CRYSTAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 5 2006
S. M. Malathy Sony
Abstract The complex crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/n with unit cell parameters a = 7.295(4), b = 19.627(5), c = 12.770(4) Å, , = 101.25(4)º, V = 1793.2(12) Å3, Z = 4, , = 1.684 Mg/m3 at T = 293(2)K. The structure was solved by Patterson method and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R = 0.0387 using 2906 observed reflections. The asymmetric unit of the complex contains a mononuclear tridentate ligand, a perchlorate group and a methanol molecule. The compound crystallizes as parallel layers of polymeric complex bridged through perchloarate groups. The molecular CuN2OO,O,,2 chromophore involves an elongated rhombic octahedral structure and the Cu-ligand bond shows greater disparity. The five-membered chelate ring and the pyridine ring lie in the same plane while the six membered chelate ring assumes sofa conformation. A strong O-H,O inter molecular interaction plays a key role in the formation of dimer along b-axis. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source]


A New Trinuclear Linear Copper(II) Complex: Unusual Crystal Structure with Semi-Coordinated Thiophene Moieties and Weak Antiferromagnetic Coupling Through the Bridging Imidazolate Rings

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 23 2004
Yufei F. Song
Abstract A trinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu3(imthio)2(NO3)4(MeOH)2] [where Himthio is 1,1-bis(imidazol-2-yl)-3-(thiophen-2-yl)-2-azapropane], has been synthesized by the reaction of Himthio with Cu(NO3)2·3H2O in MeOH. The structure of the copper complex is centrosymmetric and contains a linear trinuclear array of copper atoms. The central copper(II) ion, Cu1, which lies on an inversion centre, is equatorially coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from two anionic imthio ligands and axially by two semicoordinated thiophene sulfur atoms to give an octahedral environment (Cu1,S1 3.136 Å). The Himthio ligand bridges Cu1 and the terminal copper(II) ions through imidazole nitrogen atoms. The coordination around the external ions is completed by the oxygen atoms from two nitrate groups and by a methanol molecule in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The two terminal copper(II) complexes can be considered to be chelating ligands for the central CuII ion. The EPR spectrum of the complex in MeOH at 77 K shows two mononuclear species, as is fully confirmed by EPR simulation. Magnetic susceptibility of the complex shows weak antiferromagnetic behaviour (J = ,71.37 cm,1) caused by the overlapping of the magnetic orbitals of the copper atoms and the bridging imidazolate rings.

Properties of methanol bound to a defect of zeolitic structure

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2005
Nikolai F. Stepanov
Abstract Different mechanisms of Brønsted acidity formation upon the adsorption of a methanol molecule on a model Lewis acid site within zeolitic structure are evaluated by means of density functional theory in cluster approximation. The properties of the Brønsted acid sites formed are examined through studying their interaction with such probe molecules as methanol, ammonia, and ethylene. The results obtained are used to comment on a possible role of Lewis acid sites in methanol reactions catalyzed by zeolites. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2005 [source]


The crystal structure of perdeuterated methanol hemiammoniate (CD3OD·0.5ND3) determined from neutron powder diffraction data at 4.2 and 180,K

JOURNAL OF APPLIED CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, Issue 2 2010
A. D. Fortes
The crystal structure of perdeuterated methanol hemiammoniate, CD3OD·0.5ND3, has been solved from neutron powder diffraction data collected at 4.2 and 180,K. The structure is orthorhombic, space group Pn21a (Z = 4), with unit-cell dimensions a = 12.70615,(16), b = 8.84589,(9), c = 4.73876,(4),Å, V = 532.623,(8),Å3 [,calc = 1149.57,(2),kg,m,3] at 4.2,K, and a = 12.90413,(16), b = 8.96975,(8), c = 4.79198,(4),Å, V = 554.656,(7),Å3 [,calc = 1103.90,(1),kg,m,3] at 180,K. The crystal structure was determined by ab initio methods from the powder data; atomic coordinates and isotropic displacement parameters were subsequently refined by the Rietveld method to Rp, 2% at both temperatures. The crystal structure comprises a three-dimensionally hydrogen-bonded network in which the ND3 molecules are tetrahedrally coordinated by the hydroxy moieties of the methanol molecule. This connectivity leads to the formation of zigzag chains of ammonia,hydroxy groups extending along the c axis, formed via N,D···O hydrogen bonds; these chains are cross-linked along the a axis through the hydroxy moiety of the second methanol molecule via N,D···O and O,D···O hydrogen bonds. This `bridging' hydroxy group in turn donates an O,D···N hydrogen bond to ammonia in adjacent chains stacked along the b axis. The methyl deuterons in methanol hemiammoniate, unlike those in methanol monoammoniate, do not participate in hydrogen bonding and reveal evidence of orientational disorder at 180,K. The relative volume change on warming from 4.2 to 180,K, ,V/V, is + 4.14%, which is comparable to, but more nearly isotropic (as determined from the relative change in axial lengths, e.g.,a/a) than, that observed in deuterated methanol monohydrate, and very similar to what is observed in methanol monoammoniate.

An original approach to determining traces of tetracycline antibiotics in milk and eggs by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 14 2002
Federica Bruno
An original and highly specific method able to identify and quantify traces of five tetracycline antibiotics (TCAs) in milk and eggs is presented. This method uses a single solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge for simultaneous extraction and purification of TCAs in the above matrices. After diluting 5,mL of intact whole milk or 2,g egg samples with Na2EDTA-containing water, samples are passed through a 0.5-g Carbograph 4 extraction cartridge. After analyte elution from the SPE cartridge, an aliquot of the final extract is injected into a liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) instrument equipped with an electrospray ion source and a single quadrupole. MS data acquisition is performed in the positive-ion mode and by a time-scheduled multiple-ion selected ion-monitoring program. With methanol as organic modifier, the in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID) process generated fragment ions able to pick up one methanol molecule. In several cases, these methanol-adduct fragment ions have m/z values higher than those of the protonated molecules. This event is rarely encountered in MS, thus making the analysis of TCAs by this method extremely specific. Compared with a conventional published method, the present protocol extracted larger amounts of TCAs from both milk and egg and decreased the analysis time by a factor of 3. Recovery of TCAs in milk at the 25-ppb level ranged between 81 and 96% with relative standard deviation (RSD) no larger than 9%. Recovery of TCAs in egg at the 50-ppb level ranged between 72 and 92% with RSD no larger than 7%. Estimated limits of quantification(S/N,=,10) of the method were 2,9 ppb TCAs in whole milk and 2,19 ppb TCAs in eggs. Copyright© 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Structural comparison of three N -(4-halogenophenyl)- N,-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]hydrazine hydrochlorides

2-{1-[(4-Chloroanilino)methylidene]ethyl}pyridinium chloride methanol solvate, C13H13ClN3+·Cl,·CH3OH, (I), crystallizes as discrete cations and anions, with one molecule of methanol as solvent in the asymmetric unit. The N,C,C,N torsion angle in the cation indicates a cis conformation. The cations are located parallel to the (02) plane and are connected through hydrogen bonds by a methanol solvent molecule and a chloride anion, forming zigzag chains in the direction of the b axis. The crystal structure of 2-{1-[(4-fluoroanilino)methylidene]ethyl}pyridinium chloride, C13H13FN3+·Cl,, (II), contains just one anion and one cation in the asymmetric unit but no solvent. In contrast with (I), the N,C,C,N torsion angle in the cation corresponds with a trans conformation. The cations are located parallel to the (100) plane and are connected by hydrogen bonds to the chloride anions, forming zigzag chains in the direction of the b axis. In addition, the crystal packing is stabilized by weak ,,, interactions between the pyridinium and benzene rings. The crystal of (II) is a nonmerohedral monoclinic twin which emulates an orthorhombic diffraction pattern. Twinning occurs via a twofold rotation about the c axis and the fractional contribution of the minor twin component refined to 0.324,(3). 2-{1-[(4-Fluoroanilino)methylidene]ethyl}pyridinium chloride methanol disolvate, C13H13FN3+·Cl,·2CH3OH, (III), is a pseudopolymorph of (II). It crystallizes with two anions, two cations and four molecules of methanol in the asymmetric unit. Two symmetry-equivalent cations are connected by hydrogen bonds to a chloride anion and a methanol solvent molecule, forming a centrosymmetric dimer. A further methanol molecule is hydrogen bonded to each chloride anion. These aggregates are connected by C,H...O contacts to form infinite chains. It is remarkable that the geometric structures of two compounds having two different formula units in their asymmetric units are essentially the same. [source]


{4-[(Carbamimidoylhydrazono)methyl-,2N1,N4]-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyridinium-3-olate-,O}(methanol-,O)copper(II) dinitrate

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 9 2009
Vukadin M. Leovac
The title compound, [Cu(C9H13N5O2)(CH4O)](NO3)2, consists of square-planar cationic complex units where the CuII centre is coordinated by an N,N,,O -tridentate pyridoxal,aminoguanidine Schiff base adduct and a methanol molecule. The tridentate ligand is a zwitterion exhibiting an almost planar conformation. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the pyridoxal ring and the six- and five-membered chelate rings are all less than 2.0°. The charge on the complex cation is neutralized by two nitrate counter-ions. Extensive N,H...O and C,H...O hydrogen bonding connects these ionic species and leads to the formation of layers. The pyridoxal hydroxy groups are the only fragments that deviate significantly from the flat layer structure; these groups are involved in O,H...O hydrogen bonding, connecting the layers into a three-dimensional crystal structure.

Abstract Three new carboxylato-bridged polymeric networks of MnII having,molecular formula [Mn(ox)(dpyo)]n (1), {[Mn2(mal)2(bpee)(H2O)2]·0.5(bpee)·0.5(CH3OH)}n (2) and {[Mn3(btc)2(2,2,-bipy)2(H2O)6]·4H2O}n (3) [dpyo, 4,4,-bipyridine N,N,-dioxide; bpee, trans -1,2 bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene; 2,2,-bipy, 2,2,-bipyridine; ox = oxalate dianion; mal = malonate dianion; btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate trianion] have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and low temperature magnetic measurements. Structure determination of complex 1 reveals a covalent bonded 2D network containing bischelating oxalate and bridging dpyo; complex 2 is a covalent bonded 3D polymeric architecture, formed by bridging malonate and bpee ligands, resulting in an open framework with channels filled by uncoordinated disordered bpee and methanol molecules. Whereas complex 3, comprising btc anions bound to three metal centers, is a 1D chain which further extends its dimensionality to 3D via - and H-bonding interactions. Low temperature magnetic measurements reveal the existence of weak antiferromagnetic interaction in all these complexes. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source]


Hydrogen-bonding effects on electronic g -tensors of semiquinone anion radicals: Relativistic density functional investigation

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 4-5 2002
Konstantin M. Neyman
Abstract We report results of systematic g -tensor calculations of hydrogen-bonded complexes of two benchmark semiquinone anion radicals, 1,4 -benzoquinone and tetramethyl- 1,4 -benzoquinone (duroquinone), with water and methanol molecules. The calculations have been carried out with the help of a recently developed g -tensor module that is based on a relativistic density functional method that takes spin,orbit interaction self-consistently into account. We demonstrate the applicability of this new computational scheme to describe quantitatively delicate effects of hydrogen bonding on electronic g -tensor values. Also, we explored general trends of how g -tensors depend on the structure and stoichiometry of hydrogen-bonded semiquinone complexes. Complexes exhibiting one hydrogen bond per oxygen atom of the quinones with a linear arrangement of the CO , H moieties were shown to feature g-shifts induced by these hydrogen bonds that are in close agreement with measured electron paramagnetic resonance data. Based on deviations of calculated and measured g-components, we classify all other model complexes studied as less probable under the experimental conditions. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pervaporation separation of sodium alginate/chitosan polyelectrolyte complex composite membranes for the separation of water/alcohol mixtures: Characterization of the permeation behavior with molecular modeling techniques

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 4 2007
Sang-Gyun Kim
Abstract Polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) membranes were prepared by the complexation of protonated chitosan with sodium alginate doped on a porous, polysulfone-supporting membrane. The pervaporation characteristics of the membranes were investigated with various alcohol/water mixtures. The physicochemical properties of the permeant molecules and polyion complex membranes were determined with molecular modeling methods, and the data from these methods were used to explain the permeation of water and alcohol molecules through the PEC membranes. The experimental results showed that the prepared PEC membranes had an excellent pervaporation performance in most aqueous alcohol solutions and that the selectivity and permeability of the membranes depended on the molecular size, polarity, and hydrophilicity of the permeant alcohols. However, the aqueous methanol solutions showed a permeation behavior different from that of the other alcohol solutions. Methanol permeated the prepared PEC membranes more easily than water even though water molecules have stronger polarity and are smaller than methanol molecules. The experimental results are discussed from the point of view of the physical properties of the permeant molecules and the membranes in the permeation state. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Time-dependent density functional theory study on the electronic excited-state geometric structure, infrared spectra, and hydrogen bonding of a doubly hydrogen-bonded complex

JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Issue 16 2009
Yufang Liu
Abstract The geometric structures and infrared (IR) spectra in the electronically excited state of a novel doubly hydrogen-bonded complex formed by fluorenone and alcohols, which has been observed by IR spectra in experimental study, are investigated by the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The geometric structures and IR spectra in both ground state and the S1 state of this doubly hydrogen-bonded FN-2MeOH complex are calculated using the DFT and TDDFT methods, respectively. Two intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed between FN and methanol molecules in the doubly hydrogen-bonded FN-2MeOH complex. Moreover, the formation of the second intermolecular hydrogen bond can make the first intermolecular hydrogen bond become slightly weak. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the spectral shoulder at around 1700 cm,1 observed in the IR spectra should be assigned as the doubly hydrogen-bonded FN-2MeOH complex from our calculated results. The electronic excited-state hydrogen bonding dynamics is also studied by monitoring some vibraitonal modes related to the formation of hydrogen bonds in different electronic states. As a result, both the two intermolecular hydrogen bonds are significantly strengthened in the S1 state of the doubly hydrogen-bonded FN-2MeOH complex. The hydrogen bond strengthening in the electronically excited state is similar to the previous study on the singly hydrogen-bonded FN-MeOH complex and play important role on the photophysics of fluorenone in solutions. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermally stable porous supramolecular frameworks based on the metal and ,,, stacking directed self-assembly of 2,6-pyridyldicarboxylic acid bis-4-pyridylamide

JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2003
Juan C. Noveron
Abstract We report the formation of two thermally stable supramolecular structures based on 2,6-pyridyldicarboxylic acid bis-4-pyridylamide (PyI) and bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)manganese(II) that exhibits a microporous structure with cavities bearing hydrogen bonding motifs that can enclathrate acetone and methanol molecules via well-positioned hydrogen bonding interactions. Single-crystal x-ray diffraction in combination with thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) studies were utilized to study the structure and thermal behavior of trans -[Mn(hfacac)2(PyI)2]·2(CH3)2CO (1) and trans -[Mn(hfacac)2(PyI)2]·2CH3OH (2). Our studies indicated that 1 and 2 are isostructural with respect to their supramolecular assembly and trap solvent molecules along the crystallographic b direction via the inwardly directed hydrogen bonding motifs of the PyI component. These solvent molecules can be thermally removed to generate a crystalline material with micropores bearing hydrogen bonding rich sites within an overall supramolecular matrix similar to 1 and 2. The removal of the guest solvent molecules is reversible and can be followed with XRPD. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Two new cobalt(II) fumarates and a redetermination of tetraaquacobalt(II) fumarate monohydrate

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 9 2009
Sándor L. Bekö
Poly[triaqua-,4 -fumarato-cobalt(II)], [Co(C4H2O4)(H2O)3]n, (I), contains two symmetry-independent octahedrally coordinated Co2+ ions, both on inversion centers. One Co2+ ion is coordinated by two water molecules and four fumarate dianions, whereas the other Co2+ ion is surrounded by four water molecules and two fumarate dianions. Each fumarate dianion is bonded to three Co2+ ions, leading to a two-dimensional structure. The fumarate dianions are nonplanar; the angle between the planes of the two carboxylate groups is 54.9,(2)°. The cobalt(II) fumarate layers are connected by hydrogen bonding into a three-dimensional network. Compound (I) is not isostructural with calcium(II) fumarate trihydrate [Gupta et al. (1972). Acta Cryst. B28, 135,139]. In poly[,4 -fumarato-dimethanolcobalt(II)], [Co(C4H2O4)(CH4O)2]n, (II), the Co2+ ions are octahedrally coordinated by four fumarate dianions and two methanol molecules, leading to a three-dimensional structure. The fumarate group is planar. The Co2+ ions and the fumarate dianions both lie on inversion centers. Additionally, the one-dimensional structure of catena -poly[[[tetraaquacobalt(II)]-,2 -fumarato] monohydrate], {[Co(C4H2O4)(H2O)4]·H2O}n, (III), was redetermined at a higher resolution, and the space group C2/c was confirmed.

Abstract A novel heterometallic metal-isonicotinic acid inorganic-organic hybrid complex [Zn0.5(H2O)]{(Hg2Cl5)- [Er(C6NO2H4)3(H2O)2]}(HgCl2)·0.5CH3OH·0.5H2O (1) has been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the space group C2/c of the monoclinic system with eight formula units in a cell: a=34.165(4) Å, b=9.4692(8) Å, c=24.575(3) Å, , =115.090(5)°, V=7200(1) Å3, C18.50H21Cl7ErHg3N3O10Zn0.50, Mr=1495.25, Dc=2.759 g/cm3, T=293(2) K, µ(Mo K,) =15.954 mm,1, F(000) =5400 and R1/wR2=0.0561/0.0909 for 3157 observed reflections [I>2,(I)] and 6468 unique reflections. Complex 1 is characteristic of a novel 2D {(Hg2Cl5)[Er(C6NO2H4)3(H2O)2]} layered structure constructed from the [Er(C6NO2H4)3(H2O)2] chains interconnected by the Hg2Cl5, linkers. The 2D {(Hg2Cl5)[Er(C6NO2H4)3(H2O)2]} layers, mercury chloride and the lattice water molecules are held together via hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional framework with the methanol molecules and the hydrated zinc ions located in the cavities. The magnetic properties show that complex 1 exhibits antiferromagnetic-like interactions. [source]
