A new monomeric copper(II) complex with 2,2-bipyridine (bpy) and betaine (bet), [Cu(byy)(bet)₂(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ · H₂O, has been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography.

The Cu atoms are 2.614(1)Å apart and are bridged by four benzoate groups. The discrete dimers are extended into 1D chains that result from hydrogen bonding between the coordinated methanol on one Cu(II) dimer and the nitro substituent on an adjacent Cu(II) dimer. The chains are interdigited and held by – stacking interactions forming 3D supramolecular array.

The cerium(IV) -diketonate compounds [Ce(-diket)₄] [where -diket = tmhd (2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dionate) 1, pmhd (1-phenyl-5-methylhexane-1,3-dionate) 2] were prepared by reacting cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate [CAN; Ce(NH₄)₂(NO₃)₆] with the respective Na(-diket) compound in ethanol, and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group with a = 12.472(4), b = 19.972(5), c = 21.436(3) Å, = 97.05(7), = 90.16(2), = 106.55(3)°, V = 5076(2) ų, Z = 4, T = 150(2) K. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. with a = 14.817(6), b = 17.123(6), c = 19.146(3) Å, = 105.46(4)°, V = 4682(3) ų, Z = 4, T = 150(2) K. Crystals of 1 contain two independent [Ce(tmhd)₄] molecules, with four chelating tmhd ligands bonded to each metal in a distorted dodecahedral arrangement; the cerium atom in 2 is also bonded to four chelating pmhd ligands but in this case the coordination geometry is closer to square antiprism. Both complexes are air and moisture stable. Sublimation studies reveal that 1 sublimes almost quantitatively, while 2 is comparatively involatile.     

Self-assemblies of Ni(II) with phenanthroline and maleate anions: [Ni(H2O)3(phen)L] ⋅ H2O (1) and [Ni(H2O)2(phen)L] ⋅ 2H2O (2) with H2L = maleic acid

The complex [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] H₂O (1), which was obtained by reaction of phenanthroline, Ni(NO₃)₂ 6H₂O, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 7.05, crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁ (no. 4) with cell dimensions: a = 9.350(1) Å, b = 7.631(1) Å, c = 12.821(1) Å, = 106.25(1), and D _calc = 1.607 g/cm³ for Z = 2. The Ni atoms are each octahe drally coordinated by one chelating phen ligand, three H₂O molecules and one monodentate maleato ligand to form [Ni(H₂O)₃(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] complex molecules with d(Ni–O) = 2.038–2.090 Å, d(Ni–N) = 2.066, 2.089 Å. The formed complex molecules are, via the intermolecular hydrogen bonds, assembled into columnar 1D chains. Interdigitation of the chelating phen ligands of the neighboring chains leads to 2D layers and the crystal H₂O molecules are hydrogen bonded to the oxygen atoms of the maleate not coordinated to the Ni atom. However, reaction of NiCO₃, phen, and maleic acid in CH₃OH/H₂O at pH = 6.33 afforded [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)] 2H₂O (2), which crystallized in the triclinic space group (no. 2) with cell dimensions: a = 7.971(1) Å, b = 8.237(1) Å, c = 13.304(1) Å, = 81.005(6)°, = 87.877(8)°, = 78.322(8)°, and D _calc = 1.671 g/cm³ for Z = 2. The Ni atoms are each octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of one phen ligand and four O atoms of two H₂O molecules and two bis–monodentate maleato ligands with d(Ni–O) = 2.041–2.120 Å and d(Ni–N) = 2.095 Å. The Ni atoms are bridged by the maleato ligands to generate 1D ¹ [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)_2/2] chains along [100]. The supramolecular assemblies of the 1D chains via – stacking inter- actions result in thick 2D layers parallel to (001), between which the noncoordinating H₂O molecules are sandwiched. The paramagnetic [Ni(H₂O)₂(phen)(C₄H₂O₄)_2/2] 2H₂O (2) obeys the Curie–Weiss law _m(T-) = 1.139cm³ mol^–1 K with the Weiss constant = –0.95 K.

Chemical preparation, X-ray single crystal, and calorimetric studies of C₁₄H₁₈N₆O·H₂O are described. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P with unit cell dimensions: a = 6.2640(3), b = 10.9840(4), c = 12.2220(3) Å, = 105.03(2), = 96.96(2), = 101.6(2)°, V = 712.10(5) ų, and Z = 2.

Structures of 355-1355-1355-1tricarbonyl: structural evidence for the near-electroneutrality of the dialkylacetal substituent

The structures of the (benzene dialkylacetal)tricarbonyl chromium complexes [⁶-C₆H₅-CH(OR)₂]Cr(CO)₆ (R=Me,1; Et,2), are reported. The compounds were examined as part of a study of the conformations of the tripodal tricarbonylchromium group. For [⁶-C₆H₅-CH(OMe)₂]Cr(CO)₃,1, monoclinic,P2₁/c (# 14),a=15.235(1) Å,b=6.5304(5) Å,c=12.702 Å, =103.197(1)^o,Z=4. For [⁶-C₆H₅-CH(OEt)₂]Cr(CO)₃,2, monoclinic,P2₁/c (# 14),a=9.859(3) Å,b=10.547(3) Å,c=15.138(3) Å, =108.42(2)^o,Z=4. The data show that the molecules adopt the expected three-legged piano stool structure. The carbonyl ligands in1 adopt an eclipsed arrangement with respect to the arene ring and its substituent, while those in2 are staggered. These conformations are consistent with the notion that the acetal substituent behaves largely as an electroneutral group, or at most as a weak electronic acceptor.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of bis(2,2′-bipyridyl)mononitritozinc(II) perchlorate. An example of a six-coordinate cis-octahedral ZnN4O2 chromophore

The crystal structure of bis(2,2-bipyridyl)mononitritozinc(II) perchlorate, [Zn(bipy)₂ (ONO)][ClO₄] (1) has been determined. The complex is monoclinic, with a = 10.9195(4) Å, b = 12.2320(5) Å, c = 16.5477(8) Å, = 105.6150(10), P2₁/n space group, with final R1 = 0.0657 and wR2 = 0.1630. The complex involves a [Zn(bipy)₂ (ONO)]⁺ cation and a [ClO₄]^– anion. The ZnN₄O₂ chromophore is six-coordinate, with a cis-distortion of the two oxygens of the nitrite, O(1) and O(2), at distances 2.216(5) and 2.197(5) Å from the zinc (Zn– O _mean = 2.206(5) Å, O = 0.019(5) Å) and two out of plane Zn–N bonds, Zn–N(2) and Zn–N(3), at 2.129(4) and 2.135(4) Å (Zn–n _mean/out = 2.132(4) Å, n _2,3 = 0.006(4) Å). The two inplane nitrogens, N(1) and N(4), at distances Zn–N(1) = 2.090(4) and Zn–N(4) = 2.085(4) Å (Zn–n _mean/in = 2.087(4) Å, n _1,4 = 0.005(4) Å) are greater than 2.0 Å, but slightly shorter than the axial bonds. The inplane angles ₁, ₂, and ₃ in 1 have values 150.33(18), 108.98(17), and 99.73(18) respectively. The stereochemistry is cis-distorted octahedral, with an ₃ = 99.37(18), which is lower than ₃ = 103.4(1) observed in [Zn(bipy)₂(ONO)][NO₃] (5). Comparison with the corresponding [Cu(bipy)₂(ONO)][Y] complexes suggested that the cis-distortion of the CuN₄O₂ chromophore in the copper(II) series does not originate in the Jahn–Teller or pseudo-Jahn–Teller effect.     

Crystal and molecular structure of a nickel(II) complex with a macrocyclic [14]N4 ligand

The crystal and molecular structure of a macrocyclic oxamido Schiff base Ni(II) complex [NiL] has been determined by X-ray crystallography. L is the dianion of diethyl 5,6,7,8,15,16-hexahydro-6,7-dioxodibenzo[1,4,8,11]tetraazacyclotetradecine-13,18-dicarboxylate. Ni(II) is located in the coordination cavity formed by the four nitrogen donors of the deprotonated macrocyclic oxamido ligand with a distorted square-planar geometry. C–H O hydrogen bonds have been observed in the crystal. The macrocyclic complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P – 1, with lattice parameters a = 7.977(3) Å, b = 12.581(4) Å, c = 12.679(4) Å, = 112.669(6)°, = 96.849(7)°, = 106.204(7)°, V = 1089.9(6) ų, Z = 2.

Crystal structure and low-temperature emission of [(dmp)Cu(μ-S2butphos)2Cu(dmp)][BF4]2·6CH2Cl2 (dmp=2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline; S2butphos=1,4-bis(diphenylphosphinesulfido)butane)

The synthesis and crystal structure of a bimetallic luminescent Cu(I) complex containing 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphinesulfido)butane and the -diimine 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) is described. The coordination geometry about the Cu(I) center is pseudo-tetrahedral. Interplanar interactions between phenyl groups on the phosphine sulfide ligands and the phenanthroline exist which are indicative ofintramolecular -stacking, leading to compressed S–Cu–S bond angles. The complex displays emission from a single metal-centered charge-transfer state at 77 K in a 41 ethanol/methanol (v/v) glass. This is in contrast to the triphenylphosphine complex, which exhibits dual luminescence from a charge-transfer and an intraligand state at 77 K. Crystal data: triclinic, ,a=13.619(4) Å,b=13.673(2) Å,c=15.384(2) Å, =75.08(1)°, =80.35(2)°, =80.67(2)°.

The final agreement factors for 1979 observed reflections [I>3(I)] were:R=0.062 andR _w=0.067. The vibrational spectra confirm the geometrical differences between the two thiooxamidate molecules.

The molecule of 2,3,5-trimethylpyridine N-oxide is protonated. Two pyridine N-oxide molecules are linked by extremely strong OHO hydrogen bonding (2.378(4)Å) to form a cation complex. CHO hydrogen bonding and – interactions also play important role in stablizing the structure of the salt.

The molecular structures of (^tBu)Ga(S₂CNⁿPr₂)₂ (1) and (ⁱPrO)Ga(S₂CNEt₂)₂ (2) have been determined. The variation in the geometries observed for bis-dithiocarbamate compounds of gallium, (X)Ga(S₂CNMe₂)₂ (X=Cl, ⁱPrO, ^tBu) do not lie along the Berry pseudorotation pathway for the square-based pyramid to trigonal bipyramid geometrical transition. Instead, the structures appear to lie on an unusual ligand two-step, Texas, pseudorotation mechanism which results in a highly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Crystal data: (1) monoclinic, P2₁,/c, a = 9.786(1), b = 29.218(3), c = 9.452(1) Å, = 108.379(9)°, V = 2564.7(5) ų, and Z = 4.
