Title: Crystal and molecular structure of a series of 15-crown-5-containing styryl heterocycles and their dimethoxy substituted analogues

Abstract

A comparative study of the molecular geometry and crystal packing of crown-containing styryl heterocycles and their dimethoxy substituted analogues is performed. It is established that all the compounds exhibit an identical type of distortions of the geometry of the central styryl fragment. These are the localization of the {pi}-electron density at the ethylene bond and the bond alternation in a half of the phenyl ring due to the conjugation of lone electron pairs of the oxygen substituents with the chromophore system of the molecule. A comparative analysis of the crystal packings of the compounds reveals extended separate hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. The hydrophilic regions are built of crown ether fragments, and the hydrophobic regions consist of {pi}-conjugated and aromatic molecular fragments. The hydrophobic regions are characterized by a wide variety of packing motifs, among which stacking packing is absent. For two compounds, the formation of sandwich dimers that are preorganized to enter into the photochemical [2 + 2]cycloaddition reaction is observed.

    The transformations of hydrogen-poor hydrocarbyls (C[sub n]H[sub x], x [le] n) on multimetallic sites are of interest in connection with the study of surface cokes and carbides formed during catalytic reactions of hydrocarbons or CO on metal surfaces. The authors have shown previously that an [alpha]-substituted alkyne complex is a convenient precursor to a metal-stabilized carbo-cation upon reaction with protic acids. During studies of the deprotonation reactions of dimolybdenum alkyne complexes, Green et al. published the results of their thorough investigation on this topic. In this paper, the authors report on the structure and fluxional behavior of the [sigma],[pi]-acetylide formedmore » by the deprotonation of the [alpha]-substituted alkyne complex. The structure features an interesting chelate-type coordination of the counterion, Na(15-crown-5)[sup +], and the diasteriotopic methylene protons in the [sigma],[pi]-acetylide gives additional information on the nature of the fluxional process that these complexes exhibit. 31 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.« less

    The synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound are described. Single-crystal x-ray structure analysis indicates 8 formula units in the unit cell of parameters a = 16.024 (1) {angstrom} and c = 13.076 (1) {angstrom}. The space group is I{bar 4}. Direct methods yielded the structure, which was refined by least-squares techniques to a final R factor of 0.038 for 1533 independent observations. Unusual water-methanol channels are found in this structure. The crystal packing of the complex includes hydrophilic water-methanol channels which are surrounded by hydrophobic cylinders consisting mainly of benzo rings and methylene groups. The crystal structure providesmore » a model for the encapsulation of water molecules by hydrophobic regions with potential application for the formation of hydrophilic pores in biological bilayers.« less

    Trace amounts of H/sub 2/O and limited exposure to air of reaction mixtures of UCl/sub 4/ and 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, benzo-15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, or dibenzo-18-crown-6 in 1:3 mixtures of CH/sub 3/OH and CH/sub 3/CN resulted in the hydrolysis and oxidation of UCl/sub 4/ to (UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4/)/sup 2/minus//. In the presence of these crown ethers, it has been possible to isolate intermediate products via crystallization of crown complexes of the (UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4/)/sup 2/minus// ion, the (UCl/sub 6/)/sup 2/minus// ion, and (UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/(OH/sub 2/)/sub 3/). The neutral moiety crystallizes as a hydrogen-bonded crown ether complex; however, crown ether complexation of amore » counterion, either an ammonium ion formed during the oxidation of U(IV) or a Na/sup +/ ion leached from glass reaction vessels, resulted in novel crystalline complexes of the ionic species. ((NH/sub 4/)(15-crown-5)/sub 2/)/sub 2/(UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4/) /times/ 2CH/sub 3/CN, ((NH/sub 4/)(benzo-15-crown-5)/sub 2/)/sub 2/(UCl/sub 6/) /times/ 4CH/sub 3/CN, and ((NH/sub 4/)(dibenzo-18-crown-6))/sub 2/(UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4/) /times/ 2CH/sub 3/CN have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The results of all the crystal studies are presented in detail. The ammonium ions interact with the crown ethers via hydrogen-bonding and electrostatic interactions. 15-Crown-5 and benzo-15-crown-5 form 2:1 sandwich cations, allowing no H/sub 4/N/sup +//hor ellipsis/(UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4/)/sup 2/minus// interaction. The dibenzo-18-crown-6 complexed ammonium ions are 1:1 and form bifurcated hydrogen bonds with the chlorine atoms in the (UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4/)/sup /minus// anion. The formation of (Na(12-crown-4)/sub 2//sub 2/(UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 4/) /times/ 2OHMe and (UO/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/(OH)/sub 2/)/sub 3/) /times/ 18-crown-6 /times/ H/sub 2/O /times/ OHMe has been confirmed by preliminary single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.« less

    The radioactive tracers {sup 241}Am, {sup 152,154}Eu, {sup 144}Ce({sup 144}Pr), {sup 137}Cs, and {sup 85}Sr are used to determine the distribution coefficients of Am(III), Eu(III), Ce(III), Cs, and Sr on extraction from nitrate and chloride solutions by mixtures of F-substituted analogs of dithiophosphoric acids (F-DTPA) of general formula (H(CF{sub 2}CF{sub 2}){sub n}CH{sub 2}O){sub 2}P(S)SH (n = 1, 2, 3) and crown ethers 15-crown-5 (15C5) and 18-crown-6 (18C6). Higher selectivity is found for F-DTPA in the presence of 18C6 for Ce(III), Eu(III), and Am(III) as compared with 15C5. The extraction properties of F-DTPA are largely analogous to those of the strongmore » organic acid chlorinated cobalt dicarbollide. The separation factors of the Eu(III)-Am(III) pair on extraction by mixtures of F-DTPA with tributylphosphate (TBP) do not reach the values obtained in the literature for mixtures of TBP and dithiophosphoric acids.« less

    [La(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}(OH{sub 2}){sub 2}(phen)]{center_dot} 15-crown-5 is hexagonal, P6{sub 5}, with a = 10.955(2), c =43.769(9) {Angstrom}, and D{sub calc} = 1.668 g cm{sup {minus}3} for Z = 6. In the complex, two nitrogen atoms (from phen) and eight oxygen atoms (six from three bidentate nitrate anions and two from water molecules) are coordinated to the central La(III) ion, forming a coordination polyhedron which is approximately a bicapped square antiprism. The coordinated water molecules donate hydrogen bonds to the oxygen atoms of the crown ether, forming polymeric hydrogen bonded chains which wrap helically along the unit cell direction c.
