Crystallography in Latin America: a vibrant community


Edited by Maria Rosales-Hoz and Renata Diniz

The growth of the number of articles published by Latin American researchers has been important in recent years. Part of this growth is represented by structural chemistry papers. This special issue of Acta Crystallographica Section C will help to give visibility to the work carried out by the crystallographic communities in these countries and will coincide with the Sixth Latin American Crystallographic Association (LACA) Meeting.

The diethyl N,N′-(1,3-phenyl­ene)dicarbamate–theophylline (1–TEO) com­plex was obtained by mechanochemistry involving the conformational change of one of the ethyl carbamate groups of 1 from the endo conformation to the exo conformation to allow the formation of inter­molecular inter­actions.

A series of com­pounds were synthesized from a 1:2 mixture of a metal and a terpyridine (TPY) ligand, with the general formula [M(R-TPY)2](ClO4)2 (where M = Co2+, Fe2+, Mn2+ and Ni2+, and R-TPY = Ph-TPY, ClPh-TPY and MeOPh-TPY). All com­pounds were characterized spectroscopically and three, [Ni(Ph-TPY)2](ClO4)2, [Mn(MeOPh-TPY)2](ClO4)2 and [Mn(Ph-TPY)2](ClO4)2, were determinated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties are reported for an erbium(III) ox­am­ate com­plex which can be considered a novel spin qubit candidate.
