Title: N,N0-[Oxybis(benzene-4,1-diyl)]diacetamide
In the title compound, C16H16N2O3, the phenyl groups are twisted away from coplanarity with the ether linkage, forming a dihedral angle of 59.49 (4) with each other. The ether oxygen atom lies somewhat out of both phenyl planes, by 0.066 (2) and 0.097 (2) A ˚ . The acetamide substituents have quite different conformations with respect to the phenyl groups on either side of the molecule. On one side, the C—C—N—C torsion angle is 21.0 (2), while on the other side it is 76.4 (2). In the crystal, the acetamide N—H groups form intermolecular N—H O hydrogen bonds to acetamide O atom, with both NH groups donating to the same molecule. Thus, ladder-like chains exist in the [101] direction. One of the methyl groups has its H atoms disordered into two orientations, and the crystal chosen for data collection was found to be twinned.  more » « less

  1. In the title compound, C8H8ClNO2, the acetamide substituent is twisted out of the phenyl plane, forming a dihedral angle of 58.61 (7)°. In the extended structure, each molecule donates two hydrogen bonds [N—H...O(carbonyl) and O—H...O(carbonyl)] and thus also accepts two such hydrogen bonds. The chlorine atom is not involved in the hydrogen bonding.

  2. In the title compound, C10H12N2O4, the four substituents lie out of the phenyl plane by varying degrees. The methyl C atom lies 0.019 (3) A ˚ out of plane, while the methoxy O and C atoms lie 0.067 (2) and 0.042 (3) A ˚ out of plane, respectively, with the C—C—O—C torsion angle being 3.3 (2). The plane of the nitro group is twisted out of the phenyl plane, forming a dihedral angle of 12.03 (9) with it. The acetamide substituent is twisted considerably more out of the phenyl plane, forming a dihedral angle of 47.24 (6) with it. In the extended structure, the acetamide NH group donates a hydrogen bond to an acetamide carbonyl O atom, thereby forming chains propagating in the [010] direction.

  3. The title complex, (1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane-1κ6O)(μ-oxalato-1κ2O1,O2:2κ2O1′,O2′)triphenyl-2κ3C-potassium(I)tin(IV), [KSn(C6H5)3(C2O4)(C12H24O6)] or K[18-Crown-6][(C6H5)3SnO4C2], was synthesized. The complex consists of a potassium cation coordinated to the six oxygen atoms of a crown ether molecule and the two oxygen atoms of the oxalatotriphenylstannate anion. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system within the space groupP21. The tin atom is coordinated by one chelating oxalate ligand and three phenyl groups, forming acis-trigonal–bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. The cations and anions form ion pairs, linked through carbonyl coordination to the potassium atoms. The crystal structure features C—H...O hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of the oxalate group and the hydrogen atoms of the phenyl groups, resulting in an infinite chain structure extending alonga-axis direction. The primary inter-chain interactions are van der Waals forces.

  4. The novel bench-stableN-quaternized keteneN,O-acetal, C16H19N2O+·CF3O3S, was synthesized and its structure determined. The title compound is a rare example of a pyridinium ketene hemiaminal for which a crystal structure has been determined, joining the 2-chloro-1-(1-ethyoxyethenyl)pyridin-1-ium trifluoromethanesulfonate salt from which it was synthesized. The cationic species of the title compound can be defined by three individually planar fragments assembling into a non-coplanar cation. The phenyl substituent extending from the amino nitrogen atom and the ethyoxyvinyl substituent extending from the pyridine N atom are oriented on the same side of the molecule and maintain the closest coplanar relationship of the three fragments. Supramolecular interactions are dominated by C—H...O interactions from the cation to the SO3side of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anion, forming a two-dimensional substructure.

  5. null (Ed.)
    The title compounds, [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(COCH 3 )(C 6 H 12 N 3 P)(CO) 2 ], (1), and [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(COCH 3 )(C 9 H 16 N 3 O 2 P)(C 6 H 5 ) 2 ))(CO) 2 ], (2), have been prepared by phosphine-induced migratory insertion from [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(CO) 3 (CH 3 )]. The molecular structures of these complexes are quite similar, exhibiting a four-legged piano-stool geometry with trans -disposed carbonyl ligands. The extended structures of complexes (1) and (2) differ substantially. For complex (1), the molybdenum acetyl unit plays a dominant role in the organization of the extended structure, joining the molecules into centrosymmetrical dimers through C—H...O interactions with a cyclopentadienyl ligand of a neighboring molecule, and these dimers are linked into layers parallel to (100) by C—H...O interactions between the molybdenum acetyl and the cyclopentadienyl ligand of another neighbor. The extended structure of (2) is dominated by C—H...O interactions involving the carbonyl groups of the acetamide groups of the DAPTA ligand, which join the molecules into centrosymmetrical dimers and link them into chains along [010]. Additional C—H...O interactions between the molybdenum acetyl oxygen atom and an acetamide methyl group join the chains into layers parallel to (101).
