In this paper, we analyzed the homologous series of 10 allylamine adducts with -alcohols from methanol to decanol. These are the first adduct structures containing aliphatic -alcohols and an aliphatic amine as co-formers. While all of the ingredients are liquids under ambient conditions, the phases were synthesized with the use of the crystallization technique assisted by IR laser-focused radiation at atmospheric pressure.

Both experimental studies and quantum chemical calculations indicate a staggered orientation of the CCl3 group relative to the SCN group. This conclusion is supported by the similarity of the C-SCN bond length to that of the anti-structure of CH2 ClSCN (Berrueta Martínez et al.

The dilution of tert-butylamine (tBA) with water and subsequent cooling leads to a large series of different crystalline hydrates by an in situ IR laser melting-zone procedure. The crystal structures were determined for tBA⋅n H2 O, with n=0, 1/4, 1, 7 1/4, 7 3/4, 9 3/4, 11, and 17. For the two lower hydrates (n= 1/4, 1), one- and two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks are formed, respectively.

For the preparation of the pseudo-geminally-bridged system 9, the diacetylene 3 was chain-extended to the diol 16, which after conversion to the pseudo-geminal dibromide 17 was ring-closed by treatment with LiHMDS/HMPA to the [2.

The geometric details of ethyl acetate as a solvate are analyzed statistically using the Cambridge Structural Database, uncovering a high degree of hidden disorder.
