Abstract:
In the centrosymmetric title compound (dtne), C(14)H(32)N(6), two 1,4,7-triaza-cyclo-nonane (tacn, or 1,4,7-triazonane) moieties are linked together each at an amino position by a single ethyl-ene spacer. The mol-ecular packing is supported by pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which form R(2) (2)(22) ring motifs and link the mol-ecules into infinite chains running parallel to the a axis.

Conformations of Ethane and Propane
Staggered conformation is a low energy and more stable conformation with the C-H bonds on the front carbon placed at 60°dihedral angles relative to the C-H bonds on the back carbon, leading to a reduced torsional strain. In staggered ethane, the...

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...
