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.

The title compound, [Re₂(C₇H₄NS₂)₄Cl₂]·CH₂Cl₂, consists of dirhenium mol­ecules with bridging N,S‐benzo­thia­zole‐2‐thiol­ate ligands, axial Cl^? ligands and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

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.

In the crystal structure of the title compound [systematic name: diaqua­bis(6‐methyl‐2,2‐dioxo‐1,2,3‐oxathia­zin‐4‐olato‐κO⁴)bis­(3‐methyl­pyridine‐κN)nickel(II)], [Ni(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₆H₇N)₂(H₂O)₂], the Ni^II centre resides on a centre of symmetry and has a distorted octa­hedral geometry.

The axial positions in the octa­hedron are occupied by two N atoms of two trans pyridine ligands. Mol­ecules are stacked in columns running along the a axis. There are π–π stacking inter­actions between the mol­ecules in each column, with a distance of 3.623 (2) Å between the centroids of the pyridine rings. There are also O—H⋯O inter­actions between the columns.

The structure of the title compound, [PtCl₂(C₅H₅N)(C₂H₆S)], consists of discrete mol­ecules in which the Pt‐atom coordination is slightly distorted square planar. The Cl atoms are trans to each other, with a Cl—Pt—Cl angle of 176.60 (7)°. The pyridine ligand is rotated 64.5 (2)° from the Pt square plane and one of the Pt—Cl bonds essentially bisects the C—S—C angle of the di­methyl sulfide ligand. In the crystal structure, there are extensive weak C—H⋯Cl interactions, the shortest of which connects mol­ecules into centrosymmetric dimers. A comparison of the structural trans influence on Pt—S and Pt—­N distances for PtS(CH₃)₂ and Pt(pyridine) fragments, respectively, in square‐planar Pt^II complexes is presented.

In the title compound, [Co(C₂H₆NS)(C₂H₈N₂)₂](NO₃)₂, the Co^III atom has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by one 2‐amino­ethane­thiol­ate and two ethyl­enedi­amine ligands. The three five‐membered chelate rings adopt a gauche conformation with the unfavoured (lel)₂(ob) form, which is ascribed to hydrogen bonds between the amine groups in the complex cation and the nitrate counter‐anions [N?O 2.900 (3)–3.378 (3) Å].

The complex cation has a twofold axis, and the two non‐bridging thiol­ate S atoms in the complex are located on opposite sides of the two di­sulfide bonds. Considering the absolute configurations of the two octahedral units (Δ and Λ) and the four asymmetric di­sulfide S atoms (R and S), the complex consists of the Δ_RRΔ_RR and Λ_SSΛ_SS isomers, which combine to form the racemic compound.

In the square‐planar title complex, [PtI₂(C₇H₇NO)₂], the Pt atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center, coinciding with an anti arrangement of the 3‐acetyl­pyridine ligands. The dihedral angles between the pyridine rings and the Pt coordination plane are 67.5 (2)°, while those between the pyridine rings and the acetyl planes are 20.8 (5)°. The ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR resonance of the title complex (CD₂Cl₂) was observed at −3224 p.p.m. The major structural parameters are compared with those from previously reported related structures.

Both the Cu^II and the squarate ions are located on inversion centers. The Cu^II ions are octa­hedrally surrounded by four O atoms of two water mol­ecules and two squarate anions, and by two N atoms of the isonicotinamide ligands.

In the title complex, [Pd(C₁₂H₈FN₄O₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₂] or trans‐[Pd(FC₆H₄N=N—NC₆H₄NO₂)(C₅H₅N)₂], the Pd atom lies on a centre of inversion in space group P. The coordination geometry about the Pd²⁺ ion is square planar, with two deprotonated 3‐(2‐fluoro­phenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitro­phenyl)­triazenide ions, FC₆H₄N=N—NC₆H₄NO₂^?, acting as monodentate ligands (two‐electron donors), while two neutral pyridine mol­ecules complete the metal coordination sphere. The whole triazenide ligand is not planar, with the largest interplanar angle being 16.8 (5)° between the phenyl ring of the 2‐­fluorophenyl group and the plane defined by the N=N—N moiety. The Pd—N(triazenide) and Pd—N(pyridine) distances are 2.021 (3) and 2.039 (3) Å, respectively.

Bis(acesulfamato‐κ2O4,N)bis­(3‐methyl­pyridine)copper(II)

In the crystal structure of the title compound {systematic name: bis­[6‐methyl‐1,2,3‐oxa­thia­zin‐4(3H)‐one 2,2‐dioxide(1−)‐κ²N³,O⁴]bis­(3‐meth­yl­pyridine)copper(II)}, [Cu(C₄H₄NO₄S)₂(C₆H₇N)₂], the Cu^II centre resides on a centre of symmetry and has an octa­hedral geometry that is distorted both by the presence of four‐membered chelate rings and because of the Jahn–Teller effect. The equatorial plane is formed by the N atoms of two methyl­pyridine ligands and by the more basic O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands, while the weakly basic N atoms of these ligands are in elongated axial positions with a misdirected valence. The crystal is stabilized by two inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions involving the methyl and CH groups, and the sulfonyl O atoms of the acesulfamate group.

In the complex, each Mn²⁺ ion is coordinated by three O atoms and one N atom from the pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxyl­ate ligands and by three water O atoms, resulting in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination. Within the centrosymmetric dinuclear complex, two Mn²⁺ ions are bridged by two carboxyl­ate O atoms. The crystal structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving all the H atoms of the water ligands.

The title compound, [Cd(C₆H₄NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, forms a one‐dimensional chain structure based on a Cd atom with approximate pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry and two nicotinate ligands in different coordination modes. One acts as a tridentate ligand, chelating one Cd atom through the carboxyl­ate group while simultaneously binding to a second symmetry‐related Cd atom through the pyridine N atom; the other acts only as a bidentate ligand through its carboxyl­ate group. Hydro­gen bonds utilizing the coordinated water mol­ecules, uncoordinated nitro­gen and carboxyl­ate O atoms as acceptors link the chains.
