The binuclear title compound, [Cu(2)(C(7)H(4)N(3)O(2))(4)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], is a discrete metal-organic compound having a paddle-wheel-type structure. The Cu⋯Cu distance is 2.6366 (5) Å and an inversion center is located at the mid-point of this bond. The Cu(II) cation is coordinated by four carboxyl-ate O atoms from four 4-azido-benzoate ligands, and one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide mol-ecu...

Amplification of a DNA target by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) often requires laborious optimization efforts. In this regard, the use of certain organic chemicals such as dimethyl sulfoxide, polyethylene glycol, betaine and formamide as cosolvents has been found to be very helpful. Unfortunately, very little is known about the precise structural features that make these additives effectiv...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Ag(4)W(2)S(8)(C(25)H(22)P(2))(3)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, tris-[μ(2)-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)meth-ane]-3:6κ(2)P:P';4:5κ(2)P:P';5:6κ(2)P:P'-μ(5)-sulfido-2:3:4:5:6κ(5)S-μ(3)-sulfido-1:3:4κ(3)S-tetra-μ(2)-sulfido-1:3κ(2)S;1:4κ(2)S;2:5κ(2)S;2:6κ(2)S-disulfido-1κS,2κS-tetra-silver(I)ditungsten(VI) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate, contains two [WS(4)](2-) anions, four...

In this study, theophylline (1) compounds were synthesized with addition of 2-bromoetha-nol, 2-bromoacetamide and methyl-2-bromoacetate to attain symmetric connections NHCs (2a–c). New complexes containing the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands using azolium salts in dimethyl formamide (DMF). After NHC predecessor reacted Ag2O, Ag(I)-NHC following: 7,9-di-(2-hydroxyethyl)-8,9-dihydro-1,3-dime...

The title compound, {[NiCl(2)(C(5)H(6)N(2))(C(3)H(7)NO)]·C(3)H(7)NO}(n), is a two-dimensional polymer in which the Ni(II) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two 3-amino-pyridine ligands, one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide (DMF) group, one terminal Cl and two bridging Cl atoms in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Ni(II) atoms are bridged by the 3-amino-pyridine ligands [Ni⋯N = 6.7048 ...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Pb(C(9)H(6)NO)(2)]·0.5C(3)H(7)NO}(n), comprises Pb(quinolate)(2) and half a dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule (which is disordered about a centre of inversion). The quinolate ligands N,O-chelate to a Pb(II) ion and simultaneously bridge a neighbouring Pb(II) ion to form a polymeric chain along [100] comprising Pb-linked Pb(2)O(2) distorted rhombi. These c...

Crystallization-driven self-assembly of polyethylene-b-poly(tert-butylacrylate) (PE-b-PtBA) block copolymers (BCPs) in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) was studied. It is found that all three PE-b-PtBA BCPs used in this work can self-assemble into one-dimensional crystalline cylindrical micelles. When the BCP solution is cooled to crystallization temperature (Tc) from 130 °C, the seed micelles may ...

The title complex, [Ni(C(12)H(11)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)], lies on on an inversion center. The Ni(II) ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination enviroment by four O atoms from two bis-chelating 4-acety-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-olate ligands in the equatorial plane and two O atoms from two N,N-dimethyl-formamide ligands in the axial sites. In the crystal struc...

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg(C(3)H(7)NO)(4)(H(2)O)(2)]Cl(2), in which the Mg ion lies on a crystallographic inversion centre, confirms that of the previous room-temperature study [Pavanello et al. (1995 ▶). Main Group Met. Chem.18, 9-19]. This redetermination at 113 K has improved geometry precision by almost an order of magnitude [e.g. Mg-O(w) (w = water) distances = 2.094 ...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Co(DMF)(6)](ClO(4))(2) (DMF = N,N-dimethyl-formamide, C(3)H(7)NO), consists of two half complex cations with the Co(2+) metal ions located on centers of inversion and two perchlorate anions. In the crystal packing, each Co(2+) ion is coordinated by six mol-ecules of DMF in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The crystal structure is mainly stabi...
