Sputtering of condensed-phase ammoniumnitrate yields an extensivedistribution of negative cluster ions of the form [(NH4N03),N03]-, n 2 3. Collision-induced dissociation of mass-selected cluster ions suggests that the first two members of the series, n = 1 and n = 2, are missing because the ions rearrange to lose one or more ammonia molecules. Gradient-corrected density-functional calculations ...

The title compound, [Mo(2)(C(15)H(15)N(2)O(2))(3)(C(7)H(5)O(2))]·CH(2)Cl(2), has a quadruply bonded Mo(2) (4+) unit equatorially coordinated by three N,N'-bis-(4-μ-meth-oxy-phen-yl)formamidinate (DAniF) ligands and one benzoate anion. The Mo-Mo bond length of 2.0881 (8) Å is typical for quadruply bonded species. The phenyl ring and the connected dimetal chelating ring (Mo(2)O(2)C) are nearly co...

In the title molecular salt, C(15)H(14)ClN(2)OS(+)·C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7) (-), protonation occurred on the double-bonded N atom. One of the nitro groups shows slight disorder over two orientations, with an occupancy ratio of 0.91:0.09. In the crystal, classical N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, as well as C-H⋯O contacts connect the components into a three-dimensional network. The seven-membered ring adopts a boa...

In the title compound, C(10)H(12)N(2)O(5)S, one of the sulfonyl O atoms is hydrogen bonded to the amido N atom of an adjacent mol-ecule. There is also a weak hydrogen-bonding inter-action between the other sulfonyl O atom and the secondary amino N atom. In addition, the amido O atom is also hydrogen bonded to a carboxyl O atom. These hydrogen-bonding inter-actions give rise to a layer structure...

The title compound, C(8)H(11)FN(5) (+)·Cl(-), crystallized with a monoprotonated 1-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)biguanidinium cation and a chloride anion in the asymmetric unit. The biguanidium group is not planar [dihedral angle between the two CN(3) groups = 52.0 (1)°] and is rotated with respect to the phenyl group [τ = 54.3 (3)°]. In the crystal, N-H⋯N hydrogen-bonded centrosymmetric dimers are connec...

In the title compound [Fe(NCS)2(C8H6N4S)2(H2O)2]·H2O, the Fe(II) cation is coordinated by two N-bonded thio-cyanate anions, two N (4)-bonded bis-(pyrazin-2-yl) sulfide ligands and two water mol-ecules in an slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Fe(II) cation is located on a center of inversion and the lattice water mol-ecule on a twofold rotation axis. The thio-cyanate anions, the coordi...

Formation of non bonded organic layer around inorganic particles like iron sulfide and zeolites, was hypothesized as starting point for one of the possible mechanisms of the origin of life on earth. In this study, the general circumstances needed for creation of such organic layer was investigated. An aliphatic hydrocarbon (hexane), an aromatic hydrocarbon (toluene), an alcohol (n-octanol) and ...

Silica-bonded n-propyldiethylenetriamine sulfamic acid (SBPDSA) was found as an efficient solid acid for the synthesis of coumarins. Coumarin derivatives were obtained via the Pechmann condensation reaction of phenols and β-keto-esters at 80 oC under solvent-free conditions. Also, biscoumarins were obtained via the condensation of aldehydes and 4-hydroxycoumarin in water at reflux conditions. T...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, (C7H11N2)2[Mn(NCS)4(C7H10N2)2], the manganese(II) cations are coordinated by four N-bonded thio-cyanate anions and two N-bonded 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridine ligands into discrete complex dianions. For charge balance, two 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine counter cations are present, which do not coordinate to the metal cation. The asymmetric unit consists ...
