An important method for establishing a high-energy, stable and recycled molecular solar heat system is by designing and preparing novel photo-isomerizable molecules with a high enthalpy and a long thermal life by controlling molecular interactions. A meta- and ortho-bis-substituted azobenzene chromophore (AZO) is covalently grafted onto reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for solar thermal storage mat...

In the crystal of the title compound, the quinone fragment of the host (1) participates in weak D-A interactions with a neighboring naphthalene moiety of 1 and with the guest molecule via fairly short intermolecular face-to-face contacts. An intermolecular electrostatic interaction between a quinone-oxygen atom and a neighboring quinone ring is suggested by short O...C contacts. There exist sev...

The synthesis and spectral characterization of novel diorganotin complexes with 3-hydroxypyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, H(2)L(1), [SnMe(2)(L)] (2), [SnBu(2)(L)] (3), and [SnPh(2)(L)] (4) are reported. The single-crystal X-ray structure of complex [SnPh(2)(L)(DMSO)] (5) shows that the ligand is doubly deprotonated and is coordinated as tridentate ligand. The six coordination number i...

The crystal structure of r(GCCACCCUG).r(CAGGGUCGGC), helix II of the Xenopus laevis 5S rRNA with a cytosine bulge (underlined), has been determined in two forms at 2.2 A (Form I, space group P4(2)2(1)2, a = b = 57.15 A and c = 43.54 A) and 1.7 A (Form II, space group P4(3)2(1)2, a = b = 32.78 A and c = 102.5 A). The helical regions of the nonamers are found in the standard A-RNA conformations a...

Odd versus even: A series of bisamide-substituted diacetylenes with varying terminal alkyl spacer length showed unique pressure-induced photopolymerizability. The odd or even parity the gave a light-active and light-inert pristine state, respectively. It is revealed that intermolecular hydrogen bonds were highly influenced by parity, resulting in different crystalline packings photopolymerizati...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(15)N(3)O(2)S, which belongs to the family of thio-semicarbazones, containing an acid group, adopts a semi-closed conformation with an intramolecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, molecules are linked by strong N-H⋯O and O-H⋯S hydrogen bonds between the acid group and thiosemicarbazone unit, with one additional intermolecular hydrogen C-H⋯O inte...

The absolute stereochemistry of the title compound, C(9)H(15)NO(7), was determined from the use of d-glucuronolactone as the starting material. The compound crystallizes as the zwitterion. The five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation with the -CH(2)OH-substituted C atom forming the flap. An intramolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen-bond occurs. In the crystal, the compound exists as a three-dimen...

The construction of carbon–carbon bonds by direct involvement two unactivated carbon–hydrogen bonds, without any directing group, ensures a high atom economy the entire process. Here, we describe simple protocol for Pd(II)/Cu(II)-promoted intermolecular cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) 5-arylimidazoles, benzimidazoles, benzoxazole and 4,5-diphenylimidazole at their C-2 position with functio...

Abstract The crystal and molecular structures of the fluorocymantrenes [(C 5 H 4 F)Mn(CO) 3 ] 5−n F n )Mn (CO) 2 (PPh )] (n = 1–3) have been studied. influence phosphine for carbonyl substitution on bond parameters is larger than increasing fluorine content. In most cases Mn → P vector in a transoid position relative to substituents, therefore conformational PPh propeller are these very similar...

The reaction of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O, imidazole (ImH), and ethylenediamine (en) in a 1 : 2 : 1 ratio afforded in high yield dark-blue single-crystals of [(en)Cu(ImH)2](ClO4)2, 1, which can be used after deprotonation as a building block for heterometallic ferrimagnetic chains. The structural and electronic properties of 1 were examined by X-ray crystallography, FTIR, ESI-MS, electrochemistry, UV/vis/...
