A novel anhydrous 1:1 and 2:1 complexes of quinoline betaine (QB) with perchloric acid have been prepared and their structures determined by X-ray diffraction. The 1:1 complex betaine is protonated and the carboxylate group forms a hydrogen bond with the ClO4 ion: O⋯O distance is 2.820(3) A˚. In the 2:1 complex, the carboxylate group of a pair of QB molecules are bridged by a proton to form dimeric cation in non-planar configuration, [(QB)2H]+, featuring a very strong hydrogen bond of the length 2.453(3) A˚. The FTIR spectrum of the 1:1 complex shows a strong absorption at ca. 3100 cm−1 due to the νOH vibration. Broad and intense absorption in the 1500–400 cm−1 region in the spectrum of the 2:1 complex is typical for the very short hydrogen bonds. B3LYP calculations predict slightly shorter hydrogen bonds with different orientation of the ring vs. COOH group than these observed in crystals. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The 2:2 hydrogen-bonded complex between Kemp’s triacid (KTA) and 7-methyl-1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (MTBD) has been synthesised and studied by X-ray and FT-IR methods. The crystals of KTA–MTBD are orthorhombic, space group is Pbca with a= 15.3435(9)Å, b =13.0764(7)Å, c= 21.2403(14)Å, and Z =8. In the solid state two protonated MTBD and two deprotonated KTA molecules form a hydrogen-bonded dimer. The dimer structure is stabilised by two OH⋯O− middle strength and two N+H⋯Otermolecular hydrogen bonds as well as by two OO− very strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The existence of these three types of hydrogen bonds is well visible in the FT-IR spectrum of the complex and is discussed in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Structure of the 2:2 complex of cyclic oxaalkyl diamide of o-phthalic acid (CPhDA) with sodium perchlorate is studied by X-ray diffraction, ESI-MS, FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR as well as PM5 semiempirical methods. The crystal space group is P2 1 /n with a =8.599(1)Å, b =14.802(2)Å, c =13.988(2)Å, β= 93.37(1)° and Z =4. In the dimeric crystal structure each sodium cation is coordinated by oxygen atoms of two CPhDA molecules. The ESI-MS measurements have proved that in the gas phase the 2:2 (or 1:1) as well as 2:1 complexes are formed. In the acetonitrile solution the equilibrium between the 2:2 and 1:1 complexes is found. The structures of the 2:2, 1:1 and 2:1 complexes of CPhDA with sodium cation are visualized using the PM5 method and discussed in detail. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Crystal structure of monensin A rubidium salt dihydrate, [Rb(C36H61O11)·2H2O], has been studied by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and PM5 semiempirical methods. The crystal space group is P212121 with a =12.6153(7), b =16.4841(10), c =19.4840(12) and Z =4. The Rb–O bond lengths are between 2.788(7) and 2.901(6)Å. The carboxyl group of monensin A is deprotonated and engaged in two intramolecular O(11)–H···O(1) of 2.52(1)Å and O(10)–H···O(2) of 2.60(1)Å hydrogen bonds with hydroxyl groups, accompanied with formation of a pseudo-cyclic structure. This structure is stabilised by the coordination of the Rb+ cation by oxygen atoms. Two water molecules are involved in the weak intermolecular hydrogen bond between the different species forming a supramolecule. The IR spectrum of the crystal is consistent with the results obtained by the X-ray study and provides spectroscopic evidence for the complex formation. The calculated structure and the structural parameters of the monensin A rubidium salt are comparable with those determined by the X-ray study. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

The molecular structure of 1,2-di(3-hydroxymethylpyridinium)ethane dibromide ( 1 ) has been characterized by X-ray diffraction, B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) calculations, FTIR, Raman and NMR spectra. The crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c . 1,2-Di(3-hydroxymethylpyridinium)ethane dication and hydrogen-bonded bromide anions in crystals are located at the inversion center. The both CH 2 OH groups are engaged in two equal length hydrogen bonds with bromide anions. Two structures ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The optimized complex ( 2) resembles the crystal structure, while complex ( 3 ) is preferred energetically. The O⋯Br − hydrogen bonds distances are: 3.289(2) Å in crystals ( 1 ), but in the optimized structures ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) they are 3.303 Å and 3.461 Å, respectively. The investigated complex is additionally stabilized by the N + ⋯Br − electrostatic attractions. The potential energy distributions (PED) were used for the assignments of IR and Raman frequencies in the experimental and calculated spectra of the title compound. The FTIR spectrum of ( 1 ) is consistent with the X-ray results. Interpretation of the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra in DMSO- d 6 has been based on 2D experiments. The calculated GIAO/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) magnetic shielding constants have been used to predict 1 H and 13 C chemical shifts for the optimized structures of ( 2 ) and ( 3 ). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: For the first time the structure of the complex formed between N-allylamide of monensin A (M-AM2) and divalent cation (Sr2+) has been studied by X-ray crystallography and FT-IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of this complex contains one Sr2+ cation coordinated by six O atoms of M-AM2 molecule, one oxygen atom of the perchlorate anion and the nitrogen atom of the acetonitrile molecule. The M-AM2 molecule is additionally tied by an intramolecular hydrogen-bonded chain [O(3)H⋯O(9)H⋯O(10)H⋯O(1)e crystal data, FT-IR spectra and semiempirical calculations show that the oxygen atom of the amide group is not involved in the coordination of the Sr2+ cation. In the gas phase the formation of two types of (M-AM2+Sr)2+ and (M-AM2+Sr+ClO4)+ complexes is detected using ESI mass spectrometry and their structures are visualized by PM5 semiempirical calculations.

Abstract: A complex between a new N-phenylamide of monensin A (M-AM1) and sodium chloride has been synthesised and studied by X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the complex between M-AM1 and sodium chloride with acetonitrile was examined using X-ray diffraction and discussed in detail. Its structure is stabilised by coordination of the Na+ cation with oxygen atoms. The Na–O bond lengths are between 2.382(2) and 2.562(2)Å. The chloride anion is involved in a weak intermolecular hydrogen bond between different species forming a supramolecule. The ESI-MS spectra indicate that the amide forms stable complexes of exclusively 1:1 stoichiometry with Na+ cations. The FT-IR spectrum of the crystal is consistent with the results obtained by the X-ray study and provides spectroscopic evidence for the complex formation. Due to its specific structural properties N-phenylamide of monensin A efficiently binds sodium chloride. The result of the PM5 semiempirical calculation is in agreement with the spectroscopic data and allows visualisation of the structure of the M-AM1–Na+ complex. The new amide of monensin A has been additionally tested in view of its antimicrobial properties. It shows great activity towards some strains of Gram-positive bacteria (MIC=6.25–12.5μg/ml).
