New Polymorph Form of Dexamethasone Acetate.

A new monohydrated polymorph of dexamethasone acetate was crystallized and its crystal structure characterized. The different analytical techniques used for describing its structural and vibrational properties were: single crystal and polycrystal X-ray diffraction, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out through self-arrangement cemented by H-bonds observed in this new polymorph.

cis-Bis{(E)-2-[(2-fluoro-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolato-κ(2) N,O}bis-(pyridine-κN)nickel(II).

The structure of the title compound, [Ni(C13H9FNO)2(C5H5N)2], consists of an Ni(II) atom on a crystallographic center of symmetry, octa-hedrally bonded through both the N and O atoms to two 2-[(2-fluoro-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenolate (L) ligands, as well as two pyridine ligands. The F atoms of L are disordered over two positions related by a 180° rotation of the fluoro-phenyl group around its external C-N bond.

Synthesis, characterization and biological activities of mononuclear Co(III) complexes as potential bioreductively activated prodrugs.

Aiming to investigate the use of tridentate ligands to develop new bireductively activated prodrugs, two N(2)O-donor ligands (HL1: [(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-(imidazol-2-yl)ethyl)]amine; and HL2: [(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-(pyridil-2-yl)ethyl]amine) were used to synthesize new Co(III) complexes, 1 and 2. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography, mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, IR, UV-visible and (1)H NMR spectroscopies. Electrochemical data in methanol revealed that the Co(III)-->Co(II) reduction of 1 (-0.

Potassium trifluoro-[(Z)-3-(oxan-2-yl-oxy)prop-1-en-1-yl]borate monohydrate.

The title compound, K(+)·C(8)H(13)BF(3)O(2) (-)·H(2)O, which was obtained from the reaction of a modified form of Z-vinylic telluride via a transmetalation reaction with n-BuLi, crystallizes as K(+) and C(8)H(13)BF(3)O(2) (-) ions along with a water mol-ecule. The K(+) cation is surrounded by four anions, making close contacts with six F atoms at 2.659 (3)-2.

cis-Bis{1-[(4-nitro-phen-yl)diazen-yl]-2-naphtholato}dipyridine-nickel(II).

In the title compound, [Ni(C(16)H(10)N(3)O(3))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Ni(II) cation is in a distorted octa-hedral NiN(4)O(2) coordination by two independent bidentate 1-[(4-nitro-phen-yl)diazen-yl]-2-naph-thol-ate anions and two pyridine ligands. C-H⋯O inter-actions between aromatic rings and the O atoms of the nitro substituents build up a two-dimensional supra-molecular arrangement parallel to (100).

Potassium trifluoro-[(Z)-3-methoxy-prop-1-en-yl]borate.

In the title salt, K(+)·C(4)H(7)BF(3)O(-), the K atom is surrounded by six anions making close contacts through seven F [K⋯F = 2.779 (1)-3.048 (1) Å] and two O [K⋯O = 2.

1,5-Bis(2-formyl-phen-oxy)-3-oxapenta-ne.

In the title mol-ecule, C(18)H(18)O(5), the two aromatic rings are connected by a flexible 3-oxapentane chain. The mol-ecule has a crystallographic twofold rotation axis (C(2)) passing through the central O atom. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed in the solid state.
