The structures of four compounds with building blocks containing these ligands are reported: In [BaCr₂(bipy)₂(1, 2‐dtox)₄(H₂O)₂] Barium ions and pairs of Cr(bipy)(1, 2‐dtox)₂ complexes form linear chains by the bisbidentate coordination of the dithiooxalate ligands towards Ba²⁺ and Cr³⁺.

The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P$\bar{1}$ (a = 9.196(3) Å, b = 9.822(3) Å, c = 12.113(3) Å, α = 66.243(3)°, β = 76.998(3)°, γ = 75.067(3)°, V = 958.4(5) ų, and Z = 2). The polyanions form a novel 3D supramolecular network with three kinds of channels by extensive hydrogen bonds. The title compound shows a UV photoluminescence with an emission maximum at 372 nm upon excitation at 248 nm, and the photoluminescence can be modified from UV to blue by means of a simple heat‐treatment process. The pentaborate could be a promising blue component for possible application in the white LED.     

Two Heteroleptic Zinc(II) Complexes: [Zn(phen)(C9H15O6)2] and [Zn2(phen)2(H2O)2(C10H16O4)2] · 3H2O

Reactions of a freshly prepared Zn(OH)_2‐2x(CO₃)x · yH₂O precipitate, phenanthroline with azelaic and sebacic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O afforded [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] ( 1 ) and [Zn₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂(C₁₀H₁₆O₄)₂] · 3H₂O ( 2 ), respectively. They were structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction methods. Compound 1 consists of complex molecules [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] in which the Zn atoms are tetrahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and two O atoms of different monodentate hydrogen azelaato groups. Intermolecular C(alkyl)‐H···π interactions and the intermolecular C(aryl)‐H···O and O‐H···O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the supramolecular assembly of the [Zn(phen)(C₉H₁₅O₄)₂] complexes. Compound 2 is built up from crystal H₂O molecules and the centrosymmetric binuclear [Zn₂(phen)₂(H₂O)₂(C₁₀H₁₆O₄)₂] complex, in which two [Zn(phen)(H₂O)]²⁺ moieties are bridged by two sebacato ligands. Through the intermolecular C(alkyl)‐H···O hydrogen bonds and π‐π stacking interactions, the binuclear complex molecules are assembled into layers, between which the lattice H₂O molecules are sandwiched.

Formation and Molecular Structure of an Ion Pair Iron (II) Compound Derived from 2,6‐Bis‐ [1‐(2,6‐dibromophenylimino) ‐ethyl] pyridine and 2‐Acetyl‐6‐[1‐(2, 6‐dibromophenylimino)‐ethyl] pyridine

Two novel tridentate ligands of 2,6‐bis‐[l‐(2,6‐dibromophenylimino) ethyl] pyridine (L₁) and2‐acetyl‐6‐[1‐(2,6‐dibromophenylimino) ethyl] pyridine (L2) have been synthesized. The iron(II) complex of L₁ and L₂ has been characterized with the crystal structure of [Fe(L₁)(L₂)]²⁺ [FeCl₄]² CH₂Cl₂ [monoclinic, P2₁ (#11), a = 1.0562(4), b = 2.0928(4), c = 1.2914(2) nm, β = 100.12°, V = 2.810(1) nm³ D_c = 1.879 g/cm³ and Z = 2].     

[Mn(H2O)2]4[HNC5H4(COO)]2[C6H2(COO)4]2·4H2O — Ein dreidimensionales Koordinationspolymer mit Gastwassermolekülen in kanalartigen Hohlräumen

[Mn(H₂O)₂]₄[HNC₅H₄(COO)]₂[C₆H₂(COO)₄]₂·4H₂O — A Three‐dimensional Coordination Polymer with Guest Water Molecules in Channel‐like Voids Single crystals of [Mn(H₂O)₂]₄[HNC₅H₄(COO)]₂[C₆H₂(COO)₄]₂·4H₂O have been prepared in aqueous solution at 55 °C. Space group P1¯ (no. 2), a = 999.7(2), b = 1314.4(2), c = 1645.8(2) pm, α = 101.096(8)°, β = 92.796(14)°, γ = 96.03(2)°, V = 2.1053(5) nm³, Z = 2. There are four unique Mn²⁺ which are coordinated in a distorted, octahedral manner by two water molecules, three oxygen atoms of the pyromellitate anions and one oxygen atom of isonicotinic acid (Mn—O 208.6(2) — 227.3(3) pm). The connection of Mn²⁺ and [C₆H₂(COO)₄]^4— yields a three‐dimensional coordination polymer with two different, channel‐like voids extending parallel to [110]. The first channel accomodates water molecules, the second channel is filled by isonicotinic acid molecules. Thermogravimetric analysis in air revealed that the loss of water of crystallisation occurs in two steps between 97 and 200 °C. The dehydrated sample was stable between 200 and 340 °C. Further decomposition yielded Mn₃O₄.
