(1R,2R)-1,2-Diphenyl-1,2-bis-(1H-tetra-zol-1-yl)ethane
Abstract:
The title compound, C(16)H(14)N(8), is a new chiral ligand designed for applications in supra-molecular chemistry and Fe(2+) spin-crossover complexes. The crystal structure shows a herring-bone arrangement of the mol-ecules, which are mutually linked via inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions mainly donated by the alkyl and tetra-zole H atoms.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
Disubstituted Cyclohexanes: cis-trans Isomerism
In cyclohexane, the substituents can occupy different positions generating distinct isomers.

Isomerism in Alkenes
An isomer is called cis-2-butene when the methyl groups are on the same side of the double bond, and the other stereoisomer, in which methyl groups are on the opposite side of the double bond, is called trans-2-butene. The cis and trans stereoisomers are not...
Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
