(Benzyl isocyanide-κC (1))chlorido(2-chloro-3-dimethyl-amino-1-phenyl-prop-1-en-1-yl-κ(2) C (1),N)palladium(II).

In the title compound, [Pd(C11H13ClN)Cl(C8H7N)], which crystallized in the chiral space group P212121, the Pd(II) atom is coordinated by two C atoms, a Csp(2) atom of the 2-chloro-3-dimethyl-amino-1-phenyl-prop-1-en-1-yl ligand and a Csp atom from the benzyl isocyanide ligand, as well as an N atom of the ligand and a Cl atom, in a square-planar geometry. In the complex, there is a short C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond and a C-H⋯π inter-action. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a-axis direction.

μ-Azido-κ(2) N (1):N (1)-μ-chlorido-bis-[(2-chloro-3-dimethyl-amino-1-phenyl-prop-1-en-1-yl-κ(2) C (1),N)palladium(II)] chloro-form monosolvate.

In the binuclear title complex, [Pd2(C11H13ClN)2Cl(N3)]·CHCl3, each Pd(II) atom has a slightly distorted square-planar geometry being coordinated by a C and an N atom of the 2-chloro-3-dimethyl-amino-1-phenyl-propyl ligand, a bridging Cl atom and an N atom of a bridging end-on azide group. There is a short intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl contact in the complex mol-ecule. In the crystal, the chloro-form solvent mol-ecule is linked to the complex via a C-H⋯π inter-action.

Potassium morpholine-4-carbodithio-ate monohydrate.

In the ionic title compound, K(+)·C(5)H(8)NOS(2) (-)·H(2)O, the morpholine ring of the morpholine-4-carbodithio-ate anion has a chair conformation. The potassium cation is coordinated by four S and four O atoms in a bipyramidal reversed geometry. In the crystal, the three components are linked, generating infinite two-dimensional networks that lie parallel to the bc plane.

Sodium piperidine-1-carbodithio-ate dihydrate.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, Na(+)·C(6)H(10)NS(2) (-)·2H(2)O, is composed of a sodium cation, a piperidine-dithio-carbamate anion which exhibits positional disorder, and two lattice water mol-ecules. The atoms of the piperidine ring are divided over two sites with occupancy factors of 0.554 (6) and 0.

Ammonium piperidine-1-carbodithio-ate.

The title compound, NH(4) (+)·C(6)H(10)NS(2) (-), is composed of an ammonium cation and a piperidine-1-carbodithio-ate anion which exhibits positional disorder. The atoms of the ring have a structural disorder and they are divided into two sites, with occupancy factors of 0.584 and 0.

Activation of carbon dioxide by bicyclic amidines.

Activation of the carbon dioxide molecule was achieved using bicyclic amidines (DBU, PMDBD, and DBN). The solution reaction of CO(2) with amidines yielded the corresponding zwitterionic complexes through the formation of a N-CO(2) bond. (13)C NMR data confirmed the carbamic nature of the carbamic zwitterions, DBU-CO(2) and PMDBD-CO(2).
