Tetrakis­(pyridinium‐2‐thiol­ato)­zinc(II) dinitrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₅H₅NS)₄](NO₃)₂, consists of a [Zn(C₅H₅NS)₄]²⁺ (C₅H₅NS is pyridinium‐2‐thiol­ate) cation and two nitrate anions. The central Zn^II atom lies at a site with imposed symmetry and is surrounded by four S atoms [Zn—S = 2.3371 (5) Å] from four symmetrical pyridinium‐2‐thiol­ate ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are N—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the pyridinium‐2‐thiol­ate ligands and nitrate O atoms. In addition, π–π interactions via aromatic N‐containing ligands are discussed.     

Di­iodo­bis(1‐methyl‐1,3‐imidazolium‐2‐thiol­ato‐S)­mercury(II)

The reaction of 1‐methyl‐1,3‐imidazole‐2‐thione (meimtH) with mercury(II) iodide in methanol in a 2:1 molar ratio resulted in the formation of single crystals of the title compound, [HgI₂(C₄H₆N₂S)₂]. The Hg atom is coordinated by two I [2.7809 (9) and 2.7999 (8) Å] and two thione S atoms [2.520 (3) and 2.576 (3) Å] with irregular tetrahedral coordination geometry. The NH groups of the imidazole ring take part in intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bonds with I atoms [N?I 3.596 (8) and 3.611 (9) Å, respectively] joining mol­ecules into infinite chains parallel to the z axis.     

Dichloro­[(6R,7S,8S,14S)‐(–)‐sparteine‐κ2N,N′]mercury(II)

In the title compound, [HgCl₂(C₁₅H₂₆N₂)], the chiral alkaloid (6R,7S,8S,14S)‐(−)‐l ‐sparteine acts as a bident­ate ligand, with two Cl⁻ ligands occupying the remaining coordination sites, producing a distorted tetra­hedron. The N—Hg—N plane is twisted by 81.1 (2)° from the Cl—Hg—Cl plane. The mid‐point of the N⋯N line does not lie exactly on the Cl—Hg—Cl plane but is tilted towards one of the N atoms by 0.346 Å. Similarly, the mid‐point of the Cl⋯Cl line is tilted toward one of the Cl atoms by 0.163 Å. The packing structure shows that the complex is stabilized by two inter­atomic Cl⋯H contacts involving both Cl atoms and the methyl­ene or methine H atoms of the (−)‐sparteine ligand.     

Bis(7‐amino‐1,3‐benzothiazole‐κN3)dichlorozinc(II)

The title complex, [ZnCl₂(C₇H₆N₂S)₂], contains a Zn centre with a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere, involving two Cl⁻ ligands and two endocyclic N atoms from the thia­zole moiety [Zn—Cl = 2.2284 (7) and 2.2236 (7) Å, and Zn—N = 2.081 (2) and 2.041 (2) Å]. The interplanar angle between the two ligands is 79.32 (6)°. The amino groups participate in intermolecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, with N⋯Cl distances in the range 3.463 (2)–3.519 (2) Å.     

Di­chloro­bis(1‐propyl­imidazolidine‐2‐thione‐κS)­cobalt(II)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [CoCl₂(C₆H₁₂N₂S)₂], consists of monomer units of a Co^II atom coordinated to two 1‐propyl­imidazolidine‐2‐thione ligands and to two chloride ions. The heterocyclic thione ligand is monodentate and coordinated to the metal through the thione S atom. The environment around the Co^II atom is a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The Co—S bond lengths are 2.341 (2) and 2.330 (2) Å, and the Co—Cl bond lengths are 2.234 (2) and 2.238 (2) Å. The most important point of distortion is the S—Co—S bond angle of only 97.83 (8)°. Intramolecular classical hydrogen bonds are found between the chloride ions and the N—H groups. Additionally, intra‐ and intermolecular non‐classical hydrogen bonds are found.     

catena‐Poly­[[tetrakis(2‐allyl­tetrazole‐κN4)‐tetra‐μ‐chloro‐tricopper(II)]‐di‐μ‐chloro]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu₃Cl₆(C₄H₆N₄)₄]_n, there are three Cu atoms, six Cl atoms and four 2‐allyl­tetrazole ligands in the asymmetric unit. The polyhedron of one Cu atom adopts a flattened octahedral geometry, with two 2‐allyl­tetrazole ligands in the axial positions [Cu—N4 = 1.990 (2) and 1.991 (2) Å] and four Cl atoms in the equatorial positions [Cu—Cl = 2.4331 (9)–2.5426 (9) Å]. The polyhedra of the other two Cu atoms have a square‐pyramidal geometry, with three basal sites occupied by Cl atoms [Cu—Cl = 2.2487 (9)–2.3163 (8) and 2.2569 (9)–2.3034 (9) Å] and one basal site occupied by a 2‐allyl­tetrazole ligand [Cu—N4 = 2.028 (2) and 2.013 (2) Å]. A Cl atom lies in the apical position of either pyramid [Cu—Cl = 2.8360 (10) and 2.8046 (9) Å]. The possibility of including the tetrazole N3 atoms in the coordination sphere of the two Cu atoms is discussed. Neighbouring copper polyhedra share their edges with Cl atoms to form one‐dimensional polymeric chains running along the a axis.     

The layered structure of poly­[[di‐μ‐chloro‐bis­[chloro(2‐ethyl­tetrazole‐κN4)copper(II)]]‐di‐μ‐2‐ethyl­tetrazole‐κ2N1:N4]

In the polymeric title complex, [CuCl₂(C₃H₆N₄)₂]_n, there are two ligands in the asymmetric unit. The Cu atom adopts an elongated octahedral geometry, with two 2‐ethyl­tetrazole ligands [Cu—N = 2.0037 (16) and 2.0136 (16) Å] and two Cl atoms [Cu—Cl = 2.2595 (6) and 2.2796 (6) Å] in equatorial positions. A Cl atom and a symmetry‐related 2‐ethyl­tetrazole mol­ecule [Cu—Cl = 2.8845 (8) Å and Cu—N = 2.851 (2) Å] lie in the axial positions of the octahedron. One of the two 2‐­ethyltetrazole ligands of the asymmetric unit exhibits bidentate binding to two Cu atoms through two N atoms of the tetrazole ring, whereas the other ligand is coordinated in a monodentate fashion via one tetrazole N atom. The Cu‐atom octahedra form dimer entities by sharing edges with equatorial and axial Cl atoms. The dimers are linked together through the 2‐ethyl­tetrazole ligands to form one‐dimensional polymeric zigzag chains extending along the b axis. The chains are connected into infinite layers parallel to the (10) plane via the 2‐ethyl­tetrazole ligands.     

A new complex of HgBr2 and pyrimidine‐2‐thione: (pyrimidine‐2‐thionato‐κS)(pyrimidinium‐2‐thionato‐κS)mercury(II) tetrabromomercury(II)

The title compound, [Hg(C₄H₄N₂S)(C₄H₃N₂S)]₂[HgBr₄], con­sists of [Hg(pymt)(pymtH)]⁺ complex cations (pymtH is pyrimidine‐2‐thione) lying across twofold rotation axes in space group Fddd, with linearly coordinated mercury at an Hg—S distance of 2.357 (3) Å, and [HgBr₄]²⁻ anions lying at sites of 222 symmetry. The Hg atom is additionally coordinated by two N and two Br atoms, forming a 2+4 effective coordination sphere. The protonated ligand is connected via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to the neighbouring unprotonated ligand, thus forming infinite chains of cations.     

Polymeric μ‐bromo‐μ‐pyridine‐3‐carboxyl­ato‐κ3O,O′:N‐mercury(II)

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric complex, [HgBr(C₆H₄NO₂)]_n or HgBr(nic), contains mercury coordinated via two Br atoms [Hg—Br = 2.6528 (9) and 2.6468 (9) Å], two carboxyl­ate O atoms, which form a characteristic four‐membered chelate ring [Hg—O = 2.353 (6) and 2.478 (7) Å], and an N atom [Hg—N = 2.265 (5) Å], in the form of a very irregular (3+2)‐coordination polyhedron. The pronounced irregularity of the effective Hg (3+2)‐coordination is a result of the rigid stereochemistry of the nicotinate ligand. According to the covalent and van der Waals radii criteria, the strongest bonds are Hg—Br and Hg—N. These covalent interactions form a two‐dimensional poly­mer. The puckered planes are connected by van der Waals interactions, and there are only two intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [3.428 (10) and 3.170 (10) Å].     

catena‐Poly­[[di­chlorozinc(II)]‐μ‐1,3‐di‐4‐pyridyl­propane‐κ2N:N′]

The title compound, [ZnCl₂(bpp)]_n (where bpp is 1,3‐di‐4‐pyridyl­propane, C₁₃H₁₄N₂), has been prepared by the hydro­thermal reaction of ZnCl₂ and bpp at 433 K. The Zn, Cl and central propyl C atom lie on the mirrors of the P2₁/m space group. The molecular structure shows a weave‐like polymeric chain. Each Zn atom is coordinated by two N atoms and two Cl atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, with the Zn—N distance being 2.055 (5) Å and the Zn—Cl distances being 2.239 (3) and 2.247 (2) Å.     

Aquabromo(6‐carboxypyridine‐2‐carboxylato‐O,N,O′)mercury(II)

The title compound, [HgBr(C₇H₄NO₄)(H₂O)], was obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of mercury(II) bromide and pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxylic acid (picolinic acid, dipicH₂). The shortest bond distances to Hg are Hg—Br 2.412 (1) Å and Hg—N 2.208 (5) Å; the corresponding N—Hg—Br angle of 169.6 (1)° corresponds to a slightly distorted linear coordination. There are also four longer Hg—O interactions, three from dipicH^? [2.425 (4) and 2.599 (4) Å within the asymmetric unit, and 2.837 (4) Å from a symmetry‐related mol­ecule] and one from the bonded water mol­ecule [2.634 (4) Å]. The effective coordination of Hg can thus be described as 2+4. The mol­ecules are connected to form double‐layer chains parallel to the y axis by strong O—H?O hydrogen bonds between carboxylic acid groups of neighbouring mol­ecules, and by weaker hydrogen bonds involving both H atoms of the water mol­ecule and the O atoms of the carboxylic acid groups.     

Dichloro­[(1E,1′E)‐1,1′‐(pyridine‐2,6‐diyl)diethanone bis­(O‐methyl­oxime)‐κ3N1,N2,N6]copper(II)

In the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₁₁H₁₅N₃O₂)], the Cu^II ion is five‐coordinated in a strongly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal arrangement, with the two methyl­oxime N atoms located in the apical positions, and the pyridine N and the Cl atoms located in the basal plane. The two axial Cu—N distances are almost equal (mean 2.098 Å) and are substantially longer than the equatorial Cu—N bond [1.9757 (15) Å]. It is observed that the N(oxime)—M—N(pyridine) bond angle for five‐membered chelate rings of 2,6‐diacetyl­pyridine dioxime complexes is inversely related to the magnitude of the M—N(pyridine) bond. The structure is stabilized by intra‐ and inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds which involve the methyl H atoms, except for one of the two acetyl­methyl groups.     

Polymeric (μ2‐nitrato‐κ2O:O′)(μ2‐nitrato‐κ2O:O)(μ4‐pyridinium‐4‐thiol­ato‐κ4S:S:S:S)­disilver(I)

The title compound, [Ag₂(NO₃)₂(C₅H₅NS)]_n, was obtained from the reaction of silver nitrate with bis(4‐pyridyl) disufide (4‐PDS) in a mixture of ethanol and water, which suggests that the di­sulfide bond of 4‐PDS can be cleaved under mild conditions. The structure of the title compound is a two‐dimensional infinite array in which the asymmetric unit contains two Ag atoms, a pyridinium‐4‐thiol­ate mol­ecule and two nitrate groups. Each pyridinium‐4‐thiol­ate mol­ecule acts as a μ₄ bridge, linking four Ag atoms, with Ag—S bond distances of 2.4870 (19), 2.5791 (19), 2.5992 (19) and 2.848 (2) Å. The Ag⋯Ag distances lie in the range 2.889 (2)–3.049 (1) Å.     

catena‐Poly­[[[cis‐bis(1‐phenyl­tetra­zole‐κN4)copper(II)]‐di‐μ‐chloro] hemi(1‐phenyl­tetrazole)]

The title compound, {[CuCl₂(PhTz)₂]·0.5PhTz}_n (PhTz is 1‐­phenyl­tetrazole, C₇H₆N₄), has a polymeric structure, with uncoordinated disordered PhTz mol­ecules in the cavities. The coordination polyhedron of the Cu atom is a highly elongated octahedron. The equatorial positions are occupied by two Cl atoms [Cu—Cl = 2.2687 (9) and 2.2803 (7) Å] and two N atoms of the PhTz ligands [Cu—N = 2.0131 (19) and 2.0317 (18) Å]. The more distant axial positions are occupied by two Cl atoms [Cu—Cl = 3.0307 (12) and 2.8768 (11) Å] that lie in the equatorial planes of two neighbouring Cu octahedra. The [CuCl₂(PhTz)₂] units are linked by Cu—Cl bridges into infinite chains extending parallel to the a axis. The chains are linked into two‐dimensional networks by intermolecular C—H⋯N interactions between the phenyl and tetrazole fragments, and by face‐to‐face π–π interactions between symmetry‐related phenyl rings. These two‐dimensional networks, which lie parallel to the ac plane, are connected by intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between phenyl rings, thus forming a three‐dimensional network.     

Dichloro­(O‐ethyl 3‐methyl­pyridine‐2‐carboximidic acid‐κ2N,N′)copper(II)

In the title compound, [CuCl₂(C₉H₁₂N₂O)], the Cu^II atom is coordinated by two Cl⁻ anions and two N atoms of one O‐ethyl 3‐methyl­pyridine‐2‐carboximidic acid mol­ecule in a slightly distorted square‐planar geometry, with Cu—N distances of 2.0483 (17) and 1.9404 (18) Å, and Cu—Cl distances of 2.2805 (10) and 2.2275 (14) Å. In addition, each Cu^II atom is connected by one Cl⁻ anion and the Cu^II atom from a neighbouring mol­ecule, with Cu⋯Cl and Cu⋯Cu distances of 2.9098 (13) and 3.4022 (12) Å, respectively, and, therefore, a centrosymmetric dimer is formed. Adjacent mol­ecular dimers are connected by π–π stacking inter­actions between pyridine rings to form a zigzag mol­ecular chain. The mol­ecular chains are also enforced by N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl inter­actions.     

trans‐Bis­[ethane‐1,2‐di­thiol­ato(2–)‐S,S′]­bis(2‐mer­cap­to­pyri­dine‐S)­tin(IV)

The title compound, [Sn(C₅H₅NS)₂(C₂H₄S₂)₂], was obtained from a 1:2 mixture of bis­(ethane‐1,2‐di­thiol­ato)­tin(IV) and 2‐mercapto­pyridine. The mol­ecules are discrete monomeric trans‐octahedral units, with the Sn^IV atom at the centre of symmetry, planar 2‐mercapto­pyridine zwitterions and SnS₂C₂ groups in twist–envelope conformations. The 2‐mercapto­pyridine ligands are monodentate and are bonded through the S atoms. The S—Sn distances between the S atom of edt (edt is ethane‐1,2‐di­thiol­ate) and the Sn atom are 2.473 (1) and 2.505 (1) Å, which are slightly longer than the S—Sn distance in Sn(edt)₂ of 2.390 (1) Å. The bond between the 2‐mercapto­pyridine S atom and the Sn atom are, remarkably, weaker than the S—Sn bond involving edt.     

Dichloro­[(1E,1′E)‐1,1′‐(pyridine‐2,6‐di­yl)diethanone bis­(O‐methyloxime)‐κ3N1,N2,N6]cobalt(II)

In the title compound, [CoCl₂(C₁₁H₁₅N₃O₂)], the Co^II ion is five‐coordinated in a strongly distorted square‐pyramidal arrangement, with one of the two Cl atoms located in the apical position, and the other Cl atom and the three N‐donor atoms of the tridentate methyloxime ligand located in the basal plane. The non‐H atoms, except for the Cl atoms, lie on a mirror plane. The two equatorial Co—N_oxime distances are almost equal (mean 2.253 Å) and are substanti­ally longer than the equatorial Co—N_pyridine bond [2.0390 (19) Å]. The structure is stabilized by intra‐ and inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl contacts, which involve one of the methyl C atoms belonging to the methyloxime groups.     

catena‐Poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)­silver(I)]‐μ‐nicotinato] and catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato]

In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐nico­tinato‐κ²N:O], [Ag(C₆H₄NO₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from the di‐2‐pyridyl­amine (BPA) ligand [Ag—N = 2.3785 (18) and 2.3298 (18) Å] and by one N atom and one carboxyl­ate O atom from nicotinate ligands [Ag—N = 2.2827 (15) Å and Ag—O = 2.3636 (14) Å]. Bridging by nicotinate N and O atoms generates a polymeric chain structure, which extends along [100]. The carboxyl O atom not bonded to the Ag atom takes part in an intrachain C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, further stabilizing the chain. Pairs of chains are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate ribbons. There are no π–π interactions in this complex. In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato‐κ²O¹:O²], [Ag(C₇H₅O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with three strong bonds to two pyridine N atoms from the BPA ligand [Ag—N = 2.286 (5) and 2.320 (5) Å] and to one carboxyl­ate O atom from the 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligand [Ag—O = 2.222 (4) Å]; the fourth, weaker, Ag‐atom coordination is to one of the phenol O atoms [Ag⋯O = 2.703 (4) Å] of an adjacent moiety, and this interaction generates a polymeric chain along [100]. Pairs of chains are linked about inversion centers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form ribbons, within which there are π–π interactions. The ribbons are linked about inversion centers by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and additional π–π interactions between inversion‐related pairs of 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligands to generate a three‐dimensional network.     

Bis[1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)­ethano­ne‐κN 4‐phenyl­thio­semicarbazonato‐κ2N4,S]­manganese(II)

One half of the mol­ecule of the title complex, [Mn(C₁₄H₁₃N₄S)₂], is related to the other half by a twofold axis passing through the Mn atom. This high‐spin Mn atom is six‐coordinated, in an octahedral geometry, by the azomethine N, the pyridyl N and the thiol­ate S atom of two planar 1‐­(pyridin‐2‐yl)­ethanone N(4)‐phenyl­thio­semicarbazone lig­ands. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are interconnected by N—­H?S and C—H?N interactions, forming a three‐dimensional network.     

Hexa‐μ2‐chloro‐μ4‐oxo‐tetrakis[(2‐ethyl­tetrazole‐κN4)copper(II)]

In the title molecular complex, [Cu₄Cl₆O(2‐EtTz)₄], where 2‐EtTz is 2‐ethyl­tetrazole (C₃H₆N₄), the central O atom is located on the symmetry site and is tetrahedrally coordinated to four Cu atoms, with Cu—O distances of 1.8966 (4) Å. A very slight distortion of Cu₄O from a regular tetrahedron is observed [two Cu—O—Cu angles are 108.76 (3)° and four others are 109.828 (13)°]. Each Cu atom is connected to three others via the Cl atoms, forming a slightly distorted Cl octahedron around the O atom, with O⋯Cl distances of 2.9265 (7) Å for Cl atoms lying on the twofold axis and 2.9441 (13) Å for those in general positions. The Cu atom has a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal environment, with three Cl atoms in the equatorial plane, and with the N atom of the 2‐ethyl­tetrazole ligand and the μ₄‐O atom in axial positions. The Cu atom is displaced out of the equatorial plane by ca 0.91 Å towards the coordinated N atom of the 2‐­ethyl­tetrazole ligand.
