Enhanced Method for the Synthesis and Comprehensive Characterization of 1-(4-Phenylquinolin-2-yl)propan-1-one.

We present an enhanced method for synthesizing a novel compound, 1-(4-phenylquinolin-2-yl)propan-1-one (), through the solvent-free Friedländer quinoline synthesis using poly(phosphoric acid) as an assisting agent. The crystal structure of compound is analyzed using FT-IR, and the chemical shifts of its H- and C NMR spectra are measured and calculated using B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), CAM-B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), and M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) basis sets in the gas phase. Additionally, the optimized geometry of quinoline is compared with experimental X-ray diffraction values.

Comprehensive analysis of crystal structure, spectroscopic properties, quantum chemical insights, and molecular docking studies of two pyrazolopyridine compounds: potential anticancer agents.

In this study, two pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridine derivatives (4a and 4b) were grown using a slow evaporation solution growth technique and characterized by FT-IR, HRMS, H/C NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The 4a and 4b structures crystallized in monoclinic and triclinic systems with space groups 2/ and 1̄, respectively. Theoretical calculations were performed at the DFT/B3LYP level for the optimized geometries.

The Methylene Spacer Matters: The Structural and Luminescent Effects of Positional Isomerism of n-Methylpyridyltriazole Carboxylate Semi-Rigid Ligands in the Structure of Zn(II) Based Coordination Polymers.

Two Zn(II) coordination polymers (CPs) based on n-methylpyridyltriazole carboxylate semi-rigid organic ligands (n-MPTC), with = () and (), have been prepared at the water n-butanol interphase by reacting Zn(NO)·4HO with Na and Na. This allows us to systematically investigate the influence of the isomeric positional effect on their structures. The organic ligands were obtained by saponification from their respective ester precursors ethyl-5-methyl-1-(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate () and ethyl-5-methyl-1-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (), resulting in their corresponding sodium salt forms, 3-MPTC, and 4-MPTC.

Piperonal chalcone derivative incorporating the pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridine moiety; crystal structure, spectroscopic characterization and quantum chemical investigations.

A single crystal of a piperonal chalcone derivative was obtained, fully characterized, and crystallized by a slow evaporation technique. The synthesized compound was characterized by UV-Visible, FT-IR, HRMS, H NMR, and C NMR spectroscopic studies and X-ray crystallography, revealing that the crystal belongs to a triclinic crystal system with a 1̄ space group, = 2. In the present work, we focus on molecular modeling studies such as Hirshfeld surface analysis, energy framework calculations, frontier molecular orbital analysis, natural bond orbital analysis, and NLO properties of a π-conjugate system combining the chalcone and the pyrazole[3,4-]pyridine scaffolds to describe the in-depth structural analysis thereof.
