The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C49H36O6·CHCl3, contains half an organic mol-ecule, the complete mol-ecule being generated by the operation of a crystallographic twofold rotation axis, and half a highly disordered chloro-form mol-ecule. The contribution to the diffraction pattern of the latter was removed using the program SQUEEZE in PLATON [Spek (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155]; ...

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C52H38N4O8, are located on an inversion center so that the asymmetric cell contains one half of the mol-ecule. The macrocycle exhibits a ruffled conformation with a maximum deviation of 0.16 Å for the 24 macrocycle atoms: the dihedral angle between adjacent five-membered rings is 5.13 (19)°. The benzene rings are rotated by 70.25 (19)° with respect to their adj...

The title compound, C(46)H(40)N(4)O(2)·0.33C(6)H(12), was obtained unintentionally as a product of an attempted synthesis of a cadmium(II) complex of the [2,6-{PhSe(CH(2))(2)N=CPh}(2)C(6)H(2)(4-Me)(OH)] ligand. The full tetra-imino-diphenol macrocyclic ligand is generated by the application of an inversion centre. The macrocyclic ligand features strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The ...

We present a systematic algorithm capable of searching for optimal colors for any lightness L* (between 0 and 100), any illuminant (D65, F2, F7, F11, etc.), and any light source reported by CIE. Color solids are graphed in some color spaces (CIELAB, SVF, DIN99d, and CIECAM02) by horizontal (constant lightness) and transversal (constant hue angle) sections. Color solids plotted in DIN99d and CIE...

In the title complex, trans-[PtCl2{P(C6H11)2(4-Me2NC6H4)}2]·2CH2Cl2, the Pt(II) atom is located on an inversion centre, resulting in a trans-square-planar geometry. Important geometric parameters are the Pt-P and Pt-Cl bond lengths of 2.3258 (6) and 2.3106 (6) Å, respectively, and the P-Pt-Cl angles of 89.64 (2) and 90.36 (2)°. The effective cone angle for the dicyclo-hex-yl[4-(dimethyl-amino)-...

In the title compound, C26H30O2, the central benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 14.85 (15) and 28.17 (14)° with the terminal benzene rings. The dihedral angle between the terminal benzene rings is 32.14 (13)°. The crystal packing exhibits two strong inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming directed four-membered co-operative rings. A region of disordered electron density, most probably ...

In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(7)H(6)N(2)S)(2)]·0.5CH(3)CH(2)OH, the Zn(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms of two 2-amino-benzothia-zole ligands and two Cl atoms within a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the N/Zn/N and Cl/Zn/Cl planes is 86.22 (7)°. The benzothia-zole mol-ecules are almost perpendicular to each other, forming a dihedral angle of 80.20 (8)°. The...

Six different methods for white-balancing digital images were compared in terms of their ability to produce white-balanced colors close to those viewed under a specific viewing illuminant. The six methods were: native camera RGB, XYZ, CAM02, ITU Rec BT.709 RGB, sharpened camera RGB, and illuminant-dependent. 4096 different sets of camera sensitivities were synthesized; 170 objects were evaluate...

In the title compound, C(27)H(15)NO(6)·0.5CHCl(3), the central pyran ring and both the benzopyran systems are planar, with the dihedral angle between the outer rings being 3.24 (6)°. The indolin-2-one system is in a perpendicular configuration with respect to the pyran ring [dihedral angle = 87.58 (2)°]. Supra-molecular layers in the ac plane are formed in the crystal structure whereby inversio...

The observed color of an object is influenced by the spectral distribution of an illuminant impinging upon it. Here we explored a method to obtain optimal illumination spectra for local contrast enhancement based on human vision. First, multispectral imaging was used to measure the spectral reflectance of the sample and color segmentation was used to extract its color features. Then we obtained...
