Oxidation chemistry of C–H bond by mononuclear iron complexes derived from tridentate ligands containing phenolato function

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 1-[(E)-2-(5-chloro-2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)hydrazin-1-yl-idene]naphthalen-2(1H)-one

The title compound, C16H11ClN2O2, was obtained by diazo-tization of 2-amino-4-chloro-phenol followed by a coupling reaction with β-naphthol. There are two mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure features only one type of inter-molecular inter-action, that is strong hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxyl group. The naphthol and phenol fragments attached to the C=N-N- moiety exhibit an s-trans conformation. In addition, those fragments are almost coplanar, subtending a dihedral angle of 13.11 (2)° in mol-ecule A and 10.35 (2)° in mol-ecule B. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (32.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (23.1%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (15.2%), O⋯H/H⋯O (12.8%) and C⋯C (9%) contacts.

Metal complex catalysis in the chemistry of lower diamondoids

The review presents the first survey of published data on the use of compounds, complexes and nanoparticles of transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, V, Mo, Cu, Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Os, Au, Re and Th) in the catalytic transformations of lower diamondoids — adamantane, diamantane and their derivatives. Catalytic halogenation, oxidation, alkylation and cross-coupling reactions are considered, and the formation pathways of C–N, C–S and C–Se bonds in the series of adamantanoids are discussed. Reaction conditions, appropriate catalytic systems and the structures of products are presented.
