1-[4-({4-[(E)-(2-Hy­droxy­naphthalen-1-yl)methyl­idene­amino]­phen­yl}sulfan­yl)phen­yl]ethanone

The title Schiff base compound, C25H19NO2S, crystallizes in a statistically disordered structure comprising keto and enol tautomeric forms. In the enol form, the benzenoid arrangment is promoted by a strong intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond and adopts an E conformation about the imine bond. In the keto form there is an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, an extended network of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilizes columns parallel to the c axis, forming large voids (there are four cavities of 108 Å3 per unit cell) with highly disordered residual electron density. The SQUEEZE procedure in PLATON [Spek (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. D65, 148–155] was used to eliminate the contribution of this electron density from the intensity data, and the solvent-free model was employed for the final refinement. The contribution of this undetermined solvent was ignored in the calculation of the unit-cell characteristics.

Penta­carbon­yl(imidazolidine-2-thione-κS)tungsten(0)

In the title complex, [W(C3H6N2S)(CO)5], the W atom displays an octahedral coordination with five CO molecules and an imidazolidine-2-thione molecule. The W(CO)5 unit is coordinated by the cyclic thione ligand through a W—S dative bond. The W—S and C—S bond lengths are 2.599 (2) and 1.711 (9) Å, respectively. This last distance is significantly longer than that of free cyclic thioureas. The geometry of the title compound suggests sp 3-hybridization of the S atom caused by the greatly polarized linkage W—S—C bond angle, which is close to tetrahedral [109.50 (3)°]. In the crystal packing, N—H⋯O and N—H⋯S hydrogen-bonding interactions stabilize the structure and build up chains parallel to [101].

Dimeric (2-cyano-phenolato-κO){2,2'-[ethyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato-κO,N,N',O'}manganese(III) monohydrate.

The molecules of the title compound, [Mn(C7H4NO)(C16H14N2O2)]·H2O, form dimers in the solid state across a crystallographic inversion center. The bridging Mn2O2 group is built of phenoxy groups, and is asymmetric, with an Mn—O distances of 1.9002 (13) and 2.6236 (14) Å. A substantial cavity between the two Mn atoms [Mn⋯Mn = 3.5082 (4) Å] is produced by the formation of the dimer. In the crystal, an extended network of O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions stabilizes the structure.

Crystal structure of (E)-1-[4-({4-[(4-meth-oxy-benzyl-idene)amino]-phen-yl}sulfan-yl)phen-yl]ethan-1-one.

The title Schiff base compound, C22H19NO2S, crystallized with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. Both molecules have an E conformation about the C=N bond. The two molecules differ in the orientation of the aromatic rings with respect to each other. The outer 4-methoxybenzene ring is inclined to the central benzene ring and the outer 4-acetylbenzene ring by 1.80 (19) and 63.73 (19)°, respectively, in molecule A, and by 6.72 (18) and 68.53 (19)°, respectively, in molecule B. The two outer benzene rings are inclined to one another by 63.77 (18) and 63.19 (18)° in molecules A and B, respectively. In the crystal, the individual molecules stack in columns along [010], and are linked by a number of C—H⋯π interactions, forming slabs lying parallel to (001).

Contribution of microchemical surface analysis of archaeological artefacts

Museum CIRTA of the town of Constantine has a collection of more than 35000 coins and statuettes going back to Numide, Roman, Republican, Vandal and Byzantine times and is struck in the name of the cities, of the kingdoms and the empires. Surface analysis of these coins gives information about the chemical composition and leads to recommendations for restoration and preservations. This work is a contribution of microchemical surface study of coin with the effigy of the Numide King Massinissa (Constantine between 3rd and 2nd century before Jesus Christ). The photographic and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM + EDS) and diffraction of X–ray (DRX) was used. The optic microscopy (OMP) and SEM pictures of coins showed heterogeneous surface. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry identified three basic metals copper (46.06%), antimony (17.74%) and lead (12.06%), (Weight Percentage). The DRX identifies stages (copper and lead) and their crystalline oxides Bindheimite (Pb2Sb2O7) and Bystromite (MgSb2O6) on the coin’s surface.
