Poly[(μ6-naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylato-κ6O1:O1′:O1′:O4:O4′:O4′)iron(II)]

Poly[μ2-aqua-diaqua­(μ8-3-nitro­benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato)(μ6-3-nitro­benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato)tetra­sodium]

In the title layered coordination polymer, [Na(4)(C(8)H(3)NO(6))(2)(H(2)O)(3)](n), the doubly deprotonated 3-nitro-benzene-1,2-dicarboxyl-ate ligands exhibit μ(8)- and μ(6)-coordination modes to the sodium ions, generating sheets lying parallel to (001). The coordination environments of the sodium ions are distorted octa-hedral, distorted trigonal-bipyramidal and moncapped trigonal-prismatic. O...

Gold-catalyzed naphthalene functionalization

The complexes IPrMCl (IPr = 1,3-bis(diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene, M = Cu, 1a; M = Au, 1b), in the presence of one equiv of NaBAr'(4) (Ar' = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl), catalyze the transfer of carbene groups: C(R)CO(2)Et (R = H, Me) from N(2)C(R)CO(2)Et to afford products that depend on the nature of the metal center. The copper-based catalyst yields exclusively a cycloheptatriene ...

2,3,6,7-Tetra­kis(bromo­meth­yl)naphthalene

The title compound, C(14)H(12)Br(4), crystallizes with imposed inversion symmetry. In the crystal, the mol-ecules pack in layers parallel to (10). The layers involve two Br⋯Br and one H⋯Br contact. Between the layers, one contact each of types Br⋯Br, H⋯Br and Br⋯π is observed.

1-(Phenyl­sulfon­yl)naphthalene

In the title compound, C(16)H(12)O(2)S, the phenyl ring is nearly perpendicular to the naphthalene system [dihedral angle = 80.3 (1)°]. The packing is consolidated by a weak C-H⋯π inter-action involving neighbouring naphthalene and benzene rings. In addition, there exist two different offset π-π stacking inter-actions between benzene rings and between naphthalene systems of symmetry-related mol...
