research papersresearch papersFormation of a diiron–(μ-η1:η1-CN) complex from acetonitrile solution
A diiron end-on μ2-η1:η1-CN-bridged complex is obtained from a crystallization experiment of an open-chain iron–NHC complex. The cyanide appears to originate from the acetonitrile (MeCN) solvent by C—C bond cleavage or through C—H oxidation.
research papersRuthenium(II) 10,10-dimethyl-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl)biladiene dicarbonyl: discovery of the first ruthenium tetrapyrrole cis-dicarbonyl complex
The structure of a CO2 reduction photocatalyst prototype, the first cis-dicarbonyl ruthenium(II) tetrapyrrole complex, has been determined by X-ray and electron diffraction to have an unprecedented seesaw-coordinated biladiene ligand.
research papersFurther evaluation of the shape of atomic Hirshfeld surfaces: M⋯H contacts and homoatomic bonds
The sensitivity of atomic Hirshfeld surfaces is further validated through the evaluation of contacts of type M⋯H and through the variations in curvature for C—C bonds depending on the hybridization of the C atoms.
research papersA luminescent Cu2I2P2S2-type binuclear complex and its fluorescence sensing for pyridine
In the title Cu2I2P2S2-type binuclear complex, Cu2I2TPP2TU2, TPP (triphenylphosphine) and TU (thiourea) adopt terminal coordinations, and the two CuI centres are bridged by two μ2-I ligands. After composite processing, the paper-based film based on the title complex exhibits obvious luminescence light-up sensing for pyridine and 4-methylpyridine.
research papersOccupational modulation in the (3+1)-dimensional incommensurate structure of (2S,3S)-2-amino-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-phenoxybutanoic acid dihydrate
The (3+1)-dimensional incommensurate structure of (2S,3S)-2-amino-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-phenoxybutanoic acid dihydrate (I·2H2O), in which one of the water molecules is disordered over two positions and each position exhibits occupational modulation, can be well refined in superspace, and in the average and supercell approximations. The occupational modulation of the disordered solvent water molecule results from the competition between the different hydrogen-bonding motifs associated with the two disorder positions of the water molecule.
research papersThe influence of the axial group on the crystal structures of boron subphthalocyanines
The crystal structures of an array of 16 boron subphthalocyanines with structurally diverse axial groups were analyzed and compared based on their intermolecular interactions, axial bond lengths and bowl depths.
research papersConcerning the structures of Lewis base adducts of titanium(IV) hexafluoroisopropoxide
The reaction of titanium(IV) chloride with sodium hexafluoroisopropoxide, carried out in hexafluoroisopropanol, produces titanium(IV) hexafluoroisopropoxide, which is a liquid at room temperature. Recrystallization from coordinating solvents, such as acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran, results in the formation of bis-solvate complexes. These compounds are of interest as possible Ziegler–Natta polymerization catalysts.
