Reaction of the Zn, Cd, or Co nitrate salts with the deprotonated ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (L1O^–) in methanol produced the following complexes: [(L1OH)Zn(NO₃)₂] in two isomorphs, a = 40.983(8) Å, b = 9.571(2) Å, c = 15.667(8) Å, = 90, = 106.38(1), = 90, C2/c, and a = 13.027(3) Å, b = 14.781(4) Å, c = 16.107(3) Å, = 90, = 105.30(1), = 90, P2₁/n; [(L1OH)Cd(pz)(NO₃)₂] a = 14.7476(2) Å, b = 13.5411(2) Å, c = 16.7223(2) Å, = 90, = 110.3840(10), = 90, P2₁/c; and [(L1O)Co(pz)(NO₃)] a = 11.4240(2) Å, b = 13.4498(2) Å, c = 13.8056(2) Å, = 105.2080(10), = 105.8130(10), = 112.7470(10), P . The Zn adopts a pseudotetrahedral four-coordinate geometry where the potentially tridentate ligand is actually bidentate with a protonated and uncoordinated phenoxy arm. The Co complex is pseudooctahedral six-coordinate where the phenoxy arm is deprotonated and coordinated. Finally the Cd complex is seven-coordinate but the metal is not coordinated through the phenoxy group that is again protonated.

Reactions of [Mn2(μ-pyS)2(CO)6] with bidentate N-donor ligands: Crystal structure of [Mn(η1-pyS)(bipy)(CO)3] (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl, pySH = pyridine-2-thiol)

The dimeric complex [Mn₂(-pyS)₂(CO)₆] (1) reacted with 2 equivalents of 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), and ethylenediamine (en) to give the corresponding monomeric complexes [Mn(¹-pyS)(bipy)(CO)₃] (2), [Mn(¹-pyS)(phen)(CO)₃] (3), and [Mn( ¹-pyS)(en)(CO)₃] (4).

Both stilbazole derivatives have Z-geometry about the ethylene bridge which links the heterocyclic and aromatic rings. The molecular skeleton of 3a is slightly non-planar: the dihedral angles between the acrylonitrile linkage and the pyridine ring, and between this linkage and the p-hydroxyphenyl ring are 7.2(2) and 4.1(2), respectively. The molecular skeleton of 3b is less planar: the values of similar dihedral angles are 17.0(2) and 20.8(2), respectively. In the crystal of 3a, the molecules are packed in stacks along the a axis with head-to-head orientation. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds O=H s N and C=H s N link molecules into sheets parallel to (100) plane. In the crystals of 3b, the molecules have a head-to-tail orientation and intermolecular hydrogen bonds O=H s N link the molecules into infinite chains along [01-1] direction.     

Tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium cyano and triphenylcyanoborate complexes: Structures and a DFT study

The structures of [Rh(CN)(PPh₃)₃](EtOH) (1), [Rh(NCBPh₃)(PPh₃)₃] (2), and [Rh(CNBPh₃)(PPh₃)₃] (3) are reported together with a density functional theory (DFT) study of the model compounds [Rh(NCBH₃)(PH₃)₃] and [Rh(CNBH₃)(PH₃)₃]. Compound 1 crystallizes in space group Pc with a = 10.4798(15) Å, b = 12.5410(18) Å, c = 19.974(3) Å and = 112.215(6)°; compound 2 crystallizes in space group with a = 12.929(2) Å, b = 14.362(2) Å, c = 17.575(3) Å and = 92.544(3)°, = 90.214(3)°, = 113.831(3)°; compound 3 crystallizes in space group with a = 12.915(2), b = 14.296(2), c = 17.664(3) Å and = 92.469(3)°, = 90.088(3)°, = 113.768(3)°. All three complexes show slight tetrahedral distortion from ideal square planar geometry (largest for 1). Differences in the reactivity and stability of 2 and 3 are interpreted according to the results of a density functional theory study.     

Reaction of 2-methylnaphthalene with hexachlorocyclopentadiene and structural characterization of a new addition-substitution product

2-Methylnaphthalene undergoes Diels-Alder addition and substitution with hexachlorocyclopentadiene to give two products, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,13,13,14,14-dodecachloro-1,4,4a,4b,5,8,8a,12b-octahydro-10-methyl-1,4;5,8-dimethanotriphenylene 1 and 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,13,13,14,14-dodecachloro-1,4,4a,4b,5,8,8a,12b-octahydro-10-(1,2,3,4,5-pentachlorocyclopentadienyl)methyl-1,4;5,8-dimethanotriphenylene 2. The molecular structure of 2 has been characterized by X-ray crystallography: C₂₆H₉Cl₁₇, monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, with a = 15.316(3), b = 13.698(3), c = 16.116(3) Å, = 96.113(3)°, and Z = 4.
