Structure and spectra of dichloro(hydroxy-methoxy-di(2-pyridyl)methane)copper(II)
The non-electrolyte dichloro(hydroxy-methoxy-di(2-pyridylmethane)copper(II), resulting from the reaction of di(2-pyridyl)ketone and copper(II) chloride in methanol solution, was isolated and characterized and its structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The pyridyl nitrogens and the chloride anions virtually from a basal plane in which lies the copper atom, while the oxygen of the methoxy group is in an apical position at a distance of 2.497 (3)Å. The nitrogenous base adopts the boat conformation with the pyridyl rings forming a dihedral angle of 108.72 (14)°. The nearest interatomic copper distance of 3.940(3)Å precludes copper-copper interactions, while the proximity of copper to the out-of-plane chlorine atoms [3.109(3)Å] suggests weakly bound chloro-bridged dimers. Spectral changes indicate that protic molecules displace the methoxy group and water affords the corresponding 1,1-diol

The anions [(ZrOH(CO3)3)2]6− and [(ZrOH(C2O4)3)2]6−: single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the complexes guanidinium zirconium carbonate [(C(NH2)3)3ZrOH(CO3)3·H2O]2 and sodium zirconium oxalate Na6(ZrOH(C2O4)3)2·7H2O
The complex [(C(NH2)3)3ZrOH(CO3)3·H2O]2 (A) has been shown by means of a single crystal X-ray diffraction study to contain [C(NH2)3]+ cations and dimeric anions of formulation [(ZrOH(CO3)3)2]6−. The anion is centrosymmetric with each metal being bonded to two bridging OH groups and three chelating CO2−3 ions. The Zr atoms are thus eight coordinate with a dodecahedral environments. The ZrO distances formed by the bridgng OH groups are shorter than those formed through zirconiu carbonate interactions. The non-bonded Zr…Zr distance is 3.47(2) Å. An infrared spectroscopic investigation of A provides data which support the findings of the crystallographic study. Likewise the complex Na6(ZrOH(CO2O4)3)2·7H2O (B) contains the anion [(ZrOH(C2O4)3)2]6−. This anion is structurally related to the anion in A as each Zr atom has an eight-coordinate dodecahedral environment being bonded to two bridging OH groups and three chelating oxalate ligands, but has no imposed crysallographic symmetry. The Zr…Zr non-bonded distance is 3.50(1) Å. The OZrO bridge angles are 69.7(4)° and A and 67.4(3)° in B
Crystal structures of the two epimers from the unusual thermal C6-epimerization of 5-oxo-1,2,3,5,5a,6,7,9b-octahydro-7,9a-epoxypyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindole-6-carboxylic acid, 5a(RS),6(SR),7(RS),9a(SR),9b(SR) and 5a(RS),6(RS),7(RS),9a(SR),9b(SR)
The isomeric title compounds, C12H13NO4 (Ia) and C12H13NO4 (IIa), the products of an usual thermal C6-epimerization of 5-oxo-1,2,3,5,5a,6,7,9b-octahydro-7,9a-epoxypyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindole-6-carboxylic acid, represent the two different diastereomers and have very similar molecular geometries. The molecules of both compounds comprise a fused tetracyclic system containing four five-membered rings (pyrrolidine, pyrrolidinone, dihydrofuran and tetrahydrofuran), all of which adopt the usual envelope conformations. The dihedral angle between the basal planes of the pyrrolidine and pyrrolidinone rings are 14.3 (2) and 16.50 (11)°, respectively, for (Ia) and (IIa). The nitrogen atom has a slightly pyramidalized geometry [bond-angle sum = 355.9 and 355.3°, for (Ia) and (IIa)], respectively. In the crystal of (Ia), molecules form zigzag-like hydrogen-bonded chains along [010] through strong O—H...O hydrogen bonds and are further linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds into complex two-tier layers parallel to (100). Unlike (Ia), the crystal of (IIa) contains centrosymmetric cyclic hydrogen-bonded dimers [graph set R22(14)], formed through strong O—H...O hydrogen bonds and are further linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds into ribbons extending across [101]
Features of microstructure and magnetic flux dynamics in superconducting Nb-Ti tapes with strong anisotropic pinning
Results of micro-structural, phase and texture analysis of Nb-Ti tapes and results of magnetic flux dynamics fixed by Magneto-Optical Imaging (MOI) method are presented in order to investigate origin and consequences of the anisotropic pinning model proposed, and implemented earlier experimental results including Guided Vortex Motion (GVM) phenomenon
