The title compound, C(2)H(2)·C(12)H(24)O(6)·2NH(3), was formed by co-crystallization of 18-crown-6 and acetyl-ene in liquid ammonia. The 18-crown-6 mol-ecule has threefold rotoinversion symmetry. The acteylene mol-ecule lies on the threefold axis and the whole mol-ecule is generated by an inversion center. The two ammonia mol-ecules are also located on the threefold axis and are related by inve...

Pentaammine dioxido uranium(VI) dibromide ammonia (1/1), [UO2(NH3)5]Br2·NH3, was synthesized in the form of yellow crystals by the reaction of uranyl bromide, UO2Br2, with dry liquid ammonia. The compound crystallizes orthorhombic in space group Cmcm and is isotypic to [UO2(NH3)5]Cl2·NH3 with a = 13.2499(2), b = 10.5536(1), c = 8.9126(1) Å, V = 1246.29(3) Å(3) and Z = 4 at 123 K. The UO2(2+) ca...

Some animals consuming hay treated with anhydrous ammonia have developed neurological signs including hyperexcitability, circling and convulsions. A series of experiments was conducted to identify tentatively the toxin and determine its mode of action. Three out of four sheep fed ammoniated orchardgrass hay (approximately 4% ammonia on a dry basis) developed convulsions. Two of the three sheep ...

Treatment of 4-heptafluoroisopropyl-2-methoxy-3,5,6-trifluropyridine (4 ) with aqueous ammonia in THF gave 2-amino-3,5-difluoro-4-heptafluoroisopropyl- 6-methoxy pyridine (5) in 7 1% yield. Chlorination of this amine with 'ButOCl at -16°C gave an unstable product, namely 2-dichloroarnino-3,5- difluoro-4-heptafluoroisopropyl-6-methoxy pyridine (6). Iodine-catalysed rearrangement of this dic...

The synthesis, crystal structure and dehydrogenation performances of two new H-enriched compounds, Mg(BH4)2(NH3BH3)2 and Mg(BH4)2·(NH3)2(NH3BH3), are reported. Due to the introduction of ammonia ligands, the Mg(BH4)2·(NH3)2(NH3BH3) exhibits dramatically improved dehydrogenation properties over its parent compound.

The title compound, NH(4) (+)·C(8)H(7)Cl(2)O(6) (-)·0.5H(2)O, was prepared by the reaction of 2-(2,4-dichloro-phen-oxy)-acetic acid and ammonia in water at 367 K. The mol-ecular structure and packing are stabilized by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen-bond inter-actions.

Ammonia is an essential compound to modern society, underpinning fertilizer production and chemical manufacturing. Global ammonia demand currently exceeds 150 million tons a year projected increase over 2% annually. Over 96% of generated through the Haber-Bosch (HB) process, in which steam-reformed hydrogen reacts with nitrogen under reaction conditions that consume 1–2% global energy contribut...

The title compound, C(10)H(11)NO(4), was formed from 4,1-benzoxazepine-2,5(1H,3H)-dione and ammonia gas. Intra-molecular hydrogen bonding is present between the amide N-H group and the carbonyl O atom of the ester group. The crystal structure features inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
