Thermal studies on oxalate complexes. IV. Potassium bis(oxalato)cuprate(II) dihydrate

The dehydration and decomposition of K₂[Cu(C₂O₄)₂] · 2 H₂O have been studied using TG. The dehydration reaction gave the best fit to a second-order rate equation and has an activation energy of 411.5 ± 41.1 kJ mole^?1. Three distinct decomposition patterns were observed for the anhydrous complex. In the first case, K₂[Cu(C₂O₄)₂] decomposes to K₂CO₃ and CuO by loss of CO₂ and 2 CO. In the second case, decomposition leads to K₂C₂O₄ and Cu by loss of 2 CO₂. In the third case, the basic carbonate K₂[Cu(CO₃)_3/2O_1/2] is produced by loss of 2 CO and 0.5 CO₂. In the last case additional loss of CO₂ leads to the formation of K₂CO₃ and CuO in a separate reaction. Kinetic parameters are reported and discussed for all these reactions.     

The crystal structure and low temperature magnetic susceptibility of square-planar bis(1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II) perchlorate dihydrate

Summary We have carried out low temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements and a redetermination of the crystal and molecular structure of bis(1,5-diazacyclooctane)nickel(II) perchlorate dihydrate from three-dimensional intensity data collected on a CAD4 diffractometer. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares to the R value of 6.3% for 1501 observed reflections. The positions of the hydrogen atoms were obtained from the diffraction data. Contrary to our earlier conclusions drawn by inspection of molecular models of bis(diazacyclooctane) complexes, the axial sites in the actual crystal structure are open for ligation. The Ni-N bonds are, however, sterically protected by the coplanar N-H bonds, allowing maximum ligand-field stabilization for the squareplanar geometry around the nickel atom. The observed magnetic transition from a diamagnetic state at room temperature to a paramagnetic state at 78 K is explained on the basis of long-range exchange interactions along sterically unshieldedz axis. The crystal structure is compared with other similar structures.     

Crystal structure of ammonia dihydrate II

We have used density-functional-theory (DFT) methods together with a structure searching algorithm to make an experimentally constrained prediction of the structure of ammonia dihydrate II (ADH-II). The DFT structure is in good agreement with neutron diffraction data and verifies the prediction. The structure consists of the same basic structural elements as ADH-I, with a modest alteration to the packing, but a considerable reduction in volume. The phase diagram of the known ADH and ammonia monohydrate + water-ice structures is calculated with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof density functional, and the effects of a semi-empirical dispersion corrected functional are investigated. The results of our DFT calculations of the finite-pressure elastic constants of ADH-II are compared with the available experimental data for the elastic strain coefficients.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of hydrated cation-anion nickel(II) thiosemicarbazide and nickel(II) malonate dihydrate complex

A crystal of Ni(HL)₂[Ni(Malon)₂(H₂O)₂]₂ · 3.51H₂O (I), which is built of [Ni(HL)₂]₂₊ cations (HL is thiosemicarbazide), [Ni(Malon)₂(H₂O)₂]_2? anions (H₂ Malon is malonic acid), and molecules of crystal water, has been synthesized and studied by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffraction. Structural units of complex I are linked by electrostatic interactions and numerous hydrogen bonds. The unit cell parameters b = 7.233(1) Å, c = 24.426(5) Å, β = 127.98(3)°, space group C2/c, Z = 8. The polyhedron of the nickel atom in [Ni(HL)₂]₂₊ cations is a cis-square that is slightly distorted within ～10°. Ligands HL are bidentately chelately coordinated (via N and S) to the nickel atom with the closure of near planar five-membered chelate rings. The malonate groups in [Ni(Malon)₂(H₂O)₂]^2? anions are bidentately chelately coordinated with the formation of six-membered non-planar chelate rings. The coordination of the central atom is complemented to an octahedron with two H₂O molecules. The bond lengths in cations are 1.924(4) and 1.912(4) Å (Ni-N) and 2.144(1) and 2.150(2) Å (Ni-S), and the bond lengths in anions are 2.003–2.046(3) Å (Ni-O) and 2.113(4) and 2.122(3) Å (Ni-O(w)).
