2-(4-Methylsulfanylphenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium bromide

In the cation of the title compound, C14H13N2S+center dot Br-, the essentially planar benzimidazole system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0082 angstrom) is substituted with a 4-methylsulfanylphenyl ring. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole system and the 4-methylsulfanylphenyl ring is 2.133 (2)degrees. The crystal structure is characterized by strong and highly directional intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot Br hydrogen bonds involving the bromide ion. Moreover, C-H center dot center dot center dot S interactions result in chains of molecules along the c axis. The supramolecular assembly is further stabilized by pi-pi stacking interactions between the benzimidazole system and 4-methylsulfanylphenyl rings centroid-centroid distance = 3.477 (4) angstrom].

3,12-dinitro-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin- an example of a twisted intramolecular charge-transfer system

he porphyrin ring in the title compound, 10,19-dinitro-2,7,12,17-tetraphenyl-21,22,23,24-tetraazapenta-cyclo[16.2.1.1(3,6).1(8,11).1(13,16)]tetracosa-1,3,5,7,9,11(23),-12,14,16,18(21),19-undecaene 0.5-dichloromethane solvate, C44H28N6O4.0.5CH2Cl2, adopts a saddle conformation with neighbouring pyrrole rings tilted with respect to each other. The two nitro groups are situated on alternate pyrrole rings and have their planes angled away from those of the pyrrole rings, thereby indicating that interaction between the porphyrin and nitro groups is slight.

3-Dimensional laminar boundary-layer in a constant-pressure diverging

larity solution is obtained for laminar 3D constant pressure flow with lateral streamline divergence. The similarity solution is shown to reduce to a Blasius solution for 2D flow over a flat plate. Measurements of velocity profiles are made to compare the similarity solution and are found to be in excellent agreement with the prediction
