Bis(acesulfamato‐κO4)diaqua­bis­(3‐methyl­pyridine‐κN)nickel(II)

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 basal plane is formed by two carbonyl O atoms of two monodentate trans‐oriented acesulfamate ligands and two trans aqua ligands. 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.     

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.     

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ate

The title complexes, trans‐di­aqua­bis­(quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ato‐κ²N,O)­cobalt(II)–water–methanol (1/2/2), [Co(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2CH₄O·2H₂O, and trans‐di­aqua­bis­(quinoline‐2‐car­box­yl­ato‐κ²N,O)­nickel(II)–water–methanol (1/2/2), [Ni(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2CH₄O·2H₂O, are isomorphous and contain Co^II and Ni^II ions at centers of inversion. Both complexes have the same distorted octahedral coordination geometry, and each metal ion is coordinated by two quinoline N atoms, two carboxyl­ate O atoms and two water O atoms. The quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ate ligands lie in trans positions with respect to one another, forming the equatorial plane, with the two water ligands occupying the axial positions. The complex mol­ecules are linked together by hydrogen bonding involving a series of ring patterns which include the uncoordinated water and methanol mol­ecules.     

1,N6‐Etheno derivative of 7‐de­aza‐2,8‐di­aza­adenosine

In the tricyclic nucleoside 7‐(β‐d ‐ribo­furan­osyl)‐7H‐imidazo­[1,2‐c]­pyrazolo­[4,3‐e][1,2,3]­triazine, C₁₁H₁₂N₆O₄, the con­formation of the N‐gly­cosyl bond is intermediate between anti and high anti [χ = −103.5 (3)°]. The ribo­furan­ose moiety adopts a ₃T² sugar pucker (S‐type sugar) and the conformation at the exocyclic C—C bond is ap (gauche–trans). Molecules of the title compound form a three‐dimensional network via three medium–strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds (one O—H⋯N and two O—H⋯O bonds).     

The α‐d anomer of 5‐aza‐7‐deaza‐2′‐deoxyguanosine

In the monohydrate of 2‐amino‐8‐(2‐deoxy‐α‐d ‐erythro‐pento­furan­osyl)‐8H‐imidazo­[1,2‐a]­[1,3,5]­triazin‐4‐one, C₁₀H₁₃N₅O₄·H₂O, denoted (I) or αZ_d, the conformation of the N‐gly­cosyl­ic bond is in the high‐anti range [χ = 87.5 (3)°].

trans‐4‐Bromo‐ONN‐azoxy­benzene at 100 K

The crystal structure of the α isomer of trans‐4‐bromo­azoxy­benzene [systematic name: trans‐1‐(bromophenyl)‐2‐phenyl­diazene 2‐oxide], C₁₂H₉BrN₂O, has been determined by X‐ray dif­frac­tion. The geometries of the two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit are slightly different and are within ∼0.02 Å for bond lengths, ∼2° for angles and ∼3° for torsion angles. The azoxy bridges in both mol­ecules have the typical geometry observed for trans‐azoxy­benzenes. The crystal network contains two types of planar mol­ecules arranged in columns. The torsion angles along the Ar—N bonds are only 7 (2)°, on either side of the azoxy group.     

catena‐Poly[[[diaqua­[trans‐3‐(4‐pyri­dyl)acrylato]samarium(III)]‐di‐μ‐trans‐3‐(4‐pyrid­yl)acrylato] dihydrate]

In the title compound, {[Sm(4‐pya)₃(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}_n [4‐pya is trans‐3‐(4‐pyrid­yl)acrylate, C₈H₆NO₂], each Sm^III atom is ten‐coordinated and has a bicapped square‐antiprismatic coordination geometry. There is a crystallographic center of symmetry at the mid‐point of the Sm⋯Sm line within each [Sm(4‐pya)₃(H₂O)₂]₂ dimer. Each dimer is inter­connected by two pairs of bridging 4‐pya ligands to form a one‐dimensional chain. Neighboring chains are connected via hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional network.     

[Ni(terpy)(H2O)]‐trans‐[Ni‐(μ‐CN)2‐(CN)2]n,a one‐dimensional linear tetra­cyano­nickelate chain

The one‐dimensional chain catena‐poly­[[aqua(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridyl‐κ³N)­nickel(II)]‐μ‐cyano‐κ²N:C‐[bis­(cyano‐κC)nickelate(II)]‐μ‐cyano‐κ²C:N], [Ni(terpy)(H₂O)]‐trans‐[Ni‐μ‐(CN)₂‐(CN)₂]_n or [Ni₂­(CN)₄­(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)], consists of infinite linear chains along the crystallographic [10] direction. The chains are composed of two distinct types of nickel ions, paramagnetic octahedral [Ni(terpy)(H₂O)]²⁺ cations (with twofold crystallographic symmetry) and diamagnetic planar [Ni(CN)₄]^2? anions (with the Ni atom on an inversion center). The [Ni(CN)₄]^2? units act as bidentate ligands bridging through two trans cyano groups thus giving rise to a new example of a trans–trans chain among planar tetra­cyano­nickelate complexes. The coordination geometry of the planar nickel unit is typical of slightly distorted octahedral nickel(II) complexes, but for the [Ni(CN)₄]^2? units, the geometry deviates from a planar configuration due to steric interactions with the ter­pyridine ligands.     

cis‐Bis(3,6‐di­hydro‐2H‐1,2‐oxazine‐N)­di­iodo­platinum(II) and cis‐bis(3,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro‐2H‐1,2‐oxazine‐N)­di­iodo­platinum(II)

The title complexes, [Pt(C₄H₇NO)₂I₂], (I), and [Pt(C₄H₉NO)₂I₂], (II), possess similar square‐planar coordination geometries with modest distortions from ideality. For (I), the cis‐L—Pt—L angles are in the range 87.0 (4)–94.2 (3)°, while the trans angles are 174.4 (3) and 176.4 (3)°. For (II), cis‐L—Pt—L are 86.1 (8)–94.2 (6)° and trans‐L—Pt—L are 174.4 (6) and 177.4 (5)°. One 3,6‐di­hydro‐2H‐1,2‐oxazine ligand in (I) is rotated so that the N—O bond is out of the square plane by approximately 70°, while the N—C bond is only ca 20° out of the plane. The other oxazine ligand is rotated so that the N—C bond is about 80° out of the plane, while the N—O bond is out of the plane by approximately 24°. In (II), the 3,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro‐2H‐1,2‐oxazine ligands are also positioned with one having the N—O bond further out of the plane and the other having the N—C bond positioned in that fashion. Both ligands, however, are rotated approximately 90° compared with their positions in (I). In both complexes, this results in an unsymmetrical distortion of the I—Pt—N bond angles in which one is expanded and the other contracted. These features are compared to those of reported cis‐di­amine­di­iodo­platinum(II) complexes.     

Carbonyl(5‐nitrotropolonato‐κ2O1,O2)(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐κP)­rhodium(I)

Strong intramolecular and weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed, with H⋯O distances of the order of 2.25 and 2.55 Å, respectively. The Rh—CO, Rh—O (trans to CO), Rh—O (trans to P) and Rh—P bond distances are 1.775 (7), 2.072 (4), 2.068 (4) and 2.2397 (17) Å, respectively, the O—Rh—O angle is 77.09 (16)° and the bidentate O—C—C—O torsion angle is 1.5 (7)°.

The unique Cd^II atom in the Cd₂Br₂ ring in the Cd₃(μ₂‐Br)₆(H₂O)₃ fragment is in a slightly distorted octahedral CdNOBr₄ geometry, surrounded by one hmt ligand [2.433 (5) Å], one aqua ligand [2.273 (4) Å] and four Br atoms [2.6409 (11)–3.0270 (14) Å]. The Cd^II atom in the (μ₂‐hmt)Cd(H₂O)₂Br₂(μ₂‐hmt) fragment lies on an inversion center and is in a highly distorted octahedral CdN₂O₂Br₂ geometry, surrounded by two trans‐related N atoms of two hmt ligands [2.479 (5) Å], two trans‐related aqua ligands [2.294 (4) Å] and two trans‐related Br atoms [2.6755 (12) Å]. Adjacent two‐dimensional coordination sheets are connected into a three‐dimensional network by hydrogen bonds involving lattice water mol­ecules, and the aqua, bromo and hmt ligands belonging to different layers.

In the title complex, trans‐{2,2′‐[cyclo­hexane‐1,2‐diyl­bis­(ni­t­rilo­methyl­idyne)]­di­phenol­ato‐κ⁴O,N,N′,O′}­nickel(II)–chloro­form (1/1), [Ni(C₂₀H₂₀N₂O₂)]·CHCl₃, the Ni atom has a square‐planar geometry, slightly tetrahedrally distorted. The Ni—N and Ni—O bonding distances are within the expected ranges for Ni–Schiff base derivatives. The di­imine bridge has a gauche conformation with the cyclo­hexyl ring almost coplanar with the NiN₂O₂ plane. The complex mol­ecules pack in dimers with an Ni?Ni distance of 3.59 (1) Å and form a three‐dimensional structure displaying a herring‐bone configuration. Channels are occupied by solvent mol­ecules, which are involved in C—H?O hydrogen bonds with the ligand O atoms.

In the title compound, [Mn(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂], the Mn^II atom lies on an inversion centre, is trans‐coordinated by two N,O‐bidentate 1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate monoanionic ligands [Mn—O = 2.202 (3) Å and Mn—N = 2.201 (4) Å] and two water mol­ecules [Mn—O = 2.197 (4) Å], and exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry, with adjacent cis angles of 76.45 (13), 86.09 (13) and 89.20 (13)°. The complete solid‐state structure can be described as a three‐dimensional supramol­ecular framework, stabilized by extensive hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving the coordinated water mol­ecules, the carboxy O atoms and the protonated imidazole N atoms of the imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate ligands.     

Polymeric μ‐cyano‐di­cyano­nickelate(II)‐μ‐cyano‐trans‐bis­[N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)ethyl­enedi­amine]­cadmium(II)

The title compound, catena‐poly­[[μ‐cyano‐1:2κ²C:N‐di­cyano‐1κ²C‐trans‐bis­[N‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)­ethane‐1,2‐di­amine‐2κ²N,N′]­cadmium(II)­nickel(II)]‐μ‐cyano‐1:2′κ²C:N], [CdNi(CN)₄(C₄H₁₂N₂O)₂], consists of alternating square‐planar Ni(CN)₄ fragments, formally dianionic, and Cd(hydet‐en)₂ moieties [hydet‐en is N‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)­ethyl­ene­di­amine], with the two bridging cyanide ligands in a mutually trans disposition at the Ni atom and cis at the Cd atom. The resulting one‐dimensional zigzag chain structure has the Ni atom on an inversion center, while the distorted octahedron centered on the Cd atom lies on a twofold axis. The polymer chains are connected into undulating sheets by weak interchain N—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which are also present between successive sheets.     

Dichloro­oxo(quinoline‐8‐thiolato‐κ2N,S)(triphenyl­phosphine oxide‐κO)rhenium(V) acetone solvate

The complex mol­ecule in the title compound, [Re(C₉H₆NS)Cl₂O(C₁₈H₁₅OP)]·C₃H₆O, has distorted octa­hedral geometry. The Re=O bond occupies the position trans to the triphenyl­phosphine oxide O atom. The Re—Cl bond trans to the thiol­ate S atom is longer than that trans to the quinoline N atom, implying a stronger trans influence of the S atom. Intra‐ and inter­molecular π–π inter­actions are also observed between the π rings in the complex.

The title compounds, 2‐(4‐bromo­phenyl)‐1,2‐di­hydro­pyrimido­[1,2‐a]­benzimidazol‐4‐(3H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂Br­N₃O, (IVa), and 4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐3,4‐dihydropyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐(1H)‐one, C₁₇H₁₅N₃O, (Vb), both form R(8) centrosymmetric dimers via N—H?N hydrogen bonds. The N?N distance is 2.943 (3) Å for (IVa) and 2.8481 (16) Å for (Vb), with the corresponding N—H?N angles being 129 and 167°, respectively. However, in other respects, the supra­molecular structures of the two compounds differ. Both compounds contain different C—H?π interactions, in which the C—H?π(centroid) distances are 2.59 and 2.47 Å for (IVa) and (Vb), respectively (the latter being a short distance), with C—H?π(centroid) angles of 158 and 159°, respectively. The supramolecular structures also differ, with a short Br?O distance of 3.117 (2) Å in bromo derivative (IVa), and a C—H?O interaction with a C?O distance of 3.2561 (19) Å and a C—H?O angle of 127° in tolyl system (Vb). The di­hydro­pyrimido part of (Vb) is disordered, with a ratio of the major and minor components of 0.9:0.1. The disorder consists of two non‐interchangeable envelope conformers, each with an equatorial tolyl group and an axial methine H atom.     

trans‐Di­aqua­bis(5‐carboxy‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carboxyl­ato‐κ2N3,O4)­cobalt(II) 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvate

In the title compound, [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·C₁₀H₈N₂, the Co atom is trans‐coordinated by two pairs of N and O atoms from two monoanionic 4,5‐di­carboxy­imidazole ligands, and by two O atoms from two coordinated water mol­ecules, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvent molecule is not involved in coordination but is linked by an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond to the neutral [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] mol­ecule. Both mol­ecules are located on inversion centers. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which produce a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. Offset π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings of adjacent 4,4′‐bi­pyridine molecules were observed, with a face‐to‐face distance of 3.345 (1) Å.     

trans‐Bis­[1‐methyl‐3‐(p‐nitro­phenyl)­triazenido 1‐oxide‐κ2N3,O]­di­pyridine­nickel(II)

In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Ni(C₇H₇N₄O₃)₂(C₅H₅N)₂], the coordination geometry about the Ni²⁺ ion is octahedral, with two deprotonated 1‐methyl‐3‐(p‐nitro­phenyl)­triazenide 1‐oxide ions, viz. [O₂N­C₆H₄­NNN(O)­CH₃]^?, acting as bidentate ligands (four‐electron donors). Two neutral pyridine (py) mol­ecules complete the coordination sphere in positions trans to each other. The triazenide 1‐oxide ligand is almost planar, the largest interplanar angle of 8.80 (12)° being between the phenyl ring of the p‐nitro­phenyl group and the plane defined by the N₃O moiety. The Ni—N_triazenide, Ni—O and Ni—N_py distances are 2.0794 (16), 2.0427 (13) and 2.1652 (18) Å, respectively.     

Poly[aqua­(μ3‐benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxyl­ato)(μ2‐hydroxo)indium(III)]

In the title compound, [In(C₈H₄O₄)(OH)(H₂O)]_n, the coordination of the In^III ion is composed of six O atoms from three dianionic benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate ligands, two hydroxyl groups and one coordinated water mol­ecule in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The In³⁺ ions are linked by the hydroxyl groups to form zigzag In–OH–In chains, which are further bridged by the benzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic acid ligands to generate a two‐dimensional layered structure featuring three types of rings (six‐, 14‐ and 20‐membered). Hydrogen bonds between the water mol­ecule and a carboxyl­ate O atom, and between the hydroxyl group and a carboxyl­ate O atom, are observed within the layers. In the crystal packing, there are π–­π stacking inter­actions between the benzene rings of adjacent layers, with a centroid‐to‐centroid distance of 3.668 (3) Å and a dihedral angle of 4.8 (2)°.     

catena‐Poly[[silver(I)‐μ‐[(E)‐1,2‐bis(2‐pyridyl)ethylene‐N:N′]] nitrate]
