A new synthetic method for obtaining [RhCl(cod)(NHC)] complexes (1–4) (cod = η4-1,5-cyclooctadiene, NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene: IMes, SIMes, IPr, and SIPr, respectively) is reported together with the catalytic properties of 1–4 in nitrile hydration. In addition to the characterization of 1–4 in solution by 13C NMR spectroscopy, the structures of complexes 3, and 4 have been established also in the solid state with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Rh(I)-NHC complexes displayed excellent catalytic activity in hydration of aromatic nitriles (up to TOF = 276 h−1) in water/2-propanol (1/1 v/v) mixtures in air.

The preparation and characterization of tris-pyridyl bispidine (3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) derivatives with benzimidazole and imidazole donor groups at the N-3 position of the bispidine skeleton and their copper(II) complexes are reported. The impact of the hetaryl substituents on the configurational isomerism of piperidones and their corresponding bispidones has been studied by NMR spectroscopy, revealing the exclusive appearance in the enol form for the piperidones in solution and the trans-configuration regarding the two pyridyl substituents, as well as the sole formation of the unsymmetric exo-endo isomers for the corresponding bispidones. Thus, the bispidones are preorganized ligands for building pentacoordinated complexes, confirmed by the preparation and characterization of the corresponding Cu(II) complexes. Of the di-pyridyl piperidones with benzimidazole and imidazole substituents, and of the Cu(II) complex of the benzimidazole-containing bispidone, crystals have become available for the analysis by X-ray diffraction, showing that the piperidones form the enol tautomers also in the solid state.

The aluminium complexes {[κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]AlMe2}2 (2), [κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]2AlMe (3), and [κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]3Al (4) were prepared through the protonolysis reaction between trimethylaluminium and one, two, or three equivalents, respectively, of N-tert-butylbenzamide. Complex 2 was also prepared via a salt metathesis reaction between K(t-BuNCOPh) and dimethylaluminium chloride. Complexes 2–4 were characterized using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the complexes corroborated ligand : metal stoichiometries and revealed that all the amidate ligands coordinate to the aluminium ion in a κ2 fashion. The Al–amidate complexes 2–4 were viable catalyst precursors for the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley–Oppenauer reduction–oxidation manifold, successfully interconverting several classes of carbonyl and alcohol substrates.

Three model compounds of poly(tetramethylene terephthalamide) or 4T Nylon have been synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, and 13CCP/MAS nmr spectroscopy. The model compounds are the para-substituted N,N′-tetramethylene dibenzamides, where the substituents are the—OMe, —tBu, —CN, and —CH3 groups. The crystal structure determinations reveal three distinct conformations for the CO—NH—(CH2)4—NH—CO sequence of atoms. The conformation is all trans for OMe, tgtttg−t for the tBu substituent, and tsttts−t for the CN substituent ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]). In all three derivatives, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and the amide plane is around 30°. The OMe and tBu para-substituted molecules are interconnected by nearly linear hydrogen bonds of normal N … O distances. However, for the CN derivative the N … O distance is exceptionally short, 2.402(4) Å. On the basis of its infrared and solid state nmr spectra, it is proposed that N,N′-tetramethylene di-para-methyl benzamide has a crystal structure comparable to that of its unsubstituted analog. The methylenic sequence of the parent polyamide, 4T Nylon, has the tgtttg−t conformation. Furthermore, the polyamide chains form sheets within which the chains, parallel to one another, are connected through hydrogen bonds. Keywords: polyamide, crystal structure, solid-state nmr.

A series of dodecyl 1-thio-β-D-glycosides has been synthesized and characterized (DSC, NMR, CP MAS, X-ray diffraction) as possible new marking materials with liquid-crystalline properties. These compounds undergo solid to liquid crystal phase transitions at various temperatures, which depend on the nature of the carbohydrate part of the structure. Their liquid-crystalline phases show extreme shear thinning behaviour.Key words: liquid crystal, powder X-ray diffraction, phase transition, thioglycoside, solid-state NMR, marking material
