The nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of meso-3,6,6,9-tetramethyl-4,8-diazaundecane-2,10-dione dioxime (meso-HM-PAO) have an intramolecular hydrogen bond between cis oxime groups. [Cu(meso-HM-PAO-H)(H₂O)](NCS) crystallizes in space group P2₁/n with a = 7.692(1), b = 12.028(2), c=20.235(3) Å, β=93.03(1)°, Z = 4 and Dc=1.46 g/cm³. The final R value for this complex was 0.034 for 2223 observed reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ (I). The Cu(II) coordination is a distorted square pyramid. The Cu(II) ion is five-coorinated with the diazadioxime N atoms equatorial and water O atom axial. The Cu(II) is 0.12 Å from the equatorial plane towards the hydrate. The equatorial Cu-N distances span a narrow range, 1.953(3)-1.999(3) Å. The axial Cu-O distance is 2.314(3) Å. The thiocyanate group is almost linear. The intramolecular O ?O hydrogen bond length is 2.479(4) Å.

The final R value for the complex was 0.053 for 4794 observed reflections with F ≥ 4σ (F). The coordination about Ni(II) is a slightly distorted square plane. The Ni(II) ion is 0.0673(7) Å from the best plane of the four donor nitrogen atoms away from the perchlorate ion. The Ni-N distances span a narrow range 1.863(4)-1.927(4) Å. There are two molecules per asymmetrical unit resulting in eight molecules being packed in an unit cell; they are bound together by van der Waals interactions. The O-H ?O bonds of these complexes give characteristic infrared absorptions as well as chemical shift of the ¹H NMR signal (Ni complex).

STRUCTURAL,MAGNETOCHEMICAL, SPECTRAL AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF TRANS-TETRAKIS(1,2-DIAZOLE) BISBROMOMANGANESE(II)

Abstract

The crystal structure of trans-tetrakis(1,2-diazole)bisbromomanganese(II) was solved by direct methods using single-crystal X-ray (Mo-Kα) diffractometer data and refined to R = 0.054 for 1270 unique reflections with I > 2Δ(I). The compound crystallized from water as almost colourless, monoclinic prisms in space group C2/c (No. 15) with unit cell dimensions a = 14.208(2), b = 9.454(1), c = 15.015(3)Å,β = 118.68(1)°, Z = 4. The structure is formed from [(C₃H₄N₂)₄(Br)₂Mn] molecular units held together through stacking of the 1.2-diazole rings approximately in the b-direction and weak van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. The coordination sphere around the Mn²⁺ ion is weakly distorted octahedral with two pairs of trans-positioned 1,2-diazole molecules at distances Mn-N(1) = 2.246(7) and Mn-N(3) = 2.229(6) Å, respectively, in the basal plane and the Br^? ions occupying the apical positions at a distance Mn-Br(1) = 2.729(1)Å. The angles Br(1)-Mn-N(1), Br(1)-Mn-N(3) and N(1)-Mn-N(3) are 91.2(1). 89.6(1) and 87.8(2)°. respectively. The 1,2-diazole rings are practically planar, but slightly tilted (N(1) and N(3) containing rings are at angles of 89.9(3) and 86.4(3)° with respect to the basal coordination plane). The molecular units form columns in the b-direction. The molar magnetic susceptibilities, corrected for diamagnetism by Pascals constants, at 93–303 K show the compound to be of high-spin complex type with a Curie-Weiss equation X'_M = 4.30/(T-3.3) and the reflectance spectrum in accordance with this shows only a very weak shoulder at 23500 cm^?1 corresponding to the ⁶A_1g ± ⁴T_2g transition for the Mn²⁺ ion. The infrared spectrum shows an Mn-Br band at 715 and Mn-N bands at 680, 600 and 580 cm^?1. The thermogravimetric (TG) curve shows the complex to release the 1,2-diazole molecules in two steps in accordance with the structure.

Two cadmium(II) coordination polymers, [Cd(2-mBIM)(NCS)(SCN)] _n (1) and [Cd₂(2-mBIM)₂(NO₃)₂(C₄H₄O₄)(H₂O)₅] _n (2) (2-mBIM = bis(2-methylimidazo-1-yl)methane, C₄H₄O₄= succinate), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction.

Each Cd(II) is octahedrally coordinated and connected with two adjacent Cd(II)'s by double end-to-end thiocyanate bridges, resulting in the formation of 1-D zigzag chains, linked to each other via bridging 2-mBIM giving a 2-D supramolecular framework. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with a = 12.6543(6) Å, b = 7.7128(4) Å, c = 17.3089(9) Å, β = 109.3980(10)°, V = 1593.45(14) ų, and Z = 2. Cd(II) is coordinated with oxygen and nitrogens from two independent 2-mBIM, in a cis-configuration to form a 1-D helical structure. A 3-D supramolecular network comprised of succinate anion bridged 1-D helical chains, and weak hydrogen bonds between dimer waters gave 2-D layers.

Abstract

[Ni(L^?1)(HL)(H₂O)₂].ClO₄ with a Schiff base ligand L (HL = 3-p-tolylimino-2-butanone oxime) was prepared and structurally characterized by IR, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray diffraction methods. The nickel atom has distorted octahedral coordination consisting of four nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. The equatorial plane is formed by two oxime nitrogen atoms and two imine nitrogen atoms of two Schiff base ligand (L^?1 and HL) with Ni‐ N bond distances between 2.01(1) and 2.11(1)Å. Water oxygen atoms occupy axial positions with Ni‐ O bond distances of 2.06(1) and 2.15(1) Å. The oxime groups in the Schiff base ligands are coordinated to Ni atom through their nitrogen atoms. One asymmetric intramolecular hydrogen bridge between the two oxime groups is found in the title complex.     

Four New Thioantimonates(III) with the General Formula [TM(tren)]Sb4S7 (TM = Mn,Fe, Co,Zn) with the Transition Metal as Part of a Thioantimonate(III) Network Synthesized under Solvothermal Conditions and Tuning of the Optical Band Gap by the Transition Metal Cation

Four new thioantimonate(III) compounds with the general formula [TM(tren)]Sb₄S₇, TM = Mn 1 , Fe 2 , Co 3 and Zn 4 , were synthesized under solvothermal conditions by reacting elemental TM, Sb and S in an aqueous solution of tren (tren = tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine). All compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with four formula units in the unit cell. Single crystal X‐ray analyses of 1 [a = 8.008(2), b = 10.626(2), c = 25.991(5) Å, β = 90.71(3)°, V = 2211.4(8) ų], 2 [a = 8.0030(2), b = 10.5619(2), c = 25.955(5) Å, β = 90.809(3)°, V = 2193.69(8) ų], 3 [a = 7.962(2), b = 10.541(2), c = 25.897(5) Å, β = 90.90(3)°, V = 2173.0(8) ų] and 4 [a = 7.978(2), b = 10.625(2), c = 25.901(5) Å, β = 90.75(3)°, V = 2195.2(8) ų] reveal that the compounds are isostructural. The [Sb₄S₇]^2‐ anions are composed of three SbS₃ trigonal pyramids and one SbS₄ unit as primary building units (PBU). The PBUs share common edges and corners to form semicubes (Sb₃S₄) which may be regarded as secondary building units (SBU). The SBUs and SbS₃ pyramids are joined in an alternating fashion yielding the equation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif[Sb₄S₇^‐] anionic chain which is directed along [100]. Weaker Sb‐S bonding interactions between neighbored chains lead to the formation of layers within the (001) plane which contain pockets that are occupied by the cations. The TM²⁺ ions are in a trigonal bipyramidal environment of four N atoms of the tren ligand and one S atom of the thioantimonate(III) anion. The optical band gaps depend on the TM²⁺ ion and amount to 3.11 eV for 1 , 2.04 eV for 2 , 2.45 eV for 3 , and 2.60 eV for 4 .

Two new cadmium(II) complexes with phenylthiourea (PTU), namely Cd(PTU)₄Cl₂ (1) and [Cd₂(NCS)₂(μ₂-SCN)₂(PTU)₂(μ₂-PTU)₂] _n (2), have been prepared and characterized structurally by X-ray diffaction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 27.057(13), b = 8.108(3), c = 16.751(8) Å, β = 114.46°, V = 3345(3) ų, Z = 4. Complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with a = 9.336(3), b = 14.686(5), c = 16.911(5) Å, α = 71.36(2), β = 84.31(2), γ = 72.470(10)°, V = 2095.0(12) ų Z = 4. The structural analysis shows that each metal atom in both the mononuclear complex 1 and polynuclear complex 2 is octahedrally coordinated by four sulfur atoms and two chloro ligands or two nitrogen atoms from the thiocyanate groups, respectively. The PTU ligand can serve as either a monodentate ligand or a μ₂-bridging ligand upon coordination to a metal atom.

Complex ( 1 ), the magnetic data was fitted by the Bleaney‐Bowers equation (1). A very good fit was derived with J = 23.96, Θ = ?1.5 (g = 1.97). Complex ( 1 ) shows the ferromagnetism. Complexes ( 2 ), ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) of have the it is the typical paramagnetic behavior of unpaired electrons. Under a low temperature around 25 K, complexes ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) show weak ferromagnetic behavior. They are the cause of hydrogen bonds.     

Synthesis,crystal structures and fluorescence of cadmium(II) coordination polymers with derivatives of pyrazine-1,4-dioxide and thiocyanate as mixed-bridging ligands

Two Cd(II) coordination polymers have been synthesized with derivatives of pyrazine-1,4-dioxide and thiocyanate anion as bridging ligands and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1, [Cd(μ_1,3-SCN^?)₂(μ_1,6-L1)] _n (L1?=?2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide), belongs to the triclinic, space group P 1 with a?=?5.7627(18)?Å, b?=?7.182(2)?Å, c?=?7.509(2)?Å, α?=?74.042(3)°, β?=?84.766(4)°, γ?=?88.162(4)°; complex 2, [Cd₂(μ_1,3-SCN^?)₄(μ₄-L2)] _n (L2?=?2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide), crystallizes in a monoclinic system with space group C2/m with a?=?10.194(4)?Å, b?=?13.491(6)?Å, c?=?8.140(3)?Å, β?=?120.372(4)°. Complex 1 shows a two-dimensional sheet structure, and in a direction the Cd(II) ions were coordinated by μ_1,3-SCN^? forming the one-dimensional chain and the L1 bridging ligand made the chains connect in the c direction leading to formation of a two-dimensional sheet on the ac plane. For 2 the one-dimensional chains in the a axis were constructed by coordination of μ_1,3-SCN^? bridging ligands with the Cd(II) ions, and in b and c directions the chains were joined by L2 bridging ligands leading to a three-dimensional structure. In 2 L2 displays a μ₄-bridging coordination mode. Both complexes exhibit strong fluorescence emission.     

A Novel Trinuclear Nickel(II) Phenanthroline Suberato Complex: {Ni[Ni(phen)(H2O)4]2L4/2}L · 4H2O (H2L = suberic acid)

The Reaction of freshly precipitated NiCO₃ with phenanthroline and suberic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at room temperature gave the title complex consisting of polymeric {Ni[Ni(phen)(H₂O)₄]₂L_4/2}²⁺ cationic chains, suberate anions and hydrogen bonded H₂O molecules. The cationic chains are generated from bis‐monodentate suberato ligands bridging the trinuclear {Ni[Ni(phen)(H₂O)₄]₂}⁶⁺ groups, in which the central Ni atom is, via two μ‐H₂O molecules, coordinated to two monodentate cationic [Ni(phen)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ complex ligands at trans positions. The NiO₆ octahedral coordination about the central Ni atom is elongated tetragonally distorted with d(Ni—O) = 2.033—2.166Å and the NiN₂O₄ octahedra about the side Ni atoms are significantly distorted with d(Ni—N) = 2.089, 2.099Å, d(Ni—O) = 2.046—2.117Å. The polymeric cationic chains are assembled via π—π stacking interactions into open 2D layers, between which the suberate anions and crystal H₂O molecules are sandwiched. Crystal data: triclinic, P1¯ (no. 2), a = 11.397(2)Å, b = 11.975(2)Å, c = 12.500(2)Å, α = 107.75(1)°, β = 104.50(1)°, γ = 109.68(1)°, Z = 1, R = 0.0521, wR² = 0.1249 for 3892 out of 6198 reflections with F_o² > 2σ(F_o²).
