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: 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.
