Three novel metal-organic complexes with formulas [Ni(C9N2O2H7)2(CH3OH)2](1),[Zn(C9N2O2H7)2(H2O)2](2) and [Cd(C9N2O2H7)2(CH3OH)2](3) were synthesized by the reactions of Ni,Zn and Cd salts with ethyl 2-benzimidazolylacetate under hydrothermal conditions or layering technique,and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis,IR spec-troscopy,solid-state luminescent properties and thermogravimetric(TG) analysis.The crystal data for these three complexes are as follows:for 1,monoclinic,space group P21/c,a = 9.384(3),b = 9.634(3),c = 11.292(3) ,β = 95.787(5)°,V = 1015.7(5) 3,Z = 2,F(000) = 492,Dc = 1.547 Kg/m3,μ = 1.002 mm-1,the final R = 0.0451 and wR = 0.0900 for 1833 observed reflections with Ⅰ 2σ(Ⅰ);for 2,orthorhombic,space group Pbca,a = 10.031(4),b = 10.379(4),c = 17.525(7),V = 1824.6(12) 3,Z = 4,F(000) = 928,Dc = 1.645 Kg/m3,μ = 1.392 mm-1,the final R = 0.0452 and wR = 0.0996 for 1661 observed reflections with Ⅰ 2σ(Ⅰ);for 3,monoclinic,space group P21/c,a = 9.9114(13),b =10.4852(15),c = 10.4120(14) ,β = 108.453(5)°,V = 1026.4(2) 3,Z = 2,F(000) = 532,Dc = 1.705 Kg/m3,μ = 1.110 mm-1,the final R = 0.0322 and wR = 0.0805 for 1822 observed reflections with Ⅰ 2σ(Ⅰ).In the three complexes,the ethyl 2-benzimidazolylacetate shows the same chelating mode,and the adjacent units are interlinked into a two-dimensional layer through hydrogen-bonds(O-H···O,N-H···O).     

Synthesis and Hydrogen-bonded Interpenetrating Grid Structure of 5,5＇-Bis [4- （2-hydroxyethyl）phenyl] diazo-dipyrromethane

A new 5,5'-bisdiazo-dipyrromethane compound 3 has been synthesized and cha- racterized. The crystal of 3 is of orthorhombic, space group Iba2 with a = 19.1914(17), b = 9.8396(8), c = 13.7643(12) , V = 2599.2(4)3, Z = 4, C29H34N6O2, Mr = 498.62, Dc = 1.274 g/cm3 , F(000) = 1064, μ(MoKα) = 0.083 mm-1, the final R = 0.0302 and wR = 0.0786 for 6361 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I), and R = 0.0320 and wR = 0.08006 for all data. It reveals that the molecules of compound 3 assemble into grid structures through a R22(7) type hydrogen bonding motif between azopyrrole and hydroxyl group. The grids interpenetrate each other with the assistance of C-H···π interaction.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 3,9-Bis（pyridin-2-yl）-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane

The title compound 3,9-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane 4(C17H18N2O4) has been synthesized by the reaction of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid,and characterized by IR,1H-NMR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction.The crystal belongs to monoclinic system,space group C2/c with a = 25.133(2),b = 5.7219(5),c = 21.942(2) ,β = 99.145(2)°,V = 3115.3(5)3,Z = 8,Dc = 1.340 g/cm3,Mr = 314.33,F(000) = 1328,μ = 0.097 mm-1,MoKa radiation(λ = 0.71073),R = 0.0352 and wR = 0.1022 for 2486 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).X-ray analysis reveals that the two 1,3-dioxane rings passing through the central spiro-C atom both adopt chair conformation.Intermolecular C-H…π,C-H…O and C-H…N weak interactions link the molecules to form a three-dimensional samdwich,which are effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure.
