Two new coordination polymers, [Pb(L)(1,3-bdc)] ·2.5H2O (1) and [Cu(L)(1,4-bdc)] (2) (L = 2(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline; 1,3-bdc, 1,4-bdc = 1,3and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for 1: C54H40F2N8O13Pb2, triclinic, space group P1̄, a = 9...

In the title compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)O(4), (I), the mol-ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis which passes through the central C atom of the aliphatic chain, giving one half-mol-ecule per asymmetric unit. The structure is a monoclinic polymorph of the triclinic structure previously reported [Brito, Vallejos, Bolte & López-Rodríguez (2010). Acta Cryst. E66, o792], (II). The most obvious differen...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(6)N(4)O(4)S(2), contains two independent but similar mol-ecules. The structure is a triclinic polymorph of the monoclinic structure reported previously [Brito, Mundaca, Cárdenas, López-Rodríguez & Vargas (2007 ▶). Acta Cryst. E63, o3351-o3352]. The most obvious difference between the two polymorphs is the C-S-S-C torsion angle [-80.13 (16), -79....

Single crystal X-ray structures of two polymorphs of (2-fluoro-3-pyridyl)(2,2'-biphenyl)borinic 8-oxyquinolinate: orthorhombic (space group Pca21), and triclinic (space group P1̄) have been established and analysed. A fast rate of crystallization results in the orthorhombic polymorph, whereas slow crystallization gives the triclinic polymorph. Physicochemical and theoretical results prove that b...

We report the complete macroscopic average strain tensor for a cold-rolled uranium plate. The strain tensor was determined by the least-squares refinement of interplanar spacings for 19 Bragg reflections, as determined from the neutron TOF measurements at LANSCE. An annealed uranium plate was used as a reference sample, thus providing reference interplanar spacings for all 19 reflections. We al...

The crystal structures of two zinc(II) 5,15-dioxo-porphyrins (porphodimethenes) have been determined to investigate the coordination chemistry of porphyrins with interrupted conjuga­ tion system. Both compounds have a five-coordinated zinc center with pyridine as axial ligand and show overall structural parameters very similar to porphyrins. The oxidized meso-posi­ tions are, however, easily id...

The porin from Paracoccus denitrificans ATCC 13543 was purified and crystallized. Two crystal forms were obtained from porin solutions with beta-d-octylglucopyranoside as detergent. Crystals of form I belong to the monoclinic spacegroup C2 with unit cell dimensions a = 112.2 A, b = 193.8 A, c = 100.5 A and beta = 129.2 degrees. There is 1 trimer per asymmetric unit. Crystals of form II are tric...

The title compound, As[C6H3(CF3)2]3, has been synthesised by Grignard reaction from arsenic trichloride and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylmagnesium bromide. It crystallises in the triclinic space group P1̄ with two formula units in the asymmetric unit. The most prominent feature of the crystal structure is the protrusion of a phenyl group of one molecule into the cavity at the base of the pyrami...
