The crystal structure of the title chiral Schiff base compound (E)-3,4-dimethoxy[(1-phenylethyl)iminomethyl]bezyne (1) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The title compound was further characterized by elemental analyses (CHN), FT-IR, 1H-NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with unit cell parameters: a = 19.0121 (2), b...

A complex of N, N, N', N', -tetramethylated ethylenediamine, TMEDA, with CuCI is prepared. The crystal and molecular structure of this complex is characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The complex is found to contain [Cu (TMEDA) ] cation which is nearly tetrahedral and the [CuCI ) anion is linear which Cu lies on a center of symmetry. Crystals are monoclinic space grou...

The title compound, C12H11N3O2, is a second monoclinic polymorph (P21, with Z' = 4) of the previously reported monoclinic (P21/c, with Z' = 2) form [Akhmad Aznan et al. (2010 ▶). Acta Cryst. E66, o2400]. Four independent mol-ecules comprise the asymmetric unit, which have the common features of a syn disposition of the pyridine N atom and the toluene ring, and an intra-molecular amine-nitro N-H...

Kinetic behaviour of three samples of samarium oxide (cubic (Sm-1 ), monoclinic (Sm-3) and mixed cubic-monoclinic (Sm 2) ) were studied in the oxidative coupling of methane using a gradientless flow circulation system. The specific rate of C2product formation differed by a factor of 6-8 for Sm-1 and Sm-3. The specific activity for CO formation did not depend upon the crystal structure of samari...

The Mn(II) ion in the title complex, [MnI(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], is six-coordinated in a distorted cis-N(4)I(2)Mn octa-hedral environment by four N atoms of the two chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two iodide anions. As a result of the different trans effects of the N and I atoms, the Mn-N bonds trans to the I atom are slightly longer than the Mn-N bonds trans to the N atom. The dihedral a...
