Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis of N-ethyl-2-{3-methyl-2-[(2Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl]cyclo-pent-2-en-1-yl-idene}hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide.

The title compound (C14H23N3S, common name: cis-jasmone 4-ethyl-thio-semicarbazone) was synthesized by the equimolar reaction of cis-jasmone and 4-ethyl-thio-semicarbazide in ethanol facilitated by acid catalysis. There is one crystallographically independent mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit, which shows disorder of the terminal ethyl group of the jasmone carbon chain [site-occupancy ratio = 0.911 (5):0.089 (5)]. The thio-semicarbazone entity [N-N-C(=S)-N] is approximately planar, with the maximum deviation of the mean plane through the N/N/C/S/N atoms being 0.0331 (8) Å, while the maximum deviation of the mean plane through the five-membered ring of the jasmone fragment amounts to -0.0337 (8) Å. The dihedral angle between the two planes is 4.98 (7)°. The mol-ecule is not planar due to this structural feature and the sp 3-hybridized atoms of the jasmone carbon chain. Additionally, one H⋯N intra-molecular inter-action is observed, with graph-set motif S(5). In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected through pairs of H⋯S inter-actions with R 2 2(8) and R 2 1(7) graph-set motifs into centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are further connected by H⋯N inter-actions with graph-set motif R 2 2(12), which are related by an inversion centre, forming a mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbon parallel to the b-axis. The crystal structure and the supra-molecular assembly of the title compound are compared with four known cis-jasmone thio-semicarbazone derivatives (two crystalline modifications of the non-substituted form, the 4-methyl and the 4-phenyl derivatives). A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are from H⋯H (70.7%), H⋯S/S⋯H (13.5%), H⋯C/C⋯H (8.8%), and H⋯N/N⋯H (6.6%) inter-faces (only the disordered atoms with the highest s.o.f. were considered for the evaluation).

N-Methyl-2-{3-methyl-2-[(2Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl]cyclo-pent-2-en-1-yl-idene}hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide.

The equimolar and hydro-chloric acid-catalysed reaction between cis-jasmone and 4-methyl-thio-semicarbazide in ethano-lic solution yields the title compound, C13H21N3S (common name: cis-jasmone 4-methyl-thio-semicarbazone). Two mol-ecules with all atoms in general positions are present in the asymmetric unit. In one of them, the carbon chain is disordered [site occupancy ratio = 0.821 (3):0.179 (3)]. The thio-semicarbazone entities [N-N-C(=S)-N] are approximately planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the selected atoms being -0.0115 (16) Š(r.m.s.d. = 0.0078 Å) for the non-disordered mol-ecule and 0.0052 (14) Š(r.m.s.d. = 0.0031 Å) for the disordered one. The mol-ecules are not planar, since the jasmone groups have a chain with sp 3-hybridized carbon atoms and, in addition, the thio-semicarbazone fragments are attached to the respective carbon five-membered rings and the dihedral angles between them for each mol-ecule amount to 8.9 (1) and 6.3 (1)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected through pairs of N-H⋯S and C-H⋯S inter-actions into crystallographically independent centrosymmetric dimers, in which rings of graph-set motifs R 2 2(8) and R 2 1(7) are observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are from H⋯H (70.6%), H⋯S/S⋯H (16.7%), H⋯C/C⋯H (7.5%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (4.9%) inter-actions [considering the two crystallographically independent mol-ecules and only the disordered atoms with the highest s.o.f. for the evaluation].

2-{3-Methyl-2-[(2Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl]cyclo-pent-2-en-1-yl-idene}-N-phenylhydrazinecarbo-thio-amide.

The hydro-chloric acid-catalyzed equimolar reaction between cis-jasmone and 4-phenyl-thio-semicarbazide yielded the title compound, C18H23N3S (common name: cis-jasmone 4-phenyl-thio-semicarbazone). Concerning the hydrogen bonding, an N-H⋯N intra-molecular inter-action is observed, forming a ring with graph-set motif S(5). In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of N-H⋯S and C-H⋯S inter-actions, forming rings of graph-set motifs R 2 2(8) and R 2 1(7), with the sulfur atoms acting as double acceptors. The thio-semicarbazone entity is approximately planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the N/N/C/S/N atoms being 0.0376 (9) Š(the r.m.s.d. amounts to 0.0234 Å). The mol-ecule is substantially twisted as indicated by the dihedral angle between the thio-semicarbazone fragment and the phenyl ring, which amounts to 56.1 (5)°, and because of the jasmone fragment, which bears a chain with sp 3-hybridized carbon atoms in the structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are: H⋯H (65.3%), H⋯C/C⋯H (16.2%), H⋯S/S⋯H (10.9%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (5.5%).

A second crystalline modification of 2-{3-methyl-2-[(2Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl]cyclo-pent-2-en-1-yl-idene}hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide.

A second crystalline modification of the title compound, C12H19N3S [common name: cis-jasmone thio-semicarbazone] was crystallized from tetra-hydro-furane at room temperature. There is one crystallographic independent mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit, showing disorder in the cis-jasmone chain [site-occupancy ratio = 0.590 (14):0.410 (14)]. The thio-semicarbazone entity is approximately planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the N/N/C/S/N atoms being 0.0463 (14) Š[r.m.s.d. = 0.0324 Å], while for the five-membered ring of the jasmone fragment, the maximum deviation from the mean plane through the carbon atoms amounts to 0.0465 (15) Š[r.m.s.d. = 0.0338 Å]. The mol-ecule is not planar due to the dihedral angle between these two fragments, which is 8.93 (1)°, and due to the sp 3-hybridized carbon atoms in the jasmone fragment chain. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯S and C-H⋯S inter-actions, with graph-set motifs R 2 2(8) and R 2 1(7), building mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbons along [010]. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are H⋯H (67.8%), H⋯S/S⋯H (15.0%), H⋯C/C⋯H (8.5%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (5.6%) [only non-disordered atoms and those with the highest s.o.f. were considered]. This work reports the second crystalline modification of the cis-jasmone thio-semicarbazone structure, the first one being published recently [Orsoni et al. (2020 ▸). Int. J. Mol. Sci. 21, 8681-8697] with the crystals obtained in ethanol at 273 K.

A homonuclear π-system with a singlet carbene-type α and a nucleophilic ß phosphorus - the first use in P-heterocyclic synthesis.

A µ2-(η1,η2)-dinuclear diphosphene complex having two W(CO)5 groups with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione and diethyl azodicarboxylate was applied to P-heterocyclic synthesis, i.e., using a singlet carbene-type reactivity of a homonuclear π-system assisted by a haptotropic shift thus rendering a more nucleophilic ß phosphorus and, hence, a subsequent ring expansion.

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis of a new crystalline modification of the radical ion salt octa-methyl-ene-tetra-thia-fulvalenium triiodide (OMTTF)I3.

The reaction between 4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-2-(4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1,3-benzodi-thiol-2-yl-idene)-1,3-benzodi-thiole (common name: 4,4',5,5',6,6',7,7'-octa-hydro-dibenzo-tetra-thia-fulvalene, OMTTF) and an excess of iodine in tetra-hydro-furan (THF) yielded the respective radical organic polyiodide salt, C14H16S4 +·I3 -. The asymmetric unit contains one and a half formula unit of both the cation and the anion, with the half-ions completed through inversion symmetry. The (OMTTF +) positive charge can be assigned by the bond distances and the planar structure of the C2S2C=CS2C2 central fragment. In the crystal, trimers of triiodide anions are connected through secondary inter-molecular I⋯I inter-actions into almost linear I9 3- polyanions. The non-centrosymmetric OMTTF radical cations are linked by S⋯S inter-actions into centrosymmetric dimers, while the centrosymmetric OMTTF cations remain as discrete units. The (OMTTF +) radical cations and the triiodide anions are linked by weak C-H⋯I and C-H⋯S inter-actions into a three-dimensional network. This work reports the fourth crystalline modification of the C14H16S4 +·I3 - salt. The three previous modifications were obtained from a mixture of aceto-nitrile and toluene [Konarev et al. (2005 ▸). Synth. Met. 151, 231-238].

A new example of intra-molecular C-H⋯Ni anagostic inter-actions: synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis of cis-bis-[4-methyl-2-(1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-naphthalen-1-yl-idene)hydrazinecarbo-thio-amidato-κ2N1,S]nickel(II) di-methyl-formamide monosolvate.

The reaction of NiII acetate tetra-hydrate with 4-methyl-2-(1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-naphthalen-1-yl-idene)hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide in a 2:1 molar ratio and recrystallization from di-methyl-formamide yielded the title compound, [Ni(C12H14N3S)2]·C3H7NO. The ligands act as monoanionic κ2N1,S-donors, forming five-membered metallarings. The NiII ion is fourfold coordinated in a distorted square-planar cis-configuration, which is rather uncommon for mono-thio-semicarbazone complexes. Intra-molecular H⋯Ni trans-inter-actions are observed [H⋯Ni distances are 2.50 and 2.57 Å] and thus anagostic inter-actions can be suggested. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal packing are H⋯H (66.6%), H⋯S (12.3%) and H⋯C (10.9%) inter-actions. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are linked by di-methyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules through N-H⋯O inter-actions into one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymers along [010].

The Electrochemical Synthesis of Polycationic Clusters.

As a new method for the synthesis of chalcogen polycationic clusters, the electrochemical dissolution of elemental tellurium in ionic liquids (IL) or in liquid SO2 is presented. ILs used are ethylmethylimidazolium triflate [OTf](-) and tetraalkylammonium triflylimide [NTf2](-). Tristriflylmethanide [CTf3](-) was used as [BuMeIm][CTf3] as the electrolyte in SO2. This allowed for the isolation of [Te4][CTf3]2, [Te6][OTf]4, and [Te8][NTf2]2 containing the square [Te4](2+), the prismatic [Te6](4+), and the novel barrelane-shaped [Te8](2+). The compounds are novel compositions as they do not contain the usual halometalate anions, but rather common weakly coordinating anions. The (125)Te NMR spectrum of an IL solution containing [Te8](2+) features only one broad signal at 2700 ppm. DFT calculations show that slight concerted displacements within the [Te8](2+) cluster lead to a fluxional molecular structure and a fast valence isomerism with a very low activation barrier of about 8 kJ mol(-1).

Crystal structure of the charge-transfer complex 2-(1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-naph-thal-en-1-yl-idene)hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide-pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetra-carbo-nitrile (2/1).

The reaction of 2-(1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-napthalen-1-yl-idene)hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide (TTSC) with pyrazine-2,3,5,6-tetra-carbo-nitrile (tetra-cyano-pyrazine, TCNP) yields the title 2:1 charge-transfer adduct, 2C11H12N3S·C6N8. The complete TCNP mol-ecule is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre and the non-aromatic ring in the TTSC mol-ecule adopts an envelope conformation with a methyl-ene C atom as the flap. In the crystal, the thio-semicarbazone mol-ecules are connected through inversion-related pairs of N-H⋯S inter-actions, building a polymeric chain along the b-axis direction. The TCNP mol-ecules are embedded in the structure, forming TTSC-TCNP-TTSC stacks with the aromatic rings of TTSC and the mol-ecular plane of TCNP in a parallel arrangement [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5558 (14) Å]. Charge-transfer (CT) via π-stacking is indicated by a CT band around 550 cm(-1) in the single-crystal absorption spectrum.

Crystal structure of (E)-2-[(2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclo-hexyl-idene]hydrazine-1-carbo-thio-amide.

The title compound, C11H21N3S, consists of a menthone moiety attached to an extended thio-semicarbazone group with the N-N-C-N torsion angle being 11.92 (16)°. The cyclo-hexane ring has a chair conformation and the conformation about the C=N bond is E. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a axis. The absolute structure could be assigned with reference to the starting material, i.e. enanti-opure (-)-menthone [Flack parameter = 0.05 (5)].

4-Hy-droxy-3-meth-oxy-benzaldehyde 4-ethyl-thio-semicarbazone.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C11H15N3O2S, the C-N-N-C and C-N-C-C torsion angles involving the benzene ring and ethyl group are 11.91 (15) and 99.4 (2)°, respectively. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional hydrogen bonded network. Finally, the molecules show a herringbone arrangement when viewed along the a axis.

N-Methyl-2-(1-methyl-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-yl-idene)hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide.

In the title compound, C12H15N3S, the mol-ecule deviates slightly from planarity, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of the non-H atoms of 0.2756 (6) Šfor the S atom and a torsion angle for the N-N-C-N fragment of -7.04 (16)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯S hydrogen-bond inter-actions, forming centrosymmetric dimers. Additionally, one weak intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen-bond inter-action is observed. The crystal packing shows a herringbone arrangement viewed along the c axis.

The charge-transfer complex 1-amino-anthraquinone-7,7',8,8'-tetra-cyano-quinodimethane (1/1).

The reaction of 1-amino-anthraquinone with 7,7',8,8'-tetra-cyano-quinodimethane yielded the title charge-transfer complex, C(14)H(9)NO(2)·C(12)H(4)N(4). The mol-ecules have maximum deviations from the mean planes through the non-H atoms of 0.0769 (14) Šfor an oxo O atom and 0.1175 (17) Šfor a cyano N atom, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two planes is 3.55 (3)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked into columns along the a-axis direction. Pairs of N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O inter-actions connect the mol-ecules perpendicular to the stacking direction. Additionally, an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-action is observed for 1-amino-anthraquinone.

Exploring the palladium- and platinum-bis(pyridine) complex motif by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, (tandem) mass spectrometry, and isothermal titration calorimetry: do substituent effects follow chemical intuition?

A series of ten palladium-bis(pyridine) complexes, as well as their corresponding platinum complexes, have been synthesized. The pyridine ligands in each series carried different σ-donor and/or π-acceptor/donor substituents at the para-position of their pyridine rings. These complexes were analysed by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, (tandem) MS, and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to validate whether these methods allowed us to obtain a concise and systematic picture of the relative and absolute thermodynamic stabilities of the complexes, as determined by the electronic effects of the substituents. Interestingly, the NMR spectroscopic data hardly correlated with the expected substituent effects but the heteronuclear platinum-phosphorus coupling constants did. Crystallographic data were found to be blurred by packing effects. Instead, tandem MS and ITC data were in line with each other and followed the expected trends.

[1-(5-Bromo-2-oxidobenzyl-idene)thio-semicarbazidato-κ(3)O,N(1),S](pyridine-κN)nickel(II).

The reaction of 5-bromo-salicyl-aldehyde thio-semicarbazone with nickel acetate tetra-hydrate and pyridine yielded the title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(6)BrN(3)OS)(C(5)H(5)N)]. The Ni(II) atom is four-coordinated in a square-planar environment by one deprotonated dianionic thio-semicarbazone ligand, acting in a tridentate chelating mode through N, O and S atoms forming two metalla-rings, and by one pyridine mol-ecule. The complex mol-ecules are linked into dimers by pairs of centrosym-metrical N-H⋯N inter-actions. In addition, mol-ecules are connected through inter-molecular Br⋯Br inter-actions [3.545 (1) Å], forming chains along the b-axis direction.

First examples of oxaphosphirane pentacarbonylchromium(0) and -molybdenum(0) complexes: synthesis, structures and reactions.

Synthesis of the first oxaphosphirane chromium(0) and molybdenum(0) complexes of the type [{(R(1)PCH(R(2))-O}M(CO)(5)] (R(1) = C(5)Me(5)) (8a-e, 15a-e) and (R(1) = CH(SiMe(3))(2)) (9a-e, 16a-e) via reaction of dichloro(organo)- (1, 2, 10, 11) and chloro(organo)phosphane complexes (3,4,12) with lithium bases and aldehydes 7a-e is reported. Furthermore, bicyclic 1,3-oxaphospholane complexes 17 and 18 have been obtained via O-protonation of oxaphosphirane complexes 8a and 15a with HCl. All complexes were characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopic, mass spectrometric investigations and, in addition, single-crystal X-ray structures of complexes 8a-e, 9a,c, 15a,b,e, 16a-c, 17, 18 are presented and discussed.

Synthesis, structure, and reactions of 1-tert-butyl-2-diphenylphosphino-imidazole.

Metalation reactions were studied of a sterically demanding imidazole derivative, namely, 1-tert-butylimidazole (1), with different metalation reagents and subsequent reaction with diphenylchlorophosphane. The reaction product, 1-tert-butyl-2-diphenylphosphino-imidazole (2), was subjected to oxidation and complexation reactions to yield the corresponding products Ph(2)(Imi)P-E (E = O (3), S (4), Se (5), W(CO)(5) (8)) and in the case of borane-THF the N-BH(3) coordination product 10 was obtained. The analytical data of the new compounds are discussed, including X-ray diffraction studies of 3-5.

1-(5-Nitro-2-oxoindolin-3-yl-idene)thio-semicarbazide.

In the title molecule, C(9)H(7)N(5)O(3)S, there is an intramolecular N-H⋯O. The molecule is essentially planar, with the maximum deviation from the mean plane of the 18 non-H atoms being 0.135 (2) Šfor the amine N atom. In the crystal, the molecules are connected via intermolecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (10[Formula: see text]). They are separated by an interplanar distance of 3.3214 (9) Å, leading to π-π interactions which stabilize the crystal structure.
