2-Amino-4-nitroaniline crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric space group giving it significant potential for second-order nonlinear optical properties (NLO) in the bulk. The theoretically predicted NLO properties at the molecular level are confirmed using various methods like X-ray diffraction, conventional and polarized IR spectroscopy, thermal and elemental analysis.

The crystal structure and optical and magnetic properties of the newly synthesized 4-cyanopyridinium hydrogensquarate monohydrate are analyzed by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other spectroscopic methods. The unusual red color of the compound in the solid state is shown to be due to a strong bathochromic shift of the charge transfer band within the stable layers formed by the (2HSq.2[H.sub.2]O) fragments.

The single crystal X-ray structures and the spectroscopic properties of complexes of monensic acid (C36H62O11·H2O) with toxic metal ions of Cd(II) and Hg(II) are discussed. The cadmium(II) complex ( 1) is of composition [Cd(C36H61O11)2(H2O)2] and crystallizes in the monoclinic system (space group P2(1), Z = 2) with a = 12.4090(8), b = 24.7688(16), c = 14.4358(11) Å, β = 91.979(7)°. Two ligand monoanions are bound in a bidentate coordination mode to Cd(II) via the carboxylate and the primary hydroxyl oxygens occupying the equatorial plane of the complex. The axial positions of the inner coordination sphere of Cd(II) are filled by two water molecules additionally engaged in intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The Hg(II) complex ( 2), [Hg(C36H60O11)(H2O)], crystallizes in the orthorhombic system (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), Z = 4) with a = 12.7316(2), b = 16.4379(3), c = 18.7184(4) Å. The monensic acid reacts with Hg(II) in a tetradentate coordination manner via both oxygen atoms of the carboxylate function and oxygens of two hydroxyl groups. The twofold negative charge of the ligand is achieved by deprotonation of carboxylic and secondary hydroxyl groups located at the opposite ends of the molecule. Hg(II) is surrounded by five oxygen atoms in a distorted square pyramidal molecular geometry. [Figure not available: see fulltext.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cations and anions of the title compound {systematic name: 1-[4-(amino­carbonyl)butyl]guanidinium bis­(hydrogen­squarate)}, C6H17N5O2+·2C4HO4−, are connected into a three-dimensional network by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between thel-argininamidium ammonium, amide and guanidinium functions and the hydrogensquarate carbonyl O atoms. The independent hydrogensquarate monoanions are linked into dimers by pairs of O—H⋯O′ hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
