Mononuclear palladium‐hydroxo complexes of the type [Pd(N–N)(C₆F₅)(OH)][(N–N) = 2,2′‐bipyridine (bipy), 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine (Me₂bipy), 1,10‐phenantroline (phen) or N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda) react with phenols ArOH in tetrahydrofuran giving the corresponding aryloxo complexes [Pd(N–N)(C₆F₅)(OAr)]. Elemental analyses and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H and ¹⁹F) methods have been used to characterize the new complexes. The X‐ray crystal structure of [Pd(tmeda)(C₆F₅)(OC₆H₄NO₂‐p)] has been determined. In the crystal packing the planes defined by two C₆H₄ rings show a parallel orientation. There are also intermolecular C–H···F and C‐H···O hydrogen bonds.

Poly­[[bis­(pyridine‐κN)copper(II)]‐μ3‐5‐hydroxy­isophthalato‐κ3O:O′:O′′]

In the title compound, [Cu(C₈H₄O₅)(C₅H₅N)₂]_n or [Cu(OH‐BDC)(py)₂]_n (where OH‐H₂BDC is 5‐hydroxy­isophthalic acid and py is pyridine), the Cu atoms are coordinated by two N atoms from the pyridine ligands and by three O atoms from hydroxy­isophthalate ligands in a highly distorted triangular bipyramidal environment, with Cu—O distances in the range 1.941 (4)–2.225 (5) Å and Cu—N distances of 2.014 (6) and 2.046 (6) Å. The [Cu(OH‐BDC)]_n two‐dimensional network is built up from interlocking 22‐, 15‐ and eight‐membered rings via sharing of Cu atoms and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Consolidation of the packing structure is achieved by edge‐ or point‐to‐face C—H⋯π interactions and offset or slipped π–π stacking interactions.     

Triaqua(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(nitrato‐κO)manganese(II) nitrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mn(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]NO₃, contains a monomeric [Mn(NO₃)(bpy)(H₂O)₃]⁺ cation (bpy is 2,2′‐bi­pyridine) and a nitrate anion. The Mn^II ion is coordinated by one chelating bpy [Mn—N 2.241 (3) and 2.259 (3) Å], three water mol­ecules [Mn—O 2.120 (3)–2.188 (3) Å] and a nitrate ligand [Mn—O 2.228 (2) Å] in a distorted octahedral geometry. There are O?H—O hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the ligated water mol­ecules and the ligated and unligated nitrate anions, resulting in double columns of stacked cations and anions.     

4‐Amino‐N‐isopropyl­benzamidinium chloride ethanol solvate

The title compound, C₁₀H₁₆N·Cl⁻·C₂H₆O, is an important intermediate in the convergent synthesis of amidine‐substituted polycyclic heterocycles, a class of compounds that shows significant anticancer activity. The molecule of (I) is not planar, having a dihedral angle of 25.00 (7)° between the aniline and amidine (–C—NH=C=NH₂) groups. The proton­ation of the amidine molecular fragment is accompanied by delocalized C—N bond distances of 1.320 (2) and 1.317 (2) Å. The cations and chloride anions are involved in a network of hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of infinite chains propagating along the b direction. The chains are further grouped within the ab plane, in such a way that the structure is segregated into layers dominated by hydro­phobic interactions involving N‐isopropyl residues and layers dominated by N—H⋯Cl [N⋯Cl = 3.275 (2)–3.596 (2) Å], O—H⋯Cl [O⋯Cl = 3.229 (3) Å] and N—H⋯O [N⋯O = 2.965 (3) Å] hydrogen bonds.     

Crystallographic identification of a series of manganese porphyrin complexes with nitrogenous bases

Studying the axial ligation behavior of metalloporphyrins with nitrogenous bases helps to better understand not only the biological function of heme‐based protein systems, but also the catalytic properties of porphyrin‐based reaction sites in other biomimetic synthetic support environments. Unlike iron porphyrin complexes, little is known about the axial ligation behavior of Mn porphyrins, particularly in the solid state with Mn in the +3 oxidation state. Here, we present the syntheses and crystal and molecular structures of three new high‐spin manganese(III) porphyrin complexes with the different amine‐based axial ligands imidazole (im), piperidine (pip), and 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), namely bis(imidazole)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrinato)manganese(III) chloride chloroform disolvate, [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)(C₃H₄N₂)₂]Cl·2CHCl₃ or [Mn(TPP)(im)₂]Cl·2CHCl₃ (TPP = 5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrin), (I), bis(piperidine)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrinato)manganese(III) chloride, [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)(C₅H₁₁N)₂]Cl or [Mn(TPP)(pip)₂]Cl, (II), and chlorido(1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphyrin)manganese(III)–1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane–toluene–water (4/4/4/1), [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)Cl(C₆H₁₂N₂)]·C₆H₁₂N₂·C₇H₈·0.25H₂O or [Mn(TPP)Cl(DABCO)]·(DABCO)·(toluene)·0.25H₂O, (IV). A fourth complex, chlorido(pyridine)(5,10,15,20‐tetraphenylporphryinato)manganese(III) pyridine disolvate, [Mn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄)Cl(C₅H₅N)]·2C₅H₅N or [Mn(TPP)Cl(py)]·2(py), (III), acquired using different crystallization methods from published data, is also reported and compared to the previous structures.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in bis[2,4,6‐triazaniumylcyclohexane‐1,3,5‐tris(olate)‐κ3O,O′,O′′]germanium(IV) tetrachloride hexahydrate

A first preliminary report on the crystal structure of a hydrated salt formulated as [Ge(taci)₂]Cl₄·13H₂O (taci is 1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol) appeared more than 20 years ago [Ghisletta (1994). PhD thesis, ETH Zürich. Switzerland]. At that time it was not possible to discriminate unambiguously between the positions of some of the chloride ions and water O atoms, and disorder was thus postulated. In a new determination, a conclusive scheme of hydrogen bonding proves to be a particularly appealing aspect of the structure. Single crystals of the title compound, C₁₂H₃₀GeN₆O₆⁴⁺·4Cl⁻·6H₂O or [Ge(taci)₂]₂Cl₈·12H₂O, were grown from an aqueous solution by slow evaporation of the solvent. The two [Ge(taci)₂]⁴⁺ cations exhibit a double‐adamantane‐type structure with exclusive O‐atom coordination and approximate D_3d symmetry. The taci ligands adopt a zwitterionic form with deprotonated hydroxy groups and protonated amino groups. Both cations are hydrogen bonded to six water molecules. The structure of the hydration shell of the two cations is, however, slightly different. The {[Ge(taci)₂]·6H₂O}⁴⁺ aggregates are interlinked in all three dimensions by further hydrogen bonds of the types N—H...Cl...H—N, N—H...O(H)₂...H—N, (Ge)O...H—O(H)...H—N, N—H...O(H)—H...Cl...H—N, (Ge)O...H—O—H...Cl...H—N, N—H...O(H)—H...Cl...H—(H)O...H—N, (Ge)O...H—O—H...Cl...H—(H)O...H—N and Ge(O)...H—O—H...Cl...H—O—H...O(Ge).     

Anion Controlled Supramolecular Self‐Assembly of Tetraprotonated Tris[2‐(benzylamino)ethyl]amine

The novel supramolecular assembly of composition [{(bz₃tren)H₄}⁴⁺ · (ReO₄)^— · 3(Cl)^—] resulted from the self‐organization of a mixture of tris[2‐(benzylamino)ethyl]amine (bz₃tren), HCl and NH₄ReO₄ at a molar ratio of 1:4.7:1 in methanol. The crystal architecture is characterized by stacks of repeating sandwich‐type building blocks that contain charge‐assisted N—H···O(Re) hydrogen bonds [N···O 2.81‐2.86Å] and weaker C—H···O(Re) interactions [C···O 3.11Å]. The stacks are further linked by N—H···Cl [N···Cl 3.03Å] and weaker C—H···Cl [C···Cl 3.47‐3.74Å] interactions into two‐dimensional layers bordered by the benzyl groups of the [(bz₃tren)H₄]⁴⁺ cations. Edge‐to‐face C—H···π interactions involving the aromatic rings occur within and between the layers. The protonation constants of bz₃tren in methanol were determined by potentiometric titration. The corresponding structures of the ligand in its different protonation states were calculated at the DFT‐level.     

Bis(adamantan‐1‐aminium) tetrachloridozincate(II) 18‐crown‐6 monohydrate clathrate

The assemblies are composed of one protonated adamantan‐1‐aminium cation and one crown ether molecule (1,4,7,10,13,16‐hexaoxacyclooctadecane) to give an overall [(C₁₀H₁₈N)(18‐crown‐6)]⁺ cation. The –NH₃⁺ group of the cation nests in the crown and links to the crown‐ether O atoms through N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The 18‐crown‐6 ring adopts a pseudo‐C_3v conformation. The second adamantan‐1‐aminium forms part of ribbons of adamantan‐1‐aminium–water–tetrachloridozincate units which are interconnected by O—H...Cl, N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds via three different continuous rings with R₅⁴(12), R₄³(10) and R₃³(8) motifs.     

Preparation and Electrochemistry Properties of a New Polyoxometalate‐Based Supramolecular Assembly

A polyoxometalate‐based supramolecular assembly with the formula (Hcpy)₆H₂[PMo₁₂O₄₀] ( 1 ) [cpy = 4‐(5‐chloropyridin‐2‐yl)pyridine] was prepared and characterized. Noncovalent intermolecular interactions including hydrogen bonds (N–H ··· O–Mo, N–H ··· H–N, and C–H ··· O–Mo), halogen (C–Cl ··· O–Mo), and face‐to‐face π packing coexist in crystal 1 , which serves the insolubility of 1 in aqueous solution. Compound 1 was used as a solid material to fabricate a bulk‐modified carbon paste electrode by direct mixing. Electrochemistry results indicated that 1 is possessed of electrocatalytic activities toward the reduction reactions of chlorate, hydrogen peroxide, and nitrite.     

Bis­[bis­(pyrimidin‐2‐yl‐κN)­amine](dicyan­amido‐κN1)(tri­fluoro­methanesulfonato‐κO)copper(II) ethanol hemisolvate forms a hydrogen‐bonded chain

In the crystal structure of [Cu(CF₃SO₃)(C₂N₃)(C₈H₇N₅)₂]·0.5C₂H₆O, the Cu^II atom adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, with the basal plane formed by two N atoms of one dipyrimidinyl­amine ligand, one N atom of the second pyrimidine ligand and a nitrile N atom of the dicyan­amide anion [Cu—N = 1.972 (2)–2.021 (2) Å]. The apical positions are occupied by an N atom of the second ligand [Cu—N = 2.208 (2) Å], and an O atom of the tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate anion [Cu—O = 2.747 (2) Å] at a semi‐coordination distance. Pairs of inversion‐related N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds of the so‐called Watson–Crick type, augmented by two C—H⋯N contacts, link adjacent complexes into an infinite one‐dimensional chain running in the [101] direction.     

Bis(μ‐3,5‐di‐tert‐butylcatecholato‐O1:O1,O2)bis[tris(pyridine‐N)cadmium(II)] dipyridine solvate

X‐ray diffraction shows that the title cadmium(II) complex, [Cd₂(C₁₄H₂₀O₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₆]·2C₅H₅N, has a dimeric structure in which two (py)₃Cd(3,5‐di‐tert‐butylcatecholate) units (py is pyridine) are connected by two bridging O atoms, the coordination of the Cd atoms being distorted octahedral. There are two symmetrically independent dimers in the crystal structure; one is in a general position and the other lies about an inversion centre. In both cases, the bridging Cd—O distances between the Cd–catecholate units [2.224 (2)–2.237 (2) Å] are shorter than the bridging Cd—O distances within the catecholate cycle [2.273 (2)–2.281 (2) Å]. The Cd—N_py distances are 2.354 (2)–2.471 (2) Å. Besides the main mol­ecules, the crystal also contains pyridine solvate mol­ecules.

Complex 1 contains a 1D linear chain paralleling to the c‐axis, whereas in complex 2 silver(I) atoms were bridged by the 1,6‐dah ligand into a zigzag chain, further giving a 1D ribbon by weak Ag ··· Ag interactions. Complex 3 consists of a dinuclear silver(I) [Ag₂(μ₂‐2‐ap)(2‐ap)(bnb)] moiety and a lattice water molecule, forming a 3D network via a number of hydrogen‐bonding interactions such as N–H ··· O, N–H ··· N and C–H ··· O hydrogen bond and other weak interactions such Ag ··· Ag, Ag ··· N, N ··· O as well as O ··· O interaction. Similar to 3 , the asymmetric unit of 4 consists of one dinuclear silver(I) [Ag₂(μ₂‐pyc)₂(2‐apy)₂] moiety and half lattice water molecule, further generating a tetranuclear silver(I) {[Ag₂(μ₂‐pyc)₂(2‐apy)₂]₂ · H₂O} moiety. These moieties construct a 3D supramolecular network structure of 4 through N–H ··· O, O–H ··· O and C–H ··· O hydrogen bonds as well as other weak interactions such as Ag ··· O and N ··· O interactions.     

Isomorphous rare‐earth bis[bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)phosphate] complexes and their self‐assembly into two‐dimensional frameworks by intramolecular hydrogen bonds

The crystal structures of rare‐earth diaryl‐ or dialkylphosphate derivatives are poorly explored.

Compounds (1)–(3) crystallize in the C 2/c space group. Their crystal structures are isomorphous. The molecule possesses C ₂ symmetry with a twofold crystallographic axis passing through the Ln and Cl atoms. The bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)phosphate ligands all display a κ¹O‐monodentate coordination mode. The coordination polyhedron for the metal atom [coordination number (CN) = 7] is a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. Each [Ln{O₂P(O‐2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃)₂}₂Cl(CH₃OH)₄] molecular unit exhibits two intramolecular O—H…O hydrogen bonds, forming six‐membered rings, and two intramolecular O—H…Cl interactions, forming four‐membered rings. Intermolecular O—H…O hydrogen bonds connect each unit via four noncoordinating methanol molecules with four other units, forming a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network. Crystals of bis[bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)phosphato‐κO ]tetrakis(methanol‐κO )(nitrato‐κ²O ,O ′)neodymium methanol disolvate, [Nd(C₂₄H₃₄O₄P)(NO₃)(CH₄O)₄]·2CH₃OH, (4), have been obtained in an analogous manner from NdCl₃(H₂O)₆. Compound (4) also crystalizes in the C 2/c space group. Its crystal structure is similar to those of (1)–(3). The κ²O ,O ′‐bidentate nitrate anion is disordered over a twofold axis, being located nearly on it. Half of the molecule is crystallographically unique (CN_Nd = 8). Unlike (1)–(3), complex (4) exhibits disorder of all three methanol molecules, one isopropyl group of the phosphate ligand and the NO₃⁻ ligand. The structure of (4) displays intra‐ and intermolecular O—H…O hydrogen bonds similar to those in (1)–(3). Compounds (1)–(4) represent the first reported mononuclear bis[bis(diaryl/dialkyl)phosphate] rare‐earth complexes.
