Semiclathrate hydrate formers such as tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB), chloride (TBAC) and fluoride (TBAF) are promising compounds that mild the thermodynamic conditions of gas hydrates, considerably. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is employed in this manuscript to calculate dissociation enthalpies methane/carbon dioxide/nitrogen + TBAF semiclathrate hydrates. A 460 cm3 stirred batch reac...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(30)H(42), occupies a special position on an inversion center. The four butyl side chains have all-trans planar conformations, and the alkyl planes are nearly orthogonal to the anthracene plane [C-C-C-C torsion angles of 79.6 (2) and 78.2 (2)°]. The overall mol-ecule has a stair-like shape with the n-butyl groups at the 1 and 8 positions extending towards t...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(28)H(32), is located on a crystallographic inversion center. The ethyl groups are essentially coplanar with the tetra-cene ring, making a torsion angle of -0.4 (4)°. The isopropyl groups adopt an asymmetric conformation with their terminal methyl groups positioned on opposite sides of the tetra-cene plane [the Me-C-C-C torsion angles are -22.5 (4) and 100....

The N-H bond in the title compound, C(13)H(14)NO(3)P, is syn-oriented relative to the P=O bond. The N atom deviates somewhat from planarity, the sum of the bond angles being 353.3°. The P atom has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination; its bond angles are in the range 93.96 (5)-116.83 (6)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers through P=O⋯H-N hydrogen bonds.

In the title complex, [Mn(C(10)H(7)N(6))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], the Mn(2+) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two N atoms from two 5-[4-(imidazol-1-yl)phen-yl]tetra-zolide ligands and four O atoms from four water mol-ecules, displaying a distorted MnN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the coo...

In the title compound, NH(4) (+)·(C(2)H(5)O)(2)PS(2) (-), the ammonium cation is connected by four charge-assisted N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds to four tetra-hedral O,O'-diethyl dithio-phosphate anions, forming layers parallel to (100). The polar and non-polar constituents of the layers are stacked alternately along [100]. Inter-lacing of the external ethyl groups through van der Waals inter-actions co...

Single crystals of yttrium penta-phosphate(V), YP(5)O(14), were obtained by solid-state reaction. The ortho-rhom-bic title compound belongs to the family of ultraphosphates and is the second polymorph of this composition. It is isotypic with its Ho and Er analogues. The structure contains two bridging Q(2)-type PO(4) tetra-hedra and one branching Q(3)-type PO(4) tetra-hedron, leading to infinit...

In the title compound, [Cd₂I₄(C₆H₁₄N₂)₂](n), there are two independent Cd(II) ions. One Cd(II) ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment by four N atoms from two cyclo-hexane-1,2-diamine ligands and two iodido ligands. The other Cd(II) ion is coordinated by four iodido ligands in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment. Two of the iodido ...
