Cymantrenecarboxylate complexes of nickel(II) and cobalt(II)

Reactions of cymantrenecarboxylic acid (CO)₃MnC₅H₄COOH (CymCOOH) with Ni(II) and Co(II) pivalates in boiling THF followed by extraction of the products with diethyl ether or benzene and treatment with triphenylphosphine gave the binuclear complexes LM(CymCOO)₄ML (M = Ni (I) and Co (II); L = PPh₃). Treatment of the benzene extract of the intermediate cobalt cymantrenecarboxylate with 2,6-lutidine (L’) yielded the trinuclear complex L’Co(CymCOO)₃Co(CymCOO)₃CoL’ (III). Complex I is antiferromagnetic; μ_eff decreases from 3.7 to 0.9 μ_B in a temperature range from 300 to 2 K. Structures I-III were identified using X-ray diffraction. The frameworks of complexes I and II are like Chinese lanterns, having four carboxylate bridges and axial ligands L (Ni-P, 2.358(1) Å; Co-P, 2.412(2) Å). The metal atoms are not bonded to each other (Ni…Ni, 2.7583(9) Å; Co…Co, 2808 (2) Å). In complex III, either terminal Co atom is coordinated to one ligand L’ (Co-N, 2.059(2) Å). The Co atoms form a linear chain showing no M-M bonds (Co…Co, 3.346(1) Å), in which either terminal Co atom is linked with the central Co atom by three carboxylate bridges (on average, Co_centr-O, 2.164 Å; CO_term-O, 2.094 Å). In one of three carboxylate groups, only one carboxylate O atom serves as a bridge, while the other is bonded to the terminal Co atom only (Co_term-O, 2.094 and 2.389 Å); so this carboxylate group is a bridging and chelating ligand.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New M‐Triazole Complexes (M = Co,Cu, Zn)

Three new complexes with the ligand 3,5‐diamino‐1,2,4‐triazole (Hdatrz), [Co₃(μ₂‐Hdatrz)₆(H₂O)₆]·(NO₃)₈·4H₂O ( 1 ), [Cu₃(μ₂‐Hdatrz)₄(μ₂‐Cl)₂(H₂O)₂Cl₂]·Cl₂·4H₂O·2C₂H₅OH ( 2 ) and {[Zn₂(μ₂‐SO₄) (μ₃‐datrz)₂]·2H₂O}_n ( 3 ) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 1 has a linear trinuclear mixed‐valence cobalt structure with six neutral triazole ligands in the N(1), N(2)‐bridging mode. The central cobalt atom, Co(1), is coordinated to six nitrogen atoms (octahedral) whereas the terminal cobalt atom, Co(2), is coordinated to an N₃O₃ moiety (octahedral). In complex 1 , the uudd cyclic water clusters, nitrate anions and the trimeric cations are linked to a supramolecular structure. Complex 2 features a linear trinuclear copper(II) core, with four N(1), N(2)‐bridging triazole ligands and two chlorido bridges. The central copper atom is coordinated to an N₄Cl₂ moiety (octahedral) whereas the terminal copper is coordinated to an N₂Cl₂O moiety (square‐pyramidal). In complex 2 , tetrahedral hydrogen bonding interactions play an important role to form a supramolecular network. Complex 3 exhibits a polymeric structure, with N(1), N(2), N(4)‐bridging triazolate ligands and sulfate bridges, in which zinc is coordinated to an N₃O moiety (tetrahedral). In complex 3 , water molecules and sulfate anions construct the sulfate‐water supramolecular chain with hydrogen bonding interactions. In addition, the complexes were investigated by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopic, and thermogravimetric measurements.     

Synthesis and characterization of cobalt(III) tetraaza macrocyclic complexes containing chloro and azido ligands

The complexes [Co(L)Cl₂]Cl · 4H₂O (1) and [Co(L)(N₃)₂]N₃ · 2H₂O (2) (L = 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo [14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12]docosane) have been synthesized, and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structure of (1) is centrosymmetric and the cobalt(III) atom has an axially elongated octahedral geometry with four nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle and two chloride ligands. The cobalt(III) ion in (2) is coordinated to four nitrogen atoms from the macrocycle, and two azide ligands in an octahedral environment, which forms the 1D polymer through hydrogen bonding contacts involving the cation, azide anion and solvent water molecules. Electronic spectra of the complexes also exhibit a low-spin octahedral environment. Cyclic voltammetry of the complexes undergoes a one-electron wave corresponding to Co(III)/Co(II) processes. The electronic spectra and electrochemical behaviors of the complexes are significantly affected by the nature of the axial ligands.     

catena‐Poly[[[N,N′‐bis­(salicyl­idene)propane‐1,3‐diaminato]cobalt(III)]‐μ‐azido] and catena‐poly[[[N,N′‐bis(salicyl­idene)propane‐1,3‐diaminato]cobalt(III)]‐μ‐thio­cyanato]

The two title complexes, catena‐poly[[{2,2′‐[1,3‐propane­diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}cobalt(III)]‐μ‐azido], [Co(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(N₃)]_n, (I), and catena‐poly[[{2,2′‐[1,3‐propane­diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}cobalt(III)]‐μ‐thio­cyanato], [Co(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(NCS)]_n, (II), are isomorphous polynuclear cobalt(III) compounds. In both structures, the Co^III atom is six‐coordinated in an octa­hedral configuration by two N atoms and two O atoms of one Schiff base, and two terminal N or S atoms from two bridging ligands. The [N,N′‐bis­(salicyl­idene)propane‐1,3‐diaminato]cobalt(III) moieties are linked by the bridging ligands, viz. azide in (I) and thio­cyanate in (II), giving zigzag polymeric chains with backbones of the type [–Co—N—N—N—Co]_n in (I) or [–Co—N—C—S—Co]_n in (II) running along the c axis.     

A new three‐dimensional cobalt(II) coordination polymer with a 4‐connected CdSO4‐like topology

The title cobalt(II) coordination polymer, poly[[diaquacobalt(II)]‐μ₄‐3,3′‐(p‐phenylene)diacrylato], [Co(C₁₂H₈O₄)(H₂O)₂]_n, was obtained by reaction of Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and 3,3′‐(p‐phenylene)diacrylic acid (H₂L) under hydrothermal conditions. Each Co^II cation sits on a centre of inversion and is hexacoordinated by six O‐atom donors in an octahedral geometry. The Co^II centres are connected by four centrosymmetric L²⁻ anions, resulting in a three‐dimensional framework structure. The coordinated water molecules and carboxylate O atoms form hydrogen‐bond interactions, stabilizing the structure of the three‐dimensional framework. Topologically, the framework represents a rare example of the three‐dimensional 4‐connected CdSO₄ network type. The metal cations and the organic ligand both show in‐plane coordination with respect to the extended structure.     

μ‐1,2‐Bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene‐κ2N:N′‐bis(tetraaqua­{4‐[2‐(4‐pyridinio)­ethenyl]pyridine‐κN}cobalt(II)) hexaaqua­cobalt(II) tetrakis(sulfate) octahydrate

The title compound, [Co₂(C₁₂H₁₁N₂)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)(H₂O)₈][Co(H₂O)₆](SO₄)₄·8H₂O, consists of bis(4‐pyridyl)ethenedicobalt(II) cations, hexaaqua­cobalt cations, sulfate anions and water solvent molecules that are linked by hydrogen bonds into a network structure. In the hexaaquacobalt cation, the six water molecules are coordinated in an octahedral geometry to the Co atom, which lies on an inversion centre. The other cation is a 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene‐bridged centrosymmetric dimer, consisting of protonated 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene cations, a bridging 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene ligand and tetraaqua­cobalt cations. Each Co atom is six‐coordinated by four water molecules and two N atoms from a protonated 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene cation and the bridging 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene ligand, and the geometry around each Co atom is octahedral.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Antibacterial Activities of Four Schiff Base Copper(II), Zinc(II), and Cadmium(II) Complexes Derived from 2‐[(2‐Dimethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol

Four Schiff base complexes, [Zn₂L₂(NCS)₂] ( 1 ), [Cd₂L₂(NCS)₂]_n ( 2 ), [Zn₄L₂(N₃)₂Cl₄(OH₂)(CH₃OH)] ( 3 ), and [Cu₄L₂(N₃)₂Cl₄(OH₂)(CH₃OH)] ( 4 ) (where L = 2‐[(2‐dimethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single crystal X‐ray determinations. Both 1 and 2 are structurally similar polynuclear complexes. In 1 , each Zn atom has a slightly distorted square‐pyramidal coordination configuration. In the basal plane, the Zn atom is coordinated by one O and two N atoms of one L, and by one O atom of another L. The apical position is occupied by one terminal N atom of a coordinated thiocyanate anion. The Zn···Zn separation is 3.179(3) Å. While in 2 , the Cd1 atom is six‐coordinated in an octahedral coordination. In the equatorial plane, the Cd1 atom is coordinated by one O and two N atoms of one L, and by one O atom of another L. The axial positions are occupied by the terminal N and S atoms from two bridging thiocyanate anions. The coordination of Cd2 atom in 2 is similar to those of the zinc atoms in 1 . The Cd···Cd separation is 3.425(2) Å. Both 3 and 4 are novel tetra‐nuclear complexes. Each metal atom in the complexes has a slightly distorted square‐pyramidal coordination. The arrangements of the terminal metal atoms are similar, involving one O and two N atoms of one L ligand and one bridging Cl atom defining the basal plane, and one O atom of a coordinated water molecule or MeOH molecule occupying the apical position. The coordinations of the central metal atoms are also similar. The basal plane of each metal atom involves one O atom of one L ligand, one terminal Cl atom, and two terminal N atoms from two bridging azide groups. The apical position is occupied by a bridging Cl atom which also acts as a basal donor atom of the terminal metal atom. The Schiff base ligand and the four complexes showed high selectivity and antibacterial activities against most of the bacteria.     

Two new cobalt(II) fumarates and a redetermination of tetraaquacobalt(II) fumarate monohydrate

Poly[triaqua‐μ₄‐fumarato‐cobalt(II)], [Co(C₄H₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]_n, (I), contains two symmetry‐independent octahedrally coordinated Co²⁺ ions, both on inversion centers. One Co²⁺ ion is coordinated by two water molecules and four fumarate dianions, whereas the other Co²⁺ ion is surrounded by four water molecules and two fumarate dianions. Each fumarate dianion is bonded to three Co²⁺ ions, leading to a two‐dimensional structure. The fumarate dianions are nonplanar; the angle between the planes of the two carboxylate groups is 54.9 (2)°. The cobalt(II) fumarate layers are connected by hydrogen bonding into a three‐dimensional network. Compound (I) is not isostructural with calcium(II) fumarate trihydrate [Gupta et al. (1972). Acta Cryst. B 28 , 135–139]. In poly[μ₄‐fumarato‐dimethanolcobalt(II)], [Co(C₄H₂O₄)(CH₄O)₂]_n, (II), the Co²⁺ ions are octahedrally coordinated by four fumarate dianions and two methanol molecules, leading to a three‐dimensional structure. The fumarate group is planar. The Co²⁺ ions and the fumarate dianions both lie on inversion centers. Additionally, the one‐dimensional structure of catena‐poly[[[tetraaquacobalt(II)]‐μ₂‐fumarato] monohydrate], {[Co(C₄H₂O₄)(H₂O)₄]·H₂O}_n, (III), was redetermined at a higher resolution, and the space group C2/c was confirmed.     

A novel two‐dimensional cobalt(II) complex composed of one‐dimensional twisted pair‐like chains: poly[[tetraaquabis(μ3‐pyridine‐2,5‐dicarboxylato‐κ4N,O2:O5:O5′)dicobalt(II)] dihydrate]

A novel neutral polymer, {[Co₂(C₇H₃NO₄)₂(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O}_n, was hydrothermally synthesized using pyridine‐2,5‐dicarboxylate (2,5‐PDC²⁻) as the organic linker. It features a two‐dimensional layer structure constructed from one‐dimensional {[Co(2,5‐PDC)₂]²⁻}_n chains interlinked by [Co(H₂O)₄]⁺ units. The two Co^II cations occupy special positions, sitting on inversion centres. Each 2,5‐PDC²⁻ anion chelates to one Co^II cation via the pyridine N atom and an O atom of the adjacent carboxylate group, and links to two other Co^II cations in a bridging mode via the O atoms of the other carboxylate group. In this way, the 2,5‐PDC²⁻ ligand connects three neighbouring Co^II centres to form a two‐dimensional network. The two‐dimensional undulating layers are linked by extensive hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure, with the uncoordinated solvent molecules occupying the interlamellar region.     

A polymeric cobalt(II) complex derived from citric acid (H4cit) and 2,6‐diaminopurine (dap): {[Co4(cit)2(dap)4(H2O)4]·6.35H2O}n

Poly[[tetraaquadi‐μ₄‐citrato‐tetrakis(2,6‐diaminopurine)tetracobalt(II)] 6.35‐hydrate], {[Co₄(C₆H₄O₇)₂(C₅H₆N₆)₄(H₂O)₄]·6.35H₂O}_n, presents three different types of Co^II cations in the asymmetric unit, two of them lying on symmetry elements (one on an inversion centre and the other on a twofold axis). The main fragment is further composed of one fully deprotonated citrate (cit) tetraanion, two 2,6‐diaminopurine (dap) molecules and two aqua ligands. The structure is completed by a mixture of fully occupied and disordered solvent water molecules. The two independent dap ligands are neutral and the cit tetraanion provides for charge balance, compensating the 4+ cationic charge. There are two well defined coordination geometries in the structure. The simplest is mononuclear, with the Co^II cation arranged in a regular centrosymmetric octahedral array, coordinated by two aqua ligands, two dap ligands and two O atoms from the β‐carboxylate groups of the bridging cit tetraanions. The second, more complex, group is trinuclear, bisected by a twofold axis, with the metal centres coordinated by two cit tetraanions through their α‐ and β‐carboxylate and α‐hydroxy groups, and by two dap ligands bridging through one of their pyridine and one of their imidazole N atoms. The resulting coordination geometry around each metal centre is distorted octahedral. Both groups are linked alternately to each other, defining parallel chains along [201], laterally interleaved and well connected via hydrogen bonding to form a strongly coupled three‐dimensional network. The compound presents a novel μ₄‐κ⁵O:O,O′:O′,O′′,O′′′:O′′′′ mode of coordination of the cit tetraanion.     

Cyano‐bridged extended heteronuclear supramolecular architectures with hexacyano­cobalt(III) as building blocks

The cyano‐bridged heteronuclear coordination polymer poly[tris[(5,12‐dimethyl‐7,14‐diphenyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclo­tetra­deca‐4,11‐diene)copper(II)]‐hexa‐μ‐cyano‐bis[tricyano­cobalt(III)] di­methyl­formamide solvate trihydrate], {[Cu₃Co₂(CN)₁₂(C₂₄H₃₂N₄)₃]·C₃H₇NO·3H₂O}_n, was synthesized by the assembly reaction of [CuL]²⁺ (L is 5,12‐dimethyl‐7,14‐di­phenyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradeca‐4,11‐diene) and [Co(CN)₆]³⁻ in a dimethyl­formamide–water solution. The structure consists of neutral cyano‐bridged Cu₃Co₂ units with the unique Co atom in a general position and all three Cu atoms on independent inversion centres. Each [Co(CN)₆]³⁻ ion connects three Cu^II ions via three cyano groups to form a novel cyano‐bridged two‐dimensional stair‐shaped‐layer structure. The water and dimethyl­formamide molecules are situated in the inter‐fragment spaces.     

Trinuclear Cobalt(II) and Zinc(II) Salamo‐type Complexes: Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Fluorescent Properties

Two trinuclear Co^II and Zn^II complexes, [(CoL)₂(OAc)₂Co] and [(ZnL)₂(OAc)₂Zn], with an asymmetric Salen‐type bisoxime ligand [H₂L = 4‐(N,N‐diethylamine)‐2,2′‐[ethylenediyldioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol] were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV/Vis, and fluorescent spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the Co^II and Zn^II complexes were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction methods. The Co^II atom is pentacoodinated by N₂O₂ donor atoms from the (L)^2– unit and one oxygen atom from the coordinated acetate ion, resulting in a trigonal bipyramid arrangement. With the help of intermolecular hydrogen bonding C–H ··· O and C–H ··· π interactions, a self‐assembled continual zigzag chain‐like supramolecular structure is formed. The Zn^II atom is pentacoodinated by N₂O₂ donor atoms from the (L)^2– unit and one oxygen atom from the coordinated acetate ion, resulting in an almost regular trigonal bipyramid arrangement. A self‐assembled continual 1D supramolecular chain‐like structure is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding C–H ··· O and C–H ··· π interactions. Additionally, the photophysical properties of the Co^II and Zn^II complexes were discussed.     

Two cobalt(III) mono‐dimethylglyoximates isolated from one reaction

The reaction of cobalt(II) nitrate hexahydrate with dimethylglyoxime (DMGH₂) and 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen) in a 1:1:2 molar ratio results in two Co^III mono‐dimethylglyoximates having two chelating phen ligands in cis positions and the Co^III atom coordinated by six N atoms in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The isolated products differ in the deprotonation state of the DMGH₂ ligand. In [μ‐hydrogen bis(N,N′‐dioxidobutane‐2,3‐diimine)]tetrakis(1,10‐phenanthroline)cobalt(III) trinitrate ethanol disolvate 1.87‐hydrate, [Co₂(C₄H₆N₂O₂)(C₄H₇N₂O₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₄](NO₃)₃·2C₂H₆O·1.87H₂O, (I), the C₂‐symmetric cation is formed with the coordination [Co(DMG)(phen)₂]⁺ cations aggregating via a very strong O⁻...H⁺...O⁻ hydrogen bond with an O...O distance of 2.409 (4) Å. Crystals of (I) exhibit extensive disorder of the solvent molecules, the nitrate anions and one of the phen ligands. Compound (I) is a kinetic product, not isolated previously from similar systems, that transforms slowly into (N‐hydroxy‐N′‐oxidobutane‐2,3‐diimine)bis(1,10‐phenanthroline)cobalt(III) dinitrate ethanol monosolvate 0.4‐hydrate, [Co(C₄H₇N₂O₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂](NO₃)₂·C₂H₆O·0.40H₂O, (II), with the DMGH⁻ ligand hydrogen bonded to one of the nitrate anions. In (II), the solvent molecules and one of the nitrate anions are disordered.     

A new coordination mode of 6‐methylnicotinic acid in trans‐tetraaquabis(6‐methylpyridine‐3‐carboxylato‐κO)cobalt(II) tetrahydrate

The title compound, [Co(C₇H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₄]·4H₂O, contains a Co^II ion lying on a crystallographic inversion centre. The Co^II ion is octahedrally coordinated by two 6‐methylpyridine‐3‐carboxylate ligands in axial positions [Co—O = 2.0621 (9) Å] and by four water molecules in the equatorial plane [Co—O = 2.1169 (9) and 2.1223 (11) Å]. There are also four uncoordinated water molecules. The 6‐methylpyridine‐3‐carboxylate ligands are bound to the Co^II ion in a monodentate manner through a carboxylate O atom. There is one strong intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, and six strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds of type O—H...O and one of type O—H...N in the packing, resulting in a complex three‐dimensional supramolecular structure.     

A two‐dimensional cadmium(II) coordination polymer based on 5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)isophthalic acid: poly[[tetraaquabis[μ3‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)isophthalato]dicadmium(II)] pentahydrate]

The title Cd^II compound, {[Cd₂(C₁₃H₇NO₄)₂(H₂O)₄]·5H₂O}_n, was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Cd(NO₃)₂·4H₂O and 5‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)isophthalic acid (H₂L). The asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent Cd^II cations, two deprotonated L²⁻ ligands, four coordinated water molecules and five isolated water molecules. One of the Cd^II cations adopts a six‐coordinate octahedral coordination geometry involving three O atoms from one bidentate chelating and one monodentate carboxylate group of two different L²⁻ ligands, one N atom of another L²⁻ ligand and two coordinated water molecules. The second Cd^II cation adopts a seven‐coordinate pentagonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry involving four O atoms from two bidentate chelating carboxylate groups of two different L²⁻ ligands, one N atom of another L²⁻ ligand and two coordinated water molecules. Each L²⁻ ligand bridges three Cd^II cations and, likewise, each Cd^II cation connects to three L²⁻ ligands, giving rise to a two‐dimensional graphite‐like 6³ layer structure. These two‐dimensional layers are further linked by O—H...O hydrogen‐bonding interactions to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture. The photoluminescence properties of the title compound were also investigated.     

Synthesis and study of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes with 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole

New complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) nitrates, chlorides, and perchlorates with 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (L) were obtained and examined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, and electronic absorption and IR spectroscopy. The cations of all the complexes have linear trinuclear structures. Ligand L is coordinated to the metal ions in a bidentate bridging fashion through the N(1) and N(2) atoms of the heterocycle. The coordination polyhedron of the metal atoms is a distorted octahedron. The molecular and crystal structures of the complexes [Co₃L₆(H₂O)₆](ClO₄)₆ · 3C₂H₅OH · 3.75H₂O and [M₃L₆(H₂O)₆](ClO₄)₆ · 6H₂O (M = Cu²⁺ and Ni²⁺) were determined.     

Construction of Mononuclear Copper(II) and Trinuclear Cobalt(II) Complexes Based on Asymmetric Salamo‐Type Ligands

Mononuclear copper(II) and trinuclear cobalt(II) complexes, namely [Cu(L¹)]₂ · CH₂Cl₂ and [{Co(L²)(EtOH)}₂Co(H₂O)] · EtOH {H₂L¹ = 4,6‐dichloro‐6′‐methyoxy‐2,2′‐[1,1′‐(ethylenedioxydinitrilo)dimethylidyne]diphenol and H₃L² = 6‐ethyoxy‐6′‐hydroxy‐2,2′‐[1,1′‐(ethylenedioxydinitrilo)dimethylidyne]diphenol}, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In the Cu^II complex, the Cu^II atom is four‐coordinate, with a N₂O₂ coordination sphere, and has a slightly distorted square‐planar arrangement. Interestingly, the obtained trinuclear Co^II complex is different from the common reported 2:3 (L:Co^II) salamo‐type Co^II complexes. Infinite 2D layer supramolecular structures are formed via abundant intermolecular hydrogen bonding and π ··· π stacking interactions in the Cu^II and Co^II complexes.     

A novel dinuclear bismuth(III) coordination compound: bis(μ‐pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylato)‐κ4O2,N,O6:O6′;κ4O2:O2′,N,O6‐bis[(azido‐κN)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)bismuth(III)] tetrahydrate

A novel dinuclear bismuth(III) coordination compound, [Bi₂(C₇H₃NO₄)₂(N₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·4H₂O, has been synthesized by an ionothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, IR, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The molecular structure consists of one centrosymmetric dinuclear neutral fragment and four water molecules. Within the dinuclear fragment, each Bi^III centre is seven‐coordinated by three O atoms and four N atoms. The coordination geometry of each Bi^III atom is distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal (BiO₃N₄), with one azide N atom and one bridging carboxylate O atom located in axial positions. The carboxylate O atoms and water molecules are assembled via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure. Two types of π–π stacking interactions are found, with centroid‐to‐centroid distances of 3.461 (4) and 3.641 (4) Å.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Characterization of Polynuclear Potassium(I), Copper(II) and Cobalt(II) Complex with Acetylacetonethylenediamine

The title complex [K{Cu(acen)}₃]₂[Co(NCS)₄]·1/4CH₃OH (acen = acetylacetonethylenediamine anion) has been prepared and characterized. Single-crystal x-ray analysis reveals that the complex crystallizes in space group P I with a = 11.442(2), b = 15.098(3), c = 28.500(4) Å, α = 82.77(1), β = 83.58(1), γ = 85.07(1)°. The crystal consists of the complex [K{Cu(acen)}₃]⁺ cations, [Co(NCS)₄]^2? anions and methanol molecules. Three [Cu(acen)] molecules function as bridging ligands through phenolic O atoms to one K⁺ to give the tetranuclear [K{Cu(acen)}₃]⁺ cation. Each copper(II) atom in the cation is in a square-planar geometry, being coordinated by two oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms from a quadridentate acen ligand. The cobalt(II) atom is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of thiocyanate ligands, forming a deformed tetrahedral environment. The IR and UV-Vis spectra have also been investigated.     

Die Kristallstruktur von Tris(N,N-diethyl-N′-benzoylselenoureato)cobalt(III)

The Crystal Structure of Tris(N,N-diethyl-N′-benzoylselenoureato)cobalt(III) Co(C₁₂H₁₅N₂OSe)₃ crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3 . The cell parameters are a = 16.697(4), c = 8.557(8) Å, Z = 2. The structure was solved with Patterson and direct methods and was refined to a final R-value of 4.59%. Co^III is bidentally coordinated to three N,N-diethyl-N′-benzoylselenourea molecules to form a distorted octahedron with facial arrangement of the selenium and oxygen donor atoms. The Co? Se and Co? O bond lengths are 2.328(2) and 1.943(6) Å, respectively. The arrangement of the molecules within the unit cell leads to the formation of hexagonal channels parallel to the crystallographic c-axis. The wall of the channels is formed by carbon atoms of the phenyl group. The diameter of the channels is 8.148 Å.
