Abstract The X-ray structure of acantholide, a melampolide sesquiterpene lactone from Acanthosper­mum glabratum (D C .) Willd. was determined by the aid of direct methods. The compound was cy­totoxic but displayed no antitumor activity. Evaluation of the X-ray and NMR data indicated that the same conformation exists in the solid state as in solution.

Abstract Fragmentation of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles (1) leads to the compounds 5 - 8 with an increasing proportion of sulphur. Numerous structural possibilities exist for the products 7 with the general formula (R2C2)2S3. The number of proposals can be reduced by spectroscopic techniques, but the final structure determination is accomplished by an X-ray analysis of the title compound 7a. 7a crystallizes in the space group P21/c (Z = 4) with cell parameters of a = 9.714(1), b = 16.188(8), c = 9.149(2) Å and β = 98.93(1)°. The structure is solved by direct methods and refined to R = 0.053 with 1955 diffractometer data (I ≥ 2σ(I)). The trithiolane ring has a puckered conformation and the whole molecule shows nearly perfect C2-symmetry, which is not required crystallographically.

The X-ray crystal structure determination of bis[-(phenylcyanamido)bis(triphenylphosphine)copper(I)], [{Cu(PPh3)2(C6H5NCN)}2], (1) is reported. The complex has a centrosymmetric dimeric structure with the phenylcyanamide ligands bridging the copper atoms in a -1,3-fashion. The structure is compared with that of the 4-methylphenylcyanamido complex, [{Cu(PPh3)2(4-MeC6H4NCN)}2] (2), and the differences observed in the Cu–P bond lengths compared with changes in the solid state 31P cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS) spectra of the two complexes.

The crystal structure of tetra(propyn-1-yl)silane, Si(C≡CMe)4 1, has revealed a completely asymmetric molecule (point group C1). Since this finding concerns a single crystal, the bulk material of 1 was studied by solid-state 29Si and 13C MAS NMR. This confirmed the result of the X-ray analysis, and by comparison with previous NMR measurements of the tin analogue 1(Sn) it is concluded that 1 and 1(Sn) must have very similar solid-state structures which are in contrast to those known for other tetra(alkyn-1-yl)silicon and -tin compounds. The NMR data set of 1 in solution was completed by determination of the magnitude of coupling constants 1J(13C,13C).

The first X-ray structure of an isatin (2,3-indolinedione, isaH) metal complex, bis(isatinato)memury(II) (C16H8N2O4Hg) (1), was determined. (1) was obtained from the reaction of isaH with mercury(II) acetate in methanol. Analogously, treatment of sodium saccharinate and mercury(II) acetate in methanol yielded Hg(saccharinato)2•0.5CH3OH (3). (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/a with a = 7.299(1) Å, b = 8.192(1) Å, c = 11.601(1) Å , β = 105.82(1)°, V = 667.4 Å3, Z = 2, Dcalc = 2.452 g cm−3, MoKα radiation(λ = 0.71073 Å), μ = 115.5 cm-1, F(000) = 460, 21(1) °C. The structure was refined on the basis of 2023 observed reflections to R= 0.044. The two deprotonated, non coplanar isa ligands are trans to each other in a head to tail orientation and bound to the Hg through the nitrogen in a linear N-Hg-N arrangement. The Hg atom is at the center of symmetry of the complex and displaced by 0.62 Å from the two planes of the isa ligands (τ Hg-N1-C2-O2= -16°). The Hg-N bond length is 2.015 Å. Noπ-aryl-memury(ll)-π-aryl stacking interaction was observed either in the solid state or in the solution state. The IR, electronic, and H1 and C13NMR spectral data of (1) and (3) suggest binding of the memury to the heterocyclic nitrogen, in agreement with the crystal structure determination of (1).

Reaction of (C6H5CN)2PdCl2 and 1,3-dimethylenecyclohexane led to an exocyclic π-enyl complex of formula (C8H13PdCl)2-bis(η3-2-methylene-6-methylcyclohexyl)(di-µ-chloro)-dipalladium. IR and 1H NMR data are in agreement with this formulation.The compound is monoclinic, with unit cell dimensions α = 499.97 ± 0.08, b =1342.26 ± 0.19, c =1379.60 ± 0.20 pm, β = 99.43 ± 0.02°, space group C5h2-P21/C, Ζ = 2, dX-ray = 1.83 g/cm3.The structure was determined from three-dimensional X-ray data by Patterson and Fourier methods. Least squares refinement by use of 1045 independent reflections has reached R1 = 5.6%.

Structure determination of organic molecular solids from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data [1] is nowadays carried out extensively by researchers in both academia and industry, and the development of new methodology in this field has made particularly significant impact in the pharmaceuticals industry within the last 20 years or so. However, although software for carrying out each stage of the procedure for structure determination from powder XRD data is now readily accessible and relatively straightforward to use, it is essential that the results from such structure determination calculations are subjected to careful scrutiny to confirm that the final structure obtained is actually correct. In this regard, it can be particularly advantageous to augment the analysis of the powder XRD data and to assist the scrutiny of the structural results by considering complementary structural information derived from other experimental and computational techniques. Techniques that can be particularly valuable in this regard include solid-state NMR spectroscopy, energy calculations (either on individual molecules or periodic crystal structures), vibrational spectroscopies, and techniques of thermal analysis (e.g. DSC and TGA). The lecture will give an overview of the current "state of the art" in the structure determination of organic materials from powder XRD data, giving emphasis [2,3] to the opportunities to enhance the structure determination process by making use of information derived from other experimental (especially solid-state NMR) and computational techniques. Recent results will be presented, with emphasis on raising issues of relevance to research on pharmaceutical materials.
