The 1:2 complex of boric acid with pyridoxine (1) crystallizes from aqueous solution as monohydrate in the triclinic space group P1. The molecular structure of 1 corresponds to the expected bis-chelate containing two non-equivalent pyridoxinate ligands, one of them being dianionic and the other one monanionic, betain-like with a protonated pyridine nitrogen atom. In the crystal structure hydrogen bonding, involving the water molecule, provides a supramolecular arrangement in form of sheets parallel to [011]. The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of 1 reveal a fast proton exchange between 771 the two ligands in aqueous solution. Two new boron-pyridoxine complexes [Ph 2 B(H 2 pdn)] (2) and [B(C 2 O 4 )(H 2 pdn)] (3) (H 3 pdn ϭ pyridoxine) were prepared and characterized. In The crystal structure of 2 (monoclinic, P2 1 /c) the molecules are linked to chains by N-H···O hydrogen bonds along the b axis.
Five novel organotin complexes with the anthraquinone dyes alizarin (1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone) and purpurin (1,2,4trihydroxyanthraquinone) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy ( 1 H, 13 C and 119 Sn). The crystal and molecular structures of four complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals: [Bu 2 Sn(aliz)(H 2 O)] · C 2 H 5 OH (A1 · EtOH), [Bu 2 Sn(aliz)(dmso)] 2 (A3), [(Bu 2 Sn) 3 O(Hpurp) 2 ] (P1) and [Bu 2 Sn(Hpurp)(dmso)] 2 (P2), where H 2 aliz ϭ alizarin and H 3 purp ϭ purpurin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
