These compounds are potential congeners of insecticide toxaphene. The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of 1-9 have been assigned by means of 1 H, 1 H DQF COSY (double-quantum filtered correlation spectroscopy), 1 H, 1 H ROESY (rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy), PFG 1 H, 13 C HMQC (pulsed field gradient heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence), 1 H, 13 C HMBC (heteronuclear multiple bond correlation) experiments, and computer aided 1 H NMR spectral analysis. In the case of 2, the structure has been determined by X-ray methods. Full geometry optimizations have been performed at the ab initio HF/6-31G* level for a comparison with the conformational and structural properties obtained from the NMR-and X-ray experiments. The optimized geometries are in excellent agreement with the experimental structures. In addition, rotation barriers of compounds 7 and 9 have been characterized with the semiempirical AM1 method. The gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) method have been employed to calculate 13 C chemical shifts of 1-9 using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G* level and the HF/6-31G* optimized structures as geometry input. A comparison of the calculated and experimental data yielded a regression equation, which with added indicator variable (the number of chlorine atoms attached to each carbon) is capable of the accurate prediction of carbon chemical shifts for these compounds.

The clusters were analyzed by optical and infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy together with computational methods. We suggest a structural motif where the copper core of the Cu(n)BTA(m) clusters is protected by BTA-Cu(i)-BTA units.

The binding properties were investigated both in solution and in the solid state by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. It was found that the resorcinarene bis-thiacrowns were able to complex silver cations with remarkable affinity forming readily 1:2 host-guest complexes in solution. The solid state structures also revealed that the bis-thiacrowns form silver complexes in an unanticipated endo- and exo-cavity fashion within the same host molecule. Both the solution and solid state studies indicated the sulfur atoms to be the major contributing donor atoms in forming the binding interactions with silver cations.

In the solid state, the resorcinarene podand 1 forms an intramolecular self-inclusion complex with the pendant p-toluene group of a podand arm, whereas the resorcinarenep odand 2 does not show self-inclusion.

Crystal Structure Data and Details Data were recorded on a Nonius Kappa CCD diffractometer with Apex II detector using graphite monochromatized CuK α [λ(CuK α) = 1.54178 Å] radiation at a temperature of 173.0 K. The data were processed with Denzo-SMN v0.97.638. 2 The structures were solved by direct methods (SHELXS-97 3) and refinements based on F 2 were made by full-matrix least-squares techniques (SHELXL-97 4). The hydrogen atoms were calculated to their idealized positions with isotropic temperature factors (1.2 or 1.5 times the C temperature factor) and refined as riding atoms. Hydroxyl hydrogens were located from the difference Fourier map when possible and the bond distances were fixed (DFIX 0.84) when necessary. Absorption correction 5 was made to all structures.

Two different solvate crystal forms of the compound were identified and compared to the structures of an analogous oligoamide and related disulfonamides. The disulfonamide is unfolded in one of the solvates, whereas in the other one, a loosely folded conformer stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond is found. Density functional calculations indicated that the loosely folded conformer is slightly more stable than its unfolded isomer. The calculations also identified a third, more tightly folded and more extensively hydrogen bonded conformer that is even lower in energy.

The degree of alkylation was affected by the reactivity of the alkylating halide used. NMR spectroscopy proved to be an ideal tool for analyzing the complex reaction mixtures and the isolated products based on the symmetry and degree of alkylation of the resorcinarene derivatives. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies furthermore showed diversity in the self‐assembly of the various O‐alkylation products that was greatly affected by the degree of alkylation, as well as the nature of the alkyne moiety.

One polymorphic form and seven solvates were found for N 1 ,N 3-bis(2-benzamidophenyl)benzene-1,3dicarboxamide (the benzene variant), and two polymorphic forms and six solvates for N 2 ,N 6-bis(2benzamidophenyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (the pyridine variant). Three crystal structures of the benzene variant and six structures of the pyridine variant were solved using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures showed that the different modes of intramolecular hydrogen bonding strongly affect the conformation and folding of the molecules, which is most evidently seen with the strongly folded helical structure of the pyridine variant. NOESY experiments suggest that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding is stable enough to retain a folded or partially folded conformation even in solution. 65 CREATED USING THE RSC ARTICLE TEMPLATE (VER. 3.0)-SEE WWW.RSC.ORG/ELECTRONICFILES FOR DETAILS

One of the structures obtained had very interesting halogen-halogen interaction with the same geometry as is generally found for compounds used in nonlinear optical studies.
