1-Benzoyl-3,3-dibutyl­thio­urea

The title mol­ecule, C16H24N2OS, is twisted about the central N(H)—C bond with a C—N(H)—C—N torsion angle of −62.67 (15)°. The carbonyl group is twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring, forming a C—C—C=O torsion angle of −25.06 (17)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules related by centres of symmetry are linked by pairs of inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons. These are further connected by weak via C—H⋯O contacts, forming a two-dimensional array in the bc plane

Nanostructured RuO2 on MWCNTs: Efficient catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds and aerial oxidation of alcohols

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/ruthenium dioxide nanoparticles (RuO2NPs) composite was prepared by a straightforward ‘dry synthesis’ method. After being well characterized, the prepared composite was used as a nanocatalyst (RuO2/MWCNT) for the transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds. The excellent adhesion of RuO2NPs on the anchoring sites of MWCNTs was confirmed by TEM and Raman analyses. The weight percentage (7.97 wt%) and the chemical state (+4) of Ru in RuO2/MWCNT was confirmed by EDS and XPS analyses, respectively. It was found that the RuO2/MWCNT has a higher specific surface area of 189.3 m2 g?1. Initially the reaction conditions were optimized and then the scope of the catalytic system was extended with a wide range of carbonyl compounds. The influence of the size of RuO2NPs on the transfer hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds was also studied. The RuO2/MWCNT is highly chemoselective, heterogeneous in nature, reusable and highly stable. Owing to the high stability of the used catalyst (u-RuO2/MWCNT), it was further calcinated at high temperature to obtain RuO2 nanorods (NRs) hybrid MWCNTs. Then the hybrid material was used as a catalyst (r-RuO2/MWCNT) for the aerial oxidation of alcohols and the result was found to be good.ArticleApplied Catalysis A. 484(22):84-96 (2014)journal articl

1-Benzoyl-3,3-bis­(propan-2-yl)thio­urea

Two independent thio­urea derivatives comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H20N2OS. The major difference between the mol­ecules relates to a twist in the relative orientation of the benzene rings [torsion angles = 4.5 (2) and −19.9 (2)° for the two independent mol­ecules]. The thio­carbonyl and carbonyl groups lie to opposite sides of the mol­ecule as there are twists about the central N—S bond [torsion angles = 83.90 (15) and 81.77 (15)°]. Supra­molecular chains extending parallel to [101] with a stepped topology and mediated by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding feature in the crystal structure. C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions are also present

Nonthermal plasma assisted photocatalytic oxidation of dilute benzene

Oxidative decomposition of low concentrations (50-1000 ppm) of diluted benzene in air was carried out in a nonthermal plasma (NTP) dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor with the inner electrode made up of stainless steel fibres (SMF) modified with transition metal oxides in such a way to integrate the catalyst in discharge zone. Typical results indicate the better performance of MnOx and TiO2/MnOx modified systems, which may be attributed to the in situ decomposition of ozone on the surface of MnOx that may lead to the formation of atomic oxygen; whereas ultraviolet light induced photocatalytic oxidation may be taking place with TiO2 modified systems. Water vapour improved the selectivity to total oxidatio

Dicyclo­hexyl­ammonium thio­cyanate: monoclinic polymorph

The title salt, C12H24N+·NCS−, represents a monoclinic polymorph of the previously reported ortho­rhom­bic form [Khawar Rauf et al. (2008 ▶). Acta Cryst. E64, o366]. Two independent formula units comprise the asymmetric unit with the major difference in their mol­ecular structures relating to the relative dispositions of the cyclo­hexyl rings [dihedral angles = 79.88 (6) and 67.72 (5)°]. Further, the independent anions form distinctive patterns of hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, i.e. 2 × N—H⋯N versus N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S. The resulting supra­molecular architecture is a supra­molecular chain along the c axis based on a square-wave topology

Bis(3-benzoyl-1,1-di-sec-butyl­thio­ureato-κ2 O,S)palladium(II)

The complex mol­ecule of the title complex, [Pd(C16H23N2OS)2], is completed by crystallographic twofold symmetry with the metal atom lying on the rotation axis. The PdII atom exists within a slightly distorted square-planar geometry defined by a cis-O2S2 donor set. The dihedral angle formed between the mean planes of the symmetry-related six-membered chelate rings is 12.88 (7)° and the bond lengths within the rings are indicative of significant electron delocalization. In the crystal, mol­ecules aggregate into dimers linked by four C—H⋯O inter­actions

3-Benzoyl-1,1-dibenzyl­thio­urea

Two independent thio­urea mol­ecules comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C22H20N2OS. The central N–C(=S)N(H)C(=O) atoms in each mol­ecule are virtually superimposable and each is twisted [C—N—C—S torsion angles = 121.3 (3) and −62.3 (4)°]. The mol­ecules differ only in terms of the relative orientations of the benzyl benzene rings [major difference between the C—N—C—C torsion angles of −146.6 (3) and −132.9 (3)°]. The presence of N—H⋯S hydrogen bonding leads to the formation of supra­molecular chains along the a axis. These are consolidated in the crystal packing by C—H⋯O inter­actions. The crystal was found to be a combined non-merohedral and racemic twin (twin law 00/00/001), with the fractional contribution of the minor components being approximately 9 and 28%
