X-ray analysis and structure determination of fluorolactonization products from the reaction of oleanolic acid with SelectfluorTM are reported.
The X-ray crystal structure data of 12-α-fluoro-3β-hydroxyolean-28,13β-olide methanol hemisolvate, 2C30H47FO3·CH3OH, (1), and 12-α-fluoro-3β-hydroxytaraxer-28,14β-olide methanol hemisolvate, 2C30H47FO3·CH3OH, (2), are described. The fluorolactonization of oleanolic acid using SelectfluorTM yielded a mixture of the six-membered δ-lactone (1) and the unusual seven-membered γ-lactone (2) following a 1,2-shift of methyl C-27 from C-14 to C-13.

The structures of the four thioglycosides, all Z-configured across the C=N(CN) moiety, differ in many important torsion angles. The C—N bond lengths at the central carbon atom of the carbamimidothioate group are almost equal. Three of the four structures form layers by hydrogen bonding.
The compounds 2′,3′,4′,6′-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl N′-cyano-N-phenylcarbamimidothioate (C22H25N3O9S, 5a), 2′,3′,4′,6′-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl N′-cyano-N-phenylcarbamimidothioate, (C22H25N3O9S, 5b), 2′,3′,4′,6′-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl N′-cyano-N-methylcarbamimidothioate (C17H23N3O9S, 5c), and 2′,3′,4′,6′-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl N′-cyano-N-p-tolylcarbamimidothioate (C23H27N3O9S, 5d) all crystallize in P212121 with Z = 4. For all four structures, the configuration across the central (formal) C=N(CN) double bond of the carbamimidothioate group is Z. The torsion angles C5—O1—C1—S (standard sugar numbering) are all close to 180°, confirming the β position of the substituent. Compound 5b involves an intramolecular hydrogen bond N—H⋯O1; in 5c this contact is the weaker branch of a three-centre interaction, whereas in 5a and 5d the H⋯O distances are much longer and do not represent significant interactions. The C—N bond lengths at the central carbon atom of the carbamimidothioate group are almost equal. All C—O—C=O torsion angles of the acetyl groups correspond to a synperiplanar geometry, but otherwise all four molecules display a high degree of conformational flexibility, with many widely differing torsion angles for equivalent groups. In the crystal packing, 5a, 5c and 5d form layer structures involving the classical hydrogen bond N—H⋯Ncyano and a variety of ‘weak’ hydrogen bonds C—H⋯O or C—H⋯S. The packing of 5b is almost featureless and involves a large number of borderline ‘weak’ hydrogen bonds. In an appendix, a potted history of wavelength preferences for structure determination is presented and it is recommended that, even for small organic crystals in non-centrosymmetric space groups, the use of Mo radiation should be considered.

In the title molecule, C11H11BrO3, the dihydroindene moiety is essentially planar but with a slight twist in the saturated portion of the five-membered ring. The methoxy groups lie close to the above plane. In the crystal, π-stacking interactions between six-membered rings form stacks of molecules extending along the a-axis directions, which are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds.

In [UO2L(CH3OH)]n, the acetate group of the 1,2,4-triazol-based ligand bridges two uranyl cations, forming a neutral zigzag chain. A solid-state LMCT transition at 463 nm is responsible for the light-red colour of the compound.
In the title complex, [U(C10H7N3O3)O2(CH3OH)]n, the UVI cation has a typical pentagonal–bipyramidal environment with the equatorial plane defined by one N and two O atoms of one doubly deprotonated 2-[5-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]acetic acid ligand, a carboxylate O atom of the symmetry-related ligand and the O atom of the methanol molecule [U—N/Oeq 2.256 (4)–2.504 (5) Å]. The axial positions are occupied by two oxide O atoms. The equatorial atoms are almost coplanar, with the largest deviation from the mean plane being 0.121 Å for one of the O atoms. The benzene and triazole rings of the tetradentate chelating–bridging ligand are twisted by approximately 21.6 (2)° with respect to each other. The carboxylate group of the ligand bridges two uranyl cations, forming a neutral zigzag chain reinforced by a strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, adjacent chains are linked into two-dimensional sheets parallel to the ac plane by C/N—H⋯N/O hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions. Further weak C—H⋯O contacts consolidate the three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. In the solid state, the compound shows a broad medium intensity LMCT transition centred around 463 nm, which is responsible for its red colour.

Redetermination of the crystal structure of BiF5 was undertaken to a much higher precision and quantum chemical calculations for an assignment of the Raman and IR bands.
The crystal structure of bismuth pentafluoride, BiF5, was rerefined from single-crystal data. BiF5 crystallizes in the α-UF5 structure type in the form of colorless needles. In comparison with the previously reported crystal-structure model [Hebecker (1971#). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem.384, 111–114], the lattice parameters and fractional atomic coordinates were determined to much higher precision and all atoms were refined anisotropically, leading to a significantly improved structure model. The Bi atom (site symmetry 4/m..) is surrounded by six F atoms in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. The [BiF6] octahedra are corner-linked to form infinite straight chains extending parallel to [001]. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the PBE0/TZVP level of theory were performed on the crystal structure of BiF5 to calculate its IR and Raman spectra. These are compared with experimental data.

Chem. 384, 111-114]相比,晶格参数和分数原子坐标的确定精度更高,所有原子都经过异向精炼,从而大大改进了结构模型。Bi 原子(位点对称性 4/m...)被六个 F 原子包围,处于扭曲的八面体配位环境中。[BiF6]八面体以角连接,形成平行于[001]延伸的无限直链。在 PBE0/TZVP 理论水平上对 BiF5 的晶体结构进行了密度泛函理论(DFT)计算,以计算其红外光谱和拉曼光谱。计算结果与实验数据进行了比较。

The complex 2-[(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridin-1-ium hexakis(nitrato-O,O′)thorate was synthesized from layered solutions of Th(NO3)4·5H2O and 2-[(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridine (L).
Reaction of thorium(IV) nitrate with 2-[(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridine (L) yielded (LH)2[Th(NO3)6] or (C14H13N4)2[Th(NO3)6] (1), instead of the expected mixed-ligand complex [Th(NO3)4L2], which was detected in the mass spectrum of 1. In the structure, the [Th(NO3)6]2− anions display an icosahedral coordination geometry and are connected by LH+ cations through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The LH+ cations interact via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important interactions are O⋯H/H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions, which represent a 55.2% contribution.

The Mo—Mo bond in the dinuclear molecular title compound is 3.2323 (3) Å, in good agreement with related dinuclear molybdenum(I) compounds with cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands.
The dinuclear molecule of the title compound, [Mo2(C9H13)2(CO)6] or [Mo(tBuCp)(CO)3]2 where tBu and Cp are tert-butyl and cyclopentadienyl, is centrosymmetric and is characterized by an Mo—Mo bond length of 3.2323 (3) Å. Imposed by inversion symmetry, the tBuCp and the carbonyl ligands are in a transoid arrangement to each other. In the crystal, intermolecular C—H⋯O contacts lead to the formation of layers parallel to the bc plane.

Molecules of the aryl diester, 2-methyl-1,4-phenylene bis(3,5-dibromobenzoate), crystallized out from the melt (m.p. = 502 K/DSC). The crystal structure consists of a C—H⋯Br hydrogen-bonded network and weaker, offset π–π interactions.
The aryl diester compound, 2-methyl-1,4-phenylene bis(3,5-dibromobenzoate), C21H12Br4O4, was synthesized by esterification of methyl hydroquinone with 3,5-dibromobenzoic acid. A crystalline sample was obtained by cooling a sample of the melt (m.p. = 502 K/DSC) to room temperature. The molecular structure consists of a central benzene ring with anti-3,5-dibromobenzoate groups symmetrically attached at the 1 and 4 positions and a methyl group attached at the 2 position of the central ring. In the crystal structure (space group P), molecules of the title aryl diester are located on inversion centers imposing disorder of the methyl group and H atom across the central benzene ring. The crystal structure is consolidated by a network of C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds in addition to weaker and offset π–π interactions involving the central benzene rings as well as the rings of the attached 3,5-dibromobenzoate groups.

The title molecule is centrosymmetric, with a pyrazine ligand bridging two {Cu10Ir3} cluster units that are arranged in an unusual shape containing 13 vertices, 22 faces, and 32 sides.
Single crystals of the molecular compound, {Cu20Ir6Cl8(C21H24N2)6(C4H4N2)3]·3.18CH3OH or [({Cu10Ir3}Cl4(IMes)3(pyrazine))2(pyrazine)]·3.18CH3OH [where IMes is 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene], with a unique heterometallic cluster have been prepared and the structure revealed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecule is centrosymmetric with two {Cu10Ir3} cores bridged by a pyrazine ligand. The polymetallic cluster contains three stabilizing N-heterocyclic carbenes, four Cl ligands, and a non-bridging pyrazine ligand. Notably, the Cu—Ir core is arranged in an unusual shape containing 13 vertices, 22 faces, and 32 sides. The atoms within the tridecametallic cluster are arranged in four planes, with 2, 4, 4, 3 metals in each plane. Ir atoms are present in alternate planes with an Ir atom featuring in the peripheral bimetallic plane, and two Ir atoms featuring on opposite sides of the non-adjacent tetrametallic plane. The crystal contains two disordered methanol solvent molecules with an additional region of non-modelled electron density corrected for using the SQUEEZE routine in PLATON [Spek (2015#). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18]. The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take into account the unmodelled methanol solvent molecule(s).

Two intermediates, 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzonitrile, C7H4F2N2 (I), and ethyl 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzoate, C9H9F2NO2 (II), along with a visible-light-responsive azobenzene derivative, diethyl 4,4′-(diazene-1,2-diyl)bis(3,5-difluorobenzoate), C18H14F4N2O4 (III), obtained by four-step synthetic procedure, were studied using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystals of I and II, the molecules are connected by N—H⋯N, N—H⋯F and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C—H⋯F short contacts, and π-stacking interactions. In the crystal of III, only stacking interactions between the molecules are found.

The molecules of I and II demonstrate the quinoid character of phenyl rings accompanied by the distortion of bond angles related to the presence of fluorine substituents in the 3 and 5 (ortho) positions. In the crystals of I and II, the molecules are connected by N—H⋯N, N—H⋯F and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C—H⋯F short contacts, and π-stacking interactions.
