display the two common hydrogen-bonding motifs. One has a very short intramolecular O—H—O hydrogen bond (Intra-H), as seen in the magnesium salt [O...O 2.397 (2) Å]. In the other two salts the hydrogen phthalate ions are connected by hydrogen bonds into infinite chains (Chain-H) with O...O distances of 2.460 (1) Å in the diethylamine salt and 2.610 (1) Å in the 2,2′-dipyridylamine salt. This difference in hydrogen-bond pattern was further elucidated by a search in the Cambridge Structural Database for other hydrogen phthalate salts. Intra-H possesses the shortest O...O distances and an almost planar hydrogen phthalate ion, whereas the hydrogen phthalate ions show significantly more variation in the Chain-H salts. The two hydrogen-bonding motifs are reflected in the molecular geometry of the hydrogen phthalate ion.

The determination of the full crystal structure of the uranyl sulfate mineral uranopilite, including the positions of the H atoms in the corresponding unit cell, has not been feasible to date due to the poor quality of its X-ray diffraction pattern.
