Project description:A DFT study of U(VI) hydroxy complexes was performed with special attention paid to the [(UO2)3(OH)5(H2O)4-7]+ and [(UO2)4(OH)7(H2O)5-8]+ species. It was established that the ionicity of the U=O bond increased when moving from [(UO2)(H2O)5]2+, [(UO2)2(OH)(H2O)8]3+, [(UO2)2(OH)2(H2O)6]2+, [(UO2)3(OH)5(H2O)4-6]+ to [(UO2)4(OH)7(H2O)5-8]+ species. In both [(UO2)3(OH)5(H2O)4-6]+ and [(UO2)4(OH)7(H2O)5-8]+ complexes, the U=O bond was observed to have a range of different lengths which depended on the composition of the first coordination sphere of UO22+. The cyclic structures of trimeric complexes were somewhat more stable than their linear structures, which was probably due to the steric effect.

Project description:The structure of racemic (RS)-trichlorme-thia-zide [systematic name: (RS)-6-chloro-3-(di-chloro-meth-yl)-1,1-dioxo-3,4-di-hydro-2H-1λ6,2,4-benzo-thia-di-azine-7-sulfonamide], C8H8Cl3N3O4S2 (RS-TCMZ), a diuretic drug used in the treatment of oedema and hypertension, was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data using DASH [David et al. (2006 ▸). J. Appl. Cryst. 39, 910-915.], refined by the Rietveld method with TOPAS-Academic [Coelho (2018 ▸). J. Appl. Cryst. 51, 210-218], and optimized using DFT-D calculations. The extended structure consists of head-to-tail dimers connected by π-π inter-actions which, in turn, are connected by C-Cl⋯π inter-actions. They form chains propagating along [101], further connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to produce layers parallel to the ac plane that stack along the b-axis direction, connected by additional N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates a major contribution of H⋯O and H⋯Cl inter-actions (32.2 and 21.7%, respectively). Energy framework calculations confirm the major contribution of electrostatic inter-actions (E elec) to the total energy (E tot). A comparison with the structure of S-TCMZ is also presented.

Project description:The title imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine derivative, C13H8Br2N2, was synthesized via a single-step reaction method. The title mol-ecule is planar, showing a dihedral angle of 0.62 (17)° between the phenyl and the imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine rings. An intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bond with an S(5) ring motif is present. In the crystal, a short H⋯H contact links adjacent mol-ecules into inversion-related dimers. The dimers are linked in turn by weak C-H⋯π and slipped π-π stacking inter-actions, forming layers parallel to (110). The layers are connected into a three-dimensional network by short Br⋯H contacts. Two-dimensional fingerprint plots and three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface analysis of the inter-molecular contacts reveal that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯Br/Br⋯H (26.1%), H⋯H (21.7%), H⋯C/C⋯H (21.3%) and C⋯C (6.5%) inter-actions. Energy framework calculations suggest that the contacts formed between mol-ecules are largely dispersive in nature. Analysis of HOMO-LUMO energies from a DFT calculation reveals the pure π character of the aromatic rings with the highest electron density on the phenyl ring, and σ character of the electron density on the Br atoms. The HOMO-LUMO gap was found to be 4.343 eV.

Project description:A new conjugated carbazole chalcone compound, (E)-3-[4-(9,9a-di-hydro-8aH-carbazol-9-yl)phen-yl]-1-(4-nitro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (CPNC), C27H18N2O3, was synthesized using a Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. CPNC crystallizes in the monoclinic non-centrosymmetric space group Cc and adopts an s-cis conformation with respect to the ethyl-enic double bonds (C=O and C=C). The crystal packing features C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions whose percentage contribution was qu-anti-fied by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Quantum chemistry calculations including geometrical optimization and mol-ecular electrostatic potential (MEP) were analysed by density functional theory (DFT) with a B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) basis set.

Project description:A RASSCF approach to simulate the O K-edge XANES spectra of uranyl is employed, utilizing three models that progressively improve the representation of the local crystal environment. Simulations successfully reproduce the observed three-peak profile of the experimental spectrum and confirm peak assignments made by Denning. The [UO2Cl4]2- model offers the best agreement with experiment, with peak positions (to within 1 eV) and relative peak separations accurately reproduced. Establishing a direct link between a specific electronic transition and peak intensity is complicated, as a large number of possible transitions can contribute to the overall peak profile. Furthermore, a relationship between oxygen character in the antibonding orbital and the strength of the transition breaks down when using a variety of orbital composition approaches at larger excitation energy. Covalency analysis of the U-O bond in both the ground- and excited-state reveals a dependence on the crystal environment. Orbital composition analysis reveals an underestimation of the uranium contribution to ground-state bonding orbitals when probing O K-edge core-excited states, regardless of the uranyl model employed. However, improving the environmental model provides core-excited state electronic structures that are better representative of that of the ground-state, validating their use in the determination of covalency and bonding.

Project description:The title compound, C34H58O2, consists of cholesteryl and hepta-noate units, in which the six-membered rings adopt chair and twisted-boat conformations while the five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are aligned along the a-axis direction and stacked along the b-axis direction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (92.4%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (6.1%) inter-actions. van der Waals inter-actions are the dominant inter-actions in the crystal packing. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/ 6-31 G(d) level are compared with the experimentally determined mol-ecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO-LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap, and the mol-ecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of the compound was investigated.

Project description:Gadolinium is a special case in spectroscopy because of the near isotropic nature of the 4f7 configuration of the +3 oxidation state. Gd3+ complexes have been studied in several symmetries to understand the underlying mechanisms of the ground state splitting. The abundance of information in Gd3+ spectra can be used as a probe for properties of the other rare earth ions in the same complexes. In this work, the zero-field splitting (ZFS) of a series of Gd3+ pentagonal bipyramidal complexes of the form [GdX1X2(Leq)5]n+ [n = 1, X = axial ligands: Cl-, -OtBu, -OArF5 or n = 3, X = tBuPO(NHiPr)2, Leq = equatorial ligand: Py, THF or H2O] with near fivefold symmetry axes along X1-Gd-X2 was investigated. The ZFS parameters were determined by fitting of room-temperature continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra (at X-, K-, and Q-band) to a spin Hamiltonian incorporating extended Stevens operators compatible with C5 symmetry. Examination of the acquired parameters led to the conclusion that the ZFS is dominated by the B20 term and that the magnitude of B20 is almost entirely dependent on, and inversely proportional to, the donor strength of the axial ligands. Surveying the continuous shape measure and the X1-Gd-X2 angle of the complexes showed that there is some correlation between the proximity of each complex to D5h symmetry and the magnitude of the B65 parameter, but that the deformation of the X1-Gd-X2 angle is more significant than other distortions. Finally, the magnitude of B20 was found to be inversely proportional to the thermal barrier for the reversal of the magnetic moment (Ueff) of the corresponding isostructural Dy3+ complexes.

Project description:Pentavalent uranyl species are crucial intermediates in transformations that play a key role for the nuclear industry and have recently been demonstrated to persist in reducing biotic and abiotic aqueous environments. However, due to the inherent instability of pentavalent uranyl, little is known about its electronic structure. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of monomeric and dimeric, pentavalent uranyl amide complexes. These synthetic efforts enable the acquisition of emission spectra of well-defined pentavalent uranyl complexes using photoluminescence techniques, which establish a unique signature to characterize its electronic structure and, potentially, its role in biological and engineered environments via emission spectroscopy.
