A new chemoenzymatic method has been developed for the synthesis of (S)- and (R)-N-(6-hydroxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl) acetamide, two key synthons for the preparation of (S)-pramipexole, an anti-Parkinson drug, and its enantiomer dexpramipexole, which is currently under investigation for the treatment of eosinophil-associated disorders. These two building blocks have been obtained in good yields and high enantiomeric excess (30% and >98% ee for the R-enantiomer, and 31% and >99% ee for the S- one) through a careful optimization of the reaction conditions, starting from the corresponding racemic mixture and using two consecutive irreversible transesterifications, catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase type A. Single crystal X-ray analysis has been carried out to unambiguously define the stereochemistry of the two enantiomers, and to explore in depth their three-dimensional features.

Large-scale single-crystal cubic PbS nanorods were successfully achieved by using ultrasound irradiation in certain ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) solutions, particularly in the solution of Pb:EDTA = 1:1. The obtained PbS nanorods were characterized using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersed x-ray spectrometry, selected area electronic diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results reveal that the PbS nanorods with straight and uniform structure have a diameter of about 70–80 nm and length of about 1000 nm, where the growth mechanism is tentatively discussed. The successful synthesis of these cubic structure semiconductor PbS nanorods may open up new possibilities for using these materials as building blocks to create functional two-dimensional or three-dimensional nanostructured materials.

Two isostructural diarsenates, SrZnAs2O7(strontium zinc diarsenate), (I), and BaCuAs2O7[barium copper(II) diarsenate], (II), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The three-dimensional open-framework crystal structure consists of corner-sharingM2O5(M2 = Zn or Cu) square pyramids and diarsenate (As2O7) groups. Each As2O7group shares its five corners with five differentM2O5square pyramids. The resulting framework delimits two types of tunnels aligned parallel to the [010] and [100] directions where the large divalent nine-coordinatedM1 (M1 = Sr or Ba) cations are located. The geometrical characteristics of theM1O9,M2O5and As2O7groups of known isostructural diarsenates, adopting the general formulaM1IIM2IIAs2O7(M1II= Sr, Ba, Pb;M2II= Mg, Co, Cu, Zn) and crystallizing in the space groupP21/n, are presented and discussed.

The equiatomic rare earth compounds REPtZn (RE = Y, Pr, Nd, Gd-Tm) were synthesized from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes by high-frequency melting at 1500 K followed by annealing at 1120 K and quenching. The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The structures of four crystals were refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: TiNiSi type, Pnma, a = 707.1(1), b = 430.0(1), c = 812.4(1) pm, wR2 = 0.066, 602 F2, 21 variables for PrPt1.056Zn0.944; a = 695.2(1), b = 419.9(1), c = 804.8(1) pm, wR2 = 0.041, 522 F2, 21 variables for GdPt0.941Zn1.059; a = 688.2(1), b = 408.1(1), c = 812.5(1) pm, wR2 = 0.041, 497 F2, 22 variables for HoPt1.055Zn0.945; a = 686.9(1), b = 407.8(1), c = 810.4(1) pm, wR2 = 0.061, 779 F2, 20 variables for ErPtZn. The single-crystal data indicate small homogeneity ranges REPt1±xZn1±x. The platinum and zinc atoms build up three-dimensional [PtZn] networks (265 - 269 pm Pt-Zn in ErPtZn) in which the erbium atoms fill cages with coordination number 16 (6 Pt + 6 Zn + 4 Er). Bonding of the erbium atoms to the [PtZn] network proceeds via shorter RE-Pt distances, i. e. 288 - 293 pm in ErPtZn.

We have developed magnetically oriented microcrystal array (MOMA) technique that enables single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses from microcrystalline powder. In this method, microcrystals suspended in a UV-curable monomer matrix are there-dimensionally aligned by special rotating magnetic field, followed by consolidation of the matrix by photopolymerization. From thus achieved MOMAs, we have been succeeded in crystal structure analysis for some substances [1, 2]. Though MOMA method is an effective technique, it has some problems as follows: in a MOMA, the alignment is deteriorated during the consolidation process. In addition, the sample microcrystals cannot be recovered from a MOMA. To overcome these problems, we performed an in-situ X-ray diffraction measurement using a three-dimensional magnetically oriented microcrystal suspension (3D MOMS) of L-alanine. An experimental setting of the in-situ X-ray measurement of MOMS is schematically shown in the figure. L-alanine microcrystal suspension was poured into a glass capillary and placed on the rotating unit equipped with a pair of neodymium magnets. Rotating X-ray chopper with 10°-slits was placed between the collimator and the suspension. By using this chopper, it was possible to expose the X-ray only when the rotating MOMS makes a specific direction with respect to the impinging X-ray. This has the same effect as the omega oscillation in conventional single crystal measurement. A total of 22 XRD images of 10° increments from 0° to 220° were obtained. The data set was processed by using conventional software to obtain three-dimensional molecular structure of L-alanine. The structure is in good agreement with that reported for the single crystal. R1 and wR2 were 6.53 and 17.4 %, respectively. RMSD value between the determined molecular structure and the reported one was 0.0045 Å. From this result, we conclude that this method can be effective and practical to be used widely for crystal structure analyses.

AbstractThe title compounds were synthesized at a temperature of 700 °C via oxidation of elemental Bi with the hyperoxides AO2 or via reaction of the elemental alkali metals A with Bi2O3. Their crystal structures have been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction. They are dominated by two possible surroundings of Bi by O, the ψ-trigonal-bipyramidal three (B) and the ψ-tetrahedral four (T) coordination. Cs6Bi4O9 (triclinic, spacegroup P1̄, a = 813.82(12), b = 991.60(14), c = 1213.83(18) pm, α = 103.658(2), β = 93.694(3), γ = 91.662(3)°, Z = 2) contains centrosymmetric chain segmentes [Bi8O18]12- with six three- (T) and two four-coordinated (B) Bi(III) centers. K9Bi5O13 (monoclinic, spacegroup P21/c, a = 1510.98(14), b = 567.59(5), c = 2685.6(2) pm, β = 111.190(2)°, Z = 4) is a mixed valence compound with isolated [BivO4]3- tetrahedra and chains [BiIII4O9]6- of two T and two B coordinated Bi. In the compounds A2Bi4O7 (A = Rb/Cs: monoclinic, C2/c, a = 2037.0(3) / 2130.6(12), b = 1285.5(2) / 1301.9(7), c = 1566.6(2) / 1605.6(9) pm, β = 94.783(3) / 95.725(9)°, Z = 8) ribbons [Bi4O6O2/2]2- are formed, which are condensed to form a three-dimensional framework.

The rare earth metal (RE)-magnesium-thallides REMgTl (RE = Y, La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Tm, Lu) were prepared from the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a water-cooled sample chamber of a high-frequency furnace. The thallides were characterized through their X-ray powder patterns. They crystallize with the hexagonal ZrNiAl type structure, space group P62m, with three formula units per cell. Four structures were refined from X-ray single crystal diffractometer data: α = 750.5(1), c = 459.85(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0491, 364 F2 values, 14 variables for YMgTl; α = 781.3(1), c = 477.84(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0640, BASF = 0.09(2), 425 F2 values, 15 variables for LaMgTl; α = 774.1(1), c = 473.75(7) pm, wR2 = 0.0405, 295 F2 values, 14 variables for CeMgTl; a = 760.3(1), c = 465.93(8) pm, wR2 = 0.0262, 287 F2 values, 14 variables for SmMgTl. The PrMgTl, NdMgTl, GdMgTl, TbMgTl, and DyMgTl structures have been analyzed using the Rietveld technique. The REMgTl structures contain two cystallographically independent thallium sites, both with tri-capped trigonal prismatic coordination: Tl1Mg3RE6 and Tl2Mg6RE3. Together the magnesium and thallium atoms form three-dimensional [MgTl] networks with Mg-Mg distances of 327 and Mg-Tl distances in the range 299 - 303 pm (data for CeMgTl)

AbstractRod-shaped single crystals of Sr4Pt10In21were prepared from the elements in glassy-carbon crucibles in a high-frequency furnace. The structure of Sr4Pt10In21was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data:C2/m, Ho4Ni10Ga21type,a = 2322.62(7),b = 450.27(2),c = 1958.09(7) pm,β = 133.191(3)°,wR = 0.0464, 3200F2values and 107 variables. The three-dimensional [Pt10In21]δ−polyanionic network is stabilized through substantial Pt–In (269–313 pm Pt–In) and In–In (294–362 pm In–In) bonding. All platinum atoms have slightly distorted tri-capped trigonal prismatic coordination and the two crystallographically independent strontium atoms are located in penta-capped pentagonal prisms.

The intermetallic cerium compounds CePdGe, CePtSi, and CePtGe were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing. The structure of CePtSi was refined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data: LaPtSi-type (ordered α-ThSi2 version), 141md, a = 419.6(1) and c = 1450.0(5) pm, wR2 = 0.0490, 362 F2 values and 16 variables. The Pt-Si distances within the three-dimensional [PtSi] network are 242 pm, indicating strong Pt-Si interactions. Hydrogenation of the three compounds at 623 K and 4 MPa H2 gave no indication for hydride formation.

Reaction of 6-arylmethylene-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclo-hepten-5-ones (1) with malononitrile in the appropriate alcohol in the presence of sodium afforded the corresponding 2-alkoxy-4-aryl- 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2-b]pyridine-3-carbonitriles (2) and not their isomeric forms 2-alkoxy-4-aryl-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[3,4]-cyclohepta[1,2-c]pyridine-1-carbonitriles (3). The proposed structure was confirmed via independent synthesis of (2) through the reaction of 6,7,8,9- tetrahydro-5-benzocycloheptenone (4) with the appropriate ylidenemalononitriles 5 under the same reaction conditions. Single crystal X-ray diffraction proves the structures of 2a,b.
